CoroCoro and SPP Confirm New MegaEvolutions

The November issue of CoroCoro has leaked and officially revealed/confirmed some Mega Evolutions, the starter’s final evolutions, and more!

Mega Evolutions

  • Mega Gengar – Not an exclusive, gains the ability Shadow Tag but keeps its typing
  • Mega Aggron – Exclusive to Y, becomes pure Steel-type and gains the ability Filter
  • Mega Tyranitar – Exclusive to X and keeps the ability Sand Storm as well as its original typing

 Garchomp Serial Code

In next month’s issue of CoroCoro there’ll be a serial code that will give you access to their special Garchomp. This Garchomp holds a Dragon Fang, knows Crunch, Dragon Claw, Dig and Draco Meteor. The location of its Mega Stone will also be revealed in the next issue – that is, if we don’t find it first.

UPD: New Mega Evolutions

Thanks to Serebii we now have some new information and pictures of previously unknown evolutions. Details in the spoiler box.

[spoiler]

  • Mega Pinsir – Bug/Flying-type and has the ability Aerilate which turns Normal-type moves into Flying-type moves, X exclusive
  • Mega Heracross – Stays Bug/Fighting, has the ability Skill Link, Y exclusive
  • Mega Banette – Stays pure Ghost-type and has the ability Prankster
  • Mega Medicham – Stays Fighting/Psychic and has the ability Pure power

Apparently at some point in the game Professor Sycamore will upgrade your Mega Ring so that it can detect hidden Mega Stones. They are only detectable, however, between 8pm and 9pm.

  1. Those official arts of the starters are awesome! I loved all 3 from the beginning but was least fond of Delphox. Now, she’s right next to the other two for me!

  2. I think I like their design-norm for some mega-evolutions, which is random wing-like things going out of the body. It may seem bland to see same thing in most of them but I love how there is a certain style like how they gain those things when they have their full-potential. It’s something like some psychic types having gems. You know what I mean.

  3. No No No No No No No NO NOOOO !!! ;(((( GAME FREAK! Why you do this to me ??? Why you made chespin look like… not Chespin ;( …. Just….Why?

  4. Oh my god I need both versions!
    I already wanted them but
    MEGA TYRANITAR!

    Are they LITERALLY exclusives or their MEGA STONES can only be found in the different games?

    • If you are getting Y, I can help you out, but I can’t give Mega Charizardite X, reserved that for a friend of mine in exchange for a treecko.

  5. thers many thing bothering me here Tyranitar – Exclusive to y not to x (from serebii) and mega gengar has shadow tag ability not the same

    • I want to know how all these people are getting shinies. Is it possible through Pokemon-Amie? These are the things I want to know.

      Reply
    • This looks a tad fake to me. There’s a splotch of light blue on the upper right leg that seems out of place. I do like the colors though. But if this is legit, I wish the owner had taken photos of Froakie and Frogadier as well.

      Reply
    • “Can you please explain to me how you think the shiny Greninja is fake?”

      A question i was asked on tumblr after saying that it looks fake. Here is my reasoning.

      Because it looks like a poorly edited screenshot to me. The fact that it changes two of his colors, (the pale yellow, and the blue) into the exact same black seems off to me, and has never been done in a shiny (making two separate colors the same one that is.) Also along the same lines is that the white on his body and the lighter blue on the back of his head do not even change color and seeing as how dramatic the other color change is that also seems off. Another reason is that in his tongue scarf there is literally no shading and when you get closer to the top edge of the black line of his sprite you can see thin lines of the original pink that is his normal tongue color. The tongue look as though it was poorly colored over using a photo editing software hence the lack of shading and the colors not going all the way to the lines.. The color scheme is also quite awful and poorly thrown together. Is that enough reasons?

      Reply
      • Yeah, I think this is fake too. Though they did change two colors to the same color at least twice. Shiny Magnemite’s (and Magneton’s) magnet tips become the same color as the magnet itself. Still, what you say about the tongue definitely sounds like a good point. Faaaake.

  6. Gengar continues to look like it is not levitating. But, oh, ground moves can hit beedril, venomoth, and dustox…
    Minor complaint!

  7. Serebii says Tyranitar is exclusive to Y and Aggron is exclusive to X, however i’m now hearing that the Tyranite(?) can only be found in X and the Aggronite(?) can only be found in Y. Have Gamefeak just trolled us, or has someone made a mistake?

    Reply
  8. Is anyone else thinking theres a new way to get shinies? I’ve seen a lot of new shinies and I must admit they look real, and they have multiple sources. I hope there is because I want atleast one shiny on my team.

    Reply
  9. guys are thought the pokedex thats reveled by serebii is include all pokemon ? i mean we dont get any new legendary event?

  10. Here’s something to think about:

    Christopher Columbus found land on the 12th of October. We are going to find land on the 12 of October as well! 😀

    Anyway, this issue leaked so early! (5 days)

    The official art makes them look even better!
    Guess I’m getting Mega Aggron! 😀

    Reply
  11. Here’s a quick opinion/analysis on these Megas:

    Tyranitar looks beast. I like the way he gets those tentacle-spike-wings-thingies and looks much bulkier and powerful. His chest/belly looks like a mean, menaning face, too, and I like it! His tail also gets bigger and is more menacing too. Imagine being Dragon Tail’d by that thing! HURTS!
    I also noticed most megas get more extreme details such as flames coming out of their wrists/mouth and spikes EVERYWHERE! I like it.

