Pokemon Legends: Z-A launches for Switch consoles soon, and to celebrate, the Pokemon Company has announced a special event for the game that will feature live lucha libre wrestling. Also known as the best form of wrestling by people of quality, the event will kick off on September 25 at Arena Mexico in Mexico City.
The Pokemon Company says the showcase will feature four exhibition matches, with one of the confirmed performers being Mistico–who performed in the WWE during the early 2010s under the ring name of Sin Cara. The Pokemon Company added that tickets for the event will go on sale soon, but if you can’t make it, the matches will be streamed via the official Pokemon and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre YouTube channels.
The announcement was made shortly after the reveal of a brand-new Mega Evolution for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Fittingly, the Pokemon getting the power-up in the game is Hawlucha, a Luchador-themed Pokemon with unique high-flying moves in its arsenal. Hawlucha’s Mega Evolution doubles down on its wrestling inspiration, giving it ornate plumage and making it look ready for a main event match at the next Wrestlemania.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A launches on October 16 for Switch 2 and Switch, and the previous Mega Evolution reveal was done in a manner that makes a strong case for a Pokemon horror movie. The game also changes up the usual turn-based gameplay format by introducing real-time battles and free-for-all showdowns that up to four players can participate in.
