[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.
Game Details
In addition to the two new Pokémon, various game outlets got to play Pokémon X & Y and have revealed some small additions to the games.
- New Kalos Pokémon will not be receiving Mega Evolutions, only Pokémon from generations 1 through 5
- It’s official, Masuda has confirmed that the overworld will not be in 3D, only battles and some special scenes
- PokéCenters will now feature an area to customize trainer appearance alongside the medical area and PokéMart
- Pokémon now gain XP when the wild opponent is captured
- Professor Sequioa asks you to run an errand at the start of the game: delivering a letter to your mother

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.

For once fosile pokemon I would liek to own.
Wow I’m getting swarmed with all these blogs, interviews, and reveals. .__. Would PokeJungle be able to provide links to all of these interviews? Apparently Eurogamer, IGN, and Polygen all had them and I’m getting confused, like I’m missing something.
Something cool I read is that there are different encounter rates depending on the color of the flowers. That makes sense considering there are apparently a TON of Pokemon, old and new, in the game. Masuda also said that leveling and raising Pokemon was made easier so that the game remains fast paced and dynamic to keep the attention of players, rather than letting players get bored. Good idea!
Probably why we now get EXP for capturing Pokemon as well, to help keep up this speed.
Great They Went ALL OUT For These Games! =D
I just realizedthat Tyrantrum is going to get STAB outrage
I just realized Talonflame and Charizard have the same typing
And Ho-Oh. And Moltress.
Awesome
:O
This pic settled it, I’m getting Tyrantrum!!!!
Reminds me of Digimon a little.. which is precisely why I NEED this Pokémon! XD
Gotta change my pants.
lol
Shoot, I wasn’t wearing pants! There goes my couch! Hold on, gotta go clean this stuff
“Gotta change my pants.. POKEMON!” ♪
where did you got this ?
Someone posted it on 4chan.
nice move 4chan and great move Devon Waslusky 🙂
Question, is.. where are these pics coming from exactly? And why aren’t we getting some more content?
:O EPIC
God this is making it so hard for me to choose my starter 🙁
Still haven’t decided!? I’ve been “reading you struggle” in all articles xD
lmao
Not sure which i like better. I like that they’ve both got unique typings, cool designs, and they’re likely going to be strong since they will probably evolve around lv.40.
In terms of game-play however, there are a few more reasons why i’m leaning towards Amaura. One is because Tyrantrum will be weak to many types (ex. ice, fairy, fighting, water, grass, ground, dragon) while Aurorus has 2 fewer (fire, fighting, water, ground, steel). Amaura will also have a new ability allowing it to convert normal type attacks to Ice type (thereby getting STAB from some of the most powerful moves like Hyper Beam). Meanwhile the T-rex’s have stronger jaw moves :/ And finally its new move Freeze Dried, is not only able to deal normal STAB damage with the chance to freeze, but it’s also super-effective on water types, taking away one of its weaknesses if it has enough speed.
If Aurorus has decent stats he may become OP.
Your info is wrong. Tyrantrum is not weak to grass or water. It would be weak to steel, fighting, ground, fairy, and dragon. Aurorus would be weak to fighting (4x), steel (4x), ground, grass, and water. Yes Aurorus still has less weaknesses (5 vs 6), but it has more 4x weaknesses. Fighting has become a common type after last gen and with fairies being weak to steel, you can bet there s going to be plenty of steel moves going around. So Aurorus’ 4x weaknesses are going to be everywhere. Still love it though. Don t know which to choose.
Forgot ice on Tyrantrum. Whoops!
If Aurorus has a good enough speed and special attack stat, i don’t think Water type will be an issue when it picks up Freeze Dried
Assuming Freeze-Dry isn’t like base 50 power.
Well it says Aurorus learns this move, if it was a move learned by both it would have been revealed with its prevo. This means it’s a move learned at level 40+. I don’t think moves gained around that time would be so weak.
Aurorus would also be weak to rock. since rock does not resist itself. therefore, tyrantrum could land a headsmash for suereffective dammage.
Aurorus is also weak against rock.
Tyrantrum: dragon, ice, fairy, ground, fighting, steel.
