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.

So in terms of meta gaming
Breeding-IV’s>Super Training/Battling-Ev’s
???
Super Training is better in the end, with you being able to reset EVs if you have to.
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?
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
YAY! that’s what I thought! Still kind of a bummer for me though.. I’m no breeder but it seems I will have to.. it just sounds impossible to breed and get the IV’s you want And the nature you want…
I think the most important IVs are speed and HP if you can’t afford the others.
even on naturally slow Pokemon?
for naturally slow HP, but naturally fast weak defense Speed
Equally important because IVs are the difference of 31 stat points at level 100. But Max Evs are the difference of 62 stat points
*63 my bad
look what I said below I’m still little confused
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?
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
Well I’m going to bed, leaving in the morning for the city!
Wish me luck!
and if anyy’all are coming look for a guy with a gameboy SP on his neck!
eyb

You posted this three hours ago lol.
3 hours and 17 minutes to be exact.
YA WISE OL FOOL
I kind of want to prepare a little speech today or tomorrow, in honor of X and Y coming out. I just feel like we’ve all been through so much together, and that should be honored.
group hug?
Yeah sure, that works. *bear-hug*
* Muk-hug*
Beartic hug?
*joltix hug*
Arceus hug, definitely that.
Goomy hug ( dont start)
Bastiodon hug
Magcargo hug. Flame body, you’re all burned.
Have you guys seen Mega Medicham? 😀
It reminds me of Alladin.
I have not, but I would like to keep something secret, so nope.
i dont suppose you can show us a link to it?
I put up a link on TheRece25’s comment. Take a look. 🙂
link?
Mega Medicham.
Aladdin, everything that’s not Aladdin….what’s the difference?
Hehe, I’m being snarky. To me, it looks more like Vishnu….
OMG THIS MUSIC:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYObC_LRETk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YxX9fmwgP4
Oh, well you must be fucking bouncing off the walls happy! It sounds so cute!
I KNOW!
Sounds like something out of Dragon Quest
I’m heading out for a bit guys, time to play some TF2 and enjoy the evening. I’ll be here again tomorrow, for the most hypetastic day of my life.
Take this music on your way out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtyfIAk8bhU
Not bad, not bad at all!
In my opinion, it is the best champion music there is. NO ONE FUCKING JUDGE ME.
eyb evah nuf
Game with me in 26 hours!
1 day 2 hours sounds better…
You mean 2 minutes!
huh?
2 minutes sounds better!
I hope I see you guys after the 12th! I’ve meet a lot of cool people since January 8th, so don’t go ghost on me! But I’ll talk about it more tomorrow. It seems more appropriate then.
So, see ya, I guess? 😀
I’m not leaving, I’m just saying I hope you guys don’t disappear after Saturday.
(whew) Okay, good! I’ll be here! 😀
trying to find a decent purugly avatar… can you believe the lack of purugly art out there?!? absurd!!!
the irony….
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/md2/art/432.png

np 😉
OOO I like that one, reminds me of Mystery Dungeon!
Wild Zygarde appeared!
Is that what it looks like dormant?

Still creepy as hell…
I think its actually meant to look like some kind of computer monitor, since its Pokédex entry states “it monitors those who destroy the ecosystem.” Also, strangely enough, It looks an alienware computer with those colors. Lol
Lol. True. But I would still run the fuck away if I saw it. It’s dormant form is even more terrifying.
LOL! Happy Halloween!
It’s the month to be scared. 😀
Zygrade creeps me out. Big time! Even more than Hypno, and I thought I’d never say that!
Yeah, it is kinda creepy, but in a cool, legendary way. Lol
Can we have another friend code thing tomorrow? I would say now but not many are here at this hour
Anyways hasn’t it been confirmed we have another In Game friend code meaning 3DS friend codes won’t work?
it was confirmed that both work.
well that’s good, that woulda been… kinda annoying haha
Any news on Vivillion patterns in the US?
Do we have one pattern or are there multiple patterns for US players depending upon the state’s climate?
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.
I hope you are right. I don’t want to have to trade to obtain the different patterns. So it’s like burmy, with many more variations (and no change in typing).
Yep, exactly! It’s got similarities to Burmy and Eevee.
so its like the deerling of gen 6 but it by the climate of the area
this is something I too am interested in, and please dear god, don’t be red white and blue, how cliche’
is the free torchic a one time deal or as many times as you want?
