Don’t forget to check out our Corocoro updates here and here!
Much, much later than we wished to, we’re bringing our readers the penultimate update on the 2014 PokéJungle Tournament before the first battles commence. We’ve decided to make some changes to the format of the tournament to help with how it’ll run when we begin later this month.
PJT ’14 Format Changes
At the end of May we announced that our tournament would run over five rounds, with players earning points in each round and the top 8 players after all rounds proceeding to three elimination rounds, this has now changed.
The changes we’ve made have been done so to remove the pressure of having to be available for the entire period of the tournament. Players will now be placed into groups, in these groups every player will battle one another once. When all battles have been completed (and tie-breakers completed if necessary) the top player from each group will move forward into the elimination rounds.
Players will need to confirm participation below so we can finalise groups and group balancing before the start date of the tournament. Group stage battles will take place over the same dates as the Rounds were previously planned to take place, with a maximum of three groups battling at any time. All match-ups posted before now are to be ignored.
As it stands any drop outs will no longer be filled by stand-ins, until we announce otherwise.
We have also decided to push the tournament start date back. This is to allow participants time to confirm their entry (see below) and for us to finalise players in each group.
Lavender, Camphrier & Driftveil Group Battles – July 23 — July 27
Canalave, Sunyshore & Cinnabar Group Battles – July 28 — August 1
Ecruteak, Fallarbor & Lumiose Group Battles – August 2 — August 6
Goldenrod, Undella. & Rustboro Group Battles – August 7 — August 11
Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards.
Participant Entry Confirmation
It has been a while since we first opened sign-ups to the tournament, and it’s likely some of those who signed-up are now unable to take part, or simply do not wish to. As such we’ve decided that participants must now confirm their entry using the form below by July 17. Those who do not do so will be removed from the tournament and unable to participate. If you have changed your username since this list was created please inform us and we will change it accordingly.
The following participants are required to fill out the form:
weavileforthewin • EarthenWarrior • Javi Wonka ツ • Miniryu-NInja • RocketClauncher
simkenno • Roksyth • ShinyLickitung • Pokeminion • UmbreonLifts • Edgaroth • Rheneas

[spoiler][/spoiler]
Full Group listings and participant assignments will be made available in our final pre-tournament update by July 18 at the latest. The sooner participants fill out the above form the sooner we can announce final groups and match-ups!

WOAH
So there’s a Rocket Grunt in BW in Icirrus City. Yep, erryone knows that. BUT he’s the one who was messing around in Cerulean City! He says the same phrase, Bye-bye a Go-go! So he’s met the RBG protag and the BW protag.
inb2/w2 there is a team magma ad team aqua couple
‘We found love in a hopeless place’
Yeah, I saw that as well.
Woah O_o And Tamashii predicted the timeline of Pokémon before the official one came out, and errything makes sense now omg!
wa??
i still dont beleive that timeline is 100% accurate and is game canon
It’s accurate. Third versions don’t count. Unless they’re sequels.
;~; Monolith Soft retweeted Nintendo’s Tweet about a new charcter ;~; Shulk confirmed.
gamexplain i see 😉
Yeah xD
They better have Sceptile anyways.
6 pokemon that I predict to be shown in the mega scoop nxt month are:
Grumpig
Altaria
Milotic
Lunatone
Solrock
Torkoal
if you guys could predict 6, who would they be?
Walrien
Dusknoir
Salamence
Shiftry
Milotic
Altaria maybe
niiice on the dusknoir one. I should’ve put him in mine lol. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna get a mega in the game
it REALLY needs it as its getting pretty overshadowed by eviolite dusclops
argh i’m gonna hate battling that damn thing
i mean they must have had a purpose of showing dusknoir and shiftry as sydney’s and phoebe’s ace
I think Shiftry is being used to throw people off and he’s gonna end up with Mega Absol. Because I checked Bulbapedia and their main Pokemon in the RS games are Absol & Dusclops. I feel definite Dusknoir will get one but not sure about Shiftry.
Yeah, plus it already evolves with a stone. Dusknoir is still a stretch imo.
Dusknoi can definitely happen (reaper cloth) because previous pokemon evolved with a trade item before mega’ing. (Scizor-metal coat)
but then again Phoebe also uses a Sableye and whos to say she doesn’t use Mega Sableye
I know it’s not a stone, just debating. I guess Scizor is true… Just skeptical cause they had to give it a revamp, and no they’ll give it another.
