Summary
- Mega Clefable concept art created by a fan artist based on leaks from Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
- Clefable, now a Fairy-type, did not have a Mega Evolution in past generations.
- Mega Clefable’s design includes extended wings, a new ear shape, and a Fairy/Flying dual-type.
After looking through some Pokemon Legends: Z-A leaks concerning Mega Evolution forms, a fan artist designed what they believe Mega Clefable could look like in the upcoming game. The Pokemon Legends: Z-A fan art concept was posted on social media, as the artist crafted Mega Clefable in two different styles.
Known as the Fairy Pokemon, Clefable first appeared in Pokemon Red and Blue. Clefable evolves from Clefairy when exposed to a Moon Stone, which enhances its special attack, special defense, and HP stats further. Clefable was considered a Normal-type critter for the first five Pokemon game generations but was reclassified as a Fairy-type starting in Pokemon X and Y. With the type change to Fairy, Clefable can use moves like Moonblast, Life Dew, and Draining Kiss to support its teammates and fend off Dark, Dragon, and Fighting Pokemon. However, Clefable was not granted a Mega Evolution form in the sixth Pokemon generation.

Latest Pokemon Legends: Z-A Trailer May Have Revealed Protagonists’ Official Names
One easily overlooked detail in the latest Pokemon Legends: Z-A trailer seems to confirm the next protagonists’ official names.
After some information about new Mega Evolution forms coming to Pokemon Legends: Z-A was leaked on social media, a Pokemon trainer set to work with a Mega Clefable concept. On the r/LegendsZA subreddit, Pokemon fan artist HertzBurst revealed their take on what Mega Clefable could look like. Clefable’s wings were extended wide upon Mega Evolving, with yellow and green portions located in the middle and bottom segments, respectively. Clefable’s ears were changed to be more square, and the swirling pattern atop its head became more pronounced. HertzBurst stated that the curl was based on the leak’s description of a “Pom-Pom beret” on the top. The leaks also claimed that Mega Clefable would be a Fairy/Flying dual-type creature, which is the same type pairing as Togekiss and Enamorus.

HertzBurst then rendered their Mega Clefable concept into a 3D program and gave it some additional shining effects to make it stand out. Mega Clefable was subsequently placed in Lumiose City as a point of reference. While the leaked information must be taken with a grain of salt, Pokemon Legends: Z-A will see Mega Evolution return as a core battle gimmick. With the Starter Pokemon also receiving apparent Mega forms, it remains to be seen how Mega Clefable will hold up in a Pokemon battle once the game is released in late 2025. HertzBurst was complimented by other Pokemon trainers for their continued effort.
Between the return of Mega Evolution and significant changes to Pokemon battles, Pokemon Legends: Z-A will offer unique twists to the series’ gameplay loops. Only time will tell which Mega Evolution forms will appear in the final release.