    Now Aggron’s a interesting one.
    He always gave me the idea of a strong, bulky, protected pokémon with that awesome Iron armor, but I always felt that his armor wasn’t really that…armor-ish(?).
    With this Mega Evolution, though, his armor looks bigger, heavier, STRONGER, and also is in most parts of his body! His tail looks heavy and he gets horns on his arms, too! It looks like he has a shell now and his helmet is awesome! It appears he’ll be standing on four legs now, and that’s pretty…Weird? Can’t say I don’t like it, ’cause I do, but It’s a pretty nice touch to it. HEAVY ARMOOOOR!

    And finnally, Mega Gengar.
    They pretty much changed all of his body, and I’d say it’s a new Pokémon if it wasn’t for that little prankster smile and red eyes.
    I was expecting him to gain a Psychic Type due to the third eye on his forehead, but that’s not the case. I don’t know why, but those “spikes” pointing to the back and all give him a pretty “intense” feel, like a powerful energy flowing through all of him, looks pretty dynamic and stuff. I also like the way that Sugimori drew his eyes different, they look full of power and overflowing with excitement somehow. That red lighting, have no Idea why it’s there, but it looks pretty cool and also gives me the idea of him being pretty dynamic, full of energy, intense.
    I also like the fact that he’s coming out of the floor, like a Shadow.

    I NEED THEM NOW!

  12. My theory is that they left many new pokemon unevolved this generation so they can give us a slew of new past gen evolutions for generation 7. That’s the only possible thing that can explain why pokemon like heliolisk don’t evolve any further. I thought helioptile would transform into a beast! Kinda like what they did with horsea and sedra

    Reply
  13. Someone please clear this up for me : So Tyranitar can be found in Y and it’s mega stone in X? and vice versa for Aggron?

    Reply
  14. You know, these offical art of the final evos are starting to grow on me.Hard to believe it, but it’s true. They all look pretty neat, Greninja being my favorite. And those new mega evos look sick as hell! 2 more days guys, my heart can’t take this much excitement!

    Reply
    • I am really teased to look into it, but I don’t wanna spoil myself.
      All I know is CoroCoro info and the 4chan leaks, but I only paid attention to the starter final forms, Bunnelby and Helioptile evolutions, and that’s all.

      I wanna find out about the storyline by myself.

      • Haha, me too! We would have to go somewhere and I’m stuck playing and try to finish what I’m doing to get it done. They are yelling,”hurry up we’re going to be late!” Then when I’m done I have to save but it takes like 1 1/2 minutes to save!

  20. I have a question for anyone who has the game already – How big is the map compared to other gens?? IMO gen 4’s was bigger than gen 5 since you had to go all the way up to Snowpoint then go all the way back down. Whereas gen 5 was just a big roundabout XD

  21. Love the fact that everytime i move my Frogadier does cartwheels back and forth in its pokeball 😀 So much awesomeness.

        • If it’s not in one of those 20 pages, then I’ll be disappointed. It is Mawile’s counterpart and GF is going nuts with Sableye distributions!

          Reply
          • They’re not. Just like how Seviper and Zangoose aren’t. I’m so glad! I was afraid that Mawile would be exclusive to X and have to get it in a trade since I’m getting Y.

          • I still can’t understand why they made Mawile’s evolution as a mega one instead of a normal one! It looks epic, but it’s just temporary, I don’t like the concept, specially with Pokémon who could perfectly evolve normally. The same goes with Sableye if he ends up getting one. Megas (I still wouldn’t be a fan, but it would be much better) should only exist for 3-staged Pokémon families and legendaries.

          • I think it’s even more awesome when 1 stage Pokémon get Megas (except Kangaskhan, kinda dissappointed about her Mega). Reminds me of Warp Devolution from Digimon.

  22. With these artworks, I’m kind of split between Delphox and Greninja. I think I’ll still go with Froakie, though, because ingame I still prefer Greninja (but as far as these artworks are concerned, I may prefer Delphox). I may end up choosing Fennekin because it has a major advantage, I can have my loyal Bombeiro (Blastoise)! I don’t know, when I play, I’ll see. Still not a fan of Chesnaught, though, something about its face.

  34. As both Tyranitar and Aggron, two version exclusive pokémon from past gens, are getting Mega-evos, we can assume the other old version exclusives are mega-evolving as well. This leaves us to:
    Pinsir, Starmie (YAY!), Houndoom, Mightyena, Sawk – exclusive to X
    Heracross (very likely), Cloyster, Manectric, Liepard, Throh – exclusive to Y

    Do you guys think it’s possible?

    • They are for the new global link. In Pokémon X & Y, you can earn Poké Miles within certain parts, currently unknown. PokéMiles are used in the PokéMileage Club in the PGL in order to pay to play attractions and receive items from the shop, which can then be sent back to X & Y.

      every stat can have a variation from 0-31 points. That’s completely dependent on IV and it’s fixed…permanent.