Aurorus: fighting (4x), steel (4x), water, grass, ground, rock.
Its 6 vs 6 weaknesses. Equal ground.
Rock isn’t weak to ice though… so wouldn’t that only do neutral damage?
Bypasses Rock, hits super effective on ice.. so, no.
Dragon resists water and grass? Never knew that… guess i just knew better to use ice and dragon type attacks
I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks!
aurorus has 4X weakness to steel and fighting XD
And yeah just like Andmo mentioned grass and water are neutral
Wow, 50+ likes. That’s impressive. I hate to jump on the epic beast bandwagon (#HipsterThugLife), but this guy just keeps growing on me. I always choose the opposite Pokemon from my best friend (I got Lunatone, Seviper, Cranidos, Archeops, Omastar, and we never copy starter types), but this guy may ruin it.
Wow I wake up after one day and THIS happens!!! No kalos mega evolutions…..WOW! 2nd disappointment of X and Y!
It was very unlikely they would have given Mega Evolutions to the new Pokémon because that would make them look a little overpowered in there first ever appearance, there could always be next gen though.
That’s just an excuse. If gamefreak really wanted they could have easily given kalos pokemon mega evolutions
lol what if their stats are on the same level as the Megas
Knowing 5th gen, I can actually see that happen considering it is gamefreak we are talking about
Think about it rationally though, there are 700+ Pokémon now with them all getting 3D models. They also have to make models for however many Mega Evolutions there are, if they made Mega forms for every Pokémon including the Kalos Pokémon that would be over 1400 3D models they have to make. We don’t know how long to takes them to complete the models but its probably a few days to make them due to poses as movement. That would be too much of a hassle to have to do.
Have you seen how much memory X and Y take up? A 3DS game is 8 GB, X and Y is 1.7GB. Don’t give me that excuse.
Put it this way then, would you rather experience the Kalos Pokemon for the first time along with their evolutions to get a feel for them or immediately just bypass all the new final evolutions and go straight to Mega Evolutions to just sweep every team and get through the game in about a few hours?
I do agree about that but I really hope that if they are not included in X and Y in-game, can gamefreak release them by DLC maybe 1~2 years later. I just hope the model files for the X and Y mega evolutions exist in the internal game data
They will probably be in either the rumored Pokemon Z or like X2 and Y2 or whatever the third game is, or they will be in the 7th generation and you will just have to wait patiently until then and enjoy the new Pokemon as they are. Also I would find it easier to believe that they won’t give us any Mega Stones in-game (aside from the event Torchic) until post game so we can get better attached to our Pokemon and not have to worry about being overpowered.
In the IGN interview they confirmed that X and Y were based off the dimensions, so Z is the likely 3rd Game. If Z is released that means its has to have connectivity with X and Y. Which basically means that Kalos pokemon already have model files for their mega evolutions in the internal game data in X and Y if kalos mega evolutions were introduced in Z for connectivity to exist. Its just that the mega stones are not obtainable in-game in X and Y. That’s my hypotheisis. They are obviously doing this so Z remains fresh also.
No 3DS game is 8GB. None of them are even 4GB. Large capacity cartridges are expensive and no games are likely to use 8GB carts in the coming future.
Why would they use a mechanic to bring old Pokemon back to relevance on new pokemon that are currently extremely relevant???
They probably will for future generations, like how BW Pokemon didn’t have dream world abilities.
BW Pokemon have Dream World Abilities… Some were even shown off, like Darmantian and it’s form changing ability.
I meant not all of them. >_> And I’m getting the feeling that only a select number of older generation Pokemon will even get Mega evolutions, so that’ll be the next thing people complain about.
Shadow Tag Gothitelle??
I think they wanted to test the waters with Mega evolutions by having them on older pokemon.
I think the internal game data has kalos mega evolutions. Its just that in X and Y you can’t obtain the mega stones. I’m fine with that as long as they release it later.
New professor? I suppose Professor Sequioa is this “Patrice” or is it Sycamore in another language?
Wow I love them both 🙂 Making a team in Pokemon X and Y is going to be
difficult, I like all the Pokemon revealed so far.
