Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves will not be in Pokemon Sword/Shield, developer Game Freak has confirmed. That news was confirmed at Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 2019 yesterday.

Both features were introduced in the 3DS games. Mega Evolutions gave a new look to some certain Pokemon with boosted stats while Z-Moves allowed certain Pokemon to perform a powerful special move.
