A talented Pokemon enthusiast has recently envisioned a hypothetical Mega form for Meganium from Generation 2. Mega Evolution, a temporary but powerful transformation introduced in Pokemon X and Y in 2013, has become a fan favorite. These Mega forms provide Pokemon with incredible new abilities during their short duration. The popularity of Mega Evolution has led to the creation of custom Mega forms for Pokemon that have yet to receive an official one, such as Deoxys and Toxicroak. Now, a custom Mega form for one of the Starter Pokemon from Generation 2 has been imagined and is sure to impress on the battlefield.
A beautiful rendering of a hypothetical Mega Evolution for the Grass-type Meganium has been shared by Reddit user PhantomLink2782. The pink flower petals on Meganium have been transformed into a larger mane, while dark green leaves now adorn its legs and tail. The tips of its antennae now have flower buds, giving it a more majestic and ferocious appearance. Fans have applauded PhantomLink2782 for the design and color of Mega Meganium, with some requesting Game Freak to add more Mega Evolutions despite the recent downplaying of the mechanic in favor of new Evolution types such as Dynamax and Tera Forms. While no new Mega Evolutions have been introduced since 2014, the existing Mega forms have still made appearances in spin-off titles like Pokemon GO and are often the focus of special Raid events.
Many fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the Mega Evolution mechanic in a future Pokemon game. In the meantime, enthusiasts have taken to creating alternate forms for existing creatures such as Meganium. PhantomLink2782's custom Mega form of Chikorita's final evolution is particularly noteworthy, as it enhances the creature's already impressive appearance and imbues it with an even more striking and intimidating presence.
