Pokemon Legends: ZA Is just a week away from the launch, and while the trailers and its news cycle stopped a while ago, Datamine “season” has now officially begun, thanks to the game's preload in the Nintendo store and some copies in nature. Unlike leaks, which can be volatile if the sources are not reliable or things change internally before launch, dataaminating is mostly very precise because it takes information from the game code. At the time of the so -called teraleak all pointed to 26 new mega developments in Pokemon Legends: ZAwith Mega Zeraora to be the 27th and allegedly scrapped. Now, a reliable data tams named Kaphotics on Twitter, which has provided a lot of data about Pokemon Scarlet and VioletConfirmed that data for Mega Zeraora is in the game, and also for Mega Darkrai and Mega Heatran.
Zeraora and Darkrai are mythical Pokemon, while Heatran is a legendary from Genesis 4.
All the leaks for the game pointed to 26 Mega Evolutions It included no legendary or mythical other than mega zygarde, which makes sense as a mascot of Pokemon Legends: ZA. These are:
Of these, only 7 have been confirmed, and they are Mega Victreebel, Dragonite, Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, Malamar and Hawlucha. Since they perfectly match their leaked descriptions, it makes sense that these Pokémon will all be in the game. But nothing pointed to a Mega Evolution for Darkrai and Heatran From Teraleak, but Kaphotics Datamaming proves that they are real.
3 New Pokemon Legends: ZA Mega Evolutions are already clear
Kaphotics found data in the game for Pokemon Legends: ZA Mega stones that are dedicated to Heatran, Darkrai and Zeraora, which means that these items are there and are intended to be used by players. It is unclear if this will mean that the three mythical and legendary Pokemon will have a mega development in the base game.
This can happen via an event after launch, for example, or they can be capable in the base game or through events and then get a mega in DLC. Then Pokemon Legends: ZAMegad dimension DLC is already confirmed and available for pre -orders, with many mega stones teased in their trailer together with the confirmed Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y, it would make sense for these three iconic critics to get their mega development there.
How Pokemon Legends: Za's Mega Heatran, Darkrai and Zeraora could change
While Zeraora leaked months ago, Heatran and Darkrai are brand new, and there is no indication of how they can change in terms of types or appearance. As the only fire and steel pokemon in the franchise, Heatran is basically guaranteed to keep its original type combination. Then Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Added Electric/Fighting Pokemon in the form of Pawmot -Line and Iron Hands, a Plza Mega Zeraora would make sense as an electrical/combat scrap.
Last but not least, Darkrai is one of the most popular Pokemon in total, so even if it does not get a type change, its mega will probably be a big one. Since it has legs even though its most common form does not show them, they can be used as another element in mega development. 4 Pokemon in Legends: ZA Get a new type when mega develops, so it would make sense to see more of these, but Darkrai will probably retain its dark type. The only critters with a new type combination are:
- Mega split: Fairy/Flying – Previous Fairy
- Mega Meganium: Grass/moose – previous grass
- Mega Feraligatr: Water/dragon – past water
- Mega Barbaracles: Stone/battles – former stone/water
At the moment fans have to wait and see, as even those players with early copies of Pokemon Legends: ZA Will probably have no access to Heatran, Darkrai and Zeraora's mega development yet. Still, they will be there in some way, and they may well be quite powerful.
