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. some of these would be cool to see, but would still rather medicham, jynx, banette, pinsir and heracross to have permanent normal evolutions

  2. One thing I want to see in the mega-evos of third-stage pokémon is coherent and interesting design based on their evolution line, and not just OTT development of all bodily features (I’m looking at you Mega Lucario). For example, reintroduction of the interesting features of their prevos they lost along the way. Let me illustrate my example with what I want to see with starters:
    -For example, Mega Blastoise should feature Wartortle’s wing-ears in some way, and not just mega-cannons.
    -I really hope for a Mega Sceptile, and I would be dissapointed if it didn’t feature more parts of grovyle’s arguably cooler design. For example, an even-bigger leaf hanging from it’s head, and bigger leaves dangling from it’s forearms.
    Also, an evolution of the real-life basis of the pokemon should feature:
    -Mega Torterra should not only have real mountains and a massive tree on its back, it should have more of the features of ankylosaurs (or the world turtle, but ankylosaur features are more indentifiable), like an actual club-tail à la euoplocephalus.

  4. (I don’t mean the game mascot, I mean the Pokemon that everyone wants and is featured alot in the anime and in the game, not a very good description, I know)
    I tell you now, the mascots of each Gen will probably get one (Gen 1 is not Pikachu, Pikachu is a mascot for all of Pokemon).
    Gen 1 – All the fully evolved starters / Charizard
    Gen 2 – (Not Sure)
    Gen 3 – Swampert
    Gen 4 – Lucario (already confirmed)
    Gne 5 – Zoroark
    If you don’t agree, just leave your opinion(s) as a reply.

  5. I think it’s fair to say that no one can argue that Deoxys will get a Mega Evolution.

    I mean the “DNA” Pokemon is bound to get one, no?

  8. Hmm odd, we see a Mega Charizard and a Mega Blastoise but no Mega Venusaur. suspicious although I’m not seeing signs of a Mega Rhyperior, Hippowdon or even a Mega Golurk… Some grounds better get a sweet mega evo!

  9. This is the second part of my “More Accurate Depiction of What I Want.”
    Hoenn Starter’s-
    Blaziken- Fire/Fighting
    Already revealed

    Sceptile- Grass/Poison or Grass/Dragon
    Ability- Speed Boost
    Sceptile reaches it’s peak when it Mega-Evolve’s into MegaSceptile. It’s Speed Boost ability allows MegaSceptile to quickly turn battles around in your favor. This Mega-Pokemon that looks like a cross between a leafy European-Dragon and a Gecko can demolish defenses with it’s huge tail that grows up to be over 6 ft. long and along it’s spines grows small fruits which MegaSceptile can eat to regain back lost health.

    Swampert- Water/Ground
    Ability- Huge Power
    Based on Mud Puppy, MegaSwampert can bring the house down with it’s Huge Power ability and shields of liquid water. MegaSwampert on Mega-Evolution grows an extra fin that produces liquid water as a shield. It’s plates now grow to be over 2 ft. long and upon MegaSwampert’s will can grow much larger to protect it and encase the Pokemon in a cocoon.

    Sinnoh Starter’s-
    Ability- Blaze or Iron Fist
    Infernape- Fire/Fighting
    Based off of Sun Wukong, MegaInfernape becomes larger, with a flaming mane and two large poles that can grow to an immense size as weapons. This Mega-Pokemon can leave foes injured for several days with it’s Blaze ability and can demolish foes with it’s flaming manes that are controlled by MegaInfernape.

    Empoleon- Water/Steel or Water/Ice
    Ability- Defiant
    Based off of an Emperor Penguin, MegaEmpleon becomes one powerhouse with the help of it’s ability: Defiant. Empoleon grows larger upon Mega-Evolution and grows spikes of ice as large as small boulders and can crush foes with it’s beak now one with the cold. Empoleon can now control ice with it’s new accessory: a large cannon-like weapon stuck on it’s back that produces ice and freezing blizzards.

    Torterra- Grass/Ground or Grass/Steel
    Ability- Shell Armor
    Based off of Chinese Mythology, the Land Tortoise or Turtle. You can decide on the looks.

