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.
We’re now exactly one week away before X & Y release globally next Saturday, and the wait is becoming unbearable. While fans are eagerly awaiting the release date to come about there’s not a huge amount of news for us to cover. However, as most fans are likely aware the final evolutions for the Kalos Starter Pokémon are now known.
While there aren’t a huge amount of details on the Pokémon we received so long awaited information…
Quilladin evolves into the Pokémon Chesnaught. As we speculatively reported back in July the Pokémon resembles a knight in some ways, and features heavy armour all over its body. It is said the armour covering the Pokémon is able to withstand the blast from a bomb. Chesnaught is Grass/Fighting type.
Braixen evolves into Delphox. The Pokémon maintains the almost magical-theme and resembles a witch of sorts. It is Fire/Psychic type and is able to generate temperatures of up to 5,400°F using its psychic powers.
Finally, but by no means least, Frogadier evolves in Greninja. Again, like we posted back in July, Greninja appears to play on a ninja theme, and looks to be an extremely capable Pokémon in battle. Greninja is a Water/Dark type Pokémon.
We’re drawing closer and closer to X & Y and our coverage could start as early as this Thursday. Some of you may noticed but we haven’t followed through with The Journey to X & Y, sadly we won’t be posting any further articles in the series, as big news is likely to hit daily now. Instead we will move articles outside of the #J2XY and continue them after the games have released.

Check back shortly for a special update!
Greninja, Pangoro, Heliolisk, Florges (Or the Ground/Fairy, whichever is better)
And then a Fire type. I’m really hoping for another one to be revealed that I absolutely adore, and then I’ll use Litleo or Fletchling until I get it. Otherwise, I will probably use Pyroar or Talonflame, or maybe the event Torchic. I’m still against using previous Pokemon though.
My last slot depends on my other Pokemon, but I’m most likely to use a bulky attacker. Goodra and Tyrantrum are currently being considered but I’m hoping something I like more comes up (I do really like Goodra though, I just don’t love it.) If I get the Ground/Fairy rather than Florges then this spot becomes even more open, and I will use something I like Aegislash, or maybe Klefki. I’m waiting for the rest of the dex before I finalise my choices.
Anyone have pics of Greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught’s stats?
Does anybody know how to evolve Skrelp yet?!
Josh is still working on it…so nope xD
anyone hoping ur house got two bedrooms now i always wonder where does ur mom sleep

Text: do you want to find out the secret to mega evolution , find out next time on dragon ball z
its a special item they hold. go to pokemon.com and read the interview with the creators
You just ruined it the point of the pun… *facepalm*
Why are people wanting a ground fairy so bad?
I need it for my team, plus a reviewer said there was one…
Maybe she means the Rock/Fairy pokemon?
Is there a link for the pic with every Kalos Pokemon

