New Pokémon X & Y Rumors: Fairy-type Dunsparce?!

PokéBeach has posted some new rumors that they claim to have received from a reliable source. As always, I post these rumors for discussion purposes only, please do not post them elsewhere as confirmed information or interpret these as me posting information as real.

New Pokémon

  • Trusk & its pre-evolution: Grass/Rock Pokémon with long green tusks and grey skin. Pre-evolution was described as “adorable”
  • Apparachnid: Ghost-type spider Pokémon which appears in caves. It is grey with blue spots and has a glowing abdomen. May have an evolution
  • Quillom: Normal/Poison procupine Pokémon. New attack with a high chance of poisoning. Its skin is white and its quills are purple
  • Badger Pokémon: Name unknown, but it is dark brown with stripes and knows a new biting move
  • Froakie’s Final Evolution: Water/Fighting and resembles a poison dart frog. Uses its legs to attack. Its form gets a bit heavier and it is mostly dark blue now
  • Bunnelby Evolution: Ground/Dark and round. Much larger than it’s pre-evolution
  • Helioptile Evolution: Stands on two legs and has two yellow triangle designs on its face now. Its appearance becomes more menacing and its ears are more rough and there are spikes going down its back. Learns the new attack Thunder Roll
  • Espurr: Pre-evolution of Meowstic, very cute

Competitive Information

  • Chansey-line, Dunsparce, Clefairy-line, and Togepi-line are now Fairy-type
  • Fairy Dust: New attack which causes a random status condition from Paralysis, Poison, Sleep, or Burn
  • A Wailmer game is shown for the Super Training Facility games

Game Information

  • Team Flare is featured at the beginning of the game in a TV segment. They encourage trainers to match their style and Pokémon
  • Opening cinematic in the game is 3D and features the player character watching Yveltal (Pokémon Y?) fly across the sky. More in-game shots follow
  • Xerneas and Yveltal’s 3D models can be rotated using the analog stick on the title screen.

  1. These rumors have a certain flare… I wouldn’t be surprised if the were true actually. My favorite is Helioptiles evolution; can’t wait to see it!
    No Dedenne evolutions have been hinted at so yup @b5e6126bdfbb51ba9693bbfa69c20937:disqus

    Have been waiting to say this but it would have been off topic.
    My Algebra teacher mentioned X/Y today and guess what the first thing that popped in my head? 😛

  2. Trusk- Horrible name, interesting background information.
    Apparachnid- Probably not gonna happen, the name is too long and it seems a bit unusual for a Pokemon name. Nonetheless, another spider Pokemon is always welcome.
    Quillom- Sounds awesome! Reminds me of Cyndaquil for some reason. EXCITED!
    Badger Pokemon- Sounds EPIC! Being a Ground-type reminds me of Sandile, and the new biting attack will be cool as well! Hope it’s real!
    Froakie’s final evo- Too bad there wasn’t a name with it, but EXCITED! GO #TEAMFROAKIE!
    Bunnelby evolution- Reminds me of Lopunny and the typing is FABULOUS! Just like Sandile, and I LOVE IT! May get it on my team 😀
    Helioptile evolution- EXCITED! Hope it gets revealed on Wednesday! The description is awesome, now for the Pokemon itself…
    Espurr- Meowstic is real, so WHY NOT! Can’t wait to see it! ^_^
    Happy about the Fairy retypes, SUPER PUMPED! PS: Gotta get me a Dunsparce!
    Fairy Dust seems like a unique move, so I can’t wait to use it!
    The game details for the beginning of the game sound plausible, and Team Flare’s motives are cool as well! Hope everything here is true!

    • Trusk- Agreed, the name is bleh.
      Apparachnid- I kidna want this to happen, and like I said, the move letter limit went up with Parabolic Charge, so why not with Pokemon names? And it’s a play on paranormal and arachnid…I just find that amusing for some reason xD
      Quillom- Meh, maybe if I see it, I’ll like it more, but the name just reminds me of another quilly friend of ours
      Froakie’s final evo- YES YES YES, makes me doubt what I’m picking (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
      Bunnelby evo- Typing is def fab. Flare fab…..I’m gonna stop right there.
      Helioptile evo- …..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
      …Yes.
      Espurr- Totally a possibility, and I welcome it 😀
      Fairy retypes- Totally thought so (No snubbull? Fine…)
      Fairy Dust- I
      Need
      It!
      I NEED IT NOW!
      Game details- totally agree, but still skeptical on intro, but if it does come true, 😀
      TF- Too cool

  3. I really like this rumour but it has taken most of it’s ideas from other rumours or just what the fanbase speculates/wants. They could be true but I don’t know how credible I take these rumours. If it was the same source then I would say yep true, but apparently it is from a new source.

  4. Assuming for a moment that these rumors have merit:
    Trusk – Ugly name, but pretty decent typing. It sounds like an idea that could’ve been used as a fossil Pokemon, like some sort of mossy mammoth or something
    Apparachnid – Ignoring the character thing, it seems like a cool idea. Surprised it’s not listed as part Bug-type, though. Ghost/Bug would be killer.
    Quillom – Sounds pretty basic. I don’t think I like the abundance of Normal/whatever-types in this Gen, but I can roll with it.
    Badger – Not much to go on 😛
    Froakie’s final evolution – Sounds absolutely awesome. I’m now having a tough time choosing between Chespin and Froakie, even though I was pro-Chespin since its reveal. I’m just not a huge fan of Quilladin, and Frogadier looks pretty sweet.
    Bunnelby evo – Unlikely, in my opinion. I’d rather it be Normal/Ground, just because it’s so cute that I don’t want it to become menacing and Dark-type.
    Helioptile evo – Same thing here; I want it to just stay cute. There are so few cute fully-evolved Pokemon, they almost always have to become big and scary, which is usually good, but Helioptile’s adorable 😛
    Espurr – Also not much to go on

  5. I find it interesting that we do have at least one confirmed regular evolution for an older Pokemon with Sylveon. Which means that there will probably be more…

    Reply
    • Something to think about…
      There should be more, but it seems a bit suspicious that Sylveon is the only one… What does GF have up their sleeve?

      Reply
      • I’ve thought about that for a while, but I really do think Sylveon is the only Eeveelution this Gen. GameFreak is trying new things, after all.

        Reply
        • I hope not. If they have a Fairy-type evolution, a Dragon-type would make sense. I hope that happens. Drakeon (only name that crossed my mind) anyone?

          Reply
          • I dunno, tossing in another Eeveelution this late after the whole Sylveon advertising kick got started would be REALLY anticlimactic. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but look at all the merchandise, etc. that features the Eeveelutions up to Sylveon. It would be weird to just throw another one in there after all this hype.

  6. Assuming these rumors are real…
    Are you all ready for the next Dragon Slayer to be born?

    As an egg, it is as innocent as can be,
    but once hatched, it shall be a ferocious being to all Dragon-type kind!
    It is… Togepi!! And it. Shall. Slay!!!

  7. If these rumors are true, Team Flare must come off as the least intimidating team ever. I bet people in Kalos just think of them as stylists or something.

  8. Since we are 19 days before release, AND it’s a PokeBeach rumor, AND it all seems very plausible, I will believe it. Well, not to mention how gullible I am.
