What these mega evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A look like, the rumor does not divulge. There is no accompanying media or even text descriptions of the work. That said, remember to take this information with a grain of salt. As noted above, the rumor has yet to be confirmed or debunked, but the source — an anonymous leaker — is a bit dubious.
At the moment of publishing, the rumor has not drawn out Game Freak nor Nintendo for comment. The pair rarely comment on rumors, but if they buck expectation and do say something, the story will be updated accordingly.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A was announced back in February of this year and is currently slated to release on Nintendo Switch in 2025. It has also been rumored to release on Nintendo Switch 2, which itself is expected to release sometime in 2025.
