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.

  2. If someone preordered the game from GameStop around the beginning of this week, and the game comes out on the 12th … will they get it exactly on the 12th [if the store is close] ? Or will they have to wait til Monday ? D:

    • The store is supposed to be open. They receive the copies in advance to prepare. I pre-ordered it earlier from GameStop too. You just go on Saturday to get the game 🙂

  6. I’m not sure if anyone has said this, but you guys say that mega tyratinar is x exclusive and aggron is y exclusive but in the serebii pokedex it says the opposite. Which one is true??

  7. Why is everyone hating on the fact that Greninja has parts of his body coloured yellow, it doesn’t make that much of a difference and doesn’t make look any less cooler.
    Stop nit picking at all the little things people!

  8. Okay so you can get the Mega Stone for the Kanto starter that is strong against the one you picked in the MAIN GAME not post game like the leaks said except it costs 1,000.000 pokedollars :O

  9. 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?
