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!

Everyone! Your rival is the one who gives you the starter but it’s not the one she picked at the start. It’s the offspring you get.
So the opposite to your starter? Or the other? Because from what I know you split the starters between two more friends (ergo, all three get picked), right?
I believe it’s the one weak against yours.
Oh God, then I’m definitely picking Froakie so I can get Fennekin as well! Awesome news, man!
It is! Except it’s after the Elite Four (Post game) 🙁
well have EXP Share that affect all pokemon so it works out well
I meant if he wants to use it as part of his team he can’t because it’s after the Elite Four.
Yeah, that’s a definite inconvenient, I don’t battle competitively.
I guess it’s for Pokedex purposes as well.
Does anyone know how soon you get your gen 1 starters?
after or before second gym
Thanks. I needed to know since I really want to choose Charmander.
How soon do you get their mega stones?
They come with it 🙂
(I wasn’t the one who disliked)
Any news on how to evolve gourgiest
pumpkaboo*
Its just by level up ^-^
what level?
Haven’t evolved mine yet so I have no idea :3
I heard you evolve it through trade.
Got anyone nearby you can trade with? Try it out.
Ha, that was a pitiful mistake. What kind of pokemon fan am I? 🙂
According to Serebii it’s apparently by trade.
I couldn’t find it on serebii. Where di u see it on there?
Here ya go.
http://www.serebii.net/xy/forms.shtml
thank you
Form changes under X and Y.
#710 Pumpkaboo & #711 GourgeistDetails:
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.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well that’s a bummer…………I wanted to train a pumpkaboo and evolve it into Gourgeist on my own………*sigh* Guess I’ll have to think of something else…
Or you could trade with a Pokejungler and not give up hope on the little pumpkin gourd thing.
Ya I guess. I’ll just have to see how it goes I suppose 😛
I mean I’m planning on Trevenant in Y and Gourgeist in X so it’s no picnic for me either if Trevenant evolves through trade as well.
Hahaha fair enough
Is it really? I have been leveling my gourgeist FOR NOTHING!!
pumpkaboo 🙂
He will be a gourgeist, plus can’t help it they are new pokemon I get mixed up
Wait a minute… If R/B/Y remakes were made for Gen 3 and R/S/E are going get remakes shouldn’t FireRed and LeafGreen get one too?
Well we had HGSS
I hope! But fire red and leaf green are remakes.
Yes but they were made in the same Gen as R/S/E, if R/S/E are getting remakes then FR/LG should get one as well to enhance the experience. I would be happy enough with Gen 3 though.
Kanto was in RBY, GSC, FRLG, and HGSS
Good point.
I thought so too. I expect a virtual console release for gen 1 games instead though.
Can I just say, I have been playing this game for precisely, 11 hours and 4 minutes and I’m not even at the city with the second gym XD hahaha.
ME LIKE!!! xD
Yuuss!
Have you been catching all the pokemon ^-^
Yup I’ve been exploring and catching Pokémon etc.
I can see why leakers took so long now.
“Anticipation made it (me) shudder” Can’t wait! I love that so I don’t breeze through the game in one weekend!
For the first time ever i’m gonna try to fully enjoy the game not just rush through. It’s that feeling u get when playing a game the first time that u can never, ever get back.
I somehow feel like I’m going to be in Lumiose City for a day lol. That place is huge!
haha, keep that feeling alive!
You can only explore a section of Lumiose City when you first go there as there’s a blackout. 🙂
Why don’t they just call Clemont? XD
They probably do, while you are off doing something else.
Lol haven’t ever noticed they leave stuff to a 10 year old, I mean there is 8 gyms 4 elite four members and an champion. But nooooo leave to the 10 year old
It’s more like a real adventure and less like an afternoon.
Yeah I’m gonna be looking through every nook and cranny, for fun, and because my guide won’t come in until a week after I get it.
“Oh. Hordes can be triggered more often with things such as Honey, Sweet
Scent etc. Considering they often have Pokémon that can’t be found
anywhere else, or with their Hidden Abilities, it’s a good way to go”
-Serebii
I should keep a note of this.
I might do this for EV training
Combining hordes, power items and pokerus would really cut down time.
Plus the added benefit of finding exclusive abilities….really can do 2 things at once
Don’t forget that catching pokemon also gives experience and hence EVs as well
Can’t deny that hordes was a cool idea, but are double wild battles confirmed or is hordes the replacement?
hmmm not sure about that….
why not just use super training?
