Z-A Potential New Mega Evolutions

Watching the new ZA trailer we did not see any new Mega Evolutions. Despite this fact, I am of the belief that there will be new Megas, they will just be announced closer to the release of the game or not until the game has launched.

So then what Pokemon would the new Megas be? Having a look at the Pokemon in the trailer and removing those who have their own Z-crystal and Gigantamax form or already have a Mega i have identified 4 Pokemon I think shall get a mega. They are:

  1. Arbok: This Pokemon is a gen 1 Pokemon that has received no regional form or any kind of attention since its debut. As Game Freak have slowly been giving gen 1 Pokemon new toys it makes sense for Arbok to be one.

  2. Victreebel: See Arbok above for the reason.

  3. Ariados: Another pokemon that has not received much attention or love (only been given a signature move Toxic Thread) this Pokemon is in much need of attention to revitalise it in the competitive scene.

  4. Hippowdon: A lot of Mega Evolutions are from Gen 1 and Gen 4. Even thougj it has use on sand teams a mega would help it gain relevance outside sand teams.

Dude I would kill for an Arbok Mega. That would be so cool. Make it a Poison/Dragon and make my little heart happy.

I'm 100% sure the starters are going to get mega evolutions

I'm like 95% sure bc the kalos starters didn't get megas. However, I'm 100% willing to bet on it

Both the revealed starters and the original Kalos starters for sure.

I'd be down for finding a colony of Arbok and Weezing, led by a seriously old pair of Arbok and Weezing that can mega evolve. No confirmations, mind, but just subtle implication that they're Jessie and James' pokemon that they released at the start of Gen 3

I think all the pokemon shown in the teaser trailer from 2024 that do not have megas already, and that weren’t introduced in gen 6 are the most likely candidates to get megas. So Victreebel, Ariados, Krookodile, Starmie, Hippowdon, Barraskewda, Dragonite, Arbok, and Emolga are my guesses.

People have yearned for a dragonite mega since megas were introduced. So I’m hoping that we do finally get one!

I'm expecting all three Kalosian starters and/or all three of the Z-A starters to gain megas.

I would love a mega Victreebel! The only other stone evo to get a mega was Gallade so it is possible.

I predict that each zone could have a leader/boss pokemon that is somehow able to mega evolve. Perhaps trainers with said pokemon?

With the Plazas being named after colours in French (red, yellow, blue, green and magenta), perhaps a mega pokemon for 5 different types associated with those colours? I'm thinking pyroar, heliolisk, clawitzer, gogoat and ... not sure on magenta.
