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
A few days ago I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a separate evolution line of Scyther with 2 evolutions and the 3rd stage being around as strong as pseudo legendary, and now we’ll probably get a MegaScizor which is close enough to what I wanted, thank you gamefreak you’re awesome!
I bet megamedicham gets levitate from yoga. 😉
Where’s Sceptile on the list?
Maybe Aerodactyl could turn into a Rock Dragon? That’d be cool.
I’m hoping they’ve got a bunch of other trademarks tucked away somewhere, I’m sure Mega Venusaur and the like are coming too!
I’m honestly wouldn’t mind seeing most of these if it’s real.
MegaAerodactyl-
Get ready for ancient runes to be shaken, the very earth that you are standing on to be shaken because MegaAerodactyl will make your opponent shiver with fear. With Speed Boost as it’s main ability, MegaAerodactyl will conjure a speed fast enough to rival Talonflame. Complete with an armor of boulders and six wings covered in shiny minerals, MegaAerodactyl will be your forefront tier in battle as well as your prized possession.
Yes, Scizor needs to be more overpowered. What a great idea.
(MegaHoundoom would actually be awesome – cerberus anyone?)
I would much rather Banette, houndoom and jynx were awarded the full evos they deserve. The others seem to be pretty good choices though.
I’ve wanted a Banette evolution for years, one of my favorite ghost types. If they gave it a Mega, I’d be fine with it, but it’s certainly something that I’d gladly have an evo of first, especially due to having a counterpart that has an evo.
I know it’s unlikely, but I would be very happy to see MegaMamoswine- Ice/Ground! >_<
Even if Charizard gets one, I guarantee you that it would still remain Fire/Flying and not retyped to Fire/Dragon. Why?
1) Charizard is in Sky Battles. Since Mega Evolution triggers in battle, it loses it’s Flying type and well, you can see the problem there.
2) Why not give it Levitate? What? You want to give up Solar Power? Give up ridiculous power in the Sun to weaken Stealth Rock a bit (Fire/Dragon is still x2 weak to it)? Yeah I think not.
3) It would also gain a Dragon weakness and for all we know, it could be weak to Fairy too. Mega Charizard would have even more things to worry about.
Maybe a Mega Evolution won’t trigger under those conditions then. We still don’t know what all the conditions even are, other than holding the Mega Stone. My current theory is that Pokemon-Amie will be linked to it somehow too. *shrugs* Just, if we were going to get a Fire/Dragon Charizard, this is certainly the opportunity.
you could say the same for arceus if a pokemon uses thief of it while its holding a sky plate
Roost anyone? Also Soak and Ability-changing moves like Simple Beam for Levitate’s part
We don’t know the full mechanics to Sky Battles. Pelipper’s Soak may not work on Flying types (or maybe the target becomes Water/Flying?) and Worry Seed can simply have no effect on Levitate users in Sky Battles? (There’s no Flying or Levitate users with Simple Beam yet) Also Roost is fine. Moves like Gravity and Smack Down would most likely change or not work.
There’s a possibility that the mid-battle type change is ignored and the Flying-type requirements are only checked before the battle. Then again there’s a possibility that Mega-evolved Pokemon’s type won’t be changed and just added (“Changed” like fire/flying to fire/dragon and “added” like Ampharos’ added dragon-type). I’m certain GF can cover these possibilities
I think that giving Charizard Dragon type won’t stop it from being in a sky battle. I think sky battles will have a secret ID thingy saying whether or not a Pokémon can be in a sky battle.
We need a Mega Swampert and Empoleon! My opponents shall be crippled and bow to my power!
I’ve been waiting for Tyranitar to get nerfed since I could barely use it in 5th gen due to all the powerful fighting types. A MegaTyranitar would be a real boost!
Nerfed? you mean buffed, right? XD. Honestly, despite being a Pseudo Legendary, I think out of all of them he could definitely use it, due to having more weaknesses than all the others, maybe even a new one if Dark turns out to be weak to Fairy. Though… Tyranitar, Absol, and Hydreigon are basically my top three favorite pokemon, for various reasons *Tyranitar’s resemblance to Godzilla, and I’ve had good luck with it in battle, Absol’s kind of ‘Holy’ Dark feel, and overall appearance, and Hydreigon’s appearence ranks a bit below the other two, it’s color scheme is my favorite, various parts of the design like the Wings I like, and it probably does have my favorite typing, Dark/Dragon*, and I tend to be fairly indecisive which one is actually the favorite. Absol getting a Mega Evolution has kind of helped tip it in his favor, but even that could be turned on it’s head.
