Summary

  • An image of Mega Starmie in Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been leaked, showing a familar design with longer legs.
  • Pokemon Legends: Z-A is said to be introducing 27 new Mega Evolutions, including starter Pokemon like Mega Meganium.

Leakers have recently revealed an alleged in-game image of Mega Starmie, one of the Mega Evolutions available in the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Pokemon Legends: Z-A still does not have an official release date, but the new game is expected sometime in 2025, and it’s set to bring some interesting Mega Evolutions for classic critters such as Starmie.

Starmie is a Water/Psychic-type creature originally introduced in Gen 1, evolving from Staryu after the trainer uses a Water Stone. The classic Pokemon, which is used by Misty in the franchise’s TV show, was leaked as one of the upcoming Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Since then, fans have been curious to discover more about this new take on the aquatic monster.

Now, Centro Leaks has revealed an image of the upcoming Mega Starmie. The image, which is almost completely blue, and likely depicts the critter underwater, shows that Starmie will not change much in the new form, as the critter will only have longer legs than usual, instead of getting a more unique overhaul. While leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, the new image was confirmed by Centro Leaks to be real, and it’s consistent with the previous reports of the new Mega Evolution having its “legs become much longer so that it can run around.”

Pokemon Legends: Z-A's Mega Starmie Leaked

In another earlier leak, it was revealed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A will have 27 new Mega Evolutions. Apart from Starmie, some popular monsters like Victreebel, Dragonite, Meganium, Feraligatr, Emboar, Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, and others were also confirmed to have Mega Evolutions in the upcoming title.

While there are not many leaked images of upcoming creatures that will be featured in the game, previous reports have highlighted leaks of the Mega Evolutions for the three Pokemon Legends: Z-A starters. According to the leaks, Mega Meganium will have four colorful flowers around its neck, while Mega Emboar will have a design inspired by ancient Chinese soldiers with a spear made of fire. Mega Feraligatr, on the other hand, will have big red spikes on its arm and back, as well as a body part that resembles a helmet.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be the first entry in the popular franchise to be released for the Switch 2, an important time for Nintendo fans. Hopefully, Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be one of the best Pokemon games ever released, as it still seems like fans will have to wait a while for the official start of Gen 10.
