Gonna be honest, I’ve got a real soft spot for these Pokemon events, and the July 2025 Pokemon Presents today didn’t disappoint, even if it was just a quick 24-minute thing. So, here’s the deal — Pokemon Legends: Z-A was the highlight of the show. I mean, seriously, it was like a spotlight was just glued to it the whole time. And it kinda had to be. The game’s dropping in just under three months, but before today, we’d mostly been sifting through leaks and these tiny teaser trailers.
Now, here’s where it gets spicy: rogue Mega Evolutions in Lumiose City and a signature battle royale. Wild, right? But while they only teased Mega Dragonite — which is like, duh, the fan favorite from Gen 1 that everyone’s been pestering about for years — there are apparently a whopping 25 more Mega Evolutions sneaking around in the trailer. I didn’t spot them, but hey, that’s what rewind buttons are for.
Mega Dragonite, though… they played it safe. It’s still rocking that Dragon/Flying type, but now with wings where you’d least expect, and there’s this orb on its tail that kinda echoes Dragonair. And yep, those leaks? Nailed it. Almost as if the leakers had this secret walkthrough guide.
Anyway, Mega Dragonite looks exactly how the leaks described, to the point people were drawing it weeks ago, and those drawings are eerily close. Fans, I swear, have some kind of Pokemon sixth sense. So, what does this mean? Pretty much all the Mega Evolutions from the leaks — which include some surprising Pokémon — are probably on the nose, too. Which ones? Well, names like Chandelure and those Gen 6 starters pop up.
Now, here’s a twist that’s likely not gonna sit well with everyone — no Mega Flygon in PLZA. Yeah, I know, right? After all the clamoring? It was supposed to happen, then – poof – scrapped. Flygon isn’t the only one. Mega Zeraora also took the hit. It all went down the drain before they even got the ball rolling.
So, unless they threw in some last-minute curveballs, we’re looking at 26 new Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. But, you know, leaks are a funny thing — volatile beasts. Still, with Mega Dragonite spot on, there’s not much wiggle room for doubters. Keep your hopes up but don’t set anything in stone, fans. This rollercoaster ride isn’t over yet.