OK, these are more accurate typing’s for our soon to be epic Mega-Starters.
Kento Starters:
Charizard- Fire/Dragon or Fire/Poison
Based on European-dragons, Charizard grows one more head, becomes a darker shade and it’s tail now produces poisonous flames.
Venasaur- Grass/Poison
Based on a tuatara, Venasaur becomes one with nature. It’s back sprouts a jungle, and it’s hands are intertwined with the very power of nature, vines.
Blastoise- Water/Steel or Water/Electric
Based on the common tortoise, Blastoise becomes the very God of Thunder. Like Thor, MegaBlastoise wields a hammer entrusted with lightning powers. Wearing a Viking Helm on it’s head it goes into battle with it’s brownish mustache braided depicting it’s very nature and wisdom.
Johto Starters:
Typhlosion- Fire/Dark
Based on a honey badger. Any idea on improvements?
Meganium- Grass/Fairy
Based on a -saur, Meganium’s head starts to grow and so does it’s size. Sprouting a bigger petal, it’s soul has become one with nature. It’s antenna now imbued with magical powers, MegaMaganium can heal your party and stop foes from attacking at once with it’s powerful stomps. It’s feet are now filled with twigs, flowers, and other plants loved by scientists and healers alike.
Feraligr- Water/Fighting
Based on a croc, Feraligr once again hones it’s battle prowess thus, awakening it’s true powers. Armed with over one-hundred sets of teeth, MegaFeraligr rides into battle with Huge Power, which doubles it’s atk power and deals heavy damage to foes with a whiplash from it’s 5 foot tail which is now imbued with liquid water.
European dragons are usually single headed though.
Well it depends on how you look at it. Game Freak never stays with a single idea for too long. They add bits of here and there and that is what makes Pokemon so special: it has so many inspirations for it’s design that it’s hard to pick one singular idea to stay with.
And then Blastoise becomes Blasthor!! XD JK I think i’m interested with meganium’s fairy hahaha
I think adding razor sharp claws to megaTyphlosion would make sense 🙂 I’m a water-starter lover but I really want Typhlosion to get an amazing design and type combo. I mean, it’s been the only pure-fire type starter for far too long! lol
LOL’d at Typhlosion. Honey badger don’t care!
I know right!? When I looked at Typhlosion and thought about it’s origin the first thing that came to mind was a prehistoric animal but I then checked Bulbapedia and saw it’s origin to be a Honey Badger. LOL

Alright guys I think Mega Pokemon might have been hinted back in black2 and white2. Early on Pokemon caught in the game have been altered in the new games, Riolu – megaLucario
Mareep – megaAmphy
Azurill – Maril added fairy type
I know people just want older Pokemon in the newer game because of the lack of them in the first black and white. But to me a Riolu in a ranch never made sense.
These are just speculations.
Never thought about it that way. You make a good point! 😀
Yeah check out the other national pokemon in the regional dex from Black and White2 some are listed above in the rumor.
Okay, I will. 😀
Server getting hammered, again. We have plans to upgrade the server though, especially now since X&Y are creeping closer and closer.
I do think that Game Freak should give the Generation Six Starters a Mega-evolution. I mean, think about it, maybe your very first Mega-Pokemon could be your starter. Maybe you had your first Mega-Battle with your starter. This could make for a very memorable time in your Pokemn history.
If anything, the starters will. And at some point, you get the Mega Stone for the Starter you chose.
I don’t see why not, in fact it could be used as Mega Pokemon tutorial, something like someone gives you your starter’s mega stone (Korrina?) and tells you if your starter holds it it will gain immense power during battle or something
That does seem possible when you put it that way. Especially as Gen V had us get access to some stuff based on what our starter was *different first gym leader, different elemental monkey* That means to get the other Mega Stones for the other Gen VI starters though, you’d probably have to trade for them.
Well I think that’s an unavoidable issue when we’re talking about starters, as trading is a must. And I wonder if every starter gets a Mega evolution will the stones also be “unobtainable during normal gameplay” or not?
I’ve been thinking that all the other starters might be like that. With the exception of the Kanto Starters. If we do indeed get them in game, it’s possible they would come with their Mega Stone, and that’s how you get the Venusaurnite, Charizardnite, and Blastoisenite.
I’m not completely sure why some of these would receive Mega Evolutions, but here’s hoping that Latios and Latias will take on their now-famous alpha appearances!
YES! 😀
Loving these Alpha designs.
