Polygon reports that Pokémon Champions is adding Z Mega Evolutions for Lucario, Absol, and Garchomp in Regulation Set M-C, alongside a teaser for legendary powerhouse Mega Heatran.
The recent Pokémon World Championships brought more than just high-stakes competitive matches, delivering major updates for the future of Pokémon Champions. Polygon reports that during the event, The Pokémon Company dropped a fresh trailer showcasing Regulation Set M-C, which kicks off on September 9 and introduces Z Mega Evolutions to the competitive rotation.
Players can look forward to seeing Z Mega Evolutions for Lucario, Absol, and Garchomp. Originating from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, these variants bring distinct stat distributions and new abilities to the table. Mega Absol Z picks up Sharpness to boost cutting moves, Mega Lucario Z gets Wave Shield to mitigate contact damage, and Mega Garchomp Z gains Levitate to bypass Ground-type weaknesses. Rillaboom and Baxcalibur are also joining the roster, while a separate teaser points toward the arrival of Mega Heatran in a future update.
These additions are set to shake up the current meta as competitors adapt to new tactical options and legendary powerhouses. As the game continues to evolve its competitive ecosystem, players are already analyzing how these shifts will impact team building for the upcoming regulation set.
