[UPD1] A few new pictures added
The evolution for the recently revealed Pokémon Amaura has been leaked by the website Jeux Video. Its name is Aurorus and has a new attack called Freeze-Dry which is super effective against Water-type Pokémon and may freeze opponents! Update: IGN has now released some pictures of Tyrantrum, Tyrunt’s evolution. It can learn Head Smash.

Trivia
Amaura and its evolution are both probably based on Amargasaurus. The artist of the above picture has depicted it with skin sails similar to the two Pokémon, but recent theories speculate that the rows of spikes probably stood on their own without any connecting tissue.

I was hoping the evolutions would help me decide which fossil to pick…but I love both of them!!
Ah well, can’t decide, guess I’ll flip a coin. Heads for Tyrantrum, Tails for Aurorus.
*Flips coin*
…Tyrantrum it is!
Professor Sequoia confirmed!

Probably just the author mistaking it for “Sycamore”, or it could be a second professor like those rumours suggested
Could just be a mistake for Sycamore I think
Not the way he describes it. He says to take a letter from the Proffesor to your mom and then your journey starts. You don’t meet sycamore until lumiose city I believe.

According to the french website, Amaura has a new attack that’s ice-typed but is super effective against water types! Lyophilisation!

Wonder if this could be the beginning of the Duel Type attacks…
Yeah I was thinking about that! Maybe gets the ice STAB but does Electric or Grass type damage to the opponent…

Aurorus is 8’10” on Serebii, so it is fairly large.
Here are the sample cards that you could win! I do Pokemon Weekly giveaways, for Trading card codes, Cards, and hopefully some tins and copies of X and Y in the near future …https://twitter.com/Hellsingkid1/status/380215966116118528/photo/1/large?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=fb&utm_campaign=Hellsingkid1&utm_content=380215966116118528
So, now we saw the evolutions. What fossil will you guys be picking?

Well, I’m going with Amaura, my brother likes Tyrunt, my mom likes Amaura, and my dad likes Tyrunt. Luckily, i have my brother to trade with so i can get both. Not sure about my sister, though I’m pretty confident she likes amaura

Tyrunt and Tyrantrum for definite! Might name mine Stubby cause tiny arms
I’m picking tyrantrum, I am gonna name it “Barney”!
… Oh no. Okay. I have one request, Gamefreak…
Do not make Tyrantrum Purple and Green for it’s Shiny Form. Please. Don’t. I will die, I will absolutely die. I don’t know if I could handle literally fighting Barney in Pokemon. It would be too much.
Tyrantrum I’m going to nickname him Rex after the T-Rex from We’re back or something from a Land before time I haven’t decided yet.
Right now, Tyrunt. May change once i see rest of pokedex though…
I’m going with both since I’m getting both x and y
I will be choosing the fabulous amaura :3
Tyrunt’s evolution is so bad ass and so scary that its actually prompting me to pick Amaura. I love both designs so much, but Tyrunt’s evo is even scarier than Mega Garchomp lol.
That’s because Tyrantrum looks like it wants to EAT you. And he has the MOUTH for it.

Edit @ 13:42: According to an interview on Polygon, it has been stated that no Kalos Pokémon will have a Mega Evolution within Pokémon X & Y.
Serebii just posted this. Take it how you will.
:O That’s a shock. Not even the starters? :p
According to a Polygon interview at least.
Wow ok :/

eh? I am guessing their stats maybe on par with mega evo.
if so, they would need to nerf them in future games if they want them to mega-evolve

Tell me about it. I read a supposed Masuda interview that said Pangoro would Mega evolve.

i hope the kalos region pokemon will be enough strong to knock out a pokemon with mega evo.
You can hope that of any Pokemon!! Which will most likely be the case for “competitive” ones.. along with good battling skills.

This is what I suspected and was hoping for. This way everyone focuses on the pokemon themselves, and don’t kind of ignore final evos to focus on their megas. Makes the gen 6 pokemon special in themselves! I assume they will then do gen 6 megas in gen 7, which will be pretty cool, and get us to look back at/use older pokemon a little more. 🙂

I’m really having a hard time believing it lol. I mean, the Kalos region holds the answer to the mysterious Mega Evolution, but only foreign Pokemon can Mega Evolve? Say what?

Well it may hold the answer, but I don’t think it said Mega Evolution originated there 😛
I agree very strange seems like the starters for kalos won’t get megas now.
Also, older Pokemon have “been there for longer time”, making it easy to study them.. Yeah, no matter what the Pokemon world says, these just sprouted out of nowhere for everyone xD
Within X & Y meaning that any potential future sequels/third version….
Or maybe they want to do something with them, maybe the starters for Kalos are more important than we think and somehow their mega-evolutions will have some significance (or maybe I’m overthinking)
Makes sense. They might want us to use them and get used to them. Maybe in Z (if it comes out) a new batch of Megas will come out (as the 3rd usually has form changes).
Good man! Yes I can see GF playing us their favourite curve ball technique like that. A few generations ago I would of said no way, but since gen 5 the sequel/special edition games are now different; containing totally unique story lines ect. They could easily hold back the Kalos Mega starters to give the games an edge for promotion reasons, and that wouldn’t bother me a bit. What would, is if we were not given their Megas until the following gen.
On another note, writing this made me think: does anyone remember when a Pokemons attacks were called Techniques instead? Wow that was a long time ago, I wonder how many fans remeber that little Pokefact! 🙂 ^^
I sure hope it’s not true and becomes a surprise.
I suppose they did this because the Kalos Pokemon are already ‘new’ and they’re giving old Pokemon a new spin on appearance and strategy. It wouldn’t be fair to give new Pokemon Mega Evolutions when we just got them this generation.
Aww. I wanted a Dark Witch Fennekin Meg-Evolution.

Tyrantrum reminds me digimon but i really don’t care, he’s still a badass.

Aurorus has a move called Freeze Dry, which is an Ice-type move which freezes the opponent but is said to be super effective against Water-type Pokémon.
This doesn’t say whether its 100% freeze or not, but it seems so. I hope Frosslas gets this, it just fits to me.
I would hate for a move that insta-freezes a pokemon. Oh well, I guess we know what the Spore of this generation is,
I like that idea, 100% freeze, as the freeze condition doesn’t activate alot, so it needs a boost like that imo
It would be a highly inaccurate move though, 50% at the most. And to show off a special move that can do super effective damage on Water types, I really think it just has a chance of freezing, maybe a bit higher than the usual 10% chance, but not 100.
Doesn’t matter to me, as long as it’s bulky enough to take a hit while i spam freeze dry. Though, i think tyrantrum should get a similar move, but se on fairy, or steel.

On the nintendolife site, they word it as It can expel air as cold as –240 degrees Fahrenheit to damage enemies, or even form a wall of ice as protection. A move making its debut in X & Y, meanwhile, is Freeze-Dry, which is Super-Effective against Water types (unlike some other Ice moves) and can freeze opponents. It says can, which implies it won’t be 100% Besides, if it did have 100% freeze, that means it’s accuracy would be 50% or less to match Inferno and Zap Cannon.

I wonder how it will be super-effective on water, it sounds like an Ice-type move. Maybe it’s our first Dual-type move to be revealed?
I guess it is something like how we got burn effect on a water move (Scald).
Wonder if Scald will be retconned into dealing super effective damage on Grass or Ice or something like that, giving it actual fire type traits.
This I like. I think it gives an apt advantage to ice types, especially as it seems like most water types won’t be able to learn it unlike Ice Beam.
Yup, they definitely need all the help they can get. And most water types walling them has never been kind to them.
I wonder if there will be more like this move..
