Mega Dragalge leaked for the upcoming Pokemon Legends Z-A

Based on a post by Twitter user @pory_leeks, a new Mega Evolution of Dragalge has reportedly been leaked. The subject model seems to have been deliberately modified to eliminate the game's in-world environmental features, perhaps to camouflage its source.

Of special note, its eyes have been cut out or edited away — an odd and puzzling detail that has caused skepticism among fans going through the leak.

Aside from the mysterious change, the model itself does look real. The leaked rendering of Mega Dragalge is said to be a match and has sparked speculations that the model is real and perhaps taken from a dev build of Pokemon Legends Z-A.

The timing of this leak is also of interest because Pokemon Legends Z-A has officially been announced but with extremely limited information made available to the public, especially regarding any new Mega Evolutions.

If true, this would mean the devs are really looking at Pokemon that have needed another evolution, or Mega Evolution, for generations.

As always, it's important to approach leaks with caution until official confirmations are made. However, the reputation of the leaker and the model’s consistency with previously surfaced assets have given this particular leak more credibility than most.

With the game's premise set in futuristic Lumiose City, the increase of Mega Evolutions' roster might be connected to both competitive play and story themes. Until then, fans will just have to wait for Pokemon Presents or another official announcement to find out if these rumors are true.
