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. I know it’s late, but…

    I thought Honedge would be one of those weak Pokémon that would evolve in the next generation. *Hugs Masuda* Never have I been so wrong.

  3. Sooo, later today (it’s 1:39 a.m here in Connecticut) I’m going to Gamestop to pay off my pre-order for Pokemon X and get me my Shiny Giratina! So pumped! 😀

    • I paid 5 dollars in advance… I’m paying in full the day it comes out. I luckily chose a smaller GameStop then my neighborhood one, so hopefull it won’t be too crowded XD

    • I have to go to gamestop, go to the grocery store so i can add money to my amazon account for the kalose stragedy guide, buy push pins for my board where the kalos map will go, go to the library and… do nothing pokemon related.

      xD YAY

  4. I would love a milotic, jynx, houndoom, Roserade, Camerupt, Liepard, Flygon, Manetric, Lilligant, Persian, Miltank, Vespiquen, Raichu, Luxray, Jellicent and every starter to have a mega. Hell, I might as well just say every pokemon line :p

    Reply
  5. I’m wondering. What changes could Latios/Latias possibly go through with a Mega. What do they need to be improved on!?

    Reply
  6. Well I’m going to sleep… My hype went down after pretty much EVERYTHING was spoiled (although I wanted to be xD)

    Still super excited for X and Y! Don’t worry guys, 5 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes, and 08 seconds to go! Goodnight! <3

    • I’m really excited to battle Diantha. Her main pokemon was fairly surprising, so she seems like a fantastic Champion to battle. I hope she has a mixture of Lance’s and Iris’s battle themes. Good night, though! 🙂

      Reply
      • Her main Pokémon will be Mega Gardevoir, mine will be Mega Mawile. Her favorite (possibly) against my favorite. Hoenn Fairy Pokémon vs Hoenn Fairy Pokémon. But I have the type advantage since Steel is super effective against Fairy. I CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR BATTLE!!!

        Reply
        • Imagine Mega Garchomp vs. Mega Gardevoir. I’m sooo hyped for this game. If there weren’t any leaks of Mega Gardevoir, we’d all be in super shock with it’s reveal.

          Reply
          • Yeah, we would’ve been. But then again, we would have found out before we would have battled her anyway.

          • Speedrunners I guess. But I’d still be very shocked to find out on my own. Admittedly, Mega Gardevoir’s design is mixed for me, but fitting for Diantha in so many ways.

  7. hoen confurrrrmed the z legendary negates both xerneas and yveltal’s aility like rayquaza negating kyogre and groudon’s ability….lol

  9. Gonna go to bed now, guys. I hope the leaks don’t reveal anything about the plot! I seems like it has quieted here as well, so good night everyone. 🙂

    Reply
  10. A question for everyone: Have you ever made it to the Champion without knowing who he/she was and then being surprised once you found out? I have, once. For me, it was Blue in Fire Red. I was new to the Pokémon games and didn’t look up any information about the games (I didn’t have high speed internet at the time and didn’t know anyone posted information about the games on the internet). I also thought that Fire Red and Leaf Green were the first Pokémon games and therefore didn’t even know they were remakes.

    Reply
  11. Wow I’m surprised, there’s a lot of denial on Facebook that Zygarde is the Z legendary, some are claiming it’s fake and that most of the leaks are fake too…..yeah. That’s a thing.

  12. im not sleeping tonight. Its 4am, i work at 11. Fuck it. All nighter.

    Sorry i disappeared, girlfriend came in the room. Saw me playing pokemon, left again.

      • i believe so. and zygarde looks incomplete, so mega zygarde is possible. Mega stone will NOT be called Zygardite. It will have a special mega evolution animation

  13. So I just realized something, if there really is no other legendaries besides the Balance trio (Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde) and eventually event legends than there will only be about 2-3 movies for this generation since Xerneas and Yveltal will more than likely cover the first gen 6 movie and then Zygarde possibly for the second. Does that maybe mean it won’t take as long for a gen 7?

