The Chinese Pokémon Company account leaked the new Mega Victreebel evolution from Pokémon Legends Z-A early online. The accidental leak happened a day before the new PLZA Pokémon forme was supposed to be unveiled in a trailer.
Mega Victreebel Leaked Early Before PLZA Trailer
Over the last week, the Pokémon Company has been teasing a new trailer with a series of creepy images. The photos were first posted on August 19 and showed a dark room filled with purple paint splatters. Seriously, the photos were giving legit Resident Evil vibes. However, the surprise behind the photos was ruined when The Pokémon Company accidentally leaked what Mega Evolution was going to be revealed during the August 21 trailer.
“There have been rumors about a mysteriously sweet scent coming from a certain building. Check out this found footage exploring the building’s darkened halls, parts of which seem to have been melted. What truths about Mega Victreebel and its Trainer will spill out by the end?” Oops! The description was quickly taken down; however, that didn’t stop Pokémon fans from taking screenshots of the YouTube page’s description.
So yeah, it appears the new Mega Evolution being revealed today will be for Mega Victreebel. This information won’t be too surprising to hardcore Poké fans, as the Pokémon forme was actually leaked over a year ago. Although this is the first time we are getting our first confirmation and looking at the Gen 1 Grass-type’s new design in Pokémon Legends Z-A.
All New Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends Z-A
Not a lot is known about the new Mega Victreebel. However, according to leaks going back to 2024, the Pokémon is said to look like a giant sack with a vine/rope tied around the top of it. So it’s basically Victreebel, but his mouth at the top is now tied shut. Its body is also said to look a lot more round.
With Mega Victreebel seemingly proving the Pokémon Legends Z-A leaks were real all along, we now have a pretty good idea of what other new Mega’s are in the game.
