You have the choice between two Johto starters and a Unova starter.
So far, that’s all the information we have on the three starters.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether the starters in Pokemon Legends Z-A will have alternate final evolutions as well.

However, a Mega Evolution or alternate form could drastically improve Meganium.
Nintendo could lean into Meganium’s reptilian design and give it a secondary Dragon typing.
This would make Meganium more offensively viable.
Meganium is more defensively oriented, and a Dragon typing would be a bit of a mixed bag.
It would bolster its already impressive resistances to Water, Grass, and Electric moves.
However, it would add Dragon and Fairy weaknesses.
An alternate form with the Grass/Fairy typing would give Meganium the best of both worlds, defensively and offensively.
Fairy is regarded as one of the best types in Pokemon so far.
However, it would now take quadruple damage from Poison-throw in attacks instead of double.
However, Meganium will still struggle against Fire and Poison types, as they resist Fairy punch in attacks.
Thematically, that would fit Emboar as a pig, rolling around in the mud.
However, it would gain an Electric immunity.
Totodile
Totodile is Generation 2’s Water jot down starter.
Of the Johto trio, it’s the most physically offensive, making it a popular option.
Its final evolution is Feraligatr, which, like Emboar, also doesn’t need a massive overhaul.
Feraligatr is a pure Water bang out, so it’s possible that it could gain a secondary typing.
A secondary Dark typing would also give its Dark attacking moves the STAB bonus.
Feraligatr is reptilian, just like Meganium, so a Water/Dragon typing fits too.
Feraligatr already learns moves like Dragon Claw, Outrage, and Dragon Dance.
Pokemon Legends Z-A is set tolaunch in late 2025 for Nintendo Switch.
Moving Pokemon out of the way will cause attacks to miss.