Yeah. That image in corocoro with the elite 4 with their mains didn’t mean much to me, because when they showed the gym leaders with their mains, Wattson had Magneton. And magneton is not a fully evolved Pokemon to get a mega.
Plus, I think Manectric should be his mega xD He’s shaming Hoenn.
THIS!!!!!!!!!
Yeah really xD
*Moves from Johto to Hoenn, battles third gym, sees same pokemon he saw at home*
Who’s to say she’ll even use a mega….
Kalos elite4 didn’t use any mega
Cause they were noobs 😛
The hoenn E4 could use mega’s in their rematches..
And I think Kalos E4 didn’t use them cuz x and y portrayed them as something big and that ‘only a few are able to master’
On a side note do you guys think we’ll be able to challenge the e4 in any order?
TrollFreak at It’s best ^^
Altaria, Camerupt, Sharpedo, Plusle, Minun, Kecleon
OMG I really hope they don’t show Kecleon too early I might save myself from looking at its design seriously lol, I want to see him in-game and be shocked. But oooh you chose some goodies, Camerupt & Sharpedo ^_^ I wouldn’t be surprised if they reveal them. You were right about Mega Metagross’ ability. I told everyone you called it ^_^
So happy it got Tough Claws over Iron Fist xD Tho Levitate wouldn’t have been too bad either xD Just another Mega I can’t wait to use xD Didn’t care for many X/Y megas, but ORAS is certainly delivering xD
Holy crap, I ended each statement with xD
xD
Wait. xD
Darn!
Haha
Ug I can’t do that xD
LMAO !!!
And yeah, Levitate would’ve been dope, and a nice nod to the manga. And ORAS is def deliverying. I expect them to bring the total count of megas to around 50-60. 30 in XY and another 20-30 in oras.
deliverying? xD
Are you counting Primal regessions as megas?
Ugh, Disqus not updating comments for me >.:(
Tough claws boosts moves more than iron fist…
I don’t understand why. ..
camerupt and sharpedo seem really likely as they already showed technically archie and maxies mega stone
This exactly.
Oh,
KecleonFlygon.how did you do that???
Walrein
Dusknoir
Shiftry
Salamence
Milotic
Camerupt/Sharpedo
Walrein
Grumpig
Seviper
Zangoose
Shiftry
Dusknoir OR Salamence
Milotic(duh)
Ninetales
Sharpedo
Altaria
Shedinja(BVS would like that)
aaaaaaaand,Camerupt
No Ninetales.
why, it’s awesome
Milotic
Altaria
Sharpedo
Camerupt
Salamence
*surprise*
Wishful thinking but…. Lol. :3
*surprise* = Flygon?
Milotic, Sharpedo, Camerupt, Altaria,Shiftry, Ludicolo
4 common with me wow
Hahaha, Great minds think a like but..
I’m doubting shiftry and ludicolo.
Salamence and Flygon are more likely
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Therrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ya go!
why, thank you
Altaria
Milotic
Plusle
Minun
Walrein
Salamence
Almost everybody has a milotic in their predictions
Cause of contests and Hoenn.
*Wallace ugh!
No because it’s the counterpart o f Gyarados.I can prove it.
Milotic> Life
uhhhhh. no
Okay
So how about
Milotic> Every other hoenn pokemon
NO
YES
NEVER!Sceptile>Milotic.
_-_
Milotic> Every hoenn pokemon who needs a mega but doesn’t have one
Altaria
Milotic
Flygon
Walrein
Torkoal
You can’t have Altaria and Flygon but no Salamence. xD Unless they reveal that with the E4.
Milotic
Ludicolo
Shiftry
Grumpig
Altaria
Torkoal
Milotic
Magmortar
Flygon
camerupt
sharpedo
Porygon Z
What if instead of Hoenn Megas, they show off other region megas? My list:
Milotic
Johto Starters
Salamence
Machamp
I need contrary mega torkial soo can spam over heat and power trick (if he gets it through move tutor)

Ikr *Anime Blinky eyes*
Loveliest sight in the world.
*tries not to laugh*
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmf
Seen from a hole in the ground.
