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.

This is what Mystic Fire says- “A clumn of fire hits the target. When used with it’s GRASS EQUIVALENT, it’s damage increases and a vast sea of fire appears.”
We can guess that there’s Mystic Water and Mystic Grass moves much like the trio pledge moves.
thats fire pledge
ok
No that’s the description for Fire Pledge
k thanks
no thats fire pledge
thanks
No, it was highlighted on Fire Pledge when that was pulled up.
thanks lol
How many field moves so far?
2 I think, just the electric and grass ones…but I think I heard somewhere that there was a fog-esque field effect..
Thanks. I know I saw that fog move somewhere.
There’s a Grass-type weather effect? What is it?
No clue, just remember hearing about it.
I can’t wait to immerse myself into the plot and hopefully the truth behind Pokemon is revealed in Kalos or the next region or better, the combination of the timelines the Revelation of The Origin.
Wait what? What do you mean truth behind Pokemon?
Let nue see if i can find a link to the pokedex….
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380972586866.png
Bearrrttiiccccccccc!
This isn’t the complete dex, it’s just all the pokémon leaked so far in a single pic. Thanks anyway. 😉
Plus, this is definitely not anywhere near the top amount of Mega’s in the game, especially as there are a handful we’ve heard about but not seen yet, like Mega Gardevoir being mentioned in a review.
Yeah. I think someone posted that Galventula, Haracross, and Scizor get mega-evolutions.
Slow news slump
Slow leaks slump XD
I just found this.
“Kanpachi used a grass type move on a trainer’s Goodra in an attempt to test for being part-water ,Sap Sipper activated.”
😮
Sap Sipper…. wut
so what does this mean?
It has Sap Sipper
what is sap sipper
It absorbs grass attacks and boosts attack, making it immune to grass.
Whenever the opponent uses a grass type attack on you, your attack stat goes up by one and no damage is done.
its a probable grassdragon type
Not necessarily. The majority of Pokemon to have it are not Grass types at a ll.
yes but it would be cool to see a grassdragon
Although Grass/Dragon is something I would love to have, I doubt it would be Goodra.
well then
grass and dragon 😮
if that’s the case, only someone clueless to types would use a grass move against it anyway…so the ability isn’t all that useful.
That doesn’t negate it’s usefullness when someone is using a grass type move switch in etc
Also works well against Spore/LS etc
Note, this is second hand information, but given the nature of Kenpachi’s links, I don’t think we can check it directly, being on Something Awful.
Wow, that’s… Unique to say the least. This gen just keeps getting better and better
Sap Sipper? That’s nice…
If it really is Dragon/Grass, then it’s about freaking time!
Freaking out in a good way or bad way?
In a good way. It’s about time they make Dragon/Grass.
Now they a Dragon Bug
Yes. That is the number one new type combination I want to see in X and Y!
I don’t know why that makes it part Grass, only 4 Pkemon that are Grass types have it, and two of those are half normal, the majority of Pokemon to have it are normal types, and are generally grass eating animals, and we have water types with it.
it’s also a crappy ability to have if you are 4x resistant to grass.
THANK GOD! It’s about time, YES! AMEN
Watch out for Ice, but I would still get it!
Dragon/Grass that means i wont be able to use it I already have Chesnaught, and i hate copying types with my starter.
me too which is why i was worried about chespin becoming a posable dark type when i want pangoro in my team
But Pangoro (Dark/Fighting)is part fighting just like Chesnaught (Grass Fighting)…
It may also mean that Goomy may have abilities Hydration and Sap Sipper from the start.
it does goomy can have hydration but its just a dragon type
He meant Sap Sipper.
Guys, this doesn’t mean it’s part grass. Most Pokemon who have the ability aren’t grass at all because Sap Sipper generally stands for that it’s something that EATS Grass. This is just stating that it has this ability, so if it is a Dragon/Water type, that means using that on it would be useless for the Neutral Damage. Plus, that thing does not look like a Grass Type by any stretch of the imagination.
Water/Dragon seems like the most plausible type combo, seeing as it learns Rain Dance and other moves akin to that theme.
If it were Water/Dragon a grass type move would just do normal damage since Dragons resist grass (X0.5) and Water is weak to it (X2) = X1
Yes, but that also means if a grass attack did normal damage on Goodra, then we’d know that yes, it’s Dragon/Water, which is his entire reason for doing the attack. Because we don’t know what it’s second type is, if it has one. Wonder if he had an electric type on hand.