Honoguma! XD
Don’t you guys just love that little red “something?” (Can’t quite understand it’s inspiration). But alas, these guys already have been that Digimon vibe and I don’t think Game Freak will implant them into this gen.
What trainers/evil teams from the past would you like to see make a cameo in X/Y?
Does anyone think Mega Evolutions will mean Mega Pre-Evolutions in the future?
What would you like the storyline in X/Y to be like?
What would you like X/Y to be based on?
X or Y?
Final Question: Pros/Cons so far on X/Y?
If you have answered all of the questions, congrats! I appreciate everyone’s answers.
I’d love to see another PWT with all of the prior gym leaders again, I would not expect Mega Pre-evolutions at any point, just more mega evolutions, I expect a very DNA centric story, Aren’t they based on France?, X, Pros are pretty much everything except for my one con, lackluster Gym Leaders, I just don’t like any of them so far…
I’d like a PWT as well.
I don’t want Mega Pre-Evolutions at all.
I expect the same, and yes, they are.
I think the same about the gym leaders. The types are a bit dull. Fire, Water, Grass, Fairy or Dark gym leaders would be nice!
They left off Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Bisharp, Gallade, and Togekiss. :c
Also, people want a Pinsir Mega Evolution!?
If Scyther gets one, Heracross (already mentioned above) and Pinsir should get one in my opinion.
If Scizor gets one*
idk I’m skeptical about the Scizor Mega Evolution thing, but it sounds like something GF would do. I don’t want to see a Heracross or Pinsir evolution, both are ugly-looking and I know that’s not an excuse for not wanting them to get a Mega Evolution but I can’t stand looking at them without feeling nauseous.
Back on the topic of the post, I could see a MegaGardevoir looking like some sort of magical knight, fitting since it’s Japanese name is SirKNIGHT. Same case with Gallade. Bisharp would make the PERFECT Dragon slayer if it had a Fairy/Steel Megaforme. Nidoking and Nidoqueen pretty much scream “GF could we have megaforme plz?” since they are both well liked (also it could be a coincidental nod to the “NidoGod and NidoGoddess” variation of the PokéGod rumours of long ago), and Togekiss would be really amazing and I’m sorry I suck at describing things I’m sorry.
No problem! You are totally right. 😀
har har har The animation didn’t work, still gets my point across though.
Also, did I neglect to mention “fan-favourite” Sableye is curiously not on the list?
It’s not a full list…
That’s not relevant.
your not relevant
Conversation is over. This guy wins. Everyone else go home.
I’m still laughing at this comment; it’s just flawless OK?
You know, it could mean it gets an actual evo then O.o Bet you didn’t see that coming now did ya lol
Pinsir is the coolest of the three bugs, bro. Where have you been?
Not 1998.
Sorry for my ignorance I’ll go back there.
I wonder what Prof. Patrice and Espurr/Meowstick’s fate are now…
He threw some fakes in there to get GF/Nintendo off his tail a bit. I hope they aren’t fake since I love the idea.
He didn’t. That’s was someone else trying to make it seem confusing. We still have those Japanese trademarks for Nyanokusu
Ohh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up.
I hope they’re real! I WANTS ME A MEOWSTICK!
These mega stones are really interesting when you consider other methods of evolution. We’ve always had stones that have amplified elemental potential or in one case, gender-potential. We’ve also seen three evolutions that come from learning Ancient Power. So Mega Evolutions cannot be the same as accessing elemental or ancestral power. It’s like mega stones access their very present potential. In the moment, these stones can make reversible yet extreme changes to a Pokemon.
That being said I’d like to see Mega Evolutions for Glalie, male Combee, Electrode, Qwilfish, a lot of Fighting types, the electric rodents, Cofagrigus, Zangoose, Seviper, and Slaking.
MegaElectrode would just be an exploding Master Ball, just sayin’.
Yeah, I think Electrode is a very “in the moment” Pokemon because of its attitude. Rather than exploding, a Mega Stone could grant it the sort of growth that fits its personality.
That’s why my theory is that these Mega Stones are actually modern day creations that manage to enhance Pokemon beyond their limits, and the idea behind them is extremely similar to the research Colress was doing in Black/White 2, so I figure he created them, or at least his work led to their creation.
I would love it if they somehow included Colress in the plot. Thats a pretty good theory.
It makes the most sense as anything.
Yep.
I think we’re definitely going to see Colress and N again. Maybe Ghetsis too though his story seems a little tired. As long as the Royal Dragon is divided, the story of Unova is left unfinished.
