Mega Hawlucha ex Spreads Its Wings in Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes

In this corner, a feisty Fighting-type Pokémon with a devastating finisher.

Mega Hawlucha soared right into the hearts of many Trainers when its Mega-Evolved glory was unveiled in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, its tremendous tenacity made even more magnificent with a glittering gold capelet and mask. Now, Trainers will have the opportunity to see the Wrestling Pokémon in action in the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s upcoming expansion, Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes.

Slam your opponent’s Pokémon, knock away any Stadium in play, and turn the tide of battle in one fell swoop with Mega Hawlucha ex’s Somersault Dive attack.


In this illustration by AKIRA EGAWA, Mega Hawlucha is the center of attention, taking a high dive from the skyscrapers and coming straight for the viewer. The vivid colors and dynamic angles take this action-packed moment to greater heights.

Mega Hawlucha ex boasts 250 HP, which may seem meager compared to some of its Mega Evolution counterparts, but its Tenacious Body Ability gives it a fighting chance—if you’re lucky enough to flip heads. If you do, Mega Hawlucha ex is not Knocked Out by damage from an incoming attack, and its remaining HP becomes 10, earning it a precious opportunity to launch a devastating counterattack.

Introducing Z Mega Evolution

While Mega Lucario, the Mega Evolution of Lucario, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the newly discovered Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension!


Z Mega Evolutions such as Mega Lucario Z need less time to fire off moves after receiving an order. But Z Mega Evolutions also burn through Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles, so try to settle matches as fast as possible!

Press Release - Mega Lucario Z Discovered for Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

Catch Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo in Extra Side Mission Available Now in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

BELLEVUE, Wash.– Dec. 2, 2025 – Today, the Pokémon Company group revealed that Mega Lucario Z has been discovered and will appear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension[1]. A new extra side mission has also been revealed for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, allowing players to catch the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension - Mega Lucario Z

A newly discovered form of Lucario, Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.


The long fur around Mega Lucario Z’s head and waist, as well as its fan-shaped tail, make it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements. In close combat, this can work to visually disorient opponents. Areas of its body, such as the backs of its hands and its shins, have been hardened with steel energy – allowing it to deliver powerful blows by concentrating its strength precisely into these hardened parts.


Category: Aura Pokémon
Type: Fighting/Steel
Height: 4'3" (1.3 m)
Weight: 108.9 lbs. (49.4 kg)

Z Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Lucario Z, need less time to fire off moves but burn through Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles but a good option when trying to settle matches as fast as possible.

Vaporeon Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Make a splash with the Water-type Eevee Evolution. Ready to make waves, Trainers? Vaporeon is here to make the most of healing currents and powerful jet streams as a Ranged Defender in Pokémon UNITE. The Bubble Jet Pokémon starts every battle as the adorable Eevee and evolves into Vaporeon at Lv. 4. Between unleashing powerful blasts of water and absorbing health to restore its energy, this Pokémon is primed to keep your enemies on their toes.

Read more about what Vaporeon brings to the battlefield before you dive into competitions on Aeos Island.

Vaporeon Basics

Ability: Run Away (Eevee) - Restores Eevee’s HP and nullifies damage from Pokémon from the opposing team. Run Away goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Ability: Water Absorb (Vaporeon) - Grants a water shield whenever a set amount of time passes. If Vaporeon takes damage while the water shield is active, the shield nullifies the damage and restores Vaporeon’s HP instead. Water Absorb goes on cooldown after it’s triggered. Hitting a Pokémon from the opposing team with a move or boosted attack will reduce Water Absorb’s cooldown.

Basic Attack - Eevee’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage.

Vaporeon’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage. Hitting a Pokémon from the opposing team with a boosted attack will reduce Vaporeon’s Ability cooldown.

Lv. 1 & 2 Moves

Choose one at Lv. 1 and the other at Lv. 2.

Swift - Eevee shoots star-shaped rays in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon.

Tackle - Eevee charges in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and shoving them.

Lv. 4 Moves

Hydro Pump - Vaporeon continuously launches a huge volume of pressurized water in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and pushing them. Hydro Pump ends by unleashing a powerful blast of water, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and shoving them. When Hydro Pump is upgraded, its cooldown is reduced.