If you reset your game its as many as you want, otherwise for every save file, once.
hmm I should do that………. I would Always have a rare Pokemon to trade for ones I want haha
Off-topic, but you guys know how I said I was gonna find a Horsea and train it? Well, after a few encounters with Lumineon, I found one… But not exactly a Horsea, I straight-up found a FREAKING LV. 69 KINGDRA! *O*
Oh, and I also found a Milotic on Route 1 on my first try! 😀
You’re talking about BW/BW2 aren’t you?
Yeah xD Hope you didn’t think I was talking about X and Y! 😛
At first I did, but then I remembered that the Milotic line aren’t catchable in X and Y…yet. And Route 1 is where you find Milotic.
Kingdra + Dragalgae
I like the sound of that xD
night everyone going in early nighter to tomorrow
Random Fact
Most Snapple Facts arent true
thats a lie……….. hmf
it is since the 1st snappel fact the mythbuster proved wrong sooo
love mythbusters. awesome show.
so night
='[
So if Veronica Taylor is at Comic Con, I’m going to try and ask her to say “Pikachu, it’s time we go to Kalos and meet new Pokemon!” in Ash;s old voice. Who here would want me to record that and share it?
Who are the voice actors in pokemon orgins dub?
IDK but I hope Veronica Taylor is Red’s voice XD
Yes, yes, yes! I’d actually love that. Her or, at least, a better than decent voice actor/actress. I don’t want Red’s voice to be that of an amateur, unless that person is a prodigy! >:[
Nolan North for Professor Oak?
troy baker for every character 🙂
No better, Tara Strong for Green lol
Mmm… Dat Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia. Yes! 😀
Everyone got a downvote except this one comment in particular XD
:O
You should tell her to say “Go, Froakie! Use Water Pulse!”
…Or something like that. 😐
Me! If you get her to say something about May/Hoenn/May You’d put a big smile on my face! =)
For some reason I can already imagine her saying that in his voice.
I can hear it also….O_O
It works in that voice!
is there a possibility she would be there?
IDK she frequents a lot of cons so I assume she would go, but its just a hope and hunch.
I think you should ask her to say “Pikachu, we never win anything, I think its time to retire…” 😀
XD
I think she would take offense to that, but if not I’d totally do it!
yeah I guess if I do ever fulfill my dream of being a voice actor i’d take offense to my characters being insulted too!
alrighty I guess its back to tomb raider II to pass the time… it was fun talking with you all again!
2, not the reboot?
I have both, they are both really good! but im going through 2 now. anyways, see ya!
would you guy’s be upset if ash stuck to his typical routine meaning he got Talonflame AND Pyroar and if he didn’t catch grass starter for the 1st time… i think I will be a little no matter what happens
he doesn’t need 2 fire types yet I wan’t him to stick to his usual team pattern, Chespin would look epic beside him but the anime opening makes it seem like Clemont will have him… I’m sad =[
Kinda couldn’t see Ash with either pyroar’s but it would be cool
Ash doesn’t deserve Chespin.
lol.. I feel he needs another go to grass type Other than Sceptile and Chesnaught would fit the bill perfectly
Why not his Bulbasaur making a return?
cause I feel that would imply it evolving to venusaur because of a mega for it and I could Never see venusaur with ash
Ash isn’t getting Chespin anyway, so you don’t have to worry. Clemont get’s him.
I think his team would or should be this:
Fletchling, Fraokie, Bulbasaur (we need him!), Flabebe, and one fossil pokemon.
hmm couldn’t see him with flabebe but the rest def..!
I could see him using pokemon like pancham, goomy, phantump, or swirlix
i don’t think any of this gens fairies fit him nor goomy. Why use goomy when he has a perfectly good Gible with Oak.. unless he give it to iris in her episode coming up
I hope he is getting an old pokémon that can mega-evolve! IDK, maybe Lucario, since the player gets one as a gift in X and Y…
Or he could bring back an old pokémon of his that would eventually mega-evolve (Heracross!!).
Would make sense since Mega Lucario is shown on the poster from last months Corocoro and in the opening theme! I hope that means he finally gives use to his aura abilities!
Thunderbolt is now 90 Power, not 95. As is Flamethrower, Surf & Ice Beam
Thunder, Blizzard, Hurricane, Fire Blast, Hydro Pump are now 110 Power, now 120.
