This is unlike most of the rumors we cover, because this is speculation based on trademark sleuthing that our good friend at AAPF did. There was no 2ch/4chan poster claiming to have insider information, no leak, etc. Instead we have a list of names which seem to correlate to what Pokémon may get Mega Evolutions and will be used in Pokémon X & Pokémon Y marketing, promotions, and/or merchandise. This list is speculative and the Pokémon listed may not get Mega Evolutions. As such, it is being marked as a RUMOR post which always means you should assume false until proven true and simply use it as a means to spark discussion with your fellow Junglers and PokéFans 🙂 Worth noting that the second Mega Evolution trailer featured Gyrados and Tyranitar (seen in the list below) AS WELL AS Hydreigon, Golurk, and Salamance… in case it’s a hint.
Pokémon who might get a Mega Evolution:
- Charizard
- Blastoise
- Gengar
- Pinsir
- Jynx
- Gyarados
- Aerodactyl
- Scizor (Already confirmed unofficially)
- Houndoom
- Tyranitar
- Heracross
- Gardevoir
- Medicham
- Banette
- Aggron
- Latias/Latios
- Abomasnow
Lots to talk about, huh?! Some fan favorites such as Gengar and Pinsir, as well as some under-appreciated Pokémon such as Abomasnow. Remember these Pokémon could get new typings or abilities if they do get a Mega Evolution. Exciting!!

Featured Thread: XY Speculation by Ranger
I call fake, even though many of these will probably get a mega evolution anyway.
Why would they retype Gardevoir to Psychic-Fairy if they were gonna give it a mega evolution? It’d make much more sense to just have MegaGardevoir be Psychic-Fairy instead. It would’ve definitely saved them the trouble of retyping Gardevoir.
Just my opinion anyway. I’m super excited to see all the mega evolutions! If I could choose one Pokemon to get a mega evolution, it would be Mantine (my favorite Pokemon)! I imagine MegaMantine would change slightly, but the Remoroids beneath its wings would turn into sharks and it would look badass! Someone should seriously make that! :3
So if you could choose any Pokemon to get a mega evolution, what would it be and why?
I think giving Gardevoir the Fariy-type was to make it more of a counterpart to Gallade.
And personally, I want a MegaWeavile. It’s my favorite Sinnoh Pokemon, and GF has already proven that we can still get Mega Evolutions for already-powerful Pokemon! 🙂
Surely you can apply that logic to some of the pokemon already revealed though? Why would Pokemon like Mewtwo and lucario need a mega evolution when they’re already quite powerful pokemon without it? 😛
I’d love to see a MegaZoroark. I love using her and giving her a form/evo that’s slightly more durable in battle would be great.
they reclassified mawile to steel/fairy then made the mega evolution steel/fairy
I don’t agree with the list. I mean, no Sceptile no Johto starter or Sinnoh starters for a mega form..I has a sad.
This list might only be half of the pokemon getting mega evolution. Eg the original post shows no lucario. http://pokemonfigure.blogspot.jp/2013/08/registered-trademark-and-mega-pokemon.html?spref=tw
True, lets hope for lots more of megas!
Every starter should get one if Blaziken is. It’s not fair.
I’m happy Gardevoir is on that list. 🙂
Looks great my only real problem with this (and Game Freak) is that the Starters from every Gen wont be getting Mega evos this time around if this is true.
Crying
Missing a few starter finals, so I call fake for now. This is my opinion, I don’t know why I get downvoted. That’s the sucky part about Pokejungle, not being able to express your opinion without being criticized. But, hey, it is what it is. :
It’s probably not a complete list.
Yeah, which is why I call fake (for now.) 😀
If Hydreigon and Salamence get a MegaEvolucion…i will be completely hyped xD…i mean, my 4 favorite pokemon of all at the moment (Salamence, Hydreigon, Lucario and Blaziken) getting one of these…it would be epic for me!