    Reply
    • well if this pattern is correct thereare 4 movies for this gen:
      2013 – XY
      2014 – RS Remake
      2015 – Z
      2016 – DP Remake

      Reply
          • They don’t really have a reason to make DP remakes unless you know there is a new handheld released in 2016 that requires a remake of the 4th gen games but I don’t see that happening.

          • You realize they don’t make a new gen every year right. It’ll be a long time before they get to gen 7 let alone a filler remake game.

          • Exactly, we didn’t have a remake after BW and we waited two years for BW2, we didn’t have a remake for a year and now we have X and Y.Plus they put mostly every Pokemon in the games to make it so remakes are not needed, the only reason they made remakes for Red and Blue was to trade over to RSE and the same for HGSS to trade to DPPt.

          • For past couple years theynhave been releasing new games ever year. DP, PLT, HGSS, BW, BW2 and now XY all a year apart from another

      • I think the DP remake would take a while longer…. I think.. Maybe they’re continueing with the line of part 2, cuz with BW it really sold!! Me personally thinks part 2 is much better and stronger.. Completer, so maybe..

        Reply
          • No Pokemon game is bad…well aside from Ruby and Sapphire in my opinion due to a few short comings but Emerald make up for those faults. But other than those none of the Pokemon games are bad and we still play them even when they have a few faults.

      • Let’s hope sequel because we really don’t need remakes. Some people are going to disagree with me but I would rather see a sequel that has a completely new story and evil team (because Magma and Aqua were okay but they had more potential to be great).

        Reply
        • I agree with you too. Seeing Team Magma and Aqua learn nothing and trying to accomplish their goals once again in a weak fashion won’t be enjoyable for anyone.

          Reply
    • Now, I know this is all complete speculation, but what if Generation VI will be divided into three parts.

      1. X/Y/Z Arc
      2. Hoenn Remakes/Sequels Arc
      3. Conclusion of the Black and White Arc

      We are already familiar with the first two. But for me personally, I feel that the Black and White Story never reached a conclusion. We still don’t know what the Tao Trio Master is, and we’ve been told about the Original Dragon (by Drayden), but we’ve never seen it. B2/W2’s strory felt a bit weak to me. There’s still no answer to what is more important, seeking out the truth or ideals? Obviously it’s both, but that was never addressed in the games. And I’d like to see N come back and have Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem be reuinited with each other. Not only that, but imagine how powerful the Original Dragon would be. Obviously it’d be too powerful because its BST would be over 700, maybe even higher than Arceus’. But, that is where Mega Evolution comes to play.

      Reply
      • I could see this but it would be a bit strange to randomly have an ending game for the Black and White saga in gen 6. I personally would love to know more about the Original Dragon or Reshekrem or whatever it’s called but I can’t see them making a conclusion for Black and White a gen later.

        Reply
        • Yeah I guess. They could at least have an in-game event that involves transferring the Tao Trio to X and Y. I imagine that each of them would have to hold a Mega Stone and then you use the DNA Splicers in order for all three to fuse together. I think that would be pretty cool!

  14. If a lot of Hoenn Pokemon get Megas, I know everyone’ll be saying ‘Hoenn confirmed’, hahaha
    I wanna see….well anything, just the designs really

    (Side note, saw Zygarde, that’s a legendary that’ll have to grow on me, Noibat is found pretty late right? And the champion, saw that coming)

    Reply
        • Hoenn had really great starters (at least for the time it was relevant), but it had a lot of slow and nearly unusable/filler Pokemon (competitively). And, there weren’t a lot of really great type combinations (retrospectively). I really don’t see all the fuss about the “Hoenn hype”.

          I’ve been playing Pokemon since Gen 1 and I feel like each generation adds more to the complexity of the series as a whole and this generation (although a quite shallow in expectations) will be great.

          There is still potential for more things to come this generation. We haven’t experienced a generation on the 3DS (and Gamefreak loves to send us “wildcards”) so who knows what will come next…

          Reply
      • I’ve notice that every odd number generation release the most Pokemon, so I’m hoping that generation seven release over 150. The remake would be cool but I would love to see more random weather effects, and hideouts return.