Muddy Water - Vaporeon splashes muddy water around itself, dealing damage, applying a slowing effect, and throwing opposing Pokémon.

When Muddy Water is upgraded, the slowing effect applied to opposing Pokémon is strengthened.

Lv. 6 Moves

Aqua Ring - Vaporeon jumps in the designated direction, creating a continuous wave centered on itself. Ally Pokémon who come in contact with the wave are enveloped by a veil of water that continually restores HP. When Aqua Ring is upgraded, the amount of HP restored increases.

Flip Turn - Vaporeon cloaks itself in water, reducing damage received and increasing movement speed. When Flip Turn is used again, Vaporeon charges in the designated direction, dealing damage and shoving opposing Pokémon before jumping back in the opposite direction. If Pokémon from the opposing team are hit with the second stage of Flip Turn, Vaporeon is granted a shield effect.

When Flip Turn is upgraded, the damage Vaporeon receives is further reduced.

Vaporeon’s Unite Move

Aquamarine Splash - Vaporeon jumps up high and dives underwater, creating a current that pulls in nearby opposing Pokémon. Afterward, it leaps out of the water, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokémon and throwing them when it lands.

Dhelmise Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Slam the competition with the Ghost- and Grass-type Pokémon. Ahoy, Trainers! Dhelmise is here to swing the tide of battle as a Melee All-Rounder in Pokémon UNITE. The Sea Creeper Pokémon’s basic attacks and moves are all centered around its powerful anchor, so it’s certain to have a heavy impact on your next match. Battling with this Pokémon requires more than brute force, though—Dhelmise’s Steelworker Ability rewards intentional basic attack and move timing to get the most out of its moveset. It might be tedious at first, but you’ll be hooked in no time.

Read more about what Dhelmise is bringing to the battlefield, and prepare to send your competition straight to the watery deep.

Dhelmise Basics

Ability: Steelworker - Dhelmise is granted a shield whenever a set amount of time has passed and one of its moves deals damage to Pokémon from the opposing team. Each time Steelworker or other effects grant Dhelmise a shield, Dhelmise’s next basic attack deals increased damage. This effect can stack up to 3 times. When a shield expires after a set amount of time, HP proportional to the amount of remaining shields is restored.

Basic Attack - Dhelmise attacks by slamming its body.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Choose one at Lv. 1 and the other at Lv. 3.

Payback - Dhelmise swings its anchor, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Dhelmise deals increased damage if opposing Pokémon hit it with an attack while Payback is being used.

Bulldoze - Dhelmise shakes the ground by slamming its anchor, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and throwing them.

Lv. 5 Moves

Power Whip - Dhelmise slashes its anchor horizontally in front of itself, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect when it hits and granting it a shield. The edge of the anchor deals additional damage and leaves opposing Pokémon it hits unable to act. Power Whip can be upgraded to increase the duration opposing Pokémon are left unable to act.

Whirlpool - Dhelmise swings its anchor diagonally, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon. Every third time Whirlpool is used, it generates a whirlpool centered on Dhelmise, pulling in nearby opposing Pokémon. Whirlpool’s cooldown is reduced every time Dhelmise hits with a basic attack. Whirlpool can be upgraded to further reduce its cooldown every time Dhelmise hits with a basic attack.

Lv. 7 Moves

Anchor Shot - Dhelmise throws its anchor in the designated direction and catches an opposing Pokémon with it, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. Dhelmise then pulls the opposing Pokémon toward itself. Anchor Shot can be upgraded to increase the amount of damage dealt to the pulled opposing Pokémon.

Heavy Slam - Dhelmise lobs its anchor in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon at the point of impact and leaving them unable to act. Opposing Pokémon near the point of impact take damage and have a slowing effect applied to them. Dhelmise then slams its heavy body down at the anchor’s point of impact, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Heavy Slam can be upgraded so that when Dhelmise slams its heavy body down, opposing Pokémon at the center of impact are left unable to act.

Dhelmise’s Unite Move

Seaweed Snare - Dhelmise throws its anchor and ensnares a designated Pokémon from the opposing team with its long chain, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. Dhelmise then charges at that Pokémon, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. If other Pokémon from the opposing team are hit by the anchor or the charge, they take damage and are shoved. Dhelmise then converts a portion of the damage dealt while using Seaweed Snare into HP recovery.
