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.

We’ve received our copies of Pokemon X & Y, so be sure to check out our coverage of Pokemon X & Y for everything and anything Gen 6!

I can’t remember a time when Corocoro was ever as hyped up as it was for this months issue.
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.
They brought back the pokeradar so I would assume there would be that chance for a 1 in 200 chance shiny ^-^
Stupid question but is larvitar in pokemon X?
Larvitar’s line can only be found on Y, and Aggron’s line can only be found on X.
You’ll have to trade Pokémon to use their Megas.
Well who needs a aron cause I need that larvitar XD Also thanks EGG and Star Bits for the info.
I do! >:0
Deal..also noob question how do I find my friend code cause I’d like to add you if possible, never really had a reason to use them until now.
Go on the little smiley orange icon on the 3DS’ home menu, there you’ll see your friend card with your friend code, Mii and Name.
FC: Ty 0361-6521-1078
Mine is 3050-7857-3400.
I’m at school atm, so I’ll add you when I’m home.
Nope.
guys are thought the pokedex thats reveled by serebii is include all pokemon ? i mean we dont get any new legendary event?
Hard to tell yet, no one can get them yet obviously and the 3DS hasn’t been hacked. I’m betting there will be a couple 🙂
I remember reading about “downloadable” legendaries in the future, not sure where.
Guess it was a wishlist, like mine xD
I guess so. But I’m pretty sure I read about it as a rumor.
What exactly does filter do?
Super Effective attacks deal 1/4 damage to the Pokémon with this ability. Pretty neat, huh?
Welcome to the team, Mega Agron.
I’ll be getting Y, so I won’t get my hands in one until I finish the game…Or perhaps I can trade with someone here? 😀
I’d trade gladly as long as you give me the megastone for tyrannitar.
I’m fine with that 😀
If you wanna add me my friend code is: 3351-40752226
I’m at school right now, I’ll add you when I get home.
3050-7857-3400
Ok sounds good.
Am I missing something, when you trade your 3ds friend code are you at the same time trading game friend codes?
The Nintendo 3DS has only one friend code 🙂
What would you like your name to be? EGG?
Register me as Amon. What do I register you as?
Yes
they are automatically added to the game as far as I know plus this time around you can immerdiately trade and from anywhere in the game.
Reduces super effective moves power by 25%
So because of that I’m assuming Aggron gets boosts in attack or something.
Just realised something, MegaAggron will be Dragons new best friend….
Personally I like Mega Aggron much more than Mega Tyranitar. Filter + Pure Steel Type…..so much YES!!!
Both MegaAggron and MegaTyranitar look beastly. While TTar didn’t get anything new with the MegaEvolution, a buff in it’s stats will make him terrifying (more so than he already is). Can’t wait to train one up….
He deserves that boost after Fairy types
Exactly…I honestly can’t wait for Smogons analysis on this thing.
Now all i need for XY to be prefect is a MegaMetagross. He deserves one as well after Steel got nerfed and he picked up 2 new weaknesses…
Metagross NEEDS one XD
Agreed
He used to be my favorite before Hydreigon appeared
I loved metagross….until they made air balloon
Metagross and Tyranitar. 2 of my all time favourites….
Why thank you.
True stats buff are gonna be vital against all the new threats
Delphox has more ear hair than an Indian man.
While I sadly agree, I’d rather not think about that…
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! 😀
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!
And Tyranitar really looks like a dark type now
I really hope Mega evolutions become illegal in tournaments and on wifi, it’s just an unfair advantage.
Well, not really. Could be a nice way to turn the game around.
You can only activate one Mega per battle.
Well both are powerful Pokemon in my arsenal!
i like mega aggron but i hate mega tyranitar he looks like all his evos fused into one but it my opinion
wait wait wait i have to do trade just to do mega
Am I the only one seeing Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron as Godzilla monsters that need to fight amidst Lumiose city?
hell yeah DO IT GAMEFREAK
haha! yup! whats ur friend code btw if u dont mind? 🙂
4742-5947-5291 XD
5300-9417-3764..mine 🙂
added u
The only thing that is bothering me is greninja being yellow. Are u guys trying to make him look even worse???????????????
it can just be the way the scan came out
How much power does Water Shuiken do?
Water Shuriken
Type: Water-type
Physical
Base Power: 15
Effect: Hits 2 to 5 times
From Smogon
Darn, I thought it would be stronger.
Isn’t 15…Weak?
does it have priority?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPX1bctnpms
I think this is appropriate….
This.
Well I’m sold…
but my Rhyperior is ways better
One Earthquake equals one dead Aggron!
But not a dead MegaAggron
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
That’d be pretty cool.
However they wouldn’t be able to evolve Heliolisk due to Helioptile evolving through Sun Stone.
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?
Exactly.
Thank you. It’s just hard to understand when tons of other people are saying the opposite. .-.
You’re welcome!
Mega Gengar is awesome. Cannot wait to use him!
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!
I’m just a little weirded out by the yellow in Greninja.
Same here, but eh..could’ve been worse.
I guess it could be only the artwork. In-game pictures show that as white…
Maybe a Gender difference?
That maybe true. You might be onto something.
Man I still can’t decide between Delphox and Greninja… any advice on how to solve this once and for all?
Look at which pokemon you would like to use and make a team based around each one then choose based on which overall team you like best 😀 Im currently using Froakie (now a frogadier) and its great!
That is my problem: i uasually don’t have a team. I’m constantly changing pokemon in and out.
isn’t there a rumor that someone will give you the starter that is weak to yours
Yeah so if you pick Froakie you’ll eventually have a Delphox too! But you won’t have the special bond with Fenniken DX
There is. And that’s why I’ve been thinking about starting with Froakie so i can get Delphox later on. I honestly don’t care much for Chespin. Then again, I’m getting both games so I can get em all anyway.
Was it weak or strong? I heard both versions.
i heard weak
Look at greninjas tongue and then the answer should come to yo
XD Yes that is pretty much the only reason I’m not instapicking froakie
*slowly awaits more scan leaks because there is no way this is all of it*
What they don’t tell you is thats really the Shiny Garchomp.
You’d never be able to tell either way
But, it’s not.
My Team so far will be Delphox, Greninja, and Sylveon!
What starter are you using! You don’t get your rivals starter til the end of the main story!
They can always trade to get another starter.
True!
I need someone to trade me a froakie :~~~