This is true. I didn’t think of that lol. Hope he tries a Poison or Steel to test the Fairy hypothesis.
According to ProVictini’s videos Snorlax blocks a bridge, berries return, and other such things.
Really Late..
he’s actually only a day or so late, iirc all the info leaked 2 days ago was uploaded yesterday by him
thank you chippy.
np.
Racapping… I’ve been reading the comments since day 1 so yeah… really late…
all revealed on the 1st day of leaks
I know. I’m trying to recap everything so I stay on track.
why sererbii did not confirm this?
Because…reasons.
For legal reasons serebii can’t talk about.
Legal reasons. They were almost shut down in 2010 because of posting leaks of B/W.
Legal reasons.
Unless it comes form an official source
– Magazine
– Actual Company
It won’t be talked about
Screenshots from a game that isn’t technically out right now doesn’t count
I still think Goodra will be Dragon/Fairy. Sap sipper doesn’t mean grass type.
yeah me too
I am also having a hard time seeing where the grass type would come into play. Grass types are usually a little more identifiable
right? no plants or flowers coming out of there lol
i agree
Yeah good point.
Dragon/Water-type.
Missing pokemon from the Kalos dex’s
http://pastebin.com/XxfPgw2e
uh oh, the torchic giveaway has me worried!
GEN 3 REMAKE CONFIRMED XD
;D
It’s awful that this pokemon didn’t appear. My two favorite pokemons are in that list T_T. Claydol and Bronzong.
Ninetails Jigglypuff and DRAGONAIR???!?!?!?! NO!!!!!
I’VE JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL TELLING ME THAT MY GAME HAS BEEN DISPATCHED!! 😀 Already!!!!! I am so excited!! I should have it by Monday as stupid post doesn’t deliver on Sundays :(!
BUT POKERMANS! 😀
(Refresh to see image)
Oh yeah!
YEEHAWW!
OH GOSH x.x The benefits of ordering online xD
Delphox: Level 41
Atk: ?
Def: 70+
Sp. Atk: 105
Sp Def: 106
Speed: 108
Greninja: Level 36
Atk: 78
Def: 57
SP. Atk: 99
SP. Def: 58
Speed: 101
From this I would estimate that Delphox is nearly perfectly balanced since you know she’s a Mage and Greninja might out perform Delphox SP. Atk wise.
Yeah it seems Delphox might be the most balanced out of the 3 this gen
lol read this- “The three stats we can see, though, make it look reeeeeally balanced.
Did GF finally just say “Eff it, we can’t make them happy. Let’s make fire starters reign supreme!”?
cool but I doubt Delphox has better speed than Greninja.
Delphox is at LV41 so revert it to LV36 and it’s most likely slower.
There’s a 5 level gap…
It’s a shame Secret Bases aren’t back.
“Phantom Force is literally Dig for Ghosts. The ability my Phantump has is Natural Cure.”
OHHH. Thanks Chippy.
Dig for ghost. That’s… disappointing.
It could have another alternative affect as well? Who knows!
If it works like Shadow Force, then it’s not that bad, because it actually hits through protects, for instance.
If it works like Shadow Force with protect, then I’m happy, but we need better Ghost physical moves, IMO.
me too
well we have to see everything first.
Don’t we already have a dig for ghosts, Shadow Force
Then this is the regular Pokemon version, not the legendary exclusive version.
Eh…
We’ve had that before. Psystrike the stronger unique move for Mewtwo vs Psyshock, the weaker more general purpose version for everyone else.
Phantom Force better be a TM
I hope it is too.
I’ve been speculating about a ghost type fly/dig for a long time. I’m so happy that I was right!
Nice! Where’d you get that info from?
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-xy-leaks.3489007/page-99
Oh, thank you. :]
Who learns Phantom Force? Sorry I’m a bit behind on leaked info today
EDIT: Nevermind I just looked at your link below.
I’VE JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL TELLING ME THAT MY GAME HAS BEEN DISPATCHED!! 😀 Already!!!!! I am so excited!! I should have it by Monday as stupid post doesn’t deliver on Sundays :(!
BUT POKERMANS!!!!!! 😀
(Refresh to see image)
Didn’t you just post this?
Ah sorry, I didn’t think it went through. Then I found a mistake, deleted it and cancelled it. Chill out guys. There’s only one here now. -_-
I’ve done that before… It’s okay.