Sweet Scent eh? Looks like my Mawile will be a great asset when it comes to triggering Horde Battles. Can any non legendary Pokémon be found in Horde Battles? If so, then I’d love to get my Litwick with its hidden ability!
I believe so…..I wish starters were also included in the wild…-_-
Yeah, that does suck. But I guess starters were never meant to be caught in the wild anyway. The closest we have ever gotten to doing that though was in Colosseum and XD.
Does anyone have a map where all the gyms are?
I can’t wait for tomorrow night! Midnight release WOOT WOOT!
Too cool
Can’t wait for 2 days 🙁
😛
One more day of school + homework + waiting until 9 AM= 🙁
Hahaha, no school for me tomorrow 😛 Make sure you get the HW done, and enjoy the weekend playing Y 😀 And make sure you set your alarm to get up haha.
I already have 4 set up! This is going to be the highlight of the year for me xD Luckier than a leprechaun! No school + Both games = Happy TCMets
I have no school on Monday also ^_^
:OOOO
:O
Wait for it…
:OO WHHATT!?
Columbus Day 😀
Wait could my school not have class that they!? I have to ask! *Hopes*
Day*
Depends on where you live. I know not everyone gets off for Columbus Day.
I don’t remember. I don’t remember going to school on Columbus Day. Or maybe I do…?
Well, lemme know if you find out you have off 😀
;_; I have to wait for my copy in the mail…..
But I know it’s been shipped today xD
Well that’s good! At least you know it’s on the way 😀
If you are getting a pumpkaboo what size will you try to get? For me its large and I will keep it as a pumpkaboo for a while for the hit points! HP ALL THE WAY!!!
Keeping your Pokemon unevolved for longer benefits its evolution?
for pumpkaboo only goto serebii new pokemon forms page and scroll down to pumpkaboo
It changes upon evolution ^-^
The switch from sprites to 3D models did not bode well for sentret… someones been eating 1 too many poffins..
XD link? please?
I just encountered it but ill see if i can get a snap of its pokedex model for you.
thanks I forgot u had the game. How is it? If u just have ur starter at the 1st gym will you have trouble?
I managed the 1st gym fine with my Lvl: 14 Froakie so you shouldn’t have any problems….unless you are going with Chespin which may run into some trouble. The game is great! Lumiose City is HUGGGEE…i’m actually glad you can only access 1/4 of it to begin with otherwise it would take forever! But yeah the game is amazing. You won’t be disappointed. And here is Fat Sentret btw XD
Pudgy little guy isn’t he? hahaha
Yup….i can see the weightwatchers meme’s now. Or the court case of Sentret VS GameFreak lol
nah man, chespin gets rollout which is 4x supereffective vs viola’s vivillion
If its a high enough level i suppose but it will still have more trouble than the others plus some of the gym trainers have some decent pokemon too.
XD! I think I saw that
Hey for anyone that has the game.Is Vivillan any good? I mean compared to using Butterfree in game, which I think isn’t too bad that is.
Don’t have the game but vivillon has decent HP, low defences, high speed and high sp atk. So a lot better than butterfree!
Hmmmmm definitely something to think about hahaha thanks!
Yup no problem! I’m definitely using one!
Saturday morning for me will be like a little kid’s waking up on Christmas Day!
GUYS….you can reset EVs to 0 in Super Training…….
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!
….Yes….
YES!!!!
will u lose stats
Of course…other wise it’s OP…but now you don’t have to worry about in-game
No more freaking berries! <3
YES!!!!
That means I can EV train Chespin easily! I’ve been thinking this whole time, ugh, gotta harvest berries that I hope are available. But now it’ll be super easy!
You can even not bother to train as you can reset EVs anytime in the game… I love this
So glad!! Makes it so much easier.
Yes! That is amazing! now they only need to take out IVs and I will love them forever.
I would love game freak forever if we can use super training to improve IVs
I know. I want a Pokemon metagame that everyone can get into if they want.
Though I’m an IV breeder I would like a better method to getting proper IV’s
agreed
Here is my problem with them. Every competitive battler trains them to get 31 points in every stat. That would make all of the teams have an equal stat increase. If they just removed IVs, we would have an equal stat increase anyway, without all of the tedious work.
When you take into consideration that there are now over 700 Pokemon, an easier way to raise them shouldn’t be too much to ask for. I would love competitive battling to become a lot bigger, but because of the work it takes with IVs and EVs people don’t want to bother, my self included. I just use battle simulators cause I don’t have the time or patience to train IVs.
Yes! I can EV train my ingame team for once!