    • The anime contains more foreshadowing to a Hoenn remake/return:
      1) a sibling duo to accompany Ash on his journey: May and Max vs. Clemont and Bonnie (both duos have relation to a gym)
      2) the starter pokemon are split among the Ash and his friends again (Ash gets Froakie, Serena gets Fennekin, and Clemont gets Chespin), just like in Hoenn (when Ash got Treecko, Brock got Mudkip, and May got Torchic). As opposed to Gen I, II, IV and V, where Ash trains more than 1 starter in each.

    Horde Battles have pokemon with hidden abilities
    Horde Battles are more likely with sweet scent and honey

  48. I’m so happy that Delphox does keep the stick. I was genuinely upset because I thought they’d gotten rid of it. I was hoping that Delphox would grow on me because I liked Fenneking and Braixen a lot, and given time and this art, I’m very happy.

  51. Well, I preordered X today, and I am glad MegaTyranitar is exclusive to it! So excited! Less than 2 days until XY officially release, WERE ALMOST THERE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Reply
  52. Well, I am one of the few that was never that fond of Tyranitar, but I think it’s mega enhances it tremendously. The terrifying face design on its chest and the beautiful spikes makes the design more dynamic and interesting. Other megas may add weird little spikes and tassel-like structures to embellish the former design; however, this design feels more organic and well-thought out. 10/10

    Aggron’s megalution on the other had looks bloated with metal and loses all of the charm in its amazing design. I loved Aggron, using it frequently in the RSE series, This evolution doesn’t do it any justice, and really detracts from the integrity of the initial design. The design feels too cluttered. It’s distracting and not pleasing to eye or overall aesthetic. 5/10

    Please don’t be upset if you disagree. As you can see, I am not simply saying, one sucks or one is amazing, I have really thought out the reasons why the addition either enhanced or detracted from the pokemon’s design.

  53. Why the Mega of Tyranitar exclusive to X while he is only available to Y? Does it means that his Mega stone are only able to X? Who is possible. I can’t…. :'(

  54. Sorry if this was already posted while at school + work. Gourgeist news!
    Also, can someone tell me the evolution method, if it has been confirmed? Thanks.

    “These two Pokémon also have got a unique form difference. However, unlike other form changes, these forms cannot be changed after capture. When you encounter the Pumpkaboo in the wilrd, it will be one of four possible sizes: Small, Average, Large and Super Size, with Super Size being the rarest. The difference is actually in their stats. While as a Pumpkaboo, its Hit Points go up, the larger it is, but the Speed decreases wheres when it has been traded to evolve into a Gourgeist, its Attack stat also starts getting larger for the larger forms while Speed decreases.” Serebii

          • No, in the video he just had a Charizard and he didnt show what move he used. As a matter of fact, I dont even think he got a chance to use a move, the pokemon fled right away. And he says a Shadow Tag pokemon, even if it is higher level than the legendary doesn’t work either

          • I’m guessing that fleeing has priority +1. So the only way to damage it is with a pokemon faster than the legendary using a +1 priority move like quick attack or extreme speed. They should also try prankster mean look.

  57. Theory time!!
    Sinsce x and y are supposed to be the x and y axis, pokemon z will be the z axis, which is the 3d axis! So maybe pokemon z will be completely 3d!!!!!!!

  58. I wish we could find out the moveset for Chespin/Quilladin/Chesnaught. I hope they don’t pull a Gen 3 starter on us where the base form can learn good moves that the later forms can’t. Like Giga Drain and Hydro Pump if I remember correctly.

          • I’d rather Drain Punch 🙂 Not a fan of lowering defenses haha. And I’m still shocked that this monstrous Knight doesn’t have at least 100 HP.

          • Looking over the BST, I think I’ll go for Jolly Nature and try for a characteristic also such as “Likes to run.” What do you think?

          • And don’t bother for Careful then either? It’s so hard for me because I’m new to competitive, and I just like trying to maximize my Pokemon’s potential now. I see it’s good at Defense already, and so my natural instinct is to raise something that isn’t good xD

          • That’s fake. Sorry. Some of those moves (level up) go against what we already know for these pokemon (i.e. Fennekin and Howl).

          • The point is: Fennekin can learn Howl. Greninja can learn Mat Block. Froakie’s first attack is Pound. None of those moves are mentioned here. It contradicts everything we know from these pokemon’s movesets.

            It’s just more 4chan trolling.

          • Where is it confirmed that their second abilities is true? The only thing I knew is Protean for Froakie line.

          • I’m still taking this with a grain of sand for discussion. Waiting for confirmation from serebii. But nothing has been disproven so far.

          • Can confirm this fake right now: My froakie did not learn Water Sport, Aqua Jet or Thief and Water Pulse is its latest level up move plus this list leaves out smokescreen which it can learn.

          • I think this is the final starters. So the moves you see before Water Shuriken might require the Move Remember guy.

          • Considering the 3DS has yet to be hacked for pulling code i find it really hard to believe anyone could have these details as it would require every starter to be at or near to Lvl: 100, their alternate abilities to be seen in the wild etc
            Normally this information can be found easily by pulling code but this gen is different because its on the 3DS and not the DS.

          • I definitely agree on the base stats and gender percentages….but we need confirmation or unconfirmation on the tms. SInce you have the game, can you deconfirm by finding a TM move that doesn’t match?

