RUMOR: More Mega Evolutions Revealed?

by

rumor-mega-evolutions-slider

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!!

  1. I really want to see Latios and Latias get mega evos! I feel like they (along w/ manaphy/phione) never received the in-game attention that most other legendaries had. I really hope all the starters get mega evos. I LOVE megaBlaziken but I dont want it to be the only one! The others need some loving too lol.

    As for Pokemon that I would like to have mega evos for that are not on this list:
    a dragon/bug megaYanmega
    a bug/fairy megaMasquerain
    a normal/rock (or steel) sabertooth megaPersian
    a poison/ground MegaGliscor
    a fire/grass megaSunflora
    a dragon/normal megaDunsparce
    Or they could just have these as regular permanent evolutions 🙂 I think these mega evos allow for more creative typings and im so excited for more!

  2. so instead of giving medicham, jynx and banette actual evolutions. they want to give them mega evolutions… (i know it’s not confirmed but look at mawile..)

    this is a sign i may be done with pokemon by gen 7 or something because i don’t like the direction they’re taking

  3. i would say there would be a 50/50 chance of the rest of the starers getting a mega evo. no one would complain if the rest got mega evos and it also fair. All the starers from all the different regions tend to be fan favorites. 18 out of whatever number of mega evolution isn’t bad. Gamefreak hopeful should realize that having mega evos for the rest of the starers would be profitable.

  4. I just thought of something. Could Charizard’s return in the anime be hinting at something later on. Maybe Ash’s Charizard megaevolves and leads Oak to ask Ash to go to Kalos to investigate the Mega Stone, similar to the (forgotten) GS Ball. Just theorizing here 😛

    Reply

    • That is a thought. They also kind of made something of a deal out of Charizard NOT being a Dragon type, it was very much brought up thanks to Iris, not to mention all the ‘super training’ it’s gotten by being at that Charizard haven or whatever it was.

      On top of that Charizard has always Ash’s most powerful Pokemon since he earned his loyalty and especially since the whole training thing. Kind of would be fitting for Charizard to be his first Mega Evolution, if not the first Mega Evolution in the anime, besides Mega Mewtwo.

  5. Rock/Fairy MegaMiltank. Top percentage MegaRattata. Fairy/Steel Dragon Slayer MegaBisharp. Contrary Grass/Dragon MegaSerperior. Actual Water/Dragon MegaGyarados. Water/Steel MegaBlastoise. Multiscale Dragon/Fairy MegaDunsparce. Fairy/Ghost MegaBanette.

    The possibilities are infinite.

  8. I think it’s safe to say:
    Viola: Bug
    Clemont: Electric
    Grant: Rock
    Korinna: Fighting
    I hate how dull these gym types are. Hopefully in X/Y they have more gym leaders, since Kalos looks like a large-ass region. Maybe there is a Mega League and a Regular League? Maybe there is another region you can travel to by that mysterious train station towards the right-hand side of the map? Maybe the Decolora Islands make an appearance and there is a Decolora League? Maybe there is a ferry that takes us to a “faraway region?” Maybe there are gym leader rematches? The speculations and possibilities are endless! What do you guys think?

  9. Ok, maybe this is stupid, but I was thinking that perhaps the reason Game Freak chose to give a Mega evo only to Blaziken as a starter (at least, this is what has been revealed until now) is because they’re anticipating a possible (probable) remake of R/S and they just opted for the pokemon that would have better represented the 3^ gen starters…if that were the case, I’m expecting to see all the other starters’ Mega evos within the remake 🙂

    • Remakes/sequels would be my dream! I love the Hoenn region so much! GF leaves hints in the their games that could hint at the next games they are planning. There have been a lot of hints in D/P/Pt-B2/W2.

      Reply

      • One of the biggest hints is in HG/SS when the director says they are remaking a game but it’s hard to keep the same feeling as the original (along those lines)

        Reply

        • I think we will get them within the next year. Those were my favorites. Lots of memories with those games. It’s seemed that it was almost the perfect game at the time. I was disappointed when we got X and Y, but seeing all this new stuff makes me excited. All the flaws made in X and Y can be fixed up to make R/S even better!

          Reply

          • There was a Pokemon marathon around the end of last year-January 6 (around there) and in the chat I was OBSESSED speculating and writing the hints to the remakes and boy was I wrong, lol. I am glad we are getting X & Y first because that means the remakes would be even better! 😀 This is like experimentation for them getting used to the new engine, etc.
            Emerald is one of the best games so far in my opinion besides of course X & Y which I know will be my new favorites.

          • My point exactly! I was disappointed with Diamond and Pearl’s Pokemon, but mostly because it only introduced new evolutions. But all the games and remakes after X and Y are going to be amazing.

