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!

    • I think its the build up of things.

      The one that became mega had reached its peak. ANd it was a known peak for awhile. So it found the strength to mega evolve.

      As far as game freak is figuring that out.
      I think they are thinking “The Kalos exclusive pokemon need to grow up some before they can handle mega”

      This can be resolved with “Pokemon Z”

      PLUS. newer pokemon still need to find popularity in the pokemon fan community. And right now were are just meeting them.

    • Most definitely, I think. It probably isn’t too hard to edit two rocks into the game. If I was GF though, I wouldn’t have made such specific ways to make them evolve, because they’re stuck incorporating the rocks again into every other Pokemon game now.

        • The same goes for the ones that evolve in certain gaves, like Probopass and Magnezone. We’ve seen them retcon Feebas’ evolution, but I don’t want them doing that too often.

          Someone brought up that Amie needs to be in every game now that we have Sylveon evolve through it, so I guess by the same logic we’ll need the M/I Rocks in every game along with the magnetic cave.

      • Well now they have to have POkemon-amie or something similar in every game to get Sylveon! or they could just pull a milotic and make a new item

  1. I reaaaally hope that people start finding mega stone quickly… its making me sad not seeing any new ones :[, My Mega Chandelure needs to be spotted <3

    • That’s an unusual one that I haven’t seen mentioned much. I love myself some Chandelure though, so I could definitely see that.

  2. I’ve seen a bunch of teams being listed, but is anyone going to challenge themselves in any way? Monotype, no evolution, Nuzlocke sort of challenges?

    My X will have my preplanned team, but my Y will have some sort of challenge incorporated. I’m thinking of doing a semi-nuzocke thing where I can only catch the first Pokemon that I run into in each location, but I’ll ignore the permadeath rule. It might make the game interesting.

    • My friend is doing a sort of Nuzlocke, which is exactly like your semi-nuzlocke idea. He thinks that it will be more like an adventure that way.

      Reply
    • I will probably do a challenge I made for my second run of X. It is like a nuzlocke but there is no death clause. I can only catch the first Pokemon on each route (dupes clause being active), I cannot use items I find on the ground aside from TM’s and I have to sell them immediately, and I am only allowed to buy 5 of each item at a Pokemart.

  3. 4chan is currently discussing how ‘huge’ forms like the giant Gourgeist may only be available on occasions (like Halloween). Kind of like how MMORPGs do events. How would you guys feel about that?

    Reply
    • Maybe if it’s a better version of the small form and not just the same thing but bigger I would be okay with it. Not to sure about people who love to catch em’ all as that would mean they would have to wait until Halloween. Then again they could just change the date… I would like it.

      They already did this with Drifloon, I always seemed to miss them xD

    • I think it’s just like those fishing huts where they tell you how big your Magikarp is, and then after they tell you your Magikarp is too small and make you feel emasculated, you realize that there really is no difference in size and they’re making it all up. There is no real giant Magikarp.

      Reply
    • I would love there to be more in game variables and strategies (or pure luck), involved with catching a larger Gourgiest. I hope it’s similar to a feebas hunt, and that there are other formes, small, medium, large, giant, ect. Each more rare as it become larger.
