-Mega Tyranitar, which takes Larvitar's horn, its red belly, and whose body shape, not to mention its limbs, is reminiscent of Pupitar.
-Mega Metagross, which looks like a fusion between Metang and Metagross, with more arms. It also has a spike under its face, a bit like Metang's nose.
-Mega Ampharos, which grows wool like its pre-evolutions.
-Mega Mewtwo Y, which tries to become physically closer to Mew.
-Mega Salamence, which is like its ancestor Roaring Moon.
-Mega Aerodactyl, which is the form Aerodactyl had when it was alive, before being fossilized and seeing its DNA degrade over the centuries.
There's nothing shocking about this; this mechanic is based on life energy and genetics. So there's nothing shocking about inheriting certain traits from a Pokémon that's genetically related, or that is at a lower stage of evolution (growth).
What makes Dragonite and Raichu relevant is just that it used to be more subtle or they didn't explicitly state it.
