With just over two weeks to go until the release of Pokemon Legends: ZAHype for all possible remaining mega developments is through the roof, although Nintendo did the right of fans with its exhibition of Mega Chenaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja. More mega developments for Gen 6 -Critts were more than eligible, and it would have been a crime not to give one to the starters from Pokemon x and y After the relapse from the fans all these years ago. Pokemon Legends: ZALeaked mega developments are in principle confirmed and have been since Mega Dragonite reveals, but as usual, Pokemon Company has not revealed the mega development for the three starters.
This is a trend that has been going on for several years now, and the latest games in the franchis, such as Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, also held new forms or the final development for starting a secret before launch.
Given that the game is reportedly not containing any new critters or shapes, it is nice to see some love for Chikorita, Totodile and Tepig as the starters in Pokemon Legends: ZAAlthough their megas remain half mystery for now. There are descriptions of PlzaMega Feraligatr and Meganium Online, where the latter is partly shown in a blurred screenshot, and they both get a new type in the process. Mega Emboar is not in the same boat, and it can be a bit disappointing.
Pokemon Legends: Za's Mega Emboar can be a mixed bag
Based on the leaks, all of which have proven to be correct so far, Mega Meganium grass/moose, Mega Feraligatr is water/dragon, and Mega Emboar is fire/fighters. This is exactly the same type for the usual Emboar, and it does not make the critic many benefit because it is mostly super -efficient against types that are among the weakest in the series.

Strong against: normal, stone, bug, steel, grass, ice, dark (2x) Weak towards: n/a |
The following is that although it has decent defensive capacities, Mega Emboar does not really pack a punch offensive with its staff Pokemon movements, because types such as normal, rock, bug, grass and ice are already among the weakest in the series. A new type may have benefited the Gen 5 -craft more, but it does not seem to be in the cards for it.
Plzas Mega Emboar has a dazzling weakness feraligatr and meganium not
Pokemon Legends: ZAMega Emboar is said to be quite similar to the original, with a little more armor on the body and more detailed flames around the head, with the final design similar to a Chinese warrior. It also has a spear made entirely of fire, based on Centro Leak's description, which is undoubtedly a very cool addition.
However, Mega Emboar can literally bring a stick to a gun fight because of the leaked Mega Zygard, who not only counts Emboar with its types and has much better statistics, but it also has a massive weapon similar to a rocket or possibly a core missile. Given that Pokemon Legends: ZAMega Zygarde is likely to play a role in the story, Mega Emboar may not be the best chalk to handle it, while both Mega Feraligatr and Mega Meganium can deal 2x damage to it.
