Mega Evolution: Who’s Next?

by

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. Though I originally wanted to stay away from spoilers, the fact that only 69 new pokemon appear completely removes aby guilt. Good thing I’m going blind plot-wise! So, the final number of pokemon is 69. Since the game is unhackeable, we can bet on having one or two event legendaries hidden in the game. And who knows , maybe there will be new pokemon as dlc? Even better, though this would be wishful thinking, what if there were 30-40 new pokemon hidden in the game, not avalaible until Z? That would be a great hype strategy because it would make the third version truly worthwhile! All that we can be sure of is due to the lack of possible hacking, we can expect loads of ” mew under the truck” rumours about secret megas and pokemon.

  7. Hopefully the pic uploads, but it looks like Dragalgae has decent offenses, and even with a sp def reducing nature, high sp. def. Which seems a bit odd on a poison pokemon.

      • Leveling up while knowing Camoflague, and Clauncher evolves leveling up with Crabhammer. But both Pokemon must be at least lv. 37

    • They should just list all their attacks, and base stats in the near future. That way we will see what GF has come up with. So far, each Pokemon this gen seems to focus on at least two main points in the skill section or are very balanced.

  9. Good morning! I’m guessing most people went to sleep now?
    Well anyway, one thing I had to notice is that a lot of new Pokemon and Mega Evolutions are rather slow! Perhaps Trick Room will see more use this gen!

  11. So is the only 70 new Pokemon confirmed?

    Because two things are telling me that that might not be the case. One is the Ground/host and Ground/Fairy that we got from that reviewer. They may have thought that Golurk was new and meant Rock/Fairy, but personally I don’t think so.

    The other is this list: http://pastebin.com/UVxpjrXz

    Still a LOT of blank space near the end of the dex. Are we really suggesting that none of it is going to be filled by new Pokemon?

    (Oh and three of the trademark names haven’t been revealed yet that’s a third thing I just remembered).

    If 70 is 100% confirmed then fine, I’m OK with that, but I think we may yet have a few more coming our way.

    • As far as I know, it is. The only Florges I’ve seen grew up from a yellow flower Flabebe, so it may have different colors. Maybe someone will figure it out before release. If not, then we just have to wait. I believe Flabebe evolves at level 19, then with a Shiny Stone, so getting Florges should fairly simple.

  21. By the way… is it confirmed which are the types of the elite four? I’ve heard steel, fire, water and dragon. Which pkmn do they use? And what’s aabout the champion?

  23. I think I’ve decided on my team!
    I’ve been #TEAM_FROAKIE from the start, so he’ll be my starter.
    The second I saw Pancham I fell instantly in love, he’s so great.
    I wanted a Fire type on my team, I always as a rule of thumb keep to a strict Water/Fighting/Fire/Electric (or Grass) core in my teams. But I have really, really struggled to find a Fire type I like. I like Fletchinder, but Talonflame is a little meh for me. Pyroar is also a little boring for my tastes. So I’ve turned to Mega evos, breaking my “No non Kalos Pokemon” rule. I figure a Mega evo is new enough to warrant it. And I’ve gone for Mega Blaziken. As a Mega Fan (haha see what I did there XD) of Combusken, it’s kinda my duty really!
    When I saw Helioptile, I liked him, but I didn’t love him. Now that feeling has grown and I really do like him. Seeing Heliolisk was what decided it for me. He went straight to my team.
    I want to try a Fairy type in XY. I knew that as soon as the type was revealed. They’re new, they’re powerful, and I’m definitely looking forward to it. But for some time, I had difficulty finding one liked. Once I saw Floette that spot was pretty much filled, I was just waiting for its evolution to cement it, and Florges has done that. Flabébé may be a little meh in my opinion, but its evos are great, so I don’t mind at all!
    My final slot is going to be filled by Noivern. At first I didn’t really like him, but over the past few months he has crept up on me. I didn’t even realise that I actually really like the design until looking at it today! I think it helps that I really like Noibat too, he’s so adorable. I think I remember reading that Noibat is catchable pretty late though, so I will probably use Fletchling to start with, replacing it with Tyrunt/Goomy when I find them, finally finishing with Noibat when I see it.

    So my team is: Greninja, Pangoro, (Mega) Blaziken, Heliolisk, Florges, Noivern

    • my team that i have been planning since june is: Greninja, Pyroar, Noivern, Sylveon, Malamar, And Heliolisk! It was hard planning my team! especiaally since i didnt even know what the evolutions were or in sylveon’s case how to evolve it.but i loved the struggle of making my team because i feel that is the best part of any pokemon game. #TEAMFROAKIE
