Now, every monster that can undergo one of these superpowered transformations can do so in the RPG, including ones that were omitted from the original roster. However, there is one of these evolutions that is still missing from the game; you just might not know about it if you haven\u2019t been paying attention to the leaks and datamining communities.<\/p>\n<p>Mega Dimension introduces Z forms for two Pok\u00e9mon who were already able to Mega Evolve. <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/pokemon-legends-za-mega-dimension-evolution-lucario-z-2000649602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lucario<\/a> and Absol have had standard Megas since the mechanic was introduced in X and Y, and the DLC adds new ones that change their appearance and give them a special mechanic that lets them speed up their cooldowns at the expense of a prolonged transformation. It seemed odd that Game Freak would create a whole new mechanic for only two monsters, so perhaps it\u2019s not surprising that a third one is in the game\u2019s code, but isn\u2019t obtainable in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Garchomp is apparently the third Z form in Legends: Z-A, but at the moment, the only traces of it are in datamined models. Fans hypothesize that Game Freak is planning on giving players a new Mega Stone to transform their own dragon\/ground beasts into this new form in <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/pokemon-legends-za-mewtwo-mega-evolution-stones-quest-2000649609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an upcoming event<\/a>. Despite this, dataminers have unearthed the new form\u2019s model, which you can see below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Mega Garchomp Z <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iPy8aHPHD8\">pic.twitter.com\/iPy8aHPHD8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Centro LEAKS (@CentroLeaks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CentroLeaks\/status\/1998838515866431571?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I knew about Garchomp Z from <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/pokemon-legends-za-mega-dimension-dlc-new-evolutions-2000641670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous leaks<\/a>, and was surprised I hadn\u2019t seen it after putting over a dozen hours into Mega Dimension thus far. I\u2019ve faced new Megas for Legendary and Mythical monsters already, and I know Garchomp is a ferocious beast, but it doesn\u2019t seem like something you\u2019d turn into an endgame battle after players have faced the final boss, so this explanation makes some sense.