  10. Instead of Mega-evolution’s what if the anime had Burst-Evolution’s instead?
    LOL, “Pikachu and Ash have become one with another. They have achieved the Burst-Evolution.” I can see the fan-base crying and moaning. ;D

  11. ooh itd be cool if mega scizor was true. That is one of my favorite bug type pokes. n da heck is with the forums on this website. I cant create an account because of some error

    Reply

  12. While I’d normally I’d be against mega evolving such an iconic pokémon like
    Charizard, but due to the fact that it’s reduced to NU due to it’s typing and Stealth Rock, I’m all for this evolution to come true just so I could use Mega Charizard to sweep any and all haters

  13. Should Dedenne get a Mega Evo? We don’t know its stats yet.. But it has a special place in the game due to its relations to Pikachu….

    Reply

      • If any thing, it probably won’t receive one. It’d be great if it did though, but if this is the 6 gen relative of Pikachu, then they may keep the tradition like Emolga and Pachirisu, Plusle and Minun. I think it’s adorable as it is. It reminds me of a Raichu in Gen 1 Pikachu’s fat body. With whiskers and a different tale.

        Reply

        • I’m disappointed that Pikachu is the only one so far on that list that has an evolution. I’m really hoping Dedenne can break the cycle of cute, unevolving Pika-clones and actually have a real evolution!

    • A previous leaker, Hirobyte, said there’s a Mega Scizor. However, a close friend of him said he is no longer privy to any insider info, so he’s actually riding in the coattails of his previous fame, and Mega Scizor is just a guess, possibly even based in the trademarks.

      The one who posted this article, though, believes in his info.

      Reply

      • i don’t think he would be risking his fame for this. i mean, if he stopped giving information because he ran out of it, why would he reveal something he didn’t know about? probably he got that info from other source.

        Reply

        • No, he’s just riding on the coattails of his previous fame and playing safe with good guesses (and even using the excuse of “I don’t give everything because I don’t want”, according to someone in this page). Also, he stated once that Sylveon would be Flying before all Fairy-type theories started.

          Reply

      • Honestly, though, from what we’ve seen, a good mix of popular and somewhat unpopular Pokemon are getting MegaEvolutions and I’d honestly be more surprised if Scizor didn’t get a MegaEvolution. Whether this is good or bad for Hiro depends on if he tries to use this to convince people of other things.

  15. I would love it if hounddoom got a mega or a 3rd stage for sure.
    Vileplume and or Bellossom would also be ones that I wish would get a mega, loved using it (vp.) in gen one and would be interesting to see, Porygon would be interesting but I don’t see that.

    Reply

  16. I really hope that all the starters get MegaEvos, Mega Meganium especially. After that, Mega Houndoom would be super. Basically I want my previous team members to be able to Megavolve excepting the ones I made fake evos for haha.

    Reply

    • Here is some of his info for people who don’t have time to read the whole thread:

      First off, some numbers for you. Pokemon X and Y is quite large, as you may have guessed, and part of its size comes from the fact that this game technically introduces the largest amount of New Pokemon ever seen, even overshadowing Black and White. This, however, includes Mega Pokemon, so it’s not exactly “New New Pokemon”, but regardless, there are a lot of new faces, and face-lifted faces, to meet. There are 128 “New” Pokemon and 101 Mega Evolutions. The Mega Evolutions are not counted in the National Dex, but there is a separate section of the PokeDex for them which is numbered “M001-M101”.

      Not all the Mega Evolutions will appear within the normal game, with some Mega Stones, such as the Blazikenite, being distributed via Events and such in the future. Pokemon Mega Evolve when they’re holding a Mega Stone, and are the last Pokemon remaining on your team, making them a risky, but powerful, last resort in a tricky battle that isn’t going your way. Pokemon-Amie also plays a role, as you need to reach a certain level of understanding (i.e. happiness) with your Pokemon first to achieve Mega Evolution, plus you also need to journey to the Tower of Mastery after doing this and partake in a final test to allow that Pokemon to access Mega Form. This test is a series of battles where your Pokemon will be pushed to its limit, and you’re graded on your performance and must achieve a certain percentage to pass.

