It appears that this is a legitimate scan and reveals Mega Metagross, who will be used by Steven with his Mega Brooch. The text is small, but we’re working on translating. It appears that its Mega Evolution remains Steel/Psychic, with its ability being Tough Claw. It also gains a significant boost in speed. The rare stone collector Steven retains his title of Champion.
- Gym Leaders Roxanne, Flannery (with Torkoal), Wattson (with Magneton) and Norman as well as Elite 4 members Sydney (with Shiftry) and possibly Pheobe will probably be returning

FEATURED THREAD: My Biggest Pet Peeve in Pokemon X & Y
Is it bad that I just now figured out that when someone says refresh you don’t have to actually refresh the whole page? ;~;
I’m sorry… but yes.
;_;
It’s alright. It took me a little bit to figure out as well
Really? 😮 You don’t have to?
I think we will get the amercian triler for mega metagross tommorow during the 7/11 nintendo 3ds direct
also il watch while drinking y free slurp
slurpee*
wait, there’s a direct?!
I heard it was only Japanese…
for japan
oh wait nvm
wow didn’t know this. Japanese trailer & english trailer simultaneously hopefully. I mean.. I still think the thing is ugly – but I would love to see a trailer for it
no just no
same words I spoke when I saw its design ^_^
😉 the 700 bst will crush your words
I’m not frightened of it. I’ll take it out definitely. I don’t plan to use it either, its quite literally the only pokemon out of every Pokemon designed that I don’t find remotely attractive. There is a first for everything. But I am looking forward to seeing a trailer on it nonetheless
things I like: Hoenn
things I dont like:
Smeargles with dark void
burnt cookies
Why would smeargle carry dark void of spore?
To hit Grass Types…and hits all opponents in doubles
I guess
doubles :/
no grass type immunity
To basically troll like no troll has ever done before while still being legal.
Lavaridge Cookie? xD
Is there anything good burnt?
Hey that’s my list! (just add /vp/ to the don’t like list)
I just don’t like Smeargle.
I once faced a full team of King’s Shield and Dark Void Smeargle. Sooo annoying. But then they missed Dark Void three times in a row and rage quit xD
they had a victini ;~;
Ohh. That’s genius, but at the same time horrible xD
I run:
Smeargle
Magic Bounce Espeon
Magic Guard Clefable
Magic Guard Sigilyph
Mega Gardevoir with Echoed Voice
Altaria
be careful for bisharp sweeps
Too much magic. Are you a Wizard?
Yes. I’m in a guild called Fairy Tail and I use what’s called Pixie Magic, one of the Top 10 most powerful types of magic and I’m immune to Dragon Slayers of any Generation. 😀
Altaria is magic alone
Mega Fairy/Dragon Altaria!
needs more magic guard XD
I’m planning on getting rid of Gardevoir for Magic Guard Alakazam.
add Magic Guard Reuniclus too xD
I wanna try testing out an Unaware Clefable. So if I baton pass into it while the other opponent sets up dragon dance or something, their stat boosts won’t effect it. Sometime in the future though.
I plan to breed a full baton pass team soon.
I have an insane theory, but just bare with me. Mega Metagross has a goatee, claw arms, and (supposedly) Tough Claws. You know who else shares all of these traits? Barbaracle. Mega Barbaracle confirmed.
weird that aerodactyl’s mega has a goatee and tough claws too
Now it’s double confirmed.
whatta beasttt O__O
a very..horrifying one too. ….seriously, imagine running into that thing in person. I think he might end up being a power house
@Slip… I traded for a Hyper Voice Gardevoir a few days ago ^_^
I can’t wait to test out its powah compared to my Sylveon’s.
You know what’s even more deadlier? Echoed Voice Gardevoir… it KO’ed a Mega Scizor with 2 hits.
It’s risky.. but I should try it sometime. Is that the one that increases in power everytime you use it?
By the way, with Choice Specs Hyper Voice Sylveon, I 1KO’d a mega mawile
Mega Mawile has terrible defenses though. 😀
Ahh that explains why lol.
95 Sp. Def is average for me! lol
Sorry to butt into this convo, but I LOVE Echoed Voice! It’s so underestimated, but use it a few times and along with Metronome, it’s deadly
Ahh cool!! I’ll definitely try it out then!
