A leaked image circulating online may have just revealed our first look at Mega Feraligatr in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The image, which originated on 4chan before being shared widely on Reddit, has stirred major excitement among fans eager to see the return of Mega Evolution — a concept first introduced in Pokémon X and Y.
Kalos Region and the Return of Mega Evolution
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be set in the Kalos region, inspired by central and northern France. This iconic setting was first introduced in Pokémon X and Y in 2013 — the same games that debuted Mega Evolutions. With the Legends series revisiting past regions through a fresh narrative lens, many fans believe Nintendo is drawing directly from Kalos’ Mega Evolution heritage in this upcoming title.
Adding fuel to the speculation, known leaker CetroLeaks revealed in late March that 27 new Mega Evolutions are planned for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. While none of these have been confirmed by Nintendo, the buzz has only grown stronger — especially with this latest visual leak.
The Leaked Mega Feraligatr Image
The newly surfaced image appears to show a portion of Mega Feraligatr, the Mega Evolved form of Totodile’s final evolution from the Johto region. Feraligatr is confirmed to be one of the starters in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, making this leak even more plausible.

In the image, Mega Feraligatr is shown with closed eyes and an open jaw, baring its familiar blue and yellow color scheme, pear-shaped body, and chevron belly pattern. Fans also noted the red dorsal spikes from its base form — now enhanced with additional red spikes and what looks like a red, skull-like helmet, giving it a fiercer, more primal appearance.
Fan Theories and Speculation
Community reactions have been fast and passionate. Some believe the design hints at Kalos’ ancient lore or ties to Zygarde, the region’s legendary guardian. Others are simply thrilled that a Johto starter is potentially getting a Mega Evolution that matches its Gen II legacy.
What’s Next?
While no official confirmation has been made by Nintendo or Game Freak, the timing of this leak — following a wave of Mega Evolution rumors — suggests a reveal may be coming soon, perhaps during a Pokémon Presents update or E3-like showcase.
Until then, it’s wise to treat this image as a rumor, albeit an exciting one. If it turns out to be legit, Mega Feraligatr could lead the charge in bringing back one of Pokémon’s most beloved mechanics.