“Chill out Guys” We weren’t even mad…
I don’t recall saying that you were. I said chill out about the repeat post as I have deleted the old one and replaced it with one that has been corrected.
Lol i know sorry
we heard. nice
Deja Vu
this Monday or the Monday after the release?
This Monday coming! The 7th! 😀
You must leak a lot for us! Take some videos too! 😀
XD i think by the time he gets it we’ll have all the leaks we could get..
I was thinking the same, but if there is anything new that I notice and the leaks are still ongoing, I will try and join in as much as I possibly can! 😀
Just be sure to enjoy it for yourself too xD
I definitely will, and thanks! 🙂
No Problem 😀
I sometimes feel bad about the leakers.
Hoping the are doing the leaks for the joy of the game and not for our own sake.
Sooo if I order right now you think I’d get it on Monday too???
Who knows! I guess if ShopTo.net have dispatched mine already, they might dispatch yours now! Do you live in the UK like me?
ohhh UK. Nah I live in the US. I guess I’ll have to wait to the 12th like everyone else.
Oh -insert rude word here- ! Why do I keep ordering from Amazon? lol darn, but congrats for you!
I’ve learned my lesson to never to order any pre-orders from Amazon. 😛 They are fine for things that are already out, but try and get something on the release date and you’re going to have a bad time.
*insert South Park meme here*
Lol I know. I’m a glutton for punishment. I paid for release day delivery for Black 2 and was FUMING when it got here a day late 🙁 However, credit to them, they did get AC NewLeaf out on time! Will have to try ShopTo next time.
I can honestly not credit them enough. I’m a Gold Member and have been for years. I can say in all honesty that I have never received a pre-order less that a day BEFORE the actual release date. I received ‘New Super Mario Bros. 2’ 4 days before the release date, and even more recently, I received ‘Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix’ 3 days before the release date.
They are so great and their prices are so cheap with no delivery charge! 😀
I wish I lived in the UK now 😛
You are so lucky! :O You might be the game ahead of us by 5 days!! Which starter are you going to use?? (Please say Chespin) There is no way that the game is going to arrive after or on the 12th! :O
Lucky!
You should also take the game to your class to play, lol.
Welcome back Jordin!
I never left… Or did I? 😛
I know! I didn’t even expect it. I definitely am choosing Chespin. I chose him on January 8th when we saw them all – and I fell in love with him! When Quilladin was announced I was a tad disappointed, but then when they leaked Chesnaught I was like, “ohaieuheouhveilahvh”.
I’ll definitely be taking it to school… Hahaha. I know all of my students will be extremely envious! 😛 Also, welcome back Jordin! Nice to see you again!
I wish I was one of your students so bad! Me too! You better post some (rather a lot) of Pokemon-Amie shots!! Same story with me. There are no words to express my love for Chespin!
When was I gone? XD
I hadn’t seen you post for a while, or perhaps I just missed it – hahahaha.
It was probably the latter xD I’m going to get mines on the 12th from GameStop :
Midnight release!? I’m thinking of doing the same here in the UK for Pokémon Y, so I then have both.
I haven’t checked my local store yet, but hopefully!
Me too! I preordered mine the day after January 8th. Best. Late. Birthday. Gift. Ever.
Could you please just let us know one thing – how soon it is possible to trade. I don’t see that anyone else has mentioned it yet. I’d be so grateful xD
If it’s not announced before I get it, then absolutely. I would personally take a guess and say once you receive your Pokédex as that is when you are able to receive the Event Torchic.
Thank you!! 🙂 That’d be fantastic. I hope you’re right – I hated the 5th gen rule of waiting till you get your first badge!
This made me cancel my current preorder and order it from the same store you did. TOO LAZY TO WAIT UNTIL THE 12th.
OMG!! My Disque is 150+
disque?
typo i meant disqus
oh thanks for clarifying
np
I never doubted Chespin…Chesnaught ftw
I never doubted any of the starters. The only time I ever hated a starter was Delphox but now it has warmed up to me.
Me too but i liked chespin the most
can someone give me an idea for a water type please im choosing fennekin and bulbasaur
Clauncher?
Clauncher or Skrelp, Barbancle. Lapras.. and others.
