Mega Evolution: Who’s Next?

This post contains spoilers for Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. The comment section of this post will also contain spoilers for the upcoming games. Do NOT proceed it you wish to avoid details on the game.

When Mega Evolutions were revealed a couple of months back, fans were taken totally by surprise wondering what exactly we were being shown. Now that we understand just what Mega Evolutions are, we’re all guessing what Pokémon could be one of the select few to receive a Mega Evolution.

A while ago our close friend AAPF began researching trademark filings for Pokémon names. This research has previously uncovered Pokémon that have since received Mega Evolutions, and it seems highly likely that more Pokémon from this list will receive a Mega Evolution.

The following Pokémon have all had trademark registrations made for their names since the release of Black 2 & White 2, following the trend of other Pokémon with their names trademarked again there is a possibility these Pokémon will receive Mega Evolutions. Pokémon with a * next to their name have recently been confirmed.

  • Gengar*
  • Jynx
  • Gyarados*
  • Scizor
  • Tyranitar
  • Gardevoir*
  • Medicham
  • Banette
  • Abomasnow*
  • Kyogre
  • Kecleon
  • Latias
  • Latios
  • Pinsir
  • Aerodactyl*
  • Houndoom
  • Groudon
  • Aggron
  • Plusle
  • Minun
  • Sceptile
  • Rayquaza
  • Absol*
  • Heracross

It should be mentioned that this list is not a definitive list of Pokémon that could receive Mega Pokémon, that actual list could be a lot larger, or significantly smaller and we won’t find out until the games release. What Pokémon do you want to receive a Mega Evolution? Let us know!

  1. Since i’m a creative guy I like to do little backstories for each Pokemon Caught and evolve
    Hows this?
    Chespin (plucky starter, loves to explore, strong willed)
    Pancham (scrappy fighter that picks on smaller PKM, picks fights it cant finish
    Bunnleby (fight started by Pan, caught it due to speed and power)
    Tyrunt (fossil revived from Team Flare, Acts like a brat and bites everything)
    Binicle (disturbed a colony, leader evolved and rampaged, caught it to protect team)
    that’s all i got for now…

  2. Masuda is crying every night before bed because his dreams of a world wide release have been crushed…. Poor Masuda

  3. Since the games leaked really early… Makes me wonder if we are going to get another worldwide release. This is why we can’t have nice things!

  4. Have admins said anything about what they think about the leaks? I kinda wanna know what they think of the E4 and Champion…

  5. So a thought on the current lack of legendaries/postgame content

    In the past, some of the methods for unlocking certain areas were either time consuming or just plain oblique. For a recent example, consider the Nature Preserve in B/W2, which required you to see every pokémon in the regional ‘dex. No leaker has managed that so far, so who knows what that might unlock.

    As far as actual pokémon are concerned, do you remember how insanely weird the conditions for unlocking the Regis in R/S were? Or finding Spiritomb? And until the code is hacked and we can see EVERYTHING hidden in there, we’ve got no idea how many secret or event Pokémon are in there that we don’t know about yet.

    There will be more to come. There’s a lot of pessimists out there right now, but there will be more. If nothing else, we’ve NEVER not had a region with a trio and a pixie.

    • I’ve heard that the trio for this region is the legendary birds – has this been confirmed or debunked yet?

      • No pics yet. Even if they are there, it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve had previous gen legendaries in the game. Latias/os have been catchable in a number of games, the legendary birds and Mewtwo were in HG/SS, as were the Hoenn box legendaries. And the Regis and Cresselia were in B/W2, IIRC.

        Plenty of precedent for older legendaries in newer games, no precedent for a lack of regional trio.

        • I honestly wouldn’t mind them roaming in the game as a bonus, I’d just be a little sad if we didn’t get a *new* legendary trio. It’s kind of become tradition! 🙂

      • Didn’t they already do that for platinum? They better make a legendary for them (example: regigigas was made for the regis) so they will have more of a story. But that is probably impossible.

  6. so, thoughts on Kecleon probably getting a mega evo, he was pretty overshadowed in Gen3 but this might make me want to catch one this time around (he was so dopey and cute too)

  7. thanks to science, N3DS can download updates for their games and there is a huge possibility that we may eventually have new Pokemon by this method. If this is true, it is a great marketing strategy and insurance against piracy.

    I hate DLC though…..

  8. My X Team:
    Greninja (Water/Dark)
    Charizard (Fire/(Flying/Dragon))
    Heliolisk (Electric/Normal)
    Sylveon (Fairy)
    Auroris (Ice/Rock)
    Aegislash (Steel/Ghost)

    My Y Team:
    Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting)
    Blastoise (Water)
    Talonflame (Fire/Flying)
    Dragalge (Poison/Dragon)
    Malamar (Dark/Psychic)
    Avalugg (Ice)

    and of course i will do a second playthrough of X featuring a team of the majestic water types….will have to see the fully completed dex and potential Mega’s before i decide on that team though but it will definitely include the Clawitzer that my OCD so painfully restricts me from having in my first X playthrough.