“Say I’m fat again. I DARE you!” XD I love it!
(Refresh for image)
lol
He destroys us Rouge’s on a daily basis.
He’s more skinny than fat XD
The picture refers to Quilladin and how everyone just called him fat and wrote him off. XD
-Greninja/Delphox/Chenaught
-Florges
-Goodra
-Flying type (i like Talonflame I’m waiting for a better flying type)
-Heliolisk (sad it’s not three-staged but I can live with that)
– idk
Trevenant gets two new moves..
“Forest’s Curse”
“Phantom Force”http://i.imgur.com/NBKYjGI.jpg
Whoa, that attack stat…
are the phantump and pumpkaboo lines version exclusives?
I have no idea
No confirmation yet, but I’d say it’s very likely
I hope not, I like em both (though I want to see Gourgeist’s other form)
There has been confirmation. They’re not. A leaker (Josh or Zar or Kanpachi, can’t remember who) caught them both in the same game,
Wow, really? They look too similar to not be version exclusive! But hey, at least people can catch both more easily now.
They’re like the Shuppet and Duskull of Gen 6! Same type, but both catchable in both games. Trevenant’s line even has one eye!
Ah! Nice callback to gen 3 xD
http://images.wikia.com/smuff/images/9/9f/Hurray.gif
Forest’s Curse I believe is a Grass ‘Soak’
It is indeed!
Forest’s Curse and Phantom Force! That Attack would be really helpful!
Wonder whatn Phantom Force does.
I highly Ghost or Dark type! I bet it’s a physical attack!
99% it will be Ghost with a name like ‘Phantom’ Force. Hrm. Physical strong attack… Got in my head it could be like a Ghost Takedown/Double Edge.
Ok how much time is left til we see Chespin the Mascot in the Pokemon Get TV show?
4 hours….I think..
hey can you add me? my friend code is 2148-8440-5447 and my miis name is kingepic
Yet again, go to the Friend Code Article.
There’s an FC article to post this stuff 🙂
that friend code article needs some love, too
Please guys, don’t put friend codes on here, there is a article on it. I only answered for that one guys to be nice, not to be off-topic…..
Just counting the Kalos Pokemon, I think this will be my first Team in X* (counting pre-evolutions because they eventually will evolve):
Fennekin
Honedge
Inkay
Amaura
Hawlucha
Flabébé
*Team may change as gameplay progresses.
Volcarona would destroy your team…just saying..(the only think that *might* stop it is Hawlucha)
Why would Volcarona destroy Fennekin? or Amaura? Both would take neutral damage at best from them, and Amaura I think may have some good special defenses, and learns rock attacks, which in turn will destroy Volcarona.
Fennekin cant touch Volcarona.
Amaura seems like a supporter/tank to me..
We’ve seen that Amaura has good special attack, and it sure as hell will learn Ancient Power. And okay yeah, but I don’t think Volcarona by turn can really touch Fennekin either, it looks like Fennekin too has a good special defense, and at least both of Fennekin’s stabs will be doing full damage.
I love Volcarona, and a Rock-type move from Amaura will obliterate Volcarona. I know my babies’ weaknesses.
At level 41 Delphox’s average stat seems to be around 400+ :O
I, for one, am ready for some base stats.
For those of you building you building teams right now remember.
Those you don’t use now you can use in the next Game for 6th Gen 😀
(Currently i have no plans on who my main team will be xD might just be as i go.
From more Neogaf lurking I have learned (unconfirmed) that your mother changes skin tone to match what you picked. If it’s true that’s a nice touch!
If she can change hair color, I will die.
It would highly be true! It would be kind of weird to choose the Dark Skin Tone with a Lighter skin toned mom! (Not trying to be rude or anything).
My team (revamped):
#TeamFroakie
#TeamDedenne
#TeamTrevenant
#TeamKlefki
#TeamAegislash
#TBA
Two Steel-types and Ghost-types, OCD ACTIVATED
XD
Froakie to honor our friendship.
Dedenne to honor my love for cute electric-type Pokemon.
Trevenant because it wins the award for Trollfreak’s Pokemon of the Year and because DAT MOVESET…
Klefki because it is one of the most unique Pokemon I’ve ever been honored to see.
Aegislash because the form where is becomes a sword and shield makes it the top looking Pokemon of all time.
And one more, unconfirmed at this point, but probably Water/Flying.
Alright, I guess you win.
😀 <3
But you copied me with Froakie and Aegislash! XD
Guys let’s list all the new attacks we’ve seen/heard so far:
Phantom Force
Forest’s Curse
Mystic Fire
Field moves (Grass, Electric, etc.)
Water Shuriken
and more. . .
EDIT:
Power-up Punch
Mystic Grass (?)
Infestation
Spiky Shield
Flying Press
Unknown shield move (by the key fairy)
power up punch
infestation
spiky shield
Flying Press and some other shield move by Kleifki.
thanks i forgot about the key fairy
Link to Phantom Force and Forest’s Curse?
scroll down the comments section to Orotto’s dex entry.
Trevenant’s moves. So majestic.
I can’t get used to saying Trevenant. I will always call it Orotto.
That’s what I do with every gen V pokemon :p
Trevenant will grow on you, believe me.
Hahaha, a tree Pokemon growing on me.
forest’s curse is like a grass type “soak”
Thank you for that info.
thanks for the info inkalimar
Glow Punch!
Power-Up Punch!
Which is known as Power Up Punch for us. Which, looks like it is a Fighting Move… which makes me wonder, why the HELL was Fennekin using it those months back?
Assist Maybe? They may have taken out the part where it used Assist and went straight to Power-Up Punch.
Well, Deplox has hands. And Wooper can learn Ice Punch, before people say Fennekin was on his paws when he used it.
Baby doll eyes (the new fairy one)
I know theres an electric/ground dual type move and theres flying press too
and all of the others that were revealed before the leaks:
nuzzle
fairy wind
parabolic charge
draining kiss
moonblast
babydoll eyes
noble roar
*play nice*
parting shot
boomburst
topsy turvy
geomancy
oblivion wing
freeze dry
24 moves so far
EDIT: 30
when is game freak of corocoro releasing new news
CoroCoro leaks around the end of next week I believe.
OH! i completely forgot corocoro existed!
We’ve been given more leaks in three days than three months worth of Coro Coro. I don’t blame you
Last coro coro with pokemon news was last month’s issue.
Wrong. Around the 10th or 11th CoroCoro will leak with 20 pages of Mega Evolution information.
20 pages? o.o
When did they say it was 20 pages?
Last month.
http://www.corocoro.tv/pokemon_book/
Even though this states 10/17, it could be similar.
Last month is was around wednesday in the USA when it leaked.
September 11th was when it was leaked
Actually, the pokedex already leaked.
the entire thing?
Maybe less than 5 off, but on 4chan.they leaked it all
Do you remember any new pokemon? Or were they just all old pokemon?
Can you link it?
Link please.
Theres no specific link, they are scattered on 4chan. Im not lying.
I believe you. I just which they were grouped together.
I feel doubtful. Linkers here are catching everything. Maybe you mean the central dex is pretty much full, which is confirmed.
Full or do you mean what the leakers where able to see during their gameplay?
During the gameplay. 4chan lol
If you mean the one by Kanpachi, yeah we know.
Full. 4chan pokemon.
link?
ALL 6TH GEN POKEMON???? OMG LINK!!!
EVERYTHING?!?!
Link me!
bologna without links kthnx
IKR.
Tell me how many are there.
Almost 80.
LITTLE more than 70
I want to know if there are event Pokemon like Red Gyarados in game. I’ve always liked those for some reason. Catching a Pokemon that’s special/part of the game progression or plot is always great (ie: Sudowoodo, Snorlax, Spiritomb, etc)
Well we’ve seen there is a Snorlax blocking a bridge at some point early on, and I think I read you can catch it. New Pokemon, no clue, it looks like they’ve just been catching everything thus far fairly normally.
anyone know if geodude was seen at all. im interested in the possibility of mega golem
That would be pretty cool.
Mega Golem sounds nice.
What time Josh coming back? also maybe today’s new version of Pokemon smash will bring a new trailer of the game or anime
He works from 1-9 PM EST so he won’t be back until tonight apparently
Hopefully phantom force is a strong ghost move cause all we basically got is shadow ball
Yeah maybe with a base 120 power and 1/3 recoil. Hopefully physical.
What’s Phantom Force? I just got up a while ago and have no clue.
And Shadow Claw