Skrelp or clauncher
Clauncher
<——-
I say go with goodra he can learn surf anyway
does anyone think i shuld pik Squirtle instead
Nah, Venasaur is cool
alright then thanks ugh but picking a water type will be really hard 🙁
Lapras and Clauncher are the tops of my list.
Im seriously thinking of going into hibernation until the 12th
Don’t!!! We need you!
Just for u too
We need you!!
Alright but just for u guys
Don’t hibernate. Do all the things that you won’t do after Pokemon XY comes out!
Avalugg stats http://i.imgur.com/csyPJ77.jpg
It better learn Icicle Crash
GF logic you can’t always trust it.
I hope it does, otherwise it might have nothing good for Physical STAB.
thanks Chippy (I’m loving that nickname). 😀
Thanks
Lovin the ability
INSANE atk and def.
This post got way outta hand fast, hahaha
ikr?
I was hoping they were fake. Even the fakes looked WAY better. Really disappointed. Usually a starter is instantly drawn to me but this time, their finals look terrible.
I finally got used to them today! 😀
2 of them looked awful to me when I first saw them, but they grew on me surprisingly quickly. Give it time and you may change your mind!
Dude, chill.
…that idea needs to be published! D:
lol 😀
Let them grow on you. The world isn’t ending tomorrow,
It’ll take a few days to get used to them. They’re the most solid starters IMO
I do admit I hated Greninja, but he soon grew on me. I just wish he looked more like a frog
Its like deja vu for some back when the 5th gen evos were revealed.
Alot of people got mad.
And i liked them all alot owo…
You and me both! I feel like I am the only one who likes all of the starters this gen…. :C
I do too…
Yay! My rival likes them too!
:D, I will still beat you in any match ever!
We’ll see about that!
I love them
I love all of them especially Delphox
I just realized I’m gonna get a bunch of comments saying they love them all. I am happy. Very. Happy. 😀
I love them all
I guess Ill have to get used to them. I was so looking forward to Fennekin until I saw its final. Now I have no idea who to pick. I guess Chespin although it has many weaknesses.
So many weaknesses? Chesnaught might have a couple of weaknesses, but you shouldn’t turn it down because of that.
Does anyone know if starly will be available in the game
No, but if I had to guess it would be in Central Kalos!
Alright do you have any ideas for any flying types
Of new Pokemon or older Pokemon?
dosent matter
Fletchling (and it’s evolutionary line), Noivern, Vivillon, etc.
I’ll just get Togepi and evolve it into Togekiss
“It looks like Kanpachi found a Pixie Plate, i.e., Fairy Arceus is confirmed. ” It was expected
Thanks Chippy.
You’re welcome c:
Guy thanks for updating us! (unless you’re a girl, then thanks girl!
Just to clarify I am a boy
You’re welcome c: and I am a guy
and I am the girl between you two now
Lets make this a double stuff oreo xD
Im a girl too
wow
Just gonna cut in here and make it a triple layered Oreo
Boy 😛
Oak: “Are you a boy or a girl? A boy huh? Are you sure?”
no but we will leave it at that ok Oak
Pixie Plate. I like
I find it hilarious how Arceus didn’t have 17 plates circling around him in Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
:O it was because of the Grass, Electric, and other plates being used to restore life.
Thus Xerneas was born :O
“Dead people and Pokemon had no-where to go. So, for many eons the dead roamed. Soon thee world was crowded and the living hated the dead so Yveltal was born.”
ZOMBIES CONFIRMED
Shedinja is a Zombie. Zombies Confirmed since Ruby/Sapphire.
Yeah where was Xerneas when it was needed most?! Some deity of life!
Probably hanging out with the other three stags if you know what i mean.
Ahhhhhhh Snnnap!
But one of the Characters of the Day, the new guy, mentioned that before he created the Jewel of Life with the Grass, Water, Ground, Electric, and Dragon Plates, he all 17 plates before. LOL no Pixie Plate.
OHHH!!! LOLOLOLOLOL
Because Retcon. Can’t read too much into it.

Sorry. Just couldn’t help it. Refresh if you don’t see the image.
Can somebody calm me down please? The excitement is agony!!! I LOVE ALL THREE OF THEM 😀
here take this “chill pill” oh take this glass of water too
What I really need is Drowzee or Hypno to use hypnosis on me SEVEN TIMES! But I don’t want them to eat my dreams about this upcoming new adventure with new Pokemon 🙂
Calm down and look at pictures of cute puppies and kittens or whatever your favorite animal is 🙂