Erm.. sorry for the question, but who is Professor Sequoia? xD
We don’t know. The IGN article revealing Tyrantrum spoke of this person, talking about delivering a latter for them/to them, something like that. No other details than that.
Wait so our Mother sends the letter to him, or is it the other way around. Either way, I believe this Sequoia is maybe our dad lol?
Would be interesting if we have a parent who is a professor, we have had a father who was a gym leader. You know, it would also just be interesting to have a freaking father again XD
LOL Agreed, since in my head at least, I see my father (who is a retied Zoologist IRL) as a Pokemon Professor as well, so it would fill the void….wait…..could this mean in the anime…..we may meet Ash’s father?!?!
Never know. Apparently this Serena will be a childhood friend of Ash back before he got his Pokemon, so the opportunity is certainly there.
Either my guess is he’s the “third” professor of Kalos if the region is split into 3 part due to 3 Pokedex parts. But I have another theory below.
“Professor Sequioa asks you to run an errand at the start of the game: delivering a letter to your mother”
does this means that there actually is a second professor just like the pokebeach leaker said?
As much as I love the new Pokemon, the gameplay is a huge factor for my general NEED for this game. I’ve been reading the two interviews from Polygen and Eurogamer to pick out the significant details relating to gameplay and environments. Feel free to add any I miss.
-Pokemon retains its familiar settings with notable tweaks and upgrades. Probably the most noticeable is the updated visuals, including 3D models and environments. The areas are more ‘filled’ and the camera retains its top-down perspective but there are more dynamic camera angles.
-The games and anime are somewhat influencing each other. The games and animation will flow more together to define what Pokemon are actually like. Hopefully they still leave in lot of headcanon and ambiguity.
-Accessories include badges, buttons, ribbons, and bows. There is apparently a very large wardrobe as opposed to only a few selections.
-You travel a lot with your friends. I wish they would let you travel with actual players on your friends list. I would love to go on a ‘Pokemon adventure’ with my brother and boyfriend and other friends.
-There is a Professor Sequoia, whom apparently has you deliver a letter back to your mom. Perhaps this is the Patrice character PokeBeach rumors mentioned?
-The amount of Pokemon in the game is very high, although no actual number was defined. Polygen claims all Pokemon will be available but I don’t find that believable.
-Older generations will appear. Pokemon like Pikachu and Psyduck are available very early game. Pidgey and Caterpie are also apparently catchable.
-You received a Kanto starter from lazy-ass Sycamore after the first gym.
-Sycamore also challenges you to a battle at some point. Sycamore is apparently studying Mega Evolutions as his professor-theme. I guess we can assume he will have at least one Mega on his team.
-Wild Pokemon encounter rates depend on the color of flowers you are in.
-Mega evolutions are only temporary due to strategy reasons. Since mego evos require a held item, opponents wouldn’t be able to tell if you will mega evo or not (or what you will evolve into in the case with Mewtwo). This means you’ll have to guess your opponent’s strategy.
-No Kalos Pokemon get mega evolutions.
-Megas are also not permanent due to the fact that Pokemon would then be too OP.
-Masuda said that there is importance to the legendaries on the respective box arts. Apparently the versions change in story, gameplay, and exclusive content. I suppose this is similar to how the story changes in Ruby/Sapphire.
-Polygen claims that Pokemon noises are less like a fax machine but I don’t know if I believe them. Although granted…the noises have gotten better.
-Polygen is surprised by this but we already knew that running is now default and movement is now faster. Putting it out there for everyone who forgot to be happy.
-NPCs still talk like morons.
-Super training, PSS, and Amie are easily accessible on the bottom screen for players to choose whichever fits their gameplay style.
-No note on how many new Pokemon there will be. I hope they don’t sacrifice the total number of new Pokemon for involvement of older Pokemon.
-Since catching all of the Pokemon is pretty damn hard due to the sheer number of Pokemon, the focus is not knowing what kind of Pokemon you will run into on your journey. This is why more is better.
-They’ve wanted to do international releases for a while so we can assume future games will do the same.
-There is a lot to do post game but it is all in Kalos. Sorry, gen 3 fans.
