These include Dragonite, who was used by Lance and will get a Mega form in Legends ZA. Tyranitar. Salamence who was used by Drake and Zinnia, got a mega form, and inspired Roaring Moon. Metagross and their mega form used by Steven Stone in generation 3. Garchomp, iconically used by Cynthia in diamond pearl and platinum.
