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. Guys, there’s one thing I don’t quite understand. Is it true we can find mega-stones of pokémon that are exclusive to the other game? For example, in Y I can find an Aggronite, but Aggron itself is exclusive to X…

  2. So I’m wondering if the leaked list for the Mega Evolutions is true? So far every Pokemon shown has also been on the leaked list. Here is the leak in case anyone forgot:

  3. Anyone else think/hope lapras gets a mega evolution? He’s my favorite pokemon and you get a gift lapras on route 12 I believe so I think it would make sense

  4. I just figured something out which I’m not sure everyone else knows. But Gamefreak loves bugs and Bug-Types that they actually did Butterfly collecting this Generation with the different regional patterns for Vivillon!

  5. I see what Game Freak did! Instead of giving us many new Pokemon, they gave us a ton of Mega Evolutions, which honestly balances things out now that we’re getting more and more Mega’s 😀

    • That’s what I’m bummed about. It’s supposed to be a optional thing that I don’t even care or like and it’s taking the attention from Game Freak that could have been making new pokémon or normal evolutions instead of this gimmicky thing called mega evolutions.

    • I didn’t know we would get so many! At first I was meh, but now I am digging all of the new designs of my favorite pokemon…especially the pokemon revealed the past two days!

    • 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.