-Pokemon was made to be fast paced. Grinding, leveling, and training are now easier (this includes EV training and happiness levels). This is due to the fact that many free games are accessible, so the dev team didn’t want players to get bored. The game aims to be constantly interesting and involving so made the adventure more brisk with still a ton to do.
-Get your heads out of the gutter: no news on Pokemon on the Wii U. Well, for main titles anyway.
-POKEMON SNAP? YES PLEASE. Masuda said basically maybe but it would have to have very innovative ideas involved.
Highlight: “The amount of Pokemon in the game is very high. Polygen claims all Pokemon will be available”
Please be true
I read somewhere else that ALL Pokemon would be available. Wonder what is THAT going to do for a nuzlocke :1
Also, getting all legendaries, finally? Doubt it..
My theory that Sycamore is only focused on Mega Evolutions seems right and the Poke Professor is a woman
“NPCs still talk like morons” made me chortle.
Also: the fact that Masuda even acknowledged a potential Snap sequel is exceedingly goo news
One of the interviews said that old Pokemon like Panpour and Zigzagoon are findable in the first hour. I sure hope that the new Pokemon are still the spotlight- I just completed the national dex in Black 2 and have one of every Pokemon (minus events) in my box. I don’t need old ones- I need the new ones!
That said, the different encounters depending on the flowers is pretty great. Typically I guess there’d be 7 different Pokemon on a single route, but now there could be up to 15 or 20 depending on the flower. This would be a great way to balance out the plethora of old and new Pokemon. If I have to walk in the pink flowers to find my Litleo for hours, I will do it. Also, I hope shaking grass is back- Audino hunting saved me so much time leveling my Pokemon up.
Customization is my most anticipated feature just think of all the possiblilities… I WANA WEAR MY BADGES! ! 😀
*reads all this*
*starts dancing in excitement*
OMG OMFG. This…..I have but few words to say and that is…
MY BODY IS DEFINITLY READY FOR A 24 HOUR NON STOP PLAYING OF X AND Y
Well, my guess is your mother might be a professor as well. She might be the one here with the Kalos starters. Just a wild guess. ;D
Not having the avatars show up on Disqus is kinda annoying. Makes it plain. :
As for those fossilutions… Dat Tyrantrum! O’ heavenly being in the sky, thank you!
It looks exactly as a fearsome king of the dinosaurs should in Pokémon form!
Hype, hype, hype!
I have never had a problem with the avatars though
I dunno why I am. I’ve been using Firefox again recently for about 2 months now cause I’m having sync problems with Google Chrome, but I’ve even tried checking out Disqus on Chrome and I’m getting the same results. Don’t really know how to fix it… besides deletin’ all my cookies and cache. :[
I’ve already deleted all my cookies and cache (I use Chrome). It’s still the same, no avatars. Tried Internet Explorer too, and it’s the same, no avatars 🙁
Blaaaah! 🙁
Also, it seems like PokéJungle seems to have Disqus’ comments on Best (which sorts them by highest upvoted to lowest) by default as apposed to other sites that have it on Newest. So, whenever I visit the comment section on these articles, I can see the avatars, but I like to sort the comments to Newest and when I do that all the avatars end up lookin’ like an empty white square space that says Avatar at the top in blue.
Basically, whenever I change the comments away from Best or even click on the Community tab, it obliterates all Avatars like Exodia. Once again, blaaaah! 🙁
That’s the same exact problem for me!! 🙁 It’s on Best, I can see all the great avatars, I change to Newest and BAM, everybody is a blank 🙁
I really hope Paul or one of the other P. Jungle staff members can help us. It seems to be a Disqus problem, cause it’s like this on other sites that use it, as well, but, PJ can at least change PJN’s Disqus default to Newest rather than Best, if possible. That would be a big help! D:
Well, my guess is your mother might be a professor as well. She might be the one here with the Kalos starters. Just a wild guess. ;D
Whilst it isn’t confirmed it’s heavily implied that Tierno gives us our starter Pokemon.
Your friends get the starters from a professor.
