Mega Evolution was a widely beloved mechanic, first introduced in\u00a0Pokemon X\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Pokemon Y<\/em>, which did not make a comeback with the launch if\u00a0Pokemon Sword\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and\u00a0Pokemon Shield<\/strong><\/em>. Instead, Dynamax and Gigantamax were introduced, which filled a similar role, though with different mechanics involved. While many fans mourned the loss of Mega Evolution, and its removal was one of the many things wrong with\u00a0Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Shield<\/em><\/a>\u00a0at launch, some fans believe that the popular mechanic may indeed be making a comeback to the games, potentially through the rumored Kalos DLC. Fans have jumped to this conclusion by connecting several strange coincidences within the game and its recent DLCs.<\/p>\n

Fans are currently holding onto the belief that Mega Evolution will eventually make a return in\u00a0Pokemon Sword<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Pokemon Shield<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>sometime in the near future. This is mostly due to two common theories running in the community. First, it is rumored that the next DLC coming to\u00a0Sword\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Shield\u00a0<\/em>will bring players back to the Kalos region. While this is based on some interesting trends and design choices by Game Freak, it is by no means set in stone and nowhere near confirmed. However, if players visit Kalos, it would be wild for Mega Evolution to not make an appearance as it was such a pivotal part of\u00a0Pokemon X\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Pokemon Y<\/em>. Those were the first games to feature Mega Evolution, it played a large role in the story and main progression of the games, and it was a key selling point that added a lot of depth to competitive battling. The feature was then brought back for\u00a0Pokemon Omega Ruby\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Alpha\u00a0<\/em>Sapphire<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Another big reason why players believe Mega Evolution is coming back is that\u00a0the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra DLCs brought back a large number of the Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution. While this is not the strongest evidence for the return of the feature, there seems to have been a deliberate selection process for which Pokemon to bring back, especially with the upcoming Crown Tundra DLC<\/a>, as there are a\u00a0a few\u00a0“one-off” Pokemon that do not evolve, and are not great Pokemon by themselves, but with Mega Evolution they became a lot better. The complete list of Pokemon in the games (or coming to the games) is below.\u00a0Spoiler Warning: Skip this section if players do not want to be spoiled on which Pokemon are returning with the Crown Tundra.<\/strong><\/p>\n
