Will Pokemon Legends: Z-A Have Alpha Pokemon?

Possible Alpha Icon Seen on Official Map

The official map of Legends Z-A includes various symbols that could indicate points of interest.

One of these symbols resembles the Alpha Mark in Legends Arceus, implying the possible return of these stronger versions of non-Legendary Pokemon and designated areas for them.

It's also possible that Alpha Pokemon may have connections to the returning Mega Evolution mechanic.

With Mega Evolutions confirmed in Pokemon Presents 2025, it is a possibility that they are two completely different mechanics, as all evolution stages are capable of being an Alpha Pokemon while Mega Evolutions are exclusive to the last evolution stage.

What are Alpha Pokemon?

Larger and More Aggressive Pokemon

Alpha Pokemon were first introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, with many field Pokemon having a chance to spawn as an Alpha. These Pokemon are larger and more aggressive, but otherwise have the same stats and Abilities are regular Pokemon.

It's possible to transfer Alpha Pokemon to more recent games such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, where they will become the largest size possible for that Pokemon and receive the Alpha Mark indicating that they were a former Alpha Pokemon.
