It looks like Mega and Alpha Pokémon are back in Gen 9 after leaks reveal their presence in the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A game.
Centro LEAKS, a prominent X account that regularly shares leaks about the Pokémon franchise, announced on April 19 that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will feature missions involving Rogue Mega Pokémon, as well as Alpha Pokémon that already made its debut in the previous Pokémon Legends game.
WhileCentro LEAKSgave no more details about Rogue Mega Pokémon, it made the community speculate as to how it will work out in the game.
With the word “Rogue” in its name, this new variant of Mega Pokémon will likely be Trainerless, which might contradict our original understanding that Mega Evolution only works if a compatible Pokémon establishes a bond with its Trainer, who in turn must possess a Key Stone and a Mega Stone.
The return of Alpha Pokémon, on the other hand, isn’t that much of a surprise, considering that Z-A is another Pokémon Legends game. These Pokémon, as already seen on Pokémon Legends: Arceus, are larger and stronger versions of regular Pokémon with red, glowing eyes and become highly aggressive if someone enters their territory.