      ———————————————————————————————-

      The Mega Evolutions I know are:

      Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Raichu, Arbok, Ninetales, Arcanine, Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, Gengar, Exeggutor, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Kangaskhan, Starmie, Jynx, Pinsir, Gyrados, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Ledian, Ariados, Ampharos, Azumarill, Wobbuffet, Dunsparce, Scizor, Heracross, Houndoom, Donphan, Hitmontop, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Mightyena, Ludicolo, Shiftry, Gardevoir, Masquerain, Ninjask, Shedinja, Exploud, Sableye, Mawile, Aggron, Medicham, Banette, Absol, Glalie, Metagross, Latias, Latios, Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon, Staraptor, Roserade, Spiritomb, Lucario, Toxicroak, Lumineon, Abomasnow, Electivire, Magmortar, Porygon-Z, Serperior, Emboar, Samurott, Musharna, Excadrill, Carracosta, Archeops, Zoroark, Vanilluxe, Klinklang, Beartic, Mienshao, Druddigon, Golurk, Bisharp, Volcarona, and Kyurem.

      This is the list I’ve heard. There are also a few Kalos Pokemon receiving them, of which revealed includes the final forms of the Starters, Xerneas and Yveltal, Noivern, Malamar, and Honedge.

      ———————————————————————————————-

      Second, Cross-Gen Evolutions have NOT been written out, there are actually a few alongside the Mega Evolutions. Including Sylveon, Farfetch’d, Lanturn, Sudowoodo, Qwilfish, Vigoroth, Volbeat and Illumise, Chimecho, Skorupi, Carnivine, Basculin, Maractus, and Stunfisk get evolutions. There are no Baby Pokemon it seems.

      Third, there is no Second Region, rather there is a Second Quest that is a New Game+ mode unlocked after defeating the Elite Four and watching the credits. New Game+ overwrites your file, however your OT remains the same, as does your various WiFi records and such, and all your Pokemon and Items (bar ones you obtain during the main story) are carried over. From what I’ve seen this is the basic stuff that happens:

      * This is where the Kanto Starter rumor originates from as, in the Second Quest, you’re given a choice between the Kanto Starters at the beginning of the game instead of the Kalos Pokemon.
      * You can’t use any of your Pokemon from the original file in your team until you obtain the right badge, as there is a level cap, preventing you from blazing through with your strongest Pokemon. You can still put them in the GTS, trade them, and battle other players with them, however.
      * You have free reign with Items, meaning you have all the TMs you collected right off the bat and plenty of money to spend.
      * In the first quest, you can’t use Mega Pokemon nor the Super Training functions at the beginning, but in the second quest, any Mega Pokemon you’ve obtained can be used as soon as you obtain the Badge letting them add them to your party, and Super Training is enabled from the get-go.
      * The game is much harder, with Trainers using different teams and more advanced strategies, and Wild Pokemon being higher-leveled.
      * Plot points change and dialogue is different, but overall it is mostly the same story. There is also a few post-game areas only available after defeating the Second Quest.

      ———————————————————————————————-

      Fourth and finally, the Gym Leader types are Bug (Viola), Fairy, Flying, Fighting (Korrina), Electric (Clemont), Ice, Rock (Grant), and Psychic. You travel along the map in the line seen here for the most part, although occasionally you’ll break this path to explore or chase down Team Flare. There’s actually a new Pokemon that lives at the top of the tree which serves as the final test before Victory Road, a new Dragon/Flying Pokemon, that you have to battle. You can’t catch it during the first battle, you simply must defeat it, and then you can ride on it to the E4 Summit.

      The Elite Four consist of Steel, Normal, Dragon, and Dark, each one uses a Mega Pokemon as their final Pokemon.

      • Hm. At the very least, it’s well written. And even the idea of a second quest, while the implementation seems like it would be incredibly complex, is at least a new thought. And then that other potential interview suggesting the games will play out slightly differently would be nice. ……. But…..

        If it’s true, though…. If it’s true…. No Dark Gym Leader. AGAIN.