***Do note this list is NOT complete if it is to be considered true as some already revealed Mega evos such as Lucario are not on the full list***
Charizard, Blastoise, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Jynx, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo
Ampharos, Scizor, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Heracross
Gardevoir, Absol, Medicham, Banette, Latias, Latios, Aggron
Abomasnow
From all the mega evos revealed so far It looks like they’re trying to cover fan favorites while including some pokemon that are often overlooked to give them more attention too. I’m predicting an outcry of “I don’t like this and I don’t like that; I wanted *Insert Pokemon name* to get a Mega evo instead they need it more!!!”
No venusaur?
I actually hope we get a MegaEvolution for Areodactyl/Pinsir/Heracross/Banette/Jynx because they need it everyone else I don’t think they need one I’m skeptical if this is true but I’m hoping these 5 do get them 🙂
Since Blaziken is so far the only starter revealed to have a Mega-Evolution, it would make sense for all the starters to get Mega-Evolution’s as well. But of course, Torchic and it’s evolutionary line have always had special treatment: Being the only starter along with Pikachu available in the wild, being the only starter along with Pikachu to be allowed in the Amity Square prior to Platinum, Torchic is the only fire starter Ash has never owned prior to X and Y, being the only starter to have been confirmed to be first planned to be a legendary, and being the only starter to have gender differences along with all it’s evolution’s. With this kind of special treatment for Torchic, it’s possible that Torchic might be the only starter Pokemon getting a Mega-Evolution because it’s always been the favorite of Game Freak.
When was Torchic in the wild?
It was available on a pokewalker course, but I don’t know if that counts as being in the wild.
Oh, ok. (I never used my Pokewalker)
Me neither. After I bought it along with Heartgold I just thought it was a pain and never realized that my favorite starter Torchic was in the walker. My friend uses his walker everyday just to see what kind of Pokemon will pop up.
Along with Pikachu, Torchic was made available through the Poke’walker course Sightseeing.
Don’t forget that Blaziken is (so far) the only Final Evolution of a Starter to be shown in the anime prior to it’s Generation (i.e. Harrison used a Blaziken in the Johto Silver Conference). 🙂
Blaziken was also the start of the Fire/Fighting tradition. ;(
Torchic and its evos were also stars during the Hoenn part of the anime. I wonder why Torchic is so special…Is it because its one of the first Hoenn pokemon created (sorta)?
It’s also the only starter to have multiple pre-alpha sketches which only one of them have been shown.
Are you guys loving the weird floppy ears? It looks so cute.
I prefer this version of Torchic (funny to find pictures I took here xD)
You took those pictures? WOW, that is so cool. XD
Yes. XD You can actually kinda see me on the reflection of the last one. There were also drawings of Treecko and Groudon on this game expo.
PJN, could you keep us in the know over trademarks. I remember a good few years ago reading Pokemon World back when I think Diamond and Pearl were the most current games, this article I was reading revealed a list of names that had been trademarked by the right people for the use as possible future pokemon titles. I remember Black and White being on the list 100% because I remember predicting that GF would go with that as the most likely title they would use first on the list as it was a good title name to work with and it would have been my choice myself.
If I am not mistaken X and Y were on that list as well because they caught my eye as the most outlandish on the list, and that GF would go with it to breath new life into the pokemon title names, but I felt that there were still many more things to use for title names that more naturally fitted into the role. That is why I believed that they would not go with them as a title name so soon.
I’m not as confident that X and Y were on the list as it feels like many years ago that I read this, but I’m 100% sure that Black and White were on there.
This was back when GF started cracking down on fake pokemon games because they effectively prevented GF from using that name for a future title. So they went about trademarking a few different game titles in an attempt to be in a position to potentially take legal action against these people.
I also remember 100% that OceanBlue (or something similar) was on the list even after the speculation of this name as the name of a special edition version of the Gen 1 remakes, when the remakes came out.
All I am trying to say is that after this happened I had decided this was an effective way to get reliable information on future pokemon stuff, and that I think this is definitely a method I think PJN should use in the future, and as a reader I would love to read your articles on your finds!
