Rumor: Pokemon Legends: Z-A has 27 new Mega Evolutions, first ones leaked [update: full list]
March 24: Mega Evolutions are back in Pokemon Legends: Z-A after a hiatus, and based on a new rumor, it seems that Game Freak is adding a bunch of introducing a bunch of new ones.
According to Pyoro – yes, that Pyoro who used to leak a ton of Nintendo Direct news – the game will feature 27 new Mega Evolutions. Technically, that number was not given directly. Fans noticed that Pyoro told one person on social media to look at the upper left corner of their keyboard, which is ASCII Code 27.
Adding on to that, Universo Nintendo claims to have insight into a few of them. We’ll mention them below, so keep that in mind before proceeding further.
Victreebel, Starmie, Chandelure, and Excadrill are all apparently set to receive new Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Of course, that’s just a small subset of other creatures that would be getting the same treatment. Note that there have been no official announcements at this time.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to launch on Nintendo Switch later in the year. We’re keeping track of all Pokemon confirmed for the game here.
March 26: The full list has now apparently leaked. Mega Zeraora was seemingly planned at one point, but is no longer happening – at least for now. That means the list stands at 26.