Oh yeah, I know that, I just meant that it’s Tierno who gives them to you, probably on the roof at the same time Trevor gives us the Dex
Flabebe
Amaura’s freeze dry move is amazing! 4x on swampert, 4x on gyrados, 4x on Kingdra, 4x on ludicolo. I think I’m choosing Amaura despite Tyrunt looking so AMAZING.
Ooh, Ludicolo. They’re a pain to battle with VGC rules. But, alas, poor Swampert and Quagsire.
Not any more, because people will be using more poison types
Ice is making a comeback!
~ ice ice baby ~
I’m praying that Articuno gets freeze dry seeing as in the TCG he does…..
I want Deibird to make a comeback with a Megaevolution packing FreezeDry! :p
I want mega delibird to get huge power!
How is it 4X on Swampert?
freeze dry is an ice move that does 2x to water and ice is already 2x to ground
Ice moves are neutral to it, and since it’s a move strong against water, wouldn’t that make it just 2X?
Well, this is based on that it would still do regular ice damage, so it would still be super effective on Ground, and due to it’s attributes, it’s now super effective on Water, so it would be like a Grass attack hitting it instead now, as it’s super effective against both parts.
No, read the news, Freeze dry is a new ice move that is super effective on water types.
It wouldn’t be 4X though. And I read the article. If ice is currently neutral to Swampert because it’s water/ground, the effect would only be 2X due to the water typing.
It’s neutral on Water/Ground because it’s super effective on Ground, but Water resists Ice. Water would now be weak to Ice as well, so that should make it 4x, because super effective on water, super effective on ground together.
Hm… Maybe… But I still only see the effect kicking in to make the water typing weak
The reason that ice does 2x to swampert is because water resist ice (0.5x) and ice does (2x) to ground. So,
0.5 x 2 = 1, that’s why it was neutral
Now ice is super effective to water so it does (2x) and ice does (2x) to ground
2 x 2 = 4 that’s why its 4x
I still think the effect wouldn’t do that. We will see on the 12.
With your argument, freeze dry’s effect ought to be that it IGNORES water typing. That means freeze dry does neutral to swampert, gyrados, Kingdra, and ludicolo. And it does neutral to water types. That makes no sense! Dual type pokemon are not treated separately from single type pokemon. Thats why electric moves do 4x to gyarados, not 2x because electric moves does 2x BOTH of the types. It compounds.
I never said that it would ignore the water typing. That is the effect of the move to be super effective, Making it super effective against Grass, Ground, Water, and Flying and whatever I left off. You’re saying that the effect ignores the typing and ice will effect it. When Ice is neutral against Water/Ground, it would follow the rule:
Freeze Dry: This move does super effective damage against water types.
It will do its usual neutral damage and the effect would kick in, doubling that and giving it 2X the damage. The ground typing would not be effected in any way because that’s mot the water half. The way your belief would work is if
A) The effect kicked in and did 2X WHILE canceling out the water typing and effecting the secondary typing
or
B) They changed the mechanics of the whole idea.
A moves effect will only affect what it says it will. So!
Swampert now has two weaknesses: 4X to Grass, and 2X to Freeze Dry due to the effect. Its water typing weakness to the move will have nothing to do with its ground typing. Same goes for other dual typed water types.
I’m through with this argument. Ice is neutral to Water/Ground. Unless the effect states other wise, it will only bother the water half of the typing.
I pray to Arceus that Aurorus doesn’t get blessed with hindering speed 🙁
Don’t you mean cursed? Lol
Hindering speed isn’t much of a blessing.
lol sorry I was stoned.
Smokin’ dat Oddish, huh? Lol
D: I love Oddish! DON’T HURT MY ODDISH! D:<
lol nah smokin’ that Weedle.
Sadly I don’t think sauropods moved too fast, and given that it’s paired with a theropod I think that Aurorus is set to be the slow tank fossil of this generation and Tyrantrum the glass cannon
I also agree, I expect low speed and attack but high special attack, defence, hp and special defence
I reckon that the special attack will be rather average out of fear of overempowering it with it’s ability. I’m gonna guess a max sp. Attack of ~270 at lvl. 100 but we’ll see! I always like to be surprised!