          • I certainly can try but i only have 1 from that list so far (protect) and thats pretty common but when i get a less generic one from the list i will.

          • My wish is that Ability Capsule can change Chespin’s stupid Overgrow to Guardian. But me thinks it’s a Dream World Ability that won’t be released for a long time -_-

          • oh…
            but this is not a level up list in order…but yeah I believe you over the guy who posted this. I hope it learns aqua jet at a higher level

          • Without being able to pull the code from the games (which you cant do because the 3DS has yet to be hacked) the this information is impossible to know yet. But yeah i hope it learns Aqua Jet too 😀

          • this is not a complete list it’s just a collection that’s being updated hence it says “not complete”

          • I’ve trained years by studying and observing the water types from all regions. I lived in isolation for years training with my Oshawott, eventually becoming a noble Samurott. I seek to establish my own gym, and eventually reach the elite four.

          • Well I’ve started my Journey in Kanto with a lone Rhyhorn and caught every known Ground type Pokemon from Kanto and beaten the Pokemon league, traveling to each and every region studying and training with native Ground Pokemon from their respective Regions, and now I am a Master!

          • With time Sir Ian, we should form an alliance, take over the elite 4 along with 2 other noble warriors and create the most powerful elite 4 the world has ever seen.

          • Welcome Sir Toad. Always a pleasure seeing another water type master. Be courageous as a Magikarp as you continue on your journey.

          • A magikarp is merely a gyrados who hasn’t reached his full potential yet. Now, I must ask, if you had to run a mono water type team, which six would you use?

          • By mono water team I assume you mean pure water so… :
            1) Samurott
            2) Milotic
            3) Vaporeon
            4) Clawitzer
            5) Blastoise
            6) Wailord

          • Well no just ones with water typing xD but I very much approve of this list. I’d have to go with my al time favorite, Kingler, then probably cloyster, blastoise/feraligatr, kabutops, sharpedo, and both Greninja and clawitzer look amazing this generation so I don’t think I could decide honestly

          • It’s cool xD pure water is great too! Not gonna lie, my only disappointment with x and y so far, is that there only really 2 new water types D: at least fully evolved. Cause skrelp loses it’s water typing for dragon. Which is awesome, but it sucks for us water type users xD

    • I feel like that would be way too dark and they would definitely be way too smart for just some kid to take down hahaha I mean look at what happened to Hank…….

  60. why couldnt megas be for fully evoled pokemon and instead give all the Standalone and 2 stage evolution i dont get it since if we have an absol Evo next gen the mega is worthless then

    Reply
    • Mega Evolutions are a lot more flexible than proper evolutions. Since they need a specific item to Mega Evolve, GameFreak could easily introduce a different Mega Stone if the Mega Evolution ever becomes obsolete.

      In Absol’s case, Mega Absol improves Absol quite a bit. Later on though if Mega Absol isn’t so Mega compared to newer Pokemon, GameFreak can add in a different Mega Evolution that is improved stat wise or ability wise.

      This could also help if Mega Evolutions utterly fail and nobody likes them or they are too powerful. GameFreak could just take out the Mega Stones and everything would be back to normal. It’s pretty perfect the way it’s set up.

    POKEMON X!
    My mini review:
    Well..first of all I can’t believe that 10 months ago XY were announced. It was so long ago and right now I feel as if it lasts like 2 weeks. Ok, now seriously. Kalos is beautifull. The Map, the backgrounds, the buildings are just a-ma-zaing and I can truly say that XY are the most beautifull Pokemon games ever. They are totally different, and it take time to get used to it but it’s new generation of pokemon games. All we need to do is just play the wonderfull story like we did 15 years ago. I’m 24 so I remember every Pokemon game premiere but I’ve never been so excited as I am now.
    Some Details:
    the PSS function is wonderfull. I feel as if I were connected to real social media server which is totally alive and you can really feel as if you were playing with friends in the same room. It’s great, you can battle, you can trade, you can appreciate your friend anytime and what is more amazing you see EVERY FUCKIN BODY FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD who is actually playing pokemon games. The feeling is breathtaking, so f.e I met over 5K people just today.
    The single player mode:
    Lots of pokemon, lots of pokemon everywhere. I can’t decide which pokemon I’m gonna train because there is soooo many of them right now. Te new ones, the old ones – each model looks beautifull.
    The plot is wonderfully created. I don’t wanna spoil anything so I will only say that it’s all about MegaEvos. And it’s great because as Serena and Xavier as I’m learning about this new phenomena. Awesome!
    I like the music but this is not this kind of review so I will skip the music.
    What’s most amazing is the fact that the world of Kalos is so goddamn big and there is so many to do in this game that AFTER 12h of game I’M STILL BEFORE THE SECOND BADGE. For real, this is not a joke. My friends got the almost same situation. The time stops when you are entering the worild of 6th generation pokemon game.
    I will give you pics of my team tomorrow, cu guys

    Reply
      • huh? I thought IV’s are unerasable meaning a boost of 2 stages from breeding in a stat you like will be permanently there and you can add the max amount of EV’s on top of that making the stat Exceptionally great because it has Max Ev’s And Iv’s…

        Or do IV’s Add to your Pokemons Max EV’s?

