Mega Victreebel is the Mega Evolution form of Victreebel, which first appeared in Pokémon Red and Green. The Mega Evolution Victreebel produces a large amount of dissolving liquid in its body, and is so transformed that it cannot help but bind itself around its own throat. Instead of ambushing its prey like a normal Victreebel, it is characterized by a belligerent style that aggressively seeks to kill its prey. The body blows that are delivered from its huge body boast powerful force.

The aged dissolving liquid gives off a sweet aroma that can make you dizzy. Fan the leaves overhead to bathe them in the scent and stop your opponent from moving to take advantage of the battle. The solubility has been further enhanced and is so dangerous that it can even dissolve concrete and steel, so trainers who handle Mega Victreebel are required to be considerate.

"Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A" will be released for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday, October 16, 2025. For more information on this title, please visit the official "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A" website.