I hope freeze dry has BP greater than 80, otherwise its pretty useless.
I dunno, I was kind of hoping for a scald-like move for ice pokemon. I think too high a bp will make it too good!
Actually, you maybe onto something! I think scald and freeze dry are variants. Scald will most likely do 2x to ice and have 30% burn. While freeze dry does 2x to water and have 30% freeze. Like counterparts….
I didn’t even think about modifying Scald! It’s a good idea though,
Scald seem like the perfect dual type move.
🙁
Im really pumped up for this new generation. The pokemon designs are way to better than the previous gen. The fossil pokemon remindh me f dinosaur king and fossil monsters.
And with the updated Sugimori image I love Tyrantrum even more! Shaping up to be my favourite fossil of all time and I don’t even know it’s moves yet!
Both of the fossil pokemon look amazing this gen!
Yes! I’m usually not fond of one of the fossil evos but this generation has pleasantly surprised me with some very nice designs for both!
I agree! It looks way more awesome now that I see it. Although I still like Aurorus more!
I’ve got some things I wanna show you guys and gals. I guess this’ll be 1 outta 3.
Not much of a big deal, but looks like some Pokémon coined the move
Freeze Dry first, Amaura… Wait, but you’re a fossil Pokémon, so maybe…?
Was Articuno even around back then…? Wha…? I don’t even…?
Well, officially, Articuno was first.
Although, official doesn’t mean much to prehistoric creatures anyway…
Whatevs! You’re still wuvable~♥
There were a couple of moves released in BW that were from TCG many many years back. It makes sense to look to TCG for new attacks if you think about it.
Yeah, I know. I just wanted to point out that TCG moves do have the potential to become real moves used in the Pokémon games,
which is great. Freeze Dry is a very welcomed new move. 🙂
When I was 6 I found that card in a parking lot
Pretty lucky find. Is Articuno one of your favorites?
One of my favorite legendaries.
If there truly is a Legendary Pokémon to represent Z the way Xerneas represents X and Yveltal represents Y (and we all know there will be), would you imagine it to appear like this?
Introducing, *cough*unofficially*cough* Zidhoggon!
More or less, I belive so.
Try saying that 5 times fast!
Surely Yveltal is a more accurate representation of Nidhog due to its penchant for destruction?
In a way, true. But, think of it this way…
If Xerneas represents good as the Life Pokémon and Yveltal represents bad as the Destruction Pokémon, then what would possibly come between them?
Balance. The Z Pokémon could represent a neutral stance as the Balance Pokémon. Neither good nor bad, but also both. There’s life, there’s death… but somtimes, there’s limbo. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo" class="extiw" title="wp:Limbo/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory" class="extiw" title="wp:Purgatory.
I can get on board with a balance pokemon but they will need a way of distinguishing it from Rayquaza in its role
I can imagine it being more waaay more calm than Rayquaza.
That dragon was cray-cray. Always rampaging.
This Z dragon could have more of a “don’t bother me, and I won’t bother you” type of personality. Its not picking a side.
Its just doing its duty as the Balance Pokémon.
I always thought that to balance Life & Destruction, you have to have Decay…?
Ew. Decay makes me think of undead/zombies
and that’s not a great balance! 🙁
But by balance, I meant something to keep life and death in check and keep them equal in power. Think of a Libra scale.
I don’t think he meant decay in that sense. When the body decays, it gives life to other things. For example, an animal’s physical body decays to give nutrients to the soil and plants. You don’t really need a balance as it is already a perfect cycle.
Not in the Pokémon world, it’s not.
In the real world, no one or thing controls life or death.
In the Pokémon world, there’s all sorts of crazy powers going around that could definitely use some controlling every now and then so things won’t get too chaotic.
*Saw Amaura’s and Tyrunt’s evolution* *Officially lost my sheet*
I’m planning on training both at some point for use, Aurorus because it has interesting aspects I think could be very cool in battle, and Tyrantrum because it’s friggen awesome. Also I’ve been meaning to say this, but Pyroar was ‘leaked’ last wednesday, and then was officially revealed last week from this day… and then on today, Thursday, we get these two guys revealed… I’m already calling we are getting something next week on Thursday.