Yes. Without proper evaluation, it could cost you a lost. Risky but entertaining. 😀
Hyper voice mega gardevoir has swept many teams :,D
My Planned Set:
Magic Guard Alakazam
Magic Guard Clefable
Magic Guard Sigilyph
Magic Guard Reuniclus
Magic Bounce Espeon
Mega Absol with Magic Bounce
😀 lol
WATCH OUT FOR BISHARP
Now that’s what I’m talkin about XD
And I will have a team of Dittos!
No Magician Delphox? XD
or Magician Hoopa ^_^
jk with the last one lol
Person on showdown:
*ten seconds of inactivity*
Person:”Move your fat ass”
Me: “No”
Person: “Okay let your terrible noob team lose”
Me: “You use charizard y, an aegislash and a greninja. 2 Ou 4 me”
Person: “You still have a noob team”
Me: “None of my pokemon are OU. All are UU or NU. At least I’m able to battle with out OU town carrying me.”
Person: “Okay lose now”
Me: “No. you aren’t worth my time.”
*closes out of tab*
I was I had his username so I could find him and hurt him more with words though :/
Rude Showdown players are always interesting to talk to lol
One of them made fun of me for using a special Aegislash, then I told them that it has 150 special attack and they didn’t reply xD
and they’re so unexpected 😀
I know xD
Just RB meh and es cool! 😀
ok :3
But if you were to continue, can you beat him?
Yes. I had my plusle and minun set up.
Should have taught him a lesson and beat him, so the hurtful words after the match hurt more.
I wanted to be the better person ;~;
You already are. 😉
If I face him one day, I’ll bring my sunflora. He will know what humiliation really feels like 😉
Only Regi can make me feel afraid of a Sunflora.
That was entertaining to read. Anyways. Showdown people will rage at you if the wind blows the wrong way. I remember back in 5th gen. I was using a curse body jellicient and my opponent was using a scarfed medicham. Curse bodies activated and he was stuck in struggle. He than raged at me for using curse body over water absorb XD
Literally do not get in the way of mega metagross while is blasting off in the air. his spike looks like it can kill D:
I don’t pay attention to smogon’s tiers (and use what I want)… but I’m willing to bet they ban Megagross for some kind of OP niche it has lol.
Oh, definitely.
Never have, never will haha
^_^
Primal Kyogre FTW LOOOL
I know people complain about legends but I mean come on.. that thing is a beauty. I just HAVE to run that thing online.
o_o Then remind me never to battle you. I like my teams…not destroyed xD
ROTLMMFAOOOOO IT’s okay. I rarely battle anyone here. 80% of them don’t even use their physical cartridges XD
Most of my battles come from my Twitter followers & serebii’s chat room
YAAAAAY I’m the 80%! 😀
If people complain about legends they should make teams that can stop one. IMO
POW!!!!! THIS!!
Still using it tho.
I use what I like, but I do look at their site for help. I don’t care about tiers.
I used to look at their site a lot too, but I came to a point where I build my own sets/spreads without guidance.
Yeah, there should have been no tiers and bans, cause they’re all in the game for a reason 😀 plus the tiers are stupid and make people use stupid teams, not pkmn they like.
I doubt it considering they never banned Mega TTar or Mega Chomp. Or even Mega CharX despite it having tough claws and an actual boosting move
I heard talk of both Char’s being up for banning. (Twitter talk)
And Ttar and Chomp doesn’t have that great Steel typing though
If they are banned I subsequently take a flash drive with showdown on it and repeatedly bash it with a hammer. :I
Is Twitter Talk ever legit a just people with too much time on their hands.
Only way Mega Gross gets banned is if it get Shift Gear. Please make this happen….I want my Shift Gear Metagross
yes, please
That would be so amazing XD
The way I see it is that tiers only limit a battler’s knowledge to a select few. So it is even more satisfying when something catches people off their comfort zone.
Metagross sucks now tho
Its mega wont tho
Djja challenge me.
Ahhhhhhh the numbness is going away!!
I really hope Smogon gets taken down in a couple of years by Gamefreak. I know it won’t happen but still. I mean, people should use what they like, and not have to worry about what a group of people running a website telling them what they should use. The idea is terrible. One of the main themes in pokemon is being unique, especially with your team. This is why I am not a competitive battler and probably never will be, because people like them will judge me based on my opinion.
When do they ever tell you to use what they tell you to?
It’s not direct, but it’s there. It’s like they’re saying, if you want to be good, you better follow our standards.
