Pokemon Legends Z-A latest leaks: The starters

Pokemon Legends Z-A’s starter trio has already been officially revealed. The selection for this Legends title will be Gen 2 Chikorita, Totodile, and Gen 5 Tepig. While that is the only extent of information we are provided with, speculations and leaks allow us to talk deeply about their final evolutions.

Because the previous Legends game gave us new regional variants of their starter trio, fans speculate about Chikorita, Totodile, and Tepig getting them as well. But on the other hand, and more interestingly, because Mega Evolution is returning to this game, some leaks have shown Mega Meganium, Mega Feraligatr and Mega Emboar.

Although these leaks could just be fan-mades and narrated in a way to believe they are leaks, it is still an interesting direction that the Pokemon Company can take the game in.

Pokemon Legends Z-A latest leaks: Mega Evolutions

One of the most thrilling leaks is the return of Mega Evolution, a beloved mechanic that enhances a Pokemon’s abilities and appearance during battles. The next Pokemon Presents is rumored to showcase Mega Evolutions for Nidoking and Nidoqueen, with a dramatic split-screen battle featuring the male and female duo mega-evolving.

However, the trailer will leave fans on a tantalizing cliffhanger, revealing only the Pokemon’s cries before cutting to black.

Another highlight is the much-anticipated Mega Flygon, a Pokemon fans have long hoped to see in Mega form. Mega Flygon’s design takes inspiration from a dragonfly, featuring four wings and a longer tail.

Its ability, Sand Blaster, could be a game-changer: it is rumored to automatically lower opponents’ accuracy by two stages each turn and damage new Pokemon entering the battle, creating a dynamic sandstorm effect that lasts until Mega Flygon faints or switches out.

Doublade Evolution: Trepiers

• Type: Steel/Ghost
• Design: A three-bladed Pokemon with a creepy face-like hilt and dark green cloth. Its new ability, Musketeer, boosts all slashing moves by 50%, making it a formidable offensive threat.
