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!

      • Pangoro and Chesnaught share the Fighting type. Same for Tyrantrum and Barbacle sharing Rock type.Diggersby is Normal, which is pretty much useless. (sorry, hate normal) Don’t forget you’ll need to fly! Hawlucha could replace Pangoro for Fighting and could Fly. Barbacle could be replaced by Clauncher/Skrelp (especially Skrelp, if you get Y, because he is a virtual 3 type. You can keep its water moves when it evolves)even though you have Avalugg, who will probably use water type moves.

        • Chesnaught Grass/Fighting
          Malamar Dark/Psychic
          Talonflame Fire/Flying
          Avalugg Ice
          goodra Dragon
          Florges Fairy/…grass?

          Chesnaught and Avalugg are bulky yet weak to fire
          Malamar better know a rock, flying, or fire to deal w/ Bugs
          Talonflame powerful but rocks will conquer it
          Goodra, keep a sludge bomb handy
          and Florges i dunno if grass, fire might screw ya

          Not too shabby

  1. It’s too hard to make my team! Delphox shares too many weaknesses with alot of the new pokémon… And I want them to be just Kalos pokémon and to not have repeated types… I’m having a really hard time x-x

    • I’ll just cycle through pokemon. Catch whatever I like use it for a while then box it until later.
      With the new Exp share it shouldn’t be too hard to level up boxed pokemon so I’ll probably end up with 10 or 12 pokemon to choose from for the elite 4.

  2. As a Naruto fan I can say this is Storm 3 all over again… People
    expected too much from this game (calling it the best game ever and so
    on..), but when info starts leaking, they get dissapointed.. Guys, just
    be happy that Pokemon are still here after so many years of FANSERVICE
    (Yeah, I’m also a Yu-Gi-Oh fan xD))

    • People actually aren’t complaining that much. The only dissapointing things are the reduced number of pokemon and the short postgame, but people here are constantly praising the design of the new pokemon, and all evidence points to a huge pre-league adventure! People have now practically fully expected megas too!

    • You have quite a lot of win in your post.

      Though I’m unaware of Storm 3, people need to calm down, sit for a second and have a grain of salt at hand and brace for things that they might dislike.

  4. Apparently someone found a Raichunite.

    Looking forward to this being real. Mega Raichu should be Electric/Fighting.

  5. ok community, I need your help! my original team for this game was chestnaught, vivillon, aromatisse, arorous, dragalge, and goodra. however, I had to replace goodra because I went in thinking dragalge would be water/poison! what should I replace him with?

  6. Someone on another site that Articuno and Zapdos French names are ArticODIN and ElecTHOR, so it kind of makes sense for the birds to be in the region. Moltres… well, his name has Ra in it, and he is odd man out, but in any case.
