In fact, we are only 72 hours away from the RPG\u2019s release date, and there still isn\u2019t any official marketing showing off Meganium, Emboar, and Feraligatr\u2019s new designs. The wait is finally over, though, as players who got the game early <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniteVids\/status\/1977726067679887523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">have leaked<\/a> the PLZA Mega Starters on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Mega Meganium has giant bands of colored flowers that wrap around its neck. It almost looks like a fur collar. Mega Emboar, on the other hand, looks like a fierce warrior emperor. Its hair is now in the shape of a crown, and it holds a giant fire spear in its hand. Although lowkey, it kind of looks like a big piece of bacon. Finally, Mega Feraligatr has a massive red helmet on its head that closes down on top of its spiked arms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pokemon-legends-z-a-mega-starters-leaked.jpg\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starters Leaked\" class=\"wp-image-1917214\"  \/>Screenshot: X @CentroLeaks, @UniteVids<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Mega Feraligatr\u2019s helmet flips up for most of the battle, which has many fans comparing him to a toilet seat. I have to say, the design is pretty goofy. Interestingly, these latest screenshots confirmed that the designs of the Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starters actually leaked back in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starters Stats Leaked<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/plza-starter-mega-evolutions-stats-leak.jpg\" alt=\"PLZA Starter Mega Evolutions Stats Leak\" class=\"wp-image-1917215\"  \/>Screenshot: X @Slowflake1601, R_N<\/p>\n<p>The new models aren\u2019t the only thing that leaked, as the stats of the Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Starters\u2019 Mega Evolutions were also datamined. <\/p>\n<p>On X, leakers posted movesets and power breakdowns of Mega Meganium, Mega Emboar, and Mega Feraligatr. While I know not everyone is into the game\u2019s battle meta, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Slowflake1601\/status\/1977434219820294622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the new stats<\/a> are interesting, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>At a glance, Mega Feraligatr is the strongest out of the bunch with a staggering 160 Atk buff. However, if you take into account all stat increases, Mega Emboar seems to be the most balanced of the PLZA Starter trio, as it got a substantial increase to all five of its stats.<\/p>\n<p>For your convenience, here are the Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starters\u2019 stats:<\/p>\n<p>Mega Meganium \u2013 HP: 80, Atk: 92, Def: 115, Sp. Atk: 143, Sp. Def: 115, Speed: 80<\/p>\n<p>Mega Feraligatr \u2013 HP: 85, Atk: 160, Def: 125, Sp. Atk: 89, Sp. Def: 93, Speed: 78<\/p>\n<p>Mega Emboar \u2013 HP: 110, Atk: 148, Def: 75, Sp. Atk: 110, Sp. Def: 110, Speed: 75<\/p>\n<p>Who Is the Best Starter in Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"526\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/plza-mega-pokemon-trailer.jpg\" alt=\"PLZA Mega Pok\u00e9mon Trailer\" class=\"wp-image-1917216\"  \/>Screenshot: The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/p>\n<p>As far as which Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starter is the best, that is still up in the air. Because PLZA doesn\u2019t have a gym system, we don\u2019t know which typing has an advantage. Although early previews of the game have revealed that Poison status effects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/pokemon-legends-z-a-players-already-broke-the-game-and-its-not-even-out-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">are absolutely broken<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you apply Poison status to an NPC and get knocked out, you can purposely wait 30 seconds to swap to your next Pok\u00e9mon while your opponent\u2019s health slowly ticks down. The Poison-type method can be used to cheese the game. So if you plan on doing that, Mega Meganium has access to some Poison-type moves. I\u2019m personally going to go with the lord of bacon himself, Mega Emboar. But that\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With only a few days left until launch, the Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A Mega Starters have finally been leaked&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,101637,103196,874,103197,10755,20056,10756,103198,103199,103200,13796,103201,27067,61,13803,560],"class_list":["post-212463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-game-freak","tag-game-leaks","tag-gaming","tag-mega-evolutions","tag-nintendo","tag-nintendo-switch","tag-nintendo-switch-2","tag-plza","tag-pokemon-leaks","tag-pokemon-legends","tag-pokemon-legends-z-a","tag-pokemon-mega-evolutions","tag-switch-2","tag-technology","tag-the-pokemon-company","tag-waypoint"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
