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!

  2. I feel so much better now, because my friend came over today and eventually got too anxious to hear about the Z legendary and champion, so now we’re emotionally crushed…together.

  3. Ok I need to ask this big question on my mind atm after seeing it in the Kalos dex: Say a trainer (1) has a Shelder, and another trainer (2) one has a Slopoke. Then the trainer (1) shelder bites the slopokes tail and evovles into a Slobro. So now who does the Slobro belong to now, Trainer (1) or Trainer (2)?

      • no insight in the dex entry, but i found it just outside this abandoned looking building. Red gyrados type situation but inside the building? it is right next to the town where the child said he saw a huge one.. Let’s find out.

    • So this guy guides spirits to the afterlife, while the other one is the souls of dead, lost children. Geez, I can just see TheJwitzz’s new Top 10 Creepy Pokedex Entries video any day now 😛

        • Okay, GF, seriously, what the heck? Yamask last Gen was bad, but this is just weird! I like the Pokemon, but I prefer to think that the Pokedex entries are just folk tales… right?

          Speaking of him, I wonder if TheJwittz is going to use Clawitzer in his game? It’s practically screaming his name.

          • Honestly I’m getting tired of every ghost type Pokemon’s dex entry involving some sort of haunting children/guiding spirits bullshit. It’s a pumpkin. Make the dex pumpkin related.

          • Golett and Golurk’s entries aren’t tragic, it was kind of created to be a guardian/heroic Pokemon of sorts. Admittedly, that’s just one, and I can’t think of all of them off the type of my head.

          • Though it’s original dex made it seem like it’s gems might contain souls, but that was glossed over fairly quickly.

          • True. Why can’t it be like-
            Phantump first appeared when people began celebrating Halloween. This fun-loving Pokemon sought to frolic with the children so it disguised itself as a playful jack-o-lantern.

    • A shiny Pumpkaboo. It has to be cause the regular one is black.
      Plus, Josh said he found it in a similar way as Red Gyarados.
      …I’m not the only one who notices this, am I? 😐

    • Oh gosh, it looked so much faster for the non-battle Pokemon to level up without that Stat increase screen showing up! I’m hyped over the little things now!

  4. Mega Gallade, Toxicroak, Typhlosion, Infernape, Bisharp, and definitely Sceptile. We need Mega Sceptile. Grass/Dragon, Grass/Fighting, Grass/Dark, Grass/Steel? Anything that emphasizes the blades, and maybe give Leaf Blade another buff (100 Power, 95 Accuracy?), and another ability like Tough Claws that boosts offensive moves.

  5. Anyone here like me think Pumpkaboo and Phantump are version exclusives. Like Pumpkaboo is exclusive to X and Phantump is exclusive to Y? IDK if so I will deff trade over a Phantump to my X lol

  6. Was Mega Gardevoir ever posted here? I’ve been busy and haven’t seen it when I check back every now and then. I have it, just don’t want to repost it.

  7. Because of how few new pokemon there are in this game, I’m finding it extremely extremely difficult to make a team using only the new pokemon while also having the pokemon that I want!

    Reply
    • Yeah, I ALWAYS do the Grass, Fire, Water trio….I am having to modify that.

      Grass = Florges
      Fire = Delphox
      Water = Dragalge

      They are close enough, and have an affinity for those elements anyway. So I am feeling good about it regardless.

    • That’s the problem with having only 35 fully evolved Pokémon. It’s almost impossible to create a balanced team of only Kalos Pokémon.

      • I always try to have:
        Fire
        Water
        Electric or grass (Preferably both)
        Flying
        Dark or ghost
        And ground (I guess rock will have to cut it this generation)
        I can’t for the life of me figure out how I’m going to do this! At least with a delphox as my starter. You are practically forced to have hawlucha and I’m not overly fond of pokemon that don’t evolve because their stats aren’t typically that great. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

        Delphox- fire/psychic
        Heliolisk- Electric/normal (Should be electric/ground…..)
        Aurorus- Rock/ice (Will serve as my earthquaker)
        Hawlucha- Fight/Flying
        Dragalagae- Poison/Dragon (Will serve as my water type)
        ??? I’d like to use gourgeist but I really want a fairy type. I could have both if I use dedenne as my electric and fairy but is there any confirmation as to if it is any good at all? Have we seen it’s stats? If it’s anything like the other pikachu’s cousins…(-Shudders-) But have we seen it’s stats at all? If it is decent it would really help me out.

        • I’m having the exact same problem! I guess I’ll have to use an old Water-type pokémon, since I’m choosing Chespin as my starter and I’m playing Y (so no Clawitzer)… As I don’t like Barbaracle at all, I literally have no choice…
          To make things easier, Dragalge should stay Poison/Water, Florges should be Grass/Fairy and Dedennne should evolve!

          • And heliolisk should evolve again and be ground/electric and spritzee should have evolved into fairy/flying! Disappointed at these typings gamefreak!!!
