A new leak has stirred up the Pokémon community this week, revealing a list of 26 alleged Mega Evolutions that may be present in Pokémon Legends: ZA . The game, which still has no official release date, is set in the Kalos region and promises to revive one of players' most beloved mechanics: Mega Evolutions, originally introduced in Generation VI. Lumiose City, a symbol of the X and Y eras, also makes an appearance, reinforcing the nostalgic connection that the new title aims to explore.

According to information from the specialized profile Centro Leaks, known for frequently anticipating new developments in the franchise, the highlight of the list is the presence of new forms for monsters from different generations.
The Kalos region leads the way with ten new representatives, including the three starters—Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja. This choice reinforces the central role of the setting in the game's premise, reinforcing the plot and battle system.
Regional diversity shapes choices and raises hypotheses about metagame balance
Besides Kalos, the Unova region boasts six evolutions, including Mega Chandelure and Mega Excadrill. Kanto, the birthplace of the franchise, contributes four—Mega Dragonite and Mega Victreebell being the most prominent.
Johto, Sinnoh, Alola, and Galar also appear on the list, albeit less prominently. The presence of Mega Froslass, Mega Drampa, and Mega Falinks suggests a desire to maintain variety in combat types and styles, signaling a possible restructuring of the competitive metagame.
However, despite the positive response, the absence of names like Milotic, Flygon, and Togekiss did not go unnoticed. Flygon, in particular, returned to the center of fan debate, having been speculated about a Mega Evolution in Generation VI, but which never materialized. Thus, the exclusion of Pokémon from the Hoenn region, considered a favorite by a significant portion of the player base, also generated criticism on social media.
Unconfirmed leak sparks debate among fans and keeps final content a mystery
The list hasn't yet been confirmed by The Pokémon Company, keeping the content purely rumored. However, the leaker's track record of success reinforces the credibility of the leaked material. On the other hand, the immediate impact of the content demonstrates how much the return of Mega Evolutions excites fans, who see the mechanic as a strategic and visual differentiator.
Among the highlights listed are familiar names and some unexpected ones. Mega Zygarde, Mega Eternal Flower Floette, and Mega Malamar reinforce the connection to more complex plots of the Kalos region. However, Mega Scrafty, Mega Barbaracle, and Mega Hawlucha indicate a broader look at the available types and their applications in battles. Thus, the balance between offensive power and defensive tactics seems to be one of the new game's main focuses.
