Pokemon Legends: Z-A ROM leaked online

Leaks for Pokemon Legends: Z-A are about to go into overdrive as the ROM is now circulating online. This is for the Nintendo Switch 1 version.

The leak comes four days ahead of the official launch. If you’re particularly sensitive to spoilers and plan on playing the game, you may want to avoid certain places online. There will be new Mega Evolutions (including some which haven’t been officially revealed yet) and much of the plot has remained a mystery up to this point.

As some fans are likely aware, leaks surrounding Pokemon Legends: Z-A had already began before the ROM was posted online. It looks like at least one person managed to get an early copy and started sharing early findings over the weekend.

It’s pretty much expected at this point that high-profile Nintendo-published releases will have their ROMs making their way online before launch – at least for Switch 1 titles. We have seen various examples of that happening the years. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition was one such example from earlier in the year.

Fans will officially be able to pick up Pokemon Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch on October 16, 2025. In case you missed it, images of some new Mega Evolutions can be found here.
