[UPD2] It seems more leaks are coming any moment, as another leaker has gotten their hands on Corocoro and is uploading some pages. New, clear, and full versions of the scans we’ve seen have now been revealed, though there seems to be more to go.
[UPD1] The PokémonKorea official site has updated with details on a playable demo for XY coming to Korea. In this, they report about the Mega Evolutions. This means that Mega Evolutions are confirmed, and any other information should be taken as real as well.
This month’s issue of Corcoro has begun leaking. With new Pokémon and more! Keep checking back as we update with translations!
On Mega Evolutions
- “Mega” Pokemon; These new supercharged versions of their previous ones are NOT traditional evolutions or forms, but happen through a “Mega Evolution” process.
- Mega evolutions are ONLY accessible during battle.
- A “Megastone” seems to be a collective term for the held items used to Mega-evolve each Pokémon. In the case of Blaziken, its Megastone is called “Blazikenite”.
- One of the gym leaders, Coruni, hold the key to these new Mega-lutions.
- Mega Pokémon have stat changes: Lucario gets an Attack stat boost, whilst Absol gets a boost to both Attack/Speed.
- Unknown what the stat changes for other Mega Pokémon are.
- Mega evolutions seem to awakened temporarily in battle by holding a megastone for some Pokémon.
Getting ‘Mega’ versions are:
- Blaziken (Fire/Fighting, ability: Speed Boost)
- Lucario (Steel/Fighting, ability: Adaptability)
- Ampharos (Electric/DRAGON, ability: Mold Breaker)
- Mawile (Steel/Fairy, ability:Huge Power)
- Mewtwo (Psychic, ability: Insomnia)
- Absol (Dark, ability:Magic Bounce)
- Not all Pokemon will get Mega versions.
More could be revealed!
New Pokémon, Miscellaneous
- Meekuru, a Grass-type Gogoat prevolution has Sap Sipper for ability.
- Horubii, a Normal-type rabbit-ish Pokémon, known as the “Digging” Pokémon has a new ability called “Cheek Pouch,” or Pickup.
- Dedenne, an Electric/Fairy-type Pokémon which is the “Antennae” Pokémon, has a new ability called “Cheek Pouch,” or Pickup.
- Speed Boost Torchic will be distributed with it’s “Mega Stone”; This Speed Boost Torchic with “Blazikenite” Distribution starts from the release date(October 12th) to January 15th, 2014.
- Although cut off, what seems to be Super Training is mentioned! As previous leaks have pointed at, completing these games seems to raise Effort Values for the Pokémon that participate.
- Also mentioned is the Master Tower, which has a connection to Mega Pokémon.
Also confirmed is that next month’s Corocoro is to show even more Mega Evolutions, alongside an updated type chart to show off Fairy-type.

Well, yesterday I was so skeptical about these new “Mega Evolutions” because I thought it was stupid, but today I wake up and I see at Serebii, some new information, some new images from Corocoro and I have to say that now I really enjoy this new information because it’s the boost that we need in some battles and to some of our favourite Pokemon!
I also think that this is good for the metagame because it will remake the tiers and maybe give us things that we don’t expect!
Has corocoro ever released twice in one month???
Nope. Never. But we do have the pokemon game show in like a week, so there might be new stuff there!
imagine mega charizard
I don’t get why Lucario got one, I like it but I’m confused, he has a base stast total of 525. WTF!!!?
Why?
Because it’s Lucario, that’s why. 🙂
Wait if Mewtwo goes into it’s awakened form by holding the mega stone, then that means there might not be a second form like people were saying(MewX, MewY).
Mewtwo might have two Mega Evolutions by utilizing two different
Mega Stones. These stones could possibly be Mewtwonite and Mewnite..
All starters should get mega evolutions, Blaziken has so much favouritism.
Mega Mudkip 😀
So, I was reading replies under NLque’s uber-upvoted comment and noticed someone made a very interesting comment.
Derek Mcpike said: “This site claims the scans are fake. It also says the only real image is the Mewtwo.”
What if this is all just some well-planned, well-thought-out, Photoshopped hoax?
Maybe, maybe not? Not gonna lie, I’m kinda hoping it is… *fingers•crossed*
First stage: Denial
Second Stage: Actually confirmed by Official Pokemon Page.
after a good sleep and seeing confirmed news that mega forms are only within battle. i am growing to accept it. this would add another twist to competitive battling.. my only problem with mega forms now is that
1) its clearly obvious that fan-fav mons are the only ones to get it, thus leaving out others! what if i want a mega dewgong, swalot or electrode?? it’s too unbalanced
2) like the case with absol and mawile, many pokemon that NEED REAL EVOLUTIONS aren’t gonna get them
Hey on the picture where mewtu/lucario is also a froakie
I’m loving it
Finger lickin’ good
imagine a bisharp mega evolution. 😀

Yesterday, I said I didn’t like the MegaMons. Now I want all of them… O.O
I figured as much before, but the game is based on biology and DNA! The symbol on the Asian cases above the title appears after the form changes.
Pokémon.com updated the website w/lots of new information. It’s way more in depth than corocoro.
Though they haven’t shown MegaAmpharos, MegaAbsol, and MegaMawile yet…
All the Mega Stones are the pokemon’s name + ite. They all seem to be some sort of sphere with three different colored stripes. There are more specifications to MegaEvolution that haven’t been revealed yet.
Super Training is accessible at any time during the game, along with Pokémon Amie. They are accessible through the touch screen.
Different gamemodes for Super Training were revealed.
Shalour city appears to be the city to the left of the desert (pokemon.com confirmed it is a seaside city). It’s gym leader is Korrina, and the gym puzzle requires you to roller skate & grind on things.
The Mega tower appears to be Mont-Saint-Michel (not confirmed).
Dedenne is still called Dedenne
Horubii is now called Bunnelby, learns Dig
Meekuru is now called Skiddo, Has sap sipper, learns Leaf Blade.
Torchic distribution event will be available in Us and Uk (probabaly worldwide)
i want a haxorus mega evo, pls 😮
So this how there going to give old Pokemon new evolution’s this reminds me of the trading card game.
Definitely liking Mega-lutions for Mewtwo, Lucario, and Absol. Hopefully the X&Y starters will get mega-lutions.
And seriously, a “Lucario vs Mewtwo” fight, how long have we all been waiting for that?
3 words:
Super Smash Brothers
Give us Mega Charizard NOW
Don’t worry you’ll get it in a few months….
GAMEFREAK SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