Apparently you have access to it immediately at the start of the game, even before the first battle
T_T IM just soooo Happy
Pokemon XY Anime Opening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zH6ZF9Wt6M
Did they show the first episode of x and y yet.
I’m not to sure, but there’s been a few screenshots around the web so I think it’s aired. But I have to say that’s the best Opening I’ve seen in a loooong time.
Let’s hope it dubs over well and my boy getting a Frokie his first fully evolved water starter may happen.
That’s next week. Today, Japan was supposed to watch the Iris special, but it got delayed for some reason.
Love the look of this…has a very AG series feel to it! And i love that each of the main 3 will receive 1 of the starters and not Ash getting them all again because it means each will get more development 😀
All three main characters (excluding Max of course) each got their own starter as well. Hoenn…you know already.
YUP 😀 Thats why this series is looking promising. AG was one of the strongest series and my personal favourite of the post original series.
fuck. i wanted ash to get chespin.
But then he would most likely not evolve it!
Last time he only had one starter was Treecko and he fully evolved it! Maybe he will finally have a fully evolved Water starter this time around! Here’s also to hoping that Clemont and Serena fully evolve Chespin and Fennekin too.
Personally, I’d rather have him keep it as a Frogadier forever. I frickin adore Frogadier so much, and whilst Greninja is awesome, I don’t like him nearly as much as Froakie.
maybe, but he evolved his torterra and infernape
he never evolves his cute pokemon 🙁
I REALLY hope that the dub does a good job with the opening this time around, the last ones were pretty bad for Black and White.
Just watch them play the same opening theme for Adventures in Unova in the XY Series.
This will be the best anime ever!
Maybe this might be good.
Maybe.
How many blocks does X and Y take up?
IDK, but I believe it is 1.43 GB.
14,000 Blocks or roughly 1.7 GB
So that fit on my 8GB sd card
Is there a Youngster Joey in this game?
With his top percentage Rattata
YES!!! there is!!!
bunnelby maybe?
He has a Scatterbug and a Fletchling. 😛
His Ratatta is too overleveled to be fought in the beginning of the game. He’ll bring him back…at a later place…at a later time.
Yes but he uses Scatterbug and Fletchling lol
Hi guys, my friend and I are sitting here playing the new Pokémon games, and I am about 8 hours ahead of him, yet he has more PokéMiles than me… Can someone explain both what they are, how you earn them and what I can do with them? Thanks. 🙂
You are playing the game….
;_; *cries
You have the games we don’t, how should we know XDD Just kidding.
In all seriousness I think that it could be how much you have traveled in the game maybe?
Have your students played the game with you yet? 😀
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.
Serebii has confirmed that flamethrower, thunderbolt, ice beam and surf have all been dropped to 90 power
O_O….Yay Defense
… are they maybe trying to make matches last longer?
yeah…because now….it’s literally I kill you in one turn…and then you kill me on one turn….rinse and repeat
They better not have nerfed my Earthquake!
Have you seen it’s animation? It looks amazing!
Is it better than Colloseum?
The ground shakes and it breaks up into pieces almost. Maybe not as great as Colosseum but it’s definitely something. You want to see it for yourself?
I’ll wait till the 12th….xD
I want to see it!!
Nope, not yet! I will though 😀
I hope tomorrow (Friday) Corocoro leaks all the Mega Evolutions!
I hope they finally show Mega Sableye.
and Mega Heracross!
and Mega Yanmega.
Why would there be another corocoro?
We’ve only seen 6 out of 20 pages so far
Class is starting now TTYL!
Can someone please explain to me exactly what IV’s are and how super training works? I’m an idiot.
IV’s are stats a pokemon is born(hatched) with. Super training is EV training which is used to raise a certain stat of a pokemon significantly 😀
Actually refer to regidudeam’s reply on IV’s…
at level 100,
every stat can have a variation from 0-31 points. That’s completely dependent on IV and it’s fixed…permanent.
A black guy in X and Y
HJ
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.
I’m sorry I wavered momentarily in my allegiance to Froakie. That official art does Greninja so much justice. Revamping the team around my favorite slimy ninja.
I am so agreeing with you…I love it now after seeing the art work and shiny
Ugh, yes! Black shinies have always been my favorite. Now I just need an Infernape to team Greninja up with…
With the amount of NPC’s that just give you stuff in this game you would think i was walking up to everyone going “give me stuff or my froakie will ninja slap you” XD
U have the game already?
Yup, got both this morning 😀
Dammit ure a lucky man
Is magikarp in the game?
Yes lol… it has a weird model. It just splashes up and down on it’s side. Really goofy looking.
YES YES
Oh man u made me hype!