        Reply
        • Ok suppose at level 100 you pokemon has the abosolute minumum speed stat possible say:

          SPEED: 100
          That means he/she has 0 IVs in speed and 0 Evs

          with 31 IVs it becomes
          SPEED: 131

          with 252 EVs and 31 IVs it becomes
          SPEED: 131+ 63 =194

          hope that helps

          Reply
    • Equally important because IVs are the difference of 31 stat points at level 100. But Max Evs are the difference of 62 stat points

      Reply
        • I’m sorry I keep asking you these competitive questions lol, but if you had to think of an EV spread for Chesnaught, how would you train it?

          Reply
          • Hmm….see most physical pokemon pack Stone Edge + Earthquake because it has good neutral coverage. But these pokemon such as Rhyperior are hard to switch in to because of their very high Atk stat. That’s why I’d go with 252 HP 252 Def Impish 4 Speed. But if Guardian was it’s ability, then I’d go Adamant 252 HP 252 ATK 4 Speed.

          • Thank you 🙂

            Know what a noob I am? This is my idea from yesterday when I was considering Careful nature:

            148- Special Defense
            176- Defense
            100- Attack
            80- HP
            4- Speed

            xD

          • Don’t worry about it….xD. The best competitive battlers learn from battle…not from calculators. Decision making is much more important than Raw stats and attacks. xD

          • Oh and I’d love to ramble about competitive with anyone…so feel free to ask anything you wanna know xD

    • I think the patterns are determined by where you evolve Spewpa.
      At least, that’s what I’ve heard. I don’t know why people keep thinking the whole “different patterns for different countries” thing is how Vivillon works.

      People from the same country are getting these patterns, too.
      Just looks at the names for some of these patterns:
      Sandstorm Pattern, Meadow Pattern, Garden Pattern, Polar Pattern, etc..
      The proof is in the name.

        • Dark Pulse has a higher BP than Night Slash – that’s my reason for that. As for Water Shuriken, I’d have to see how well it does in battle before I go on a breeding frenzy. You could always go with a Mild nature, though it makes Greninja even more fragile than it already is, but you can go 252 EVs on SPD and split it on ATK and SpATk to where they end up to even. That way you can have a mixed sweeper.

      • Not as far as i know. I’ve seen shiny minun, Chatot, Greninja, Froakie, Espurr, Meowstic, Riolu, Skiddo, Hoppip and Gogoat in pics, so I’m pretty sure the odds have been raised.

        Reply
          • You think if they didn’t have to animate so many different vivillion, there could have been room for at least one other Pokemon? I mean, what was the number, 69? That seems just a little too low. 70 would be a lot better. And besides, i don’t know why everyone expected a lot of pokemon. Kalso is a low Pokemon region, like Sinnoh and Johto.

          • Kalos has a lot of Pokémon. I don’t think it’s a low number, at all. But, I agree that there are less new Pokémon this generation. But, meh… Nothing we can do about it, plus there are a lot more things to look forward to in this game.

          • True. And the amount of form changes and different designs is huge, so you could count that.I meant that is has a small amount of new Pokemon.

            Kanto: 150-151
            Johto 104-105
            Hoenn 130-131
            Sinnoh 107-108
            Unova 156-157
            Kalos 69
            Im unsure, because people sa that Mew isn’t in the original RBY, and wasn’t even in the dex. Not sure though.

  88. So with the talk of all these shiny Pokemon being found what is the one Pokemon from this gen that you want to see shiny?
    I want to see a shiny Fennekin with the colors being white and blue to represent the most intense temperatures of flames with white being the hottest. I think the same could apply to it’s evolutions.

    Reply
    • If you look closely at where it’s battling Salamence – they look about the same size. I think the added bulk makes Tar’s appearance larger when it actually is more-or-less the same size.

      Reply
    • Not a good exclusive. Aron, the catchable form of the line, Is X exclusive, while Larvitar is Y exclusive, so you will HAVE to trade to get either Mega. And pure Steel with Filter? That means that is technically has no weaknesses, as Filter reduces the damage taken from Super effective attacks. What’s not to love? Will it miss Stab Rock Head Head Smash? Of course, but some people don’t use that move anyway. And besides, it can demolish Fairies at any given moment so that Dragons can clear the field afterwords. I think its cool, but an odd choice of a Pokemon to Mega Evolve, and to give it Tyranitar as a counterpart is also an odd decision, but cool nontheless.

      Reply
      • I use heavy bomber/heavy metal and i feel that its very useful already, and with fairies running around in gen six it will be even better. not to say it wont be useful and its definitely bad ass, it just wont do my current aggron any good.
        I hope there is way to get exclusive megas on to the opposite game because as it stands right now y version is getting slightly better megas in terms of viability imo

        Reply
        • Viability?Mega Mewtwo Y is slightly better only due to it’s 140 base speed. Mega Mewtwo X is physical, and has all around better bulk imo. And, a lot of Pokemon in uber are specially defensive and resist it’s stab. Mega Mewtwo X doesn’t have such an issue, and only has to worry about physically bulky Pokemon, which, there aren’t really many of in uber, besides Giratina. I’d go either or, but personally, steadfast and the fighting Stab is what sells me and Mega Mewtwo X.