Though… I’ve also thought that the original dragon, whatever it would have been, *maybe it would have been Fairy/Dragon, who knows* it wouldn’t have just been named Kyurem, so it wouldn’t be like a Mega Kyurem. Mainly due to the names of them. ReshiRAM. KyuREM. ZekROM. So, a Rim or Rum would be in order. Though, I might be reading too much into that too.
I’ve been thinking that both the arrival or Fairy-type and Mega Evolutions could both be to combat the strength of the Royal Dragon in a way. Of course, mega stones probably aren’t naturally occurring but Fairy-types seems almost ancient/cosmic in a way. It could mean that the Royal Dragon is Fairy type or that Fairy type was buried into the genetic coding of some Pokemon when the Dragon was broken and no longer a threat.
Well, I’m also thinking about what the original dragon could be. Seeing as it split into a Fire/Dragon and Electric/Dragon, leaving behind a Ice/Dragon husk. And given the original dragon’s mythic status compared to regular legends, maybe Fairy/Dragon could be it.
The whole Yin-Yang theme of the duo is better capture with Reshiram representing a sort of ancient energy while Zekrom represents more modern power. If they were to keep true to the Yin-Yang theme, I could see the emotional balance of truth and ideals in Fairy-type but also a pure Dragon with ridiculous stats.
White and Black Kyurem are already so close to over-powering Arceus that a unique typing wouldn’t really be necessary for making the Royal Dragon something of importance. It could be a Pokemon that is stronger than the “creator” of its universe. But if Arceus does not gain a plate for Fairy-type, the idea of an equally powerful Pokemon with a type that Arceus cannot have would stir interesting conflict in the Pokemon world.
I always thought that the Original Dragon would have been something that would have been the same power of Arceus. I mean, being something that split into three Legendary Pokemon, two of which at the 680 uber power level, then yeah, all three back together would be 720 at the LEAST.
Yeah, I’m sure that we’ll see the Royal Dragon this generation or next. Game Freak is redefining Pokemon evolution as we know it so the revival of the dragon should not be a shock whenever it comes. But it could be bad for 6th gen Pokemon to be in the shadow of characters and Pokemon from the 5th gen.
Well, if Gen V was kind of like Gen I again, due to the entire new batch of Pokemon, then you could argue Gen VI would evoke elements of Gen II. And that was similar.
I hope they at least give Torterra a mega evolution. Then I’ll be ever so happy!!
When was mega Scizor “confirmed unofficially”? If it was Hiro’s post, then ignore it. Hiro doesn’t have any insider info this Gen., his previous leak Partner said it. He’s just riding on the coattails of his previous fame. Why do I have to keep repeating this!?
Oh gosh…when I first glanced at this article, I read: “Mega Mega Evolutions revealed?”
GameFreak would officially be jumping the Sharpedo at that point.
lol
XD
Mega Mega Evolutions? Really? That would be beyond crazy.
mega infernape can be a volcano gorrila with fire ground type
hmm
Just because we have a hard time accessing the site doesn’t mean you can spam, ok 😉
A mega a charzarid needs to happen. I imagine it would be fire/dragon, higher speed,attack and special attack and it’s ability would probably be levaite(I assume since it would probaly still have wings)
Though, Solar Power Mega Charizard Fire/Dragon… It’s special attack prowess would put Reshiram to shame, probably.
cool
It would be totally unfair for Blaziken to get a Mega but not the other starters. All the starters should get one. Maybe those bracelets on the protagonists have to do with the bond with you Pokemon and your starter could Mega evolve?
I understand your reasoning, but Mega Blaziken can’t be obtained within normal gameplay. While there will be a considerable amount of “Nite” items scattered across the Kalos region, it seems some will only be available via events.
Seeing as the Blazikenite is not available in-game, could it be the same for the other starters who may get one?
Which leads me to my next question, Aside from event Pokemon, they should start doing item events again, making it able for “Nite” items to be downloaded via Wi-Fi.
as long as the other starters get mega evos i can deal with waiting for a few events as long as it is still wifi
And as long as they remember to RELEASE all the Mega Stones. *looks at the Azure Flute from Gen IV.*
They could do that or just distribute all of the starters over Wi-Fi. I would prefer the latter since I wouldn’t have to find a starter and it would be special.
I think all the starters will get mega evolutions but the only “nite” that evolves a starter that will be available in-game will be for your own starter and you recieve it either when you first learn about mega evolutions from Korrina or after you win the league. The only way to get the “nite” items for the previous starters are through events while the 2 remaining kalos starter “Nite’s” can only be acquired through trading from a game file that had the corresponding starter.
I completely 100% agree.
