Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s newly revealed DLC Mega Evolution for Chimecho is disappointing, and you should be upset about it.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A came out just three weeks ago, but it’s already getting additional content in the form of the new Diancie side quest and the Mega Dimension DLC, now scheduled for release on December 10. Many fans are wondering how to get Diancie in Pokemon Legends: Z-A due to the Pokemon’s incredibly low catch rate (and the fact that it fits the color scheme of Heal Balls, which have a low catch rate as well), though the critter is not yet usable in ranked battles. Things will dramatically change come December 10, as several returning Pokemon become available and receive new Mega Evolutions, including Gen 3’s Chimecho.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s second trailer for the Mega Dimension DLC came out yesterday, and it features a better look at what is coming with the expansion:
New zones that are glimpses of Hyperspace Lumiose.
These will be accessible with donuts baked by Hoopa and Ansha, requiring players to farm Berries.
Each zone will have a timer, an increase to the maximum level of the player’s Pokemon and wild Pokemon, and different challenges associated with each type of donut.
A donut cooking minigame involving Berries.
New trainer battles and Alpha encounters.
27 confirmed returning Pokemon, so far, including:
Galarian Meowth
Perrserker
Mankey
Primape
Annihilape
Cubone
Marowak
Alolan Marowak
Galarian Mr. Mime

Mega Baxcalibur
Mega Chimecho in Pokemon Legends: Z-A has a very distinct appearance that combines the general idea of Chimecho as a Pokemon with the design of its pre-evolution, Chingling, whose silhouette makes for the gold/metal frame that holds several chimes.