– Serebii
yup and will-o-wisp has 85% accuracy instead of 75%
Yep. I’m disappointed with the lower of power for those moves…
Not me. Hopefully longer battles that aren’t full of OHKO.
Yeah, but I love raw power… I am power hungry person.. Why do you think I love Archeops so much?
Because it has nice feathers :3
And its raw power. Beautiful. It’s design is awesome too! 😀
I really like Archeops, used it on my Black Version team. Just a shame it has that ability :'(
It got Roost in B2/W2! And it’ll be OHKOing ingame before it gets to that range
I think physical moves won’t get nerfed because of double battles
Sorry to ask, but how so?
in doubles intimidate is common ans most physical moves are spread moves so they do 75% of full damage but special attacks are more powerful and blissey/chansey are very uncommon
Oh, ok. Makes perfect sense now. Thank you 🙂
np xD
Earthquake better stay the way it is.
I think it will because of too many flying/levitate pokemon
Pokebeach will be livestreaming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y tonight, at 11:00pm (California Time- in 3 hours and 13 minutes)! GET HYPE EVERYONE!
Yahoo!XD
Holy crap! You live in California? Me too XD
Nope- Nevada! 😀
Damn it!
😉
);
Aww dont cry ILL GIVE YOU A DEDENNE!
Heliolisk instead? XD
Sure. (sobs)
Hey, I like Dedenne. It just isn’t my kind of pokemon for my team.
Gardevoir is going to be my Fairy-type.
I don’t have any fairy types. Not enough variety with dual-types yet.
mine too
I’m in California. Oh wait, I was supposed to be gone from PokeJungle? XD
NO DONT LEAVE WE ARE LOST WITHOUT YOU
My guidance is not necessary, for you have already chosen the correct path! 😀
Wow, many of you guys are west coast, lol.
Awwwwwwwwww yeah!
I am in California too. 😀
Woo! That’s like….only 2 in the morning here! I’m so stocked to be up all night! Aw hell yeah!!!
…Despite my complaining, it isn’t like I was going to bed anyway. Who the hell can sleep with all this damn excitement?
That’s too late for where I live. :/
what about Florida time lol?
2:00 am. I live there so I know. 😛
Do you guys think there will be a Sky Battle tier in a while?
sky battle is basically regular battles in air but with random effects like speed boosts or nerfs every turn. Kind of like Battle Arcade in Platinum/HGSS but every turn
Oh… But it’d be cool to have Sky Battle tiers.
I wish we could confirm that Stealth Rock got nerfed.
1/8 would be so much better for battling.
Charizard would be very happy.
I’ve heard somewhere that max damage is now 25%….but don’t believe me at the moment….
That’s what I’ve heard too. Really hope its true.
do you have a link to where you originally heard it?….i’ve heard it from people who said they heard it
That’s how I’ve heard it xD
oh well…xD
Rock-types should disable them just like poison-types do to Toxic Spikes!
Looking forward to trying the Inverse Battles!
I wonder how immunities work?
Triple effectiveness?
naw xD…
I guess just normal effectiveness.
Don’t know about that, just looking forward to some random fun.
But I can guarantee you that if Z is made, then it will become a full battle mode instead of just one NPC per day, it’s a trial period to see if anybody likes the idea.
I see Z coming. The Z legendary has too much potential. Have you read its Dex Entree?
Maybe like Ghost resist Fighting, so now Fighting resists Ghost.
immune*
So now Fighting is immune to ghost….oh god this metagame will be confusing as f*** O_O
It’s only one trainer so far XD
I can see this be a very fun metagame xD. Smogon would do it…xD
Yes they would. I would become a competitive player just to play that metagame XD
Dragon is immune to fairy…..xD
0.o Mind=Blown
Steel would be weak to 11 types…O_O
Fuuuuuuuu
*10
Remember it doesn’t resist Ghost and Dark anymore, but it resists Fairy now, so 10. xD
Oh…..god xD I’m still not used to the NORMAL metagame….forget about inverse…..xD
I’m just guessing haha 😛 Grass types would be happy about this kind of battling though.
Everything is an immunity now except for immunities, which are not normal effectiveness.
Mega Garchomp shall Finally have it’s revenge against Jigglypuff. . .
>,>
Abomasnow is gonna rock them!
So MANY resistances xD
