I grew up playing and watching Pokémon, but most of the catching them all I do these days is either in Pokémon TCG Pocket or Pokémon Go. But as readers of this site know, I'm a huge wrasslin' fan. So I was intrigued when I heard about Mega Hawlucha, an evolution in Pokémon: Legends: Z-A. When I saw Hawlucha chase a Machamp down like dude owed him money, I knew I'd be playing this game at some point.

Mega Hawlucha loves putting on a great show, and on September 25, he'll be helping the superstars of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre with a special event at Arena Mexico. The event will have a live broadcast on CMLL's YouTube channel

Mega Hawlucha: Tale of the Tape

Bulked up by Mega Evolution, it uses its muscles to take hit after hit from opponents’ moves and flex its own strength. After luring its opponent into attacking, it retaliates to make them flinch before diving at them using its signature move, Flying Press, to aim for victory.

Legends: Z-A takes place in Lumiose City, based on Paris. Mega Evolutions will be available after filling a gauge for certain Pokemon, such as Dragonite and, obviously, Hawlucha. The three starters will be Chikorita, Todile, and Tepig.

Legends Z-A will release Oct. 16 on Nintendo Switch, with a special enhanced version also slated for the Switch 2. I can't wait to come off the top rope with Mega Hawlucha.
