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. Can we delete HMs by ourselves wherever and whenever? I want to use Sigyliph as my Flying Pokémon, but I don’t want it to use Fly in battles because it’s a special attacker.

  2. Wise words from someone on Gamefaq:

    “I’m fine with there being no story. If I want a good story, I read a book.”

    This is true, and not many play Pokemon for the story.

      • Ha ha, no, some reviewers have said that it’s on par with BW’s. Most reviewers have complained about the game not having a strong story, but that just means that it probably wasn’t hyper-dramatic like Final Fantasy. The story of X and Y is probably just the same as it has ever been with the Pokemon games- nice, to the point, but not heart-moving (with the exception being the tear-inducing Mystery Dungeon games).

        • I find the leak about Callem/Serena’s confession to the player about loving him/her to be very heart-warming.

          • It could be heart-warming, but it could also be played out as kind of goofy. Unless the player also reacts lovingly towards the rival, it’s kind of one-sided and not too moving. But it may be a nice touch.

        • As I said hours ago, I would rather have a simple story rather than an over complex story that’s poorly written. There’s handfull of tnose these days.

          • That’s true. FF XIII’s story was super-complicated and I love that game to death, but I can understand why some fans absolutely hate it with its complicated story.

  3. So is it true there is really only 1 new ground, bug, and poison line? Sorry if this has been beaten to death. Just wondering if there are still more nonlegendary pokemon to find for the national dex or something.

  4. Since Josh (who chose squirtle) found the venusaurite and Kanpachi (who chose bulbasaur) found the charizardnite Y…any words if they found the third one?

      • Wasn’t there a rumor that one of your rivals gave you their starter after you beat the Elite 4? Maybe that wasn’t too off the mark.

        Reply
      • Well…for me it isn’t obvious xD…however, Venasaur is stronger than Blastoise and Charizard than Venasaur…so we aren’t talking about the weaker, but the one who’s stronger against the one you chose

  5. Is Cynthia in X and Y? It’d be a shame if these games broke her continuing appearance pattern since her debut.
