How to Color Mega Pokemon Pages Well
- Keep their main colors: Most Mega Evolutions keep the main colors of their normal form, so color Mega Charizard X in black and blue, or Mega Charizard Y in orange, to stay true to each design.
- Bold, bright colors: Mega Evolutions have a powerful look, so use bold, bright colors to match their dramatic, powered-up style.
- Add the details: Mega forms often have extra features like wings, crests, or markings. Color these carefully in contrasting colors to make them stand out.
- Energy effects: Add glowing energy effects in bright colors around the Pokemon to show the power of Mega Evolution.
- Shading for depth: Add a slightly darker shade in shadowed areas to give the detailed Mega designs a sense of depth and power.
- Bright backgrounds: A dramatic, energetic background helps capture the action-packed feel of a Mega Evolved Pokemon.
