As buzz surrounds Pokémon Legends: Z-A, fans are eagerly analyzing leaks hinting at possible new Mega Evolutions. While many of the rumored Pokémon expected to receive Megas aren’t too surprising, one in particular has caught the attention of seasoned fans for its unexpected inclusion.
Ever since Pokémon Legends: Z-A was first teased, players have been speculating about which Pokémon might gain new Mega Evolutions. Now, some possible insights have surfaced, generating a lot of excitement. A leaked list of potential new Mega Evolutions has circulated online, featuring some surprising picks that have got fans talking. However, it’s crucial to approach this with caution. The latest official announcements only confirmed the game’s arrival on the Switch 2, with no word on Mega Evolutions. Standouts from this list include beloved Pokémon like Dragonite, the starter trio deeply tied to the storyline, and a few unexpected choices like Falinks. But the most striking rumor is that AZ’s Eternal Flower Floette might be granted a Mega form, making it unique as a middle-stage evolution receiving such an enhancement.
Why Eternal Flower Floette Deserves a Mega Evolution
The purported list of 27 leaked Mega Evolutions coming to Pokémon Legends: Z-A includes Eternal Flower Floette, making a notable exception within the series. Despite other leaked Pokémon on the list, Floette is the only middle-stage evolution considered worthy of a Mega Evolution. Not even Pikachu, the series’ icon, has a Mega form, reinforcing the belief that only fully-evolved Pokémon could manage such a power surge. However, what sets Eternal Flower Floette apart is that it’s the only Floette rumored to gain this transformation. According to Pokémon X and Y lore, AZ’s partner Floette hasn’t evolved due to its eternal state, mirroring AZ’s own agelessness. The eternal energy it absorbed from the ultimate weapon is thought to elevate its power significantly beyond any regular middle-stage Floette.
The Leaked Mega Evolutions Might Hint at What’s to Come
Given that Eternal Flower Floette is poised to Mega Evolve, it’s logical to anticipate it playing a role in a future battle in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Some speculate that AZ might loan this powerful companion to players, although there is also the possibility of it being an adversary. Either scenario offers an enticing glimpse into the potential narrative direction of Legends: Z-A. Similarly, other leaked Mega Evolution candidates might even replace the ride Pokémon from Legends: Arceus.
Envisioned replacements for ride Pokémon include:
- Mega Pyroar for speedy travel
- Mega Excadrill aiding item discovery
- Mega Starmie for water navigation
- Mega Barbaracle facilitating climbs
- Mega Skarmory providing aerial transport
Players are already curious about AZ’s and his Floette’s involvement in the storyline, with the leaked Mega Eternal Flower Floette heightening their significance. Confirmed details reveal AZ now oversees Hotel Z, where players will reside during the adventure. Yet, if these leaks have substance, they suggest AZ’s role is pivotal beyond expectations. In X and Y, AZ was depicted as the ancient monarch of Kalos—an ageless giant. His new persona as a hotelier doesn’t align with these grandiose memories, but perhaps it’s all just a façade.
Should AZ and his enhanced Floette engage in combat, it could form one of the game’s defining moments. This would be a prime way for Pokémon Legends: Z-A to harness unused story arcs from X and Y. The narrative of AZ and his Eternal Flower Floette never got a satisfying closure previously, but they now face an invaluable opportunity for redemption. Pokémon Legends: Z-A heralds a chance for not just these two to shine anew, but also for the community to celebrate all 27 leaked Mega Pokémon with newfound appreciation.