I hope you’re right! I think I’m falling into a state where I need to feed on a constant flow of news to keep going XD
Seriously, I want news like this every week, other wise I won’t be able to survive until the 12th
Just, two weeks in a row we got something on Thursday? It may just be evolutions of stuff we know about, but I don’t see that being a coincidence. Any guesses for next week? I’m thinking either Helioptile, to go along with Pyroar, or maybe Clauncher and Skrelp evos. Depends on what pattern they want to use.
Looking at the current “trend”, it seems to be evos for gen VI pokemon so I’m hoping for a helioptile evo (to get another reptile into the team!) but I think that on the Thursday directly before the release day we’ll get final starter evos.
Am I the only one exited about Wi-fi battles that lower your ranking if you disconnect!!! This gen, I think I want to get more into competitive double battles!
You see!! Dual-typed moves on one type doing damage of another type! That Freeze Dry… *realizes Milotic’s Water-type* UUUUGGHH, WHY?!! It’s cool , but WHY?
Possibly his is what they meant.. nice catch! ; ]
Tyrantrum is a savage beast that radiates power and supremacy.
My kind of Pokemon
yet a lot of common weaknesses
Steel
Ground
Fighting
Ice
Fairy
but nonetheless TOTAL BADASS
With tremendous power and badassness comes many weaknesses unfortunately
Well, when you combine something with rock, a lot of weaknesses are bound to happen.
DOESN’T MATTER, HAVE REX
What are its strengths?
Well, Rock is a Fantastic Attacking type for one, Dragon, while nerfed thanks to Fairy, still will be able to hit a lot of things pretty strong, just needs to watch out for fairy switch ins, it’s getting the bite upgrade, so it should get plenty of fang moves that will be buffed considerably that it can use and give coverage, It will get a Special Defense boost in Sandstorm, so it will be more durable that way, as I bet a lot of it’s counters will be in the special department… Not a lot of resistances though, the grass and water resistances are cancelled out, though it keeps Electric and Fire resistance, the latter doing absolutely nothing to it. Of course will resist Normal, flying, and poison as well
Super eff against?
Well it’s super effective on Ice, Flying, Fire, and Bug, and only Ground, Fighting, and Steel resist it, and combine it with dragon, the ground and fighting can be hit by that generally speaking. But Stone Edge is known that it can hit a lot of things very very hard. Fire Fang buffed by Strong Jaw would help out against Steel types as well.
rock does 2x to flying, fire, ice, bug
Plus he’s definitely getting earthquake so add 2x to electric, steel, poison, rock. Then Crunch so add 2x to ghost, psychic. He’ll probably get fire fang, ice fang and thunder fang …..yeah
HE’S AMAZING!!!!
Don’t forget its super effective against dragon too!
Plus Hard Jaw ability….can he get anymore amazing!!! xD
I know right?! Lets hope he has great stats and doesn’t disappoint like Rampardos.
Please be fast…..or not have paper thin defenses
I pray its not Rampardos
Dragon (two-way relationship)
Flying
Bug
Fire
Ice
This is great! But I don’t want october yet, I have no money! :[
Do you have a 3DS?
Yes, but not even half the money to get ONE version.
I want to get both, as Masuda said they might have different stories and gameplay things.
I agree. I’ve never gotten both version in pokemon before, but I definitely feel that X and Y are drastically different so I wanna get both. My plan is to get X first…and figure out all the details about gen 6, and then get Y later.
I might do that. I definitely want X, but also Y! I will definitely get one first and then the other later :3
My plan was to get both at the same time, but that won’t happen! hahahh
I can’t play 2 games at once xD.
You know, these are the first games I’m considering getting both versions before.. I techinically bought White and Black, but Black wasn’t for me, though I ended up having it back for awhile because he didn’t have a DS ,though he ended up taking it back. You know, on top of that, I also wish we’d maybe expand upon what they did in White and Black, and have different Gym Leaders in each game more of a thing, with different types even.
Lol I feel ya kinda… =I
Same here! lol
me too, but i want pokemon x and y be released on october because im going to find a way to earn money!
