A new won't feature any new Pokémon species. Many of these leakers have somewhat of a track record, although nothing has been officially confirmed. Now, a new leak has details about some of these alleged new Mega Evolution, with one form freaking out fans.
Several weeks ago, a post making claims about several Mega Evolutions laid out details about several new forms. Centro Leaks insisted on X that these leaks are accurate. According to the post, Mega Starmie is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon and has elongated appendages that allow it to walk on the ground. On Reddit, Pokémon fans reacted with horror, with u/Merphee stating that "Starmie with longer legs is pure nightmare fuel." Other s pointed out that the design is likely based on a brittle star, a type of starfish with much longer appendages than other echinoderms species.

New Pokémon Legends Trailer Shows Off Z-A Royale Battles Alongside New Look At Mega Evolutions
A new Pokémon Legends: Z-A trailer showed off a new look at the Z-A Royale Battles that will be at the heart of the new Pokémon game.
According to more recent leaks, Mega Chesnaught's armored form will gain shields and a crown. Mega Delphox becomes more witch-like, with its wand becoming a broom that the Pokémon stands on. Greninja's Ash-Greninja form won't be making a comeback. Instead, the Pokémon will hang upside down from a large shuriken made of water with a darker complexion than before. As with any leak, take these with a grain of salt until they're actually revealed by Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokémon Company.
Our Take: Starmie's Leaked Mega Evolution Is Horrifying And We Love It
The Pokémon Franchise Is At Its Best When It Gets Weird
My personal belief is that the Pokémon series is at its best when it gets very weird. Thus, Mega Starmie seems like it was made specifically to cater to my interests. I really hope that this Mega Starmie leak is true, so I can terrorize my opponents with an elongated version of a long overlooked Pokémon. The other leaks also seem to indicate some really solid design choices, giving me more hope that Mega Evolution in Pokémon Legends: Z-A won't be a dud.