        If they don’t have a Dark Gym Leader in this game, then they might as well say they are NEVER going to have a Dark Gym leader.

        • I wonder how this point will work:
          The game is much harder, with Trainers using different teams and more advanced strategies, and Wild Pokemon being higher-leveled.
          If you are starting with a new set of Pokémon including starter? are the starters higher lvl also? I hope that this part is false since I want to use any Pokémon I chose. Although this could be a way of doing breeding for low lvl to use so that could be fun.

          Reply

          • i don’t think so. i think they will be the same level, and the beginning will be quite easy, but there will be a higher difficulty curve.

        • he said u can change, but only as your PSS avatar. The 3d model only has clothing and color changes done to it. the “leaker” said that u wont be able to change the trainets hair and eyes on the 3d modle. the site says u can customise your characters outfit but nothing super major. seems kinda odd.. correct me if im wrong. 8]

          Reply

        • no, what he said is that there will be Cros-Gen evolutions (pokemon from previous gens evolving) and Sylveon is one of them (Eevee=>Sylveon)

          Reply

      • Oh how much I want Arbok to megaevolve! Info seems a little dubious though; a newgame+-style “second quest”? Doesn’t sound like a GF thing to encourage trainers to throw away all their pokemon companions that they journeyed with just to get Kanto starters….

      • If Vigoroth gets an alternative evolution that’s actually usable in battle, XY will be the best generation ever. Dude’s my bro.

        Reply

      • Okay i 100% want this to be true! And everything on this list is completely plausible.
        However a few things i think would need to happen to make this seem more likely would be:
        1: 101 Mega Evolutions seems like an awful lot and im fine with that but that would mean a serious amount of items floating about the Kalos region or a serious amount of events GF would need to run to release them all so it would have to make sense that at least 2/3 are in game and that it would be a case of a majority of them being items a wild pokemon could be holding upon capture with like a 1-5% chance of them doing so or that each version (X and Y) holds a specific number of stones that are version exclusive (or both as a lot of the mega evolution pokemon could be version exclusives).
        2) New Game+ seems like a very good way to expand the post-game and i see it being an expansion of challenge mode from BW2. The main downside of challenge mode was that you couldn’t officially receive it til after the league unless you mixed records thus by the time you got it all gym leader and story battles had been done rendering the mode highly basic in what you could do. If NewGame+ is true that would fix this issue as it would be like a partial reset allowing you to experience playing the game in “challenge mode” making whole new teams and still allowing you to use older pokemon from your first playthrough once you reach certain points.
        3) The Gym Leader types seem feasable and i would love for Rock to be the 7th leader! That would mean finally getting a gym battle against some cool rock types rather than the monotonous spamming of geodude! Elite 4 again seems likely if going with the gym types however a distinct lack of Grass, Fire and Water is noticeable and no game has ever not had at least 1 if not all of these types at least somewhere in their league rosters (johto being the exception since it was linked to the kanto league).

  20. Looking at this link from AAPF, it says Mawile (Japanese name: クチート Kucheat)’s trademark belongs to another company. Went to check it out and the holder to クチート ‘s trademark is a company named Jaguar and the application date is 1984, with the trademark being registered in 1987 to be used for “cucito” (written the same way as Mawile’s japanese name in japanese), a sewing machine.
    This is the only result coming from a search on Mawile’s name.
    So… has Game Freak never had the rights on Mawile’s japanese name? O_o

  21. OH CRAP>…TYPHLOSION getting a mega evolution!!!…DO YOU REALIZE how much I dig this pokemon?? damn…and Imagine Dragonite getting a mega evolution! 😮 Wonder what it would look like…I hope there will be elemental Giga Impact moves too…

  23. OBJECTION!!! OverUsed pokemons Scizor,Gengar, Tyranitar DON’T NEED mega evos.Poor Banette who was the Dusclops counterpart needs a NORMAL EVO!
    Btw do you think the megastones will be consumable?

  25. I would have expected more Ice type Megas, as if fairy does turn out to be super effective against ice then that type needs a serious boost.