I must agree with you, because back when Platinum was just released and we were in the information period of HeartGold and SoulSilver, I remember reading an article about future Pokemon game trademarked names, and I remember seeing Black and White on that list, but I also remember other colors like Crimson, Periodot, and other things. If my memory serves me correctly, I think even an Alpha and Omega were there, too. Nevertheless, that is a very good idea and I too would like to see PokeJungle use this method. 🙂
Thanks so much! ^^
Here you go: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=14363761&postcount=69
AAmethyst and Topaz are also registered trademarks, I suspect they may use them for gen VII
Thanks so much Dae! Yes, I remember Amethyst and Topaz! Such beautiful names! I always thought it would be more logical for GF to use stones like them two after DPPt but I would have been a technique they used to throw us of I suppose. Good work finding that I thought I was going mad 😀 Thanks so much for reading my post!
I do remember that during the 4th Gen or the 5th Gen, someone guessed the next pair of games would be Pokemon X and Y. I remember reading that post months ago, and I thought that was pretty clever. If I find the link I will link it to this post ASAP. 😀
Thanks 😀
No prob! 😀
I think that if Medicham gets a Mega Evolution, it should get a defense boost. All of mine always got into really low health after one Aerial Ace or Drain Punch, even if it was 10 levels higher that the opponent…
A Gengar Mega Evolution would be really creepy… Imagine that evil grin…
If Gengar gets a Mega Evolution, then shouldn’t Clefable? I mean, Gengar is supposed to be Clefable’s shadow, right?
Ya, but what would a Mega Clefable look like? I can’t think of what it would look like.
Maybe it could have Moon Stones growing out of it and have crescent-shaped ears.
That’s a thought. Would it be Rock/Normal or Rock/Fairy?
I’d say Normal/Fairy or Rock/Fairy.
If Sceptile, Infernape, or Samurott don’t get Mega Evolutions I’ll be deeply disappointed.
All these Pokemon can become potential threats, but I won’t care about anyone of these until I see my Mega Pikachu
A Mega Sceptile would be AWESOME!
A Mega Infernape would be almost too powerful IMO
His flames would be as big as they got in Ash’s battle against Paul
That would be so badass I’m not even joking lol
Are you kidding? Infernape is outclassed by Keldeo and Terrakion in terms of damage output a MegaEvo buff for Ape would be awesome maybe give it base 135 atk to better compete with the musketeers.
This is the pre-alpha sketch of Blaziken. It seems to be more like Latias then Blaziken but I would want this kind of Pokemon any-day. But here are some changes Game Freak can make: Add a sword, make the wings bigger with flames purging out, and an armored mask, and then make it legendary.
I love Latiken! I totally wish it was real. 🙁
I know right? The drawing is simple yet I totally love how you can distinguish it so easily. Bulbapedia said, before Game Freak scratched this sketch off the Poke’dex, Blaziken was supposed to be a legendary but after the idea of a legendary Pokemon that an evolution line, they split this Pokemon and made one Latias and another Blaziken. So, in reality this is Blaziken not the other one. LOL
I could see MegaLatias and MegaLatios being Latiken-esque, but why would GF slap on a bunch of random crap on them? Why would a Pokémon ever need a sword*?
* ibn4 Honedge.
No not a sword to hold LOL. A sword going through it’s lower-half of the head. I found this wallpaper and it looks so cool. When it Mega-Evolve’s, the sword could be held but not when in original form.
PS: I find myself using Original Form a lot more after Mega-evolution’s were introduced
Ah, I see. Sorry you should have provided that as reference, I thought you actually meant giving them a literal sword. Although I’m not sure how I’d feel about MegaLatios and MegaLatias looking like they’ve been stabbed in the head.
LOL. I actually think having a sword stabbed on your lower-half the head looks cool just don’t over do it. LOL
Is that Spider Riders :O
No. It’s an anime called My HIME.
What’s with the unofficially confirmed Mega Scizor? Did I miss out on something?
Hiro leaked it a few days ago.
Aaah I see, thanks 🙂
Where was this?
Hiro said there was a MegaScizor, but it’s not officially confirmed.
Edit- Ninja’d
Hahaha it’s okay thanks 🙂
Hiro’s close friend said he is no longer privy to any insider info. http://pokebeach.com/2013/06/pokebeach-x-y-rumor-roundup-and-clarifications
Had my reservations when all we were privy to was the Mega-Mewtwo; if
some of the many Pokemon that have been needed evolutions at least get
this “Mega” form that seems at least a little more fair.
