Mega Metagross Debuts in New Trailer

The new trailer reveals game footage for several gyms in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as well as Mega Metagross and some Pokémon Contest information!

Steven and Mega Metagross

steven_megametagross_smallAs we previously reported, Steven has been confirmed for the Champion of the Hoenn region in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He still uses Steel-type Pokémon, including a Metagross that is able to Mega Evolve thanks to his Mega Stickpin.

Mega Metagross is perfect for both offensive and defensive styled battles. Gaining boosts in Attack, Defense, Special Attack and Special Defense. The Pokémon also receives a significant boost to Speed when it Mega Evolves. All of this is topped off with the Mega Pokémon’s Tough Claws ability.

Mega Diancie

Further details on Mega Diancie have also been revealed. The Pokémon will receive boosts to its Speed, Attack and Special Attack when Mega Evolving, but will also have decreased Defense and Special Defense stats.

 

Other Details

The Official Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site has updated with a ton of new screenshots and information, mostly consolidating what we learnt from the latest issue of CoroCoro; some details on Gym Leaders, Professor Birch and more has also been added though!

  1. Since we got custom background music for wifi battle, in ORAS, I want to be able to change the background stage for wifi battle, like in BW2. 😀

  2. As much as I love Blaziken, it’s movepool is just made for a suicide mission. Why couldn’t they give him Close Combat? He’s a goddarn cockfighting chicken. #JustPokemonThings

  3. One thing I just REALLY want confirm is whether the day and night cycles will continue into this. I c no reason y it wouldn’t even if this is a remake, but I could c that being a huge bummer if it isn’t in these games…….

  4. This trailer looks awesome.

    I take it they will show a different video with the last 4 gym leaders and the last two Elite 4 members?

    Maybe spotlight a different Mega pokemon too?

    One of the minor things I noticed but something that has me excited is that Shiftry used Leaf Blade a move he doesn’t naturally learn!

    So either he will learn it through level up or by breeding, which would be a big plus since imo it is the best physical Grass move in the game (90 BP with no drawbacks and a boosted critical hit chance), or it is going to be a move tutor move, or possibly a TM!

    I expect it to just be a move he learns by giving him a heart scale to remember but still I’m happy.

    Shiftry will probably now be my 1st or 2nd Grass pokemon I use in a team on Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

  5. What the heck is the point of giving mega evolutions to already mad powerful pokemon? Metagross, Tyranitar, Garchomp and other pokemon like them are already pretty bloody tough without giving them super forms.

  6. Haven’t been on here for almost a year due to school and getting ready to be a parent – how goes it everybody? Rocket Boosters on M-Metagross gives a whole new meaning to bullet punch!