          • I agree. X and Y definitely have the potential of being the best selling games on the 3DS. It’s a major stepping stone in the Pokemon series. It’s going to set a high bar for the Pokemon games to come!

        • I think that would because if they did ‘remake’ those games, they won’t be remakes like Fire Red and Leaf Green, or Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Because, those remakes were made as part of the fact they rebooted things with Ruby and Sapphire to begin with. The feeling would be different because the plot of Ruby and Sapphire have already HAPPENED in the Pokemon Canon now. And they have referenced it, in BW2, there are two former Team Aqua and Team Magma members who talk about what happened, and also asking you not to tell the other that they were part of the team, unknowing their boyfriend/girlfriend used to be members of their rivals. So, if we get Ruby/Sapphire remakes, I suspect they will be more akin to Black/White 2. In that they are more accurately sequels instead of remakes.

          So, Ruby/Sapphire 2.

          Reply

          • I agree. Sequels would make more sense and I would love it even more since they continue the story. For example a new team rises called team…Aero. They are after Rayquaza to control the other two (Groudon and Kyogre) and they end up angering Rayquaza..I don’t know, lol.

          • they don’t have to make sequels but they do have to reconnect the time line and stuff. such as acknowledging the other regions like they did in heartgold/soulsilver

          • Heh. Either way, I’ve long been thinking that actual remakes weren’t likely, just because of the whole timeline issue, they have continually referenced past events so suddenly having Ruby and Sapphire happen again like nothing has happened would be incredibly weird. Though… Mega Evolutions of Groudon and Kyogre… They noticably have a slightly lower Base Stat Total than other cover legendaries, 670 to 680. And I had thoguht maybe they will go Mega Evolution and join their brother in Dragondom. At least, Ground/Dragon Groudon seems plausible. And thus the world quaked in fear because we thought Garchomp was bad?

          • Probably the largest hint towards R/S sequels are MegaKyogre, MegaGroudon and maybe even MegaRayquaza. Afterwards, we know that they are confirmed!

  15. For the love of Elemental Hero Bubbleman, Make Charizard and Gyarados’s Mega evo types Fire/Dragon and Water/Dragon Please! I’ll love you more for that GameFreak! Man Sometimes I wished I had a Tardis to skip September and go to October already lol.

    • I think the requirements will differ depending on the Pokémon, the more powerful ones being harder to Mega Evolve. Of course the minimum requirement is to hold the Mega Stones, but maybe some Pokémon could Mega Evolve depending on weather, or as a friend of mine suggested status ailments. Perhaps something like Absol could be if it’s the last Pokémon in your Party. Some really difficult and powerful ones could be raising a specific stat to a certain amount of stages during battle, or performing the same attack three times in a row etc. The possibilities are endless!

  21. The fact that Lucario isn’t on this list makes it seem even more believable. Also, it means there will probably be even more megas than this list! Yes!

  22. MegaWeezing… Pump its SpDef and add Dark type.

    megaBlastoise… water/steel Shell Armor

    Megascizor … amp Speed …(as my brothers says) Heat proof though it might get hypercutter.

    megaMarowak…. boost defenses and attack. add pure power

    Reply

    • If megascizor doesn’t have technician, no one will use him over regular scizor.

      If Charizard gets dragon/fire levitate, then Blastoise needs more love than shell armor (unless shell armor ability is buffed). I was thinking more HP, special attack and an ability like solid rock with steel/water typing.

      And where is poor Venusaur on that list…=(

  23. GENGAR my love,my life, one of my favorite pokemon, I hope it does get a mega evolution it would be sick :3

    Correct me if I’m wrong people, SO we can get two starters at the start of X&Y, Kalos Starters and the Torchic ? 😀

    • The pokemon from Hoenn seem to be getting some promotion, maybe there will be Ruby and Sapphire Remake.

      Reply

        • I really don’t want that to happen again. With Black 2 and White 2 I didn’t like it either but then once I played it, I began to like it and thought it to be a lot better than Black and White. But, from what we’ve seen from X and Y, I think this game doesn’t need that kind of sequel. Maybe a Pokemon Z after 2 years and then the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire.after 1 more year.

  24. Dont get me wrong the “mega” evolution has for sure grown on me much! The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that a lot of the pokemon that are reciving megas (in my mind) should be reciving normal evos. Mawie? Absol? They deserve to evolve the natural way! On the other hand, to see pokemon in there 3rd forms like gengar and blaziken recive mega evolution is amazing! I mean gengar is a original that i absolutely love that i never thought i would ever see anything new from… so in shorter terms, i hope having a mega evo does not mean that certain pokemon have reached their final form.