Wrote this article a little while back: http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2013/03/07/11-more-pokemon-that-desperately-need-evolutions/
Should be good to see some of those guys get a much needed boost.
venasaur needs one if the other too get one
I Want To See A Mega Feraligatr Thats Water/Fighting!
Mega Gyarados.. Water/Dragon? Or just get rid of that flying-type with anything -____-
give it wings!
That would make more sense design-wise hahaha
Then let’s make Mega Gyarados Water/Grass!
JK
This makes it so difficult to decide who I want on my team! Mega Gengar, Blastoise and Aggron? And charizard? I want to have so many megas, but I really want some XY pokemon too! It probably won’t be too easy to get the megas, and I suppose it is great that they are encouraging the use of older pokemon, but still… So difficult!
These are my take on the typing on the MegaStarters.
MegaCharizard- Fire/Dragon
MegaVenasaur- Grass/Poison
MegaBlastoise- Water/Steel
MegaTyphlosion- Fire
MegaMeganium- Grass/Ground
MegaFeraligr- Water/Fighting
MegaBlaziken- Fire/Fighting
MegaSceptile- Grass/Dragon
MegaSwampert- Water/Ground
MegaInfernape- Fire/Fighting
MegaTorterra- Grass/Fighting
MegaEmpoleon- Water/Ice
MegaEmboar- Fire/Fighting
MegaSerperior- Grass/Dragon
MegaSamurott- Water/Ice
What’s with Grass/Fighting MegaTorterra? Just asking
Torterra is based off of the Land Turtle and it’s one of the earliest known myths that spectates on the origin of Earth. The Land Turtle can be seen as gentle so why not look into that further? Couldn’t it have a fighting side? I agree with the Steel typing by Anon but Steel in early myths was a myth. (If you know what I mean ;D). Fighting comes from the Land Turtle’s bad side when it is not gentle.
Makes sense, I overlooked the origins hahaha, it fits with Mega Pokemon’s “empowered” and “enraged” theme!
Yes, well, does this sound empowering? “Charizard’s Mega-form has Huge Power which double it’s atk power!” If that happened even Mega-Mtwo will have to use at least 99% of it’s strength. LOL
The world will succumb into Mega Charizard’s neverending flames of destruction XD
MegaTorterra- Grass/Steel? No? 😉
That’d be great 🙂 , but I think its Grass/Ground is perfect for it, unless it has badass metal shell XD
I like that. Although steel was never mentioned in the Book of the Land Tortoise or turtle. I like that and should get into it more.
Grass/Fairy MegaMeganium c:
I was thinking that but I recently drew a Mega-Evolution for Meganium and I see it as more of an earthen type. (By the way, my drawing is horrible lol).
I agree with all except Typhlosion, torterra, and empoleon. I think Typhlosion should be fire/dark, and empoleon and torterra should keep their typing.
Fire/Dark would be awesome for typhlosion and I also think empoleon’s typing is good enough too
Well, seeing as these Pokemon are based off of myths, and real world animals, wouldn’t it be more creative to get in depth into their history or inspiration? Typholosion becoming Fire/Dark is a great idea and Empoleon getting Water/Ice is more suitable in terms of my liking’s and dislikes. Torterra keeping it’s original typing suits it well but you also have to venture into the realms of mythology to understand why I picked the typings that I picked. But, alas, I see what you mean.
We need MegaSwampert to have Sap sipper
If one Mega starter gets a new ability, shouldn’t all of them?
Megaevolutions really need to scrap Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent for something decent
Ya
OH, that would make any Pro-Gamer cry.
