Note: Don't actually post any Pokémon Legends ZA leaks here, out of respect for people who want to go in blind.
Leak season is always kind of a big deal with Pokémon. If you're a fan of the series, it's almost impossible to avoid leaks, whether real ones, or fake ones.
In years past, there's been a bunch of leaks, some from legit leakers, and some from people trying their hardest to make a convincing leak….and some who don't try for that. With this in mind, what is the funniest fake leak you've seen?
The Iggy Leak springs to mind, as I remember some people genuinely believing this one. However, it is, after all, just an edit X/Y background with a blurred image of a figure of Iggy, the Dog from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Another one that springs to mind is from a (Unfortunately) now deleted Tumblr post that parodied the low quality and bad angles of many leaks at the time, with the final photo in the post being an alleged photo of a nonexistent Mega Shiftry taken on a phone camera, across the room from the 3DS which was dangling by the charger from a ceiling fan.

Koraidonphan and Miraidonphan being the fake-leaked names of Great Tusk and Iron Treads threw me for a loop just because it was right on the line between absolutely dumb and dumb enough that Game Freak would actually do it.
The [black and white silhouettes!](https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/s/8ZIrmTcGSI) Especially Oshawatt being a platypus with a huge nut on it’s head, it’s so dorky
Maybe not the funniest, but Balio was the best, and that’s coming from someone who loves Primarina.
If people fell for Iggy then they are certainly, The Fool!
Anyone remember for sword and shield when some idiot predicted the names and because of this everyone thought the box arts would be a metal snake and wooden horse m
The [Mega Klinklang magazine scan](https://flightfoot.tumblr.com/post/677550905959366656) that was just a bunch of Klink arranged in a humanoid shape, had three types and the ability “Baby Killer”, was surrounded by Google Translate-tier Japanese text making fun of people’s gullibility, and went on to be referenced by Pokemon Journeys.
i remember the time when there was a rumor about an actual bug/dragon type being added to sword & shield. good times
“Alolan Jigglypuff” just being a floating balloon with a string.
Tentaquil was so iconic that it made an appearance in multiple fan projects (even problematic ones lol). It’s pretty clearly just a glitch or recolor of politoed but it sure was funny