LMFAO YESSSS
I would love it if they base Mega Kecleon off the long nosed chameleon http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/10/08/article-2449455-1899453900000578-181_634x400.jpg
“Swiggity swooty goin for dat booty”
WOW XD Ash goes super saiyan in the manaphy movie XD
and the pirate had a mega suit making him more powerful
mega evolutions confirmed since hoenn XD
The Temple of the sea something?
:/ I wonder if this mega scoop will actually show 6. I think it may show M Milotic cause of contests, Primal Rayquaza cause they need to show it, then go Dragon themed cause of that and show M Lati@s , Flygon, Salamence, Altaria. If Milotic gets Water/Dragon, then they’d all be Dragons! 😀 They could save M Camerupt and Sharpedo to show us at a later point.
The month after could be Important People themed and have the E4 and megas and the Team’s megas.
My only question is, even though Ancient Devolution works similar to Mega evolution, would they show Primal Rayquaza?
They showed Primal Kyogre and Groudon, so wynaut?
Yeah, but they are the Mascots. Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep Primal Rayquaza’s form a secret until after the game is released? Maybe I’m just crazy, and I want Primal Rayquaza just as much as the next guy, but I think it would build the hype keeping it from us for a while. I do agree with everything else you should in you comment above. A water dragon or a water fairy would be pretty cool for Milotic.
Yeah, that’s what I was debating as well :/ Although everyone pretty much knows it’s happening cause you can’t have two members of a trio get one xD
Exactly
I hope if you can get the Kanto Megastones I want Charizard Y for AS 😛
Not until you evolve your Marshtomp.
Nevar ;A;
Please? ;~;
Why don’t u evolve a thosand marshtomps instead? xD
lolwut
I will evolve 9 and keep one Marshy
They’ll realize the power of Mega Swampert, and then they’ll want to use it XD
Yessssss
I swear, I will take Djja down with it xD
Ice Punch :3
Yeah. Ice Shard has priority correct?
Ne’er mind.
no, my mega sceptile and I shall destory your mega swampert
day 1 you vs me mega starter only
How is that fair? xD
we shall see who is better mega scpetile or mega swampert :3
you have ice punch
and avalanche
Can I just Focus Sash instead? XD
But Speed ;~;
exactly, you have no way to strategically take down my mighty mega sceptile
Our power together shall decimatze anything that gets in our way! For a brighter future!
Actually I do
But it requires a non one on one battle :3
in your situation no for one on one 😉
and i have a startegy to wipe your mega swampert in a non one on one battle
Too bad it would fail 😉
I mean, it’s cool and all with 1st evolution but with Swampert’s Speed and 4x Grass weakness? xD
Tag Team Mega Swampert Battle?
Possibly.
Why do you change your profile picture every 2 days?
Oh my god haven’t seen that picture your using for your avatar in forever. XD
I hate that face so much xD
i realized mewtwos voice actor in mewtwo returns is dan green aka yami yugi and grovyle’s voice actor
no wonder i love mewtwo XD
Green=BVS
?? what does BVS mean?
Dan Green’s been in other animated stuff as well….. (you don’t wana know)
oh i know……
yes did yami yugi 😉
That moment when you have 719 Pokemon in your Pokedex.
I only have 718… ;_;
yep! Ive had it for monthes XD
~20 ftw!
Err…Yeh…just over 100 is good progress
20 is pretty good as well 🙂 :/
Completing the Pokedex! XD I don’t do that!
You know next month’s Mega Scoop might not even reveal new megas but info on how they will be integrated in the story. If that happens then maybe 1-2 new megas.
It seems next month’s Coro Coro will have a massive scoop regarding both Contests and Megas
It is soo annoying that Disqus comments won’t load, upvotes won’t show, unless I refresh. I’ve deleted my cookies and cache twice now 🙁
I have to delete my Cache every couple of minutes… but I’m sure they are trying their hardest to fix it, and soon we won’t have to deal with it!
Oh so it’s everyone! Phew xD
Yeah, were you here yesterday? One of the featured comments talked about this.
I thought it got fixed already and it was just me cause everyone was commenting just fine ;_;
No, it was working fine for me earlier, nao I have to Refresh or press Newest every couple seconds ;~;
I know ;~; Es veri anoying
If you didn’t see the Diancie CoroCoro refresh for ze image. Mega Diancie has Magic Bounce as its ability! Also, the next CoroCoro is coming August 12th with what they call a Mega Evolution scoop!