WOW, my opinion got so many down-votes. DOWN-VOTE TO OBLIVION- MOVING
LOL
That’s actually a good list,
My take though
MegaVenusaur – Grass/Poison Ability:Chlorophyll
MegaCharizard – Fire/Flying or Fire/Dragon Ability: Solar Power
MegaBlastoise – Water/Steel or Water/Rock Ability: Rain Dish
MegaMeganium – Grass/Fairy Ability: Leaf Guard
MegaTyphlosion – Fire/Dark or Fire/Ground Ability: Flash Fire
MegaFeraligatr – Water/Dark or Water/Fighting Ability: Sheer Force
MegaSceptile – Grass/Dragon Ability: Unburden
MegaSwampert – Water/Ground Ability: Damp
MegaTorterra – Grass/Ground Ability: Shell Armor
MegaInfernape – Fire/Fighting Ability: Iron Fist
MegaEmpoleon – Water/Steel Ability: Defiant
MegaSerperior – Grass/Dragon or Grass/Psychic Ability: Contrary
MegaEmboar – Fire/Fighting Ability: Thick Fat
MegaSamurott – Water/Fighting or Water Ability: Shell Armor
Edit: Also, Why is Torterra fighting?
Edit: Edit: Just realized the last one was MegaSerperior as opposed to MegaSamurott XP
The first time when I agree with every single take someone does on Mega Starter Evolutions! 😀
Good job! I hope some of these, if not all, come true!
I explained it to someone else but here goes, “Torterra draws it’s inspiration from the Land Turtle and seeing as it’s always gentle why not get creative and make the “Dark Side” of the land Turtle?” That’s what I basically said.
I read that just after, sorry.
Although, I’m not quite sure that works, a “Dark side” shouldn’t automatically mean a type nor be completely out there, and the turtle being peaceful, I personally don’t feel, is enough to justify Fighting type, dark maybe, or an apocalyptic Torterra that’s part ghost.
True. Although I feel as if people didn’t read through my other “Accurate Typing’s.” That’s where I clearly state what was wrong with this post and the other post is clearly in my opinion better version. LOL 😀
Oh, I didn’t see that. Sorry 😛
What’s up with all the downvotes?._. i personally would want a water/dark feraligatr, a grass/fairy meganium, a water/fighting samurott, and i think Empoleon should keep its water/steel. Good ideas though! 🙂
I think it was already given that ALL starters will get a Megalution. Hell, Charizard was for sure, it’s only the second most recognized Pokémon next to Pikachu.
If Raichu doesn’t get one I’ll be shocked solely because Pikachu is the series’ most recognized figure
I’d also want a Mega Raichu because, I might be in the extreme minority here, but I wholeheartedly PREFER Raichu to Pikachu. So it getting a buff would be nice.
Yaaayyy another member of the Raichu minority
*high five*
*attempts to brofist but instead turkeys*
You know, apart from the design, part of it comes from something that unusual happened to me in the original games, while playing Pokemon Red, on the cartridge too. But, I was just walking into vermilliion city, and I was in about the center of town… and then my Pikachu spontaneously started to evolve on my. It was REALLY weird, and while I’ve found glitches that can make evolution without a stone for Pokemon happen, I’ve never seen one like this. Of course, I stopped it, because I knew that I didn’t really have any moves yet, though I don’t think I knew that Pikachu doesn’t really learn any moves worth keeping it from evolving, TMs would have sufficed.
I think both Pikachu and Raichu will get them. Pikachu for being the franchise’s mascot, and so that you can make Pikachu stronger without needing to evolve it, and Raichu for being Pikachu’s final form, and so no one would complain about Mega Pikachu making Raichu pointless.
Wait when was scizor confirmed did I miss something?
Hiro leaked it a few days ago.
Thanks for the info 🙂
No problem.
Where is the link to the leak?
Look in the comments in the last article, or hold on a minute- I’ll find it if you don’t want to look.
Edit- I’m sorry, but I can’t find the link anywhere.
Edit 2- Look for the comment by Hiro. http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_ho-pokemon-x-amp-pokemon-y_1853422_s7550#p1733266600
Hiro doesn’t have any info this Gen. His leak partner from Gen. V said it. Hiro is just riding in the coattails from his previous fame. How many times do I have to keep repeating this?
Hiro said there would be one a few days ago
Hiro doesn’t have any info this Gen. His leak partner from Gen. V said it. Click here. Here is the exact wording in the article:
From June 15. Hiro is a fake, he no longer has access to actual info. If he did, he would have leaked the Mega Evolutions since they are such a ground-breaking thing.