I’m not seeing that. Just don’t follow if you don’t like it? Not that I like smogon, but a video game is all about how the person wants to play it, and I’m sure smogon has that in mind. You’re misunderstanding comp.
I guess I just don’t like the idea that the games are great, and have a lot of paths to choose in the ways of battling. To me, it seems that because of Smogon, the paths are more limited, if that makes sense.
You don’t have to believe that though. Just do whatever you want. Play to win, play for fun, or both. you don’t have to see things you don’t want to see.
Smogon isn’t competitive, Smogon is Smogon.
I disagree. That’s basically saying “I don’t like you, you should be eliminated.”
They, by no mean, force you to use what they set up. It’s optional. They cannot do anything to make you follow their rules. They are helpful with their calculator, moveset and such.
other people learn from their stupidity.
Its leak a bad odor.
Kill it at the source XD
They’re digging their own grave. The board on GameFaqs were in a rage when they found out smogon is discussing banning baton pass. I didn’t see not 1 positive comment about them.
Why are they even considering banning baton pass? It’s a good move that helps a lot of teams. It’s a strategy, so why must it be banned?
because they never heard of Roar, Taunt, & Whirlwind.
Skarmory behind a Sub top lel
good lord. It’d be my 2nd ever rage quit tbh lol
Oh. Well thennnnnnnnn
The thing with smogon is… they’re trying to take the luck factor out of Pokemon. While they’re at it, just ban every move that doesn’t deal damage, ban every mega & legend, & ban every item. Then you’ll have what they’re set out to do.
To me it seems like they’re banning everything that they can’t counter because they’re so bad and provincial in thought. Oh well.
ALL THE SHOTS FIRED!
SPOT THE HECK ON!!! PREACH.
In my opinion, your opinion is shitty.
Lol
I’m sorry to hear that. Can I ask why?
While I don’t agree with your opinion, I still found it funny XD
I’m glad you benefited from this experience.
The ones you should blame are the people who copy paste smogon sets, gets a couple of wins, and thinks their team is better than things that are not smogon sets based on the few wins they have. If you face top competitive battlers, not only are movesets non-standard, but so are the EVs. But chances are the people that think condescendingly haven’t faced any top battler yet.
You don’t have to use Smogon. Only Smogon azzholes actually force it down your throat.
I never use their rules cause they are lame to me, and If it’s still useable according to gamefreak then who is to say I can’t use it myself… BUT that is just for people who like it. I have been battling forever and Never had anyone care I don’t use there rules.. well some care but don’t avoid battling me or give me much flack for it .. it’s pretty non existent until someone being it up and which I just ignore them
Don’t use Pokemon Showdown, problem solved, stop complaining.
Lel
I’m sorry for stating my opinion… Everyone else got to say theirs no problem, but mine is so controversial?
It’s not that. It’s just. The whole smogon topic is like beating a dead horse.
THIS! This would have been a better thing to say! I completely agree and therefore I’ll stop talking on the matter.
You’re okay in my book bro. You were just following up in response to smogon possibly banning Megagross. Glad you voiced your opinion! Never feel discourage to do so.
Thanks.
It isn’t controversial. Everyone is just tired of hearing it. And you don’t have to use Smogon, and honestly, more and more people have stopped using it for rules. Play how you want, not by what others tell you.
Thank you! Sorry people are tired of it, but I’ve only recently starting paying more attention to things like competitive battling.
It’s fine. You stated your opinion on it respectfully. Smogon isn’t great. Nothing wrong with that 🙂
Sorry, i don’t want to start a opinion war, better stop comenting.
It’s all about the strategy. Smogon enforcement are emanating negativity and positivism at the same time. It’s a complex equation but at least there’s a house for both parties.
I also think we shouldn’t pretend Smogon players don’t think they are immediately top tier. They follow it because it works for them… But most aren’t forcing it on us
That’s how I feel, with tons of strategies created by Smogon just being forced upon people, making it seem less fun, and discouraging me from ever trying to get into battling.
Oops edited
Follow the leader~~~~~
I’m right here
Lemme tell you like…. XD
Or people agreeing with other people’s opinion XD
Who?
Where ever the wind blows I assume
Me, bow before my greatness.
What?
I understand 0 of this… 0_0
Oooh more arguing. I knew it. Every time this topic gets bought up
On a more serious note. Shift Gear Metagross needs to be a thing
That’s why we need move tutors in ORAS.