Yup.
Mega Vanilluxe confirmed. Get it. Because its a Scoop.
Hahaha…. I’m funny
HAHAHAHAHAH
Das actually 3 scoops.
\V//anillite is 1.
Haha
You spoiled part of the movie for whoever hasn’t seen this pic! 😀
Who else is prepared to trade in their old DSi/3DS for a Blue/Red ORAS 3DS XL?
No
Boooo
Grounded
To your room
I would be super upset if they did that… I would want it but I know I could never have it because I already got the XY 3DS XL…
xD That stinks so much.
I
Love
Hoenn.
And if this happens
NOTHING
Will stahp me from getting this 3DS XL. And I’ll prolly treasure the box forever and keep OR in all the time xD Or AS, I’ll switch between them.
Yeah I got the X version and I love it. Pokemon X is always on it because I have two of them and one was downloaded from the eshop. I also have Y, but I don’t play it as much as I should. XD
I thought the XY 3DS was ugly so I traded my sister XD
D:
Nooo ;~; when you start special mission 5 in PMD EOS, they show the grovyle’s scarfice scene ;~: GROVYLE WHY? DX
Cause he’s stupid?
how dare you….
So wait, Get TV is tonight right? Or tomorrow? Anyway, my question is, what are the chances that they will show off what was in CoroCoro the past couple of days and wrap it up in a trailer? Slim?
WOAH I FORGOT SANTA CLAUS
And I bet they’ll show M Meta at least. In Japanese trailer.
So it’s today? And yeah, I think at the very least, they will show Mega Metagross in a battle or something to that extent.
i still need the amercian trailer for all of this
Give me some tips on my yet to arrive game:
Which starters should I pick?
Salamence or Goodra?
Suggest other Pokemon as well that is should be in my party.
XY?
Chespin
Goodra
Florges
Talonflame/Charizard
Gardevoir
Honedge
Froakie
amaura
talonflame or salamence
mienfoo
venusaur
your choice
You know i know everyone is hoping for a lot of new hoenn megas, but i acctuly dont think we will get that many from hoenn. Hoenn already has pleanty of mega’s. I think we will get some sinnoh and unova megas. Thats what we really need.
I agree. I want more Sinnoh megas.
Nonon *Hoenn
We also need Hoenn megas, cause lots of Hoenn pokemon need them. But the other two, we won’t get in this game. Z, yes.
Well ya never know. I really want my M torterra. ;~;
THAT is not happening for a while.
🙂
Mega Torterra would be awesome!
But es naut coming rn.
Hello there.
You just crashed my dreams….;~;
*crushed
And face the truth.
since phoebbe’s ace is dusknoir and she can mega evolve(probably) well get MEGA DUSKNOIR 😀 😀 D:
Meh.
JUST LEAVE RIGHT NOW!
Yea a Sinnoh one because of Phoebe’s Dusknoir.
I can’t believe we have another Magic Bounce Mega Pokemon! However, with Mega Diancie, it’ll be a beast of an ability.
Woah, is that you?
Yes. lol
I can see it replacing Espeon with that ablitity.
Yeah. It’s a good ability. I just hope Diancie’s movepool is versatile enough to take advantage.
That selfie tho.
Shhhh…
So according to gamefreak logic, Jewels/Gems have this natural ability to bounce magic. (Mega Sableye, Mega Diance, Espeon)
It’s an Illuminati conspiracy.
3 jewels. 3 sides on a triangle. Illuminoiseati confirmed.
lol, jewels dont shatter when they are dropped any more
I’m now at 1509 with 10-9 in the Eevee Friendly.
On a side note! Yesterday’s LOK was E.P.I.C!!!
YES THAT ENDING THO
To the second episode yesterday
Looking online, these two are my favorite fan art of Mega Altaria so far:

There
There
There’s no butter
I like the one with the black storm cloud wings.
The bottom one… so KAWAII AND THAT PAINTING IS JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL!!
The second on is the best!
– Good at making strategies
– Bad at executing them
Overall, I am terrible at competitive battling. I’ll just stick to fashion… XD
Competitive battling is one of those things that you improve on with experience.
like mk8 bikes XD you have to get used to it see how it works and what doesnt and then keep trying anf observe
