Pokemon Fans Think They Know What the Legends: Z-A Starters Will Be
According to the leading theory online, Pokemon Legends: Z-A's starter Pokemon will potentially be Servine, Torchic, and Piplup. There aren't many details for Pokemon Legends: Z-A yet, but fans can safely assume that it will be retaining some of the defining traits of its predecessor, the critically-acclaimed Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Now, all of this could just be a coincidence, so fans should keep that in mind. However, it does seem that Servine, Torchic, and Piplup would make the most sense as the starters for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, considering their connections with France.
Pokemon fans will have to wait for an official announcement to be sure, and it's unclear exactly when such a reveal will take place. We know that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is releasing in 2025, and there will
