Ever since Pokémon Legends: Z-A was announced, it has been a magnet for speculation, particularly around potential new Mega Evolutions. Among the whispers and rumors, one particular possibility has left fans wide-eyed in astonishment.
With each leak, the anticipation grows. Pokémon enthusiasts have dissected every announcement trailer, eagerly theorizing which Pokémon might be getting new Mega forms in Legends: Z-A. The latest leak has unleashed a list of potential candidates, peppered with both expected and unexpected entries. It’s wise to approach this list with a grain of salt, though, as the creators have officially confirmed the game’s release on the new Switch 2, but have remained tight-lipped about any Mega Evolutions. The leaked list includes fan-favorites like Dragonite, prominent Pokémon like the starter trio, and a wild suggestion involving Falinks. Yet, the most eyebrow-raising contender is the idea that AZ’s Eternal Flower Floette might evolve into a Mega form, making it the first middle-stage Pokémon to do so.
Eternal Flower Floette is in a league of its own, perched among 27 rumored Mega Evolutions for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Remarkably, it stands as the sole middle-stage Pokémon on the list. Even Pikachu, the beloved franchise mascot, hasn’t received a Mega form, typically seen as the realm of final evolutions. What’s key here is that not just any Floette, but specifically AZ’s Eternal Flower Floette, is rumored to unlock a Mega Evolution. In Pokémon X and Y, it’s clear that AZ’s Floette couldn’t evolve, hinting at its unique status as a final-stage powerhouse thanks to its link to the ultimate weapon’s energy.
The potential for Eternal Flower Floette to Mega Evolve sparks curiosity about its role in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Some fans speculate AZ might lend his cherished Pokémon to players, or perhaps they will face off against him in a key battle. Either scenario would enrich the narrative landscape of Legends: Z-A. There’s also speculation that other Mega Evolutions could be woven into gameplay, replacing certain ride Pokémon from Legends: Arceus.
Possible Mega Evolutions to replace ride Pokémon include:
– Mega Pyroar for swift movement
– Mega Excadrill for item excavation
– Mega Starmie for water traversal
– Mega Barbaracle for climbing
– Mega Skarmory for soaring the skies
The legacy of AZ and his Eternal Flower Floette already intrigues fans, but the notion of them wielding Megas heightens their narrative significance. AZ returns in Legends: Z-A, now running Hotel Z where players will lodge. Yet, these leaks suggest a much more pivotal role, hinting at layers of complexity beneath his serene demeanor. In Pokémon X and Y, AZ was portrayed as the immortal ruler of Kalos, a figure steeped in legend and mystery. Legends: Z-A offers an opportunity to reimagine and expand upon this unfinished storyline.
If AZ steps into the fray with his Mega-evolved Floette, it could mark a series-defining moment, tapping into unresolved story arcs from X and Y. As anticipation for Pokémon Legends: Z-A builds, the tale of AZ and his Eternal Flower Floette has a chance to finally find its closure, possibly shining a spotlight on all 27 of the rumored Mega Evolutions.
