[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.

Oh, please, oh please, let there be a MegaWeezing!
Yes that would be amazing !!
Might want to read my comment above. I with u on this!
Is this a hint that possibly Kalos is connected to Hoenn in some way… Or gen 3 remake
Just to add on, DLC is out of the picture. At the E3 conference, DLC was said to not exist in X/Y, but they could make a new kind of DLC, maybe DLR– Downloadable Regions?
LOL the comments are flying down fast. I guess I’ll be more open to the idea in a few days but I just still can’t get over pokemon like Blaziken getting this if the other starters don’t things are going to become unbalanced 🙁
Just wondering, maybe Pokemon get their Mega Forms once EVs are maxed out…
Now, with this uproar around the world.. I really, reaaaallly wish the leaker to not be a jerk and calls this a fake.
It’s real buddy deal with it
I know 🙂 I just thought that if it happens there will another different uproar hahaha
Maybe mega Evo is a supersaiyna type thing you must be at a certain level
All Mega Pokemon might know Super Sayan 4 and Kamahameha.
Or spirit bomb/ball
They really have to release lots more Mega Forms because there is only one more CoroCoro leak after this one unless you don’t count a possible one on October 11th…
Why do we keep getting cutesy pokemon? I want some ferocious ‘mons!
YEAH!
Need…feroucious…Fariy-type pokemon….
I think the point of Fairy-types is more centered towards cute Pokemon, whereas new types from Gen 2 like Steel and Dark were centered around ferocious Pokemon.
I don’t like the notion that these MegaEvos are only available during battle, I mean if you’re gonna add this new mechanic at least go the whole way and let us drool over them in all their glory whilst outside of battle
aw sweet, it is exciting to learn that ampharos will gain a dragon type?? or is it just mega ampharos that gets the new type??? does the process of megaevolution have the ability to grant an entire new type to a Pokemon??
just mega
huh, okay. that’s really interesting then
Wait…What?
if u are a true fan of pokemon u will get over it and come to love or hate it but u still going to get x and y and play the hell out of it
at first i was surprised it was real but then i grew to love it within five minutes afterward
So as a fan you have to take everything they throw at you without reflection?
I’m probably going to get it anyway but I suddenly lost all that excitement I had for this game.
No you don’t have to accept right away but a real fan would look at the situation with an open mind and give it some thought instead of jumping on the hate bandwagon.
Well said sir.
MegaAmpharos – Electric/Dragon w/Mold Breaker 😮
(aka) Zekrom lol
Yup
Where do you see that? I’m lost. :/
on the twitter account
Oh, ok. Thanks
Zekrom?
Maybe the reason why some people (which sort of includes me) hate the mega evolution thing is because it just screams “DIGIMOOOOOOON!!!” :/
I’ll still be getting the games though, but man, I don’t think these were necessary…
Nothing wrong with a bit of Digimon 😛
Maybe May is coming Back because blaziken also gets an mega evolution an the other starters not.
Serebii says that “The Super Training facility is also showcased”. Have we seen a scan of this yet?
no we havent
It’s cut out a bit
I can see it now:
Team Flare leader ??? – Sends out Blaziken
Trainer – Uh oh
Team Flare Leader ??? Blazkens Mega Stone altered Blazikens Form
Trainer – ‘O.o Aw crap
Tainer- sends out Final evolution of Froakie . hehehe
Trainer – *Sends out MegaWailord*
You’re welcome.
Really gotta say, that Mega-Blaziken is badass. Wow! Love it.
I really like it too c:
Now I’m okay with Mega-Pokemon. There only used in battle! Hopefully Pokemon has a way to make it even! Like the “MegaStone” can only be used up to 5 times, then it breaks or something. It will be even better if you are given only 1 per game. Yet, I would say the designs are really cool (: I still think it is unnecessary. Yet, change is something everyone has to get used to. (:
i agree
That’s good news. Now I want a Mega-Sceptile. Grass/Dragon would be schweeeet!
You have read my mind. 😉
Or serperior
I like them c: I just don’t understand MegaLucario’s tail…cape…thing..
When was that confirmed?
Leaker said it.
Text is really clear on this; the megastones are hold items.
That’s good!
And do they work for every fully evolved Pokémon, or only certain ones, or can we not be sure either way just yet?
I think so.
No word on that yet. I personally think it might be all pokemon.
Hold items? Well, could that mean that you could see these Forms in your party too? Because they would still be holding the item…
Did anyone else notice that MegaAbsol has like…wings?
Dark/Flying 😉
I also agree with this, but just in battle… I dunno, seems a bit weird to introduce a whole new feature and make it battle-only. Hopefully we’ll get an English clarification within the next few days, but I would’ve enjoyed these more if I could be able to admire them in my party rather than in-battle. The MegaStone part you are spot-on about, as that does sound like something GF would do. Good theories overall, and I hope they come true.
Yea. Just need to nerf it so that it would’t be over powered.
Yeah, especially if not all Pokemon gain Mega Forms, that would leave some out and make others OP.
Again mega archeus will kill us all!,,
XD
Super Judgment.
Yea! It needs to be illegal in wifi-battles or if the game has a battle frontier!
Maybe since there hold items, it means in a tournament you can only have one mega pokemon on your team
Yea! But, hopefully GameFreak will nerf it, so they wouldn’t be to powerful!
Wow, you must really hate this concept. Only one mega stone per game? Use it only 5 times? Not used in Wifi battles?
Of course they’re going to be in Wifi battles. There would be no point if players couldn’t use their favorite Pokemon in Wi-fi battles because you didn’t like them.
That new gym leader looks like she’s in a boxing ring, so is she a fighting type leader?
It could mean that. I’d like it if she was a fighting Gym Leader, Maylene would have a new buddy lol
To much comments, overloading my system
To me mega evolution seems like a system of evolving a Pokemon that looked like it couldn’t evolve anymore and make them stronger. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new concept of mega-lution :). But I just need more details on this.
i thining mega evo are only in battle. watch the eshop trailer with orroto. the part with mewtwo is mega evolution
I didn’t even think of that, it makes so much sense!
MegaArcheus will kill us all!!!!!!
I SPOT ME A FENNEKIN EVO!
where
Um, in the image.
Which image?
Which one?
Ninja’d c:
are you talking about megablaziken?
lol
looks more like some kinda deer to me, honestly
That looks more like a doe Pokemon of some kind to me
In the scan showcasing MegaBlaziken?
It looks like a lamb to me…but it’s strange that its a bipedal.
It doesn’t even look like a Pokemon to me. It looks like a move animation.
What you talking ’bout Willis?
Looks more like the Pokemon-thing that was shown briefly in the anime trailer.
Oh well damn, you were right.
where’s the potato chips???
They’ll arrive here soon enough.