There are a lot of different pokemon fans, some only care about story, some only collecting, some only battling, some only adventure, and plenty a mixture of the above. But we all exist in the same community so lets make this work out.
Yeh listen to this man here.
No
l love you
I will No your face.
uhmmm.. yeah… about that ^_^
jk regi… love the optimism
That’s why there are different types of Pokemasters!! 😀
LOL the “story”
Smogon has its uses, it helped me start competitive battling. But when they start banning stuff or creating clauses (except for sleep), it makes me feel like there’s no skill involved with smogon.
I don’t mind some of their clauses to be honest. I usually like playing by their rules, but if I battle someone who doesnt go by it, I don’t mind it either. I’d still battle them.
And evasion clause! Evasion clause was much needed
*Sits back and watches the comments role while eating Pop-Corn* Let the War commence.
stop being fat
no
I’m actually underweight…
Ohhhhhhhhh ..
that butterlicious popcorn says otherwise.
I will help you get through this.
Thought you said you would never talk to me?
Weight is not a joke.
Just admit you can’t stop not talking to Celestial. And yes, I’m underweight but it’s fine, I don’t have anorexia or anything. 😀
But… you’re fat! 😮
hey PM bruh
Roll* popcorn* Sorry, it really bothered me.
Ooops! lol
Saying that doesn’t help, and nobody is starting a war. We are being respectful about it 😛
:O The seedlings have finally bloomed!
What…? lol
You know, whenever a user brings up a debatable or a topic conceived as “controversial,” everyone get’s so defensive and at times disrespect each other. The seedling has finally matured and bloomed, it’s a metaphor.
I’m watching TDI so Idc. Also, my face is getting back it’s feeling!!, 😀
yessssssssss
CHRIS TOOK BOTOX AND SHAVED D:
You watch TDPI too :o?
Mhmm. I love that show.
I love it too 😮 TDPI is one of the best seasons :p (yes I saw all episodes.I won’t spoil anything XD)
What is the best ability for Milotic? I just got a Dream Ball 6IV Feebas with Swift Swim, so I’m going with that.
the ability to mega evolve
LOL
Both are amazing. Depends if you’re running defensive or offensive
Which one is defensive? 😮
Marvel Scale. But I personally run a hybrid of Competitive and Hp/Def/SpD EVs
Defensive Miltoic: marvel scale
Offensive: competive
But, 9/10 I would pick marvel scale. The other ability is situational.
I see. Thank you. 🙂
Oh dang, I forgot to get mine from Rio >.<
Marvel Scales!
I’M MADE….. OF CHILDREN!!!! (0 _ 0)
WHAT?
EXACTLY!
have you never had sex ed before?
LOL!
*COUGH* (0 .0)
I’m so hype for the video of MMetagross! 😀 I’m so glad I have a shiny one! 😛
I’ve had this 6iv metagross sitting in my pc since december and never used it a day in my life LOL.
http://s10.postimg.org/op6adpod5/metagross.png
……. You spoiled brat! Just kidding! lol
LOL! It’s TSVed. Someone traded it to another person with a matching SV of the egg so it can hatch shiny for them.
I’ll take that off your hands… Free Of charge ( n_n)
I’ve had mine for 2 years, before I knew about IVs. :I
Ahhh!! We found out about IV’s around the same time then ^_^ pretty cool – took me a bit to differentiate them from EVs haha
Yup! But hey, a shiny metagross is a shiny metagross! 🙂
Please show us what a Shiny Mega Metagross looks like….when the time comes.
I still love my shiny metagross. had it forever. and now my partner finally gets a mega. i couldn’t be happier!
(to anyone watching TDPI) Max is a freakin psycho LOL
I totally forgot it was on!! ;-;
It’s funny. Topher trying to take Chris’s place, I love it! Samey too!
Sure……..Someone is __________ :3
Sugar is love, sugar is life
No! Arceus.. I dunno how spells it
i stand corrected. SUGAR is a psycho
Something that MUST return in ORAS from XY is an IV checker (like the one in Kiloude).
And Move Tutors from BW2!
I’m hoping they save those for the Zygarde game lol… Because the demon in me wants the competitive scene to suffer a little longer.
how about something on the bottom screen that checks IVs instead of having to fly back and forth 50 gagillion time
@Gamefreak
*take notes*
That, or just put the Judge in the Daycare.
I would prefer it this way!! So conveniant 0_0 Genius iggy!