          Charizard. Mega Charizard Y has Drought, which no longers causes perma sun, which reduces his viability to me. The increased Special attack is nice, but he has a shallow special movepool. Air Slash, Fire Stab, Solar Beam, now weaker, fixed HP Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast. That’s all i can think of. Everything else is physical. I believe Mega Charizard Y has the power advantage amongst the two.

          Mega Charizard x has the type advantage, no long being weak as shit to rock, and now having perfect mono type coverage, as any pure pokemon gets hit neutrally by one of his stabs. And i read that Mega zard X would have base 124-130 attack, which is low to me, because a randomly trained, randomly ev’d Megazard X at lv 53 had 163 atk, so i think their off. I feel it’s more like 145-155 ish, but i could be wrong. And then it’s special attack also goes up, and stays higher than it’s physical attack. To me, that reduces it’s viability heavily, as it should have taken the special attack increase, and increased his bulk instead. I believe Megazard X has type advantage, and ability advantage.

          Mega Aggron and Ttar. Mega Aggron’s typing is great to me, and i never really used Heavy Metal. It seemed to gimmicky to me. I always went with Sturdy or Rock Head. Mostly Sturdy. BUt losing the rock Stab is fine imo, because i never really used it anyway. Having filter is going to be killer, and if his Special defense goes up, he’ll be tank of the gen. Against a Mega Ttar, i think Aggron has the advantage due to Filter and Stab SE Iron Tail.

          TTar gets nerfed so hard with the change to weather effects. Ruins Ninetails imo, and seriously knocks down Hippowdon. I have no idea what changed other than apearance, but, because he embodies his whole line with the larvitar head crest, pupitar face on his chest, and being a ttar, i think his special attack or bulk should go up. I like slow Pokemon, and if a massice bulk or special attack boost requires his speed to drop, then so be it.

          All in all, X has more coverage, and Y has more power. which fits, especially when you look at Xerneas and Yveltal.

    Yes, I know that 4 of my party members are weak to Ground, but I believe they can handle themselves. Besides I plan on switching Sigilyph in when my opponent is about to use a ground type move anyway.

    What do you think?

    • Of the Kalos Pokemon you have selected:

      Dragalge! I love that pokemon. Possibly my favorite of the generation!

      Also, I was a bit on the fence with Heliolisk until I saw the mode in action. The neck frills out, reminiscent of the sun. So, another great choice.

      Greninja is a very close second next to Delphox in my book, but I can’t wait to pick him my second game! His design is clever and sleek.

      Nice Choices.

  90. Clefable is Pure Fairy-type

    Serebii just posted this. And Japan not only gets the Garchomp Code, but an Inkay wifi event. It know a knew move roughly translated as HAppy Time.

    Reply
      • I don’t like that Clefable had it’s type changed. I mean, i expected it, but i don’t like it. And clefable was always different from Jiggles. It has MUCH better bulk and offenses, just lower HP

        Reply
          • And it still will. With like, base 40 defenses, even a NVE attack can drop wiggles. Sucks too, because i love wigglytuff.

          • Gamefreak needs to fix some base stats….they can’t be this lazy/conservative about it. Flareon’s stats need to be reordered

          • Why? I think the work okay. Physical defense is a bit blah, but what Fire Pokemon besides Torkoal is bulky? Maybe Arcanine. I think it would have been better if Flareon had Flare Blitz and Quick feet. Power is nice, but if you can’t move quick enough to hit, it’s useless.

          • 65 Base HP is terrible even with 110 Special Defense. You are never going to outrun much this gen even with quick feet. And then 65 HP with Flare Blitz !? It might as well have Explosion!

          • Well then, give it Sacred Fire. And with Quick Feet, it at least has a chance of outspeeding somethings. Not all, just some. I know Sacred Fire should be Ho-Oh’s move, but look at Sacred Sword. It could work. Not saying it would skyrocket Flareon out of NU for the first time ever, but it would at least make Flareon less of a joke to some people. I love Flareon, and to see people chastise it because it doesn’t have a lucario sized movepool is ridiculous.

      • It is, Japan just gets treated better because they made the game. At least that’s what I think. Though, when you think about it, Japan gets an art book, stationary, and xerneas/yveltal figures. GAME store customers in europe get the Pokeball case and i belive Pokedex 3D for free. Mexico gives the poster and a white/Black Kyurem pin. And america gets a double sided poster. and it’s difficult to decide which side to hang, because both are boss.

      • To me, Chansey screams Fiary more than Clefable. I think Clefable should have been Pure Psychic, and let Chansey be pure Fairy.

        Reply
          • Fine by me. To me, Clefable isn’t Fairy. It’s attracted to moon stones, which technically, would be something dark pokemon SHOULD do, as moon, dark, you know? Chansey has that whole giddy Cleric look, and that seems more Fairy like, or magickal to me. While Clefable is the Fairy Pokemon, and in the Fairy egg group, I personally believe that making it fairy is a bad idea. MANY people will disagree with me, but that’s how i feel, and I can’t change that. And, Granbull was also made Pure Fiary. I honestly think Granbull should have always been Fighting. So, when i hear it gets retyped, i hope for Fairy/Fighting. But, Pure Fairy.

