A Rumored Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution May Still Live On

by

In October 2024, Game Freak, the company behind the *Pokemon* series, suffered a significant data breach. Nearly 1 terabyte of internal data was leaked online, exposing the personal information of over 2,000 employees. The leaked data also included confidential files related to *Pokemon* projects, including seemingly, *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*. This massive leak, later dubbed the “Teraleak,” contained source code, concept art, and design documents for games released over the past 25 years. While devastating for Game Freak’s developers, the breach provided fans with a glimpse into the company’s plans, particularly for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*.

The recent Teraleak revealed some unused designs for Mega Evolutions, including one for the Pokémon Zeraora, which came as a surprise to many. With Game Freak confirming Mega Evolutions would return in *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, fans anticipated Zeraora might be included. However, as the game’s release date approaches, there’s been no official announcement about Mega Zeraora. Despite this, fans are still hopeful that Game Freak might add it to the game in a future update.

Okay, so if Mega Zeraora *really* happens, Zeraora would be one of the only Mythical Pokémon that can actually Mega Evolve. That’s pretty huge, considering how rare Mythicals are!

Game Freak Could Add Mega Zeraora to Pokemon Legends: Z-A in a Future Expansion

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is Getting a Paid DLC Called Mega Dimension Next Year

Similar to other recent *Pokémon* games, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* will receive a large paid expansion soon after its release. Called Mega Dimension, the expansion was announced by Game Freak during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation. Game Freak says Mega Dimension will add several hours of new single-player story content to *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*. The expansion focuses on Team MZ and the legendary Pokémon Hoopa, and it will also introduce two new Mega Evolutions for Raichu: Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

The Mega Dimension Reveal Trailer Contains a Potential Tease for New Mega Evolutions

Okay, so Game Freak gave us a quick peek at what’s coming in the Mega Dimension DLC, but I think there’s a lot more they’re not telling us! In the trailer, I noticed a bunch of Mega Stones flashing by, and two of them were definitely for Mega Raichu X and Y. But here’s the crazy part: there were *fourteen* other Mega Stones that I’ve never seen before! That makes me think we’re getting a total of sixteen new Mega Evolutions in this DLC – ones you absolutely won’t find in the original game. I’m so hyped!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A May Get a Second Big Expansion in the Future

There’s speculation about how Mega Zeraora might become available in the game. It could be part of the upcoming Mega Dimension expansion, or released in a separate downloadable content pack. A leaker named Coreygaming05 suggested that *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* will get two DLCs. While the second DLC might be smaller, it’s possible Game Freak will release another large, paid expansion for the game in the future.

Game Freak Will Likely Add Several Mega Evolutions to Pokemon Legends: Z-A After Its Launch

Most recent main Pokémon games, excluding *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*, have received two paid expansions after they were released. *Pokémon Sword and Shield* had the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra, and *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet* got the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. If the upcoming *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* follows this trend, Game Freak might add more Mega Evolutions, potentially including Mega Zeraora, to the game after it launches.