            But, on another note, do you think Bellossom will get retyped to Grass/ Fairy?

          • I agree that Chansey and the rest of its evolutionary line should be Fairy-types, but Clefable and it’s line is a definite choice to become Fairy-types. Even it’s Japanese name, Pixy/Pixie, proves how faerie-like it is.
            Dark-types have nothing to do with the moon. Dark-types are Pokémon who fight dirty, as opposed to Fighting-types who play by the rules. The only Dark-type Pokémon that has to do with the moon is Umbreon, and that’s because of its origin.

          • I was thinking of Darkrai, but forgot about it and the whole full moon thing. But, still… that’s also because of its origin, like Umbreon. That doesn’t apply to other Dark-types.
            Dark-types do what they want, rebels and vigilantes! >:]

          • Actually, Darkrai is the representative of the New Moon, which is when the Moon is basically not visible at all.

          • True. But when you think of Dark, in general, do you think of dirty fighters, and tricksters. I don’t. While Clefable’s Japanese name says a lot, I really don’t see what’s so fairy like about it, other than the name. I think Granbull should have stayed normal, or went pure Fighting,too. And don’t even get me started on Mr Mime

          • I ignore the classification sometimes. I mean, does Granbull say fairy to you? I really think the classification on Clefable and Granbull needed to be changed, but, that’s just how i feel. It doesn’t have that.., magickal, spiritual, pixie like look. I mean, the wings maybe, but then wouldn’t every Pokemon with tiny wings fit in with it, like dragonite?

[paypal mail is: [email protected] – please don’t spam that kind of messanges in future, I decide for that it’s because I need save money cause problems with finding new job in my country and 40$ i too much for a while when I have another person in maintenance- ]

          • get a life both of you, you acting like everyone on this planet can handle purchase of games like it was nothing -_-

          • could you stop trolling? Can you explain better why you thinking that I shouldn’t beg poke community for 10$ from few persons when I can’t handle that sum in real life for now?

          • I kinda see where Fen is coming. Its a horrible decision to give anyone money over the internet, especially a random stranger. These games aren’t a necessaity. If anything you can wait until you earn 40 dollars in the upcoming week to get it. You don’t need it on the release date. Priorities need to be thought of. This game isn’t the most important thing. Its a leisure.

          • but I’ll not able, and Im not sure when I’ll and I can’t understand, that people forgeting , that moneys are returing to thier wallet after month when they have stable situation, so nobody loses nothing since 10$ is nothing in high developed countries

          • I don’t know ld your as a person and I don’t know your personality. Your word through text means nothing. There has to be a agreement where you are held accountable for your actions. You could be a hacker, or you could be a scammer. I don’t know. You obviously are able to because you can afford internet. A) Either you have a job to support yourself with bills, or B) you live with you folks.

            If A, then you can wait a week or two and put aside forty dollars (or your countries equivalent) from your next paycheck to buy the game.

            If B, then you’re either underage or you don’t have to pay bills. Underage: Ask your parents. You should be asking for money from strangers, anyway. If you’re over 18 I would suggest giving things like plasma or labor (yard work, etc) for cash.

            I’m not saying you’re a hacker or scammer. But it seems kinda suspect to be asking people for cash online. Again. You can save up money for this games. Its not that you aren’t able to, its that either you don’t want to wait or you don’t want to spend your own money.

          • I know. But, it’s making the time go by so much faster! I am dying over hear from laughter. This is so ridiculous XD

          • “I am dying over hear from laughter. This is so ridiculous XD” I wish I could punch your face, because this makes me angry, did you laugh fro ppl who have credit for rest of thier lives in bank because they needed this?!

          • You don’t need money to buy a video game. It’s not a necessity. In addition there is no way to validate your financial situation, therefore there is no reason to trust that you are even facing financial struggles. Though, I am sure a video game is the least of your worries if you are.

          • you do not need buy game to 😉 Im pretty sure you could envy others who can play worldwide at this same time and wanted do this so badly too

          • I see what you are trying to say Shinjiru but what you are attempting to do is against the law and you could go to jail if you do not keep your word and give back money.

          • I know, but I just thought we’re from one race, from one fandom ect. many people can help others in various situations, so I just thought someone will help me gain needed sum when Im not able to do this due my situation I except some trolls here but I don’t want being missunderstand because of slanders

          • How is slander to say you have not substantiated trustworthiness? In addition, it’s illegal solicitation, many of whom are minors on the site.

          • ehhh… how does it is illegal at first place? Helping others isn’t illegal action, my promise about sending back moneys when I hit over 40 or sending back at all due time are illegal because there isn’t document for that?

          • He is right though, you kind of are acting like everyone can afford to buy X and Y when most countries are indeed in bad economic condition. Even if this guy or girl is trolling, which I kind of believe, they do make a point however what they are trying to do is illegal.

          • I am not at all. We don’t know who he is; for all we know he could live in the United States. I never imply otherwise.

          • Uh, wha? How the hell am I acting that way?
            I know damn well that not everyone in the world can obtain these game. I also know not everyone in the world can afford
            food & water… These games, compared to the horrible things goin’ on in the world, are not important.

            But, besides aaaall that… all I ever did was wish this guy good luck. “Ganbare.” How have I become such a villain? Lol
            3:54am. G’night, Junglers.

          • If he can’t afford than he can’t. Its called Priorities. You should get the necessaities and pay bills then worry about leisure and luxury items. Claus nor Fen said nothing about his economic standing. Like seriously its hard to justify asking money from people online for a game. Its real suspect, just sayin.

    • So.. You’re asking people for money so that you’ll be able to purchase an item which is in no way a need for you or anyone else. There are a lot of people out there in the world who actually need money so that they will be able to eat at least once a day. From an average person’s standpoint, what your asking for is a luxury item and you’re expecting people to not react negatively and lash out at you? Some people these days, man.. But good luck in your search for “good” samaritans who will give you the amount you need, I guess.

  95. You know, we sure are seeing several abilities that are changing Normal type moves into another element. I wonder what others might get this type of ability. And, yeah, couldn’t get on all day, but yeah, bit mixed feelings. I rather like Mega Tyranitar, but I’d like to see what kind of boost he gets, because keeping Sand Stream is disappointing, especially when something like Filter was EXACTLY what I was hoping he would get, and they give that to Aggron instead. I guess on the plus side, I’m warming up to Greninja now, the official art actually helps it a lot for me, so maybe I’ll use it after all. We’ll see.

          • Burden of proof on the person receiving a loan. A bank isn’t going to just assume the loanee will follow through on repayment without any assurance.

          • Ad hominem fallacy. Can’t refute my points, therefore, you talk about my butt. Not sure whether to be offended or flattered.

          • you can always eat your moneys nobody than you will put hands on them and you’ll not die form starvation 😉

          • point is that; moneys doesn’t have value and you acting like 10$ was big sin or something, if I could need help from you in other serious matter, then you would say this same.

          • Personal information is even more concerning. There is no way to know 10 bucks is all your are seeking to exploit. Again, you have a burden of proof, and minors especially should not be solicited.

          • oh the hell stop with that straw man ok? I couldn’t have money for food and what? nothing, you wuld troll me in this same way and call scammer or another

          • Straw Man. I never claimed you were a scammer.

            I said you very well could be a scammer since you are an anonymous poster. Though, your actions are illegal. I think I am being objective and making sure you don’t convince any younger naive posters to divulge financial/personal information and/or money.

          • Its not being butthurt, its having common sense. Normally I’m an optimisitc person. However, when it comes to my personal information and my money, i’d rather be cautious about it. Plus my absolute trust is really for people I personally know and I build a bond with them. You’re just a faceless individual on the veil of anonymity that is the internet. Kinda hard to trust.

          • This is also true. If I where you, Shinjiru, I wouldn’t try asking on this site. Because even if you’re not intentionally exploiting kids, its can be a subjective observation to another. The veil of anonymity is a thin sheet when you have he ability to track IP address if you are doing illegal actions

            I’m not saying you are scamming, or exploiting, I’m just saying watch what you’re doing. I’m also saying buy you own leisure items

          • then you wait dude. Its not gonna kill you to wait. I would rather wait and get the game with my own cause, then end up having charges pressed for exploitation of children or scamming.

      • Either X and Y are happening at the same time as Unova. That being said. I think Black and white took place a few years after D/P. So I would say maybe 3 or 4 years after D/P. If X and Y take place after BW2 then it would be 5 or 6 years. For an adult male, age wouldn’t look that much different from 3 to 6 years

        Reply
      • Possibly. Though I expect XY to be taking 3-6 years after the events of BW. Give or take a few years. I think most subsequent generations are a couple of years ahead in the timeline than the preceeding one.

          • Yup! and Eterna to Vielstone wasn’t far off either and Santalune to Cyllage has take much longer in the games than any of those and that includes the Galactic storyline in DPPt lol

          • But really it allowed time for story and character development so i hope they don’t rush. I want everything iv’e seen in game to be used and not passed over for speed. That was the main issue with the BW series..

          • Yeah, I prefer good development in good arcs. Not just one episode a buck. Ash had time to grow a good team, have great relationships with his friends and rivals. Sinnoh was were he felt the most mature. BW just made him an idiot who can’t battle for anything. The only Gym Leader battle that I thought was outstanding was Clay’s…

          • Indeed. I loved AG and DP because he had that maturity and experience. BW was rushed and felt like it was going backwards rather than forwards in terms of development. Plus the development for his pokemon was AWFUL, he caught too many and bar a couple they never got enough screen time. I hope this time is different. From what iv’e seen so far it looks really good and has that AG feel to it so here’s hoping 😀

          • His team would have been so awesome if they had gotten enough development. Krookodile was the only one with decent development. The rest never got their battles to show their prowess. 🙁

          • Leavanny was one of his best battlers, but didn’t get that screen time for good measure. It’s a shame, since I liked Leavanny’s personality..

    • Ikr?! It has so many cool possibilities. (like steel scythes(/head crests), the seeds on its back blooming into cool plants, or maybe(this is pushing it) an electric tail like Zekrom’s. It might only come out for the RS remakes, though.

  129. Still worried, do we have any actual confirmation on Gen 5 Mega Evolutions? I haven’t seen any yet other than one guy CLAIMING he had found Galvantulanite.
