Wait… what do they mean by early Oras buyers will receive a shiny beldum with a metagrossite
Similar to Blaziken+Blazikenite promo for X&Y. It should last about that long.
AWWWWH, MEGA SALAMENCE WITH AERILATE. YOUR LIFE IS OVER. DAAAAAMN. Mega Lopunny? I can’t say I expected that. O.O
Mega Altaria, changing one of its types everytime it evolves. And Pixilate? MIXED ATTACKING MEGA ALTARIA AWW YISSSS
And can I just say, Mega Lopunny looks like May. O.O
In before May appears in the anime with Mega Lopunny. 🙂
Oh truuuu
Theorymon time!
Altaria @ Altaritite (or whatever they call it)
Ability: Cloud Nine
(It clears a weather condition and stops Char Y from setting up before it mega evolves…)
BUILD 1 – Special Attacker
Bold Nature
EVs: 148 HP, 252 Def, 104 SpA
Hyper Voice
Flamethwrower/Fire Blast
Solarbeam/Hidden Power Ground/HP Psychic/Ominous Wind
Solarbeam/HP Psychic/HP Ground/Cotton Guard
Don’t bother with Dragon Pulse. Fairy and Dragon have similar targets (Dragon) and resists (Steel) anyway, unless it’s Dragalge. EVs allow it to tank +1 Mega Salamence Thrash (before Cotton Guard) and OHKO back with Hyper Voice.
HP Ground will deal with Heatran who will otherwise wall your set, and do a number on non-levitating Poison types as well. Alternatives are HP Psychic and Ominous Wind to deal with non-Mega Gengar and Weezing. Solarbeam is for when you have Sun support on the side and want to deal with threats to Sun team members like Swampert.
Coming up, the Physical set, stay tuned!
It has pixelatate .-.
I know, but Cloud Nine is the optimal ability for BEFORE Altaria flips the switch and Mega Evolves. <3
Oh, I get it now..
These sets are actual pretty good 😀
BUILD 2 – Bulky Mixed? Attacker
Adamant/Brave Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Att, 4 Def
Return/Double-Edge
Earthquake
Fire Blast
Cotton Guard/Safeguard/Refresh/Haze/Roar/Tailwind
Again we aren’t bothering with Dragon Claw or Outrage. With rare cases like levitating Steel and Poison types, Fairy and Ground provide almost perfect coverage. For those cases, with Fire Blast you can put a dent on Gengar as well as levitating Steel types.
The last move is your choice of support move. Cotton Guard for staying power, Safeguard or Refresh to stop/heal statuses, Haze/Roar to cripple setup sweepers, Tailwind so you can gain a bit of speed.
Want to do a guest article theorizing about new Mega battle strategies?
DUDE THEY GO AND REVEAL 3 MEGAS BUT NOT MILOTIC!!!
Why????
I’m pretty happy about altaria and a
Salamence…
But lopunny came out of no where…
Did any one even remember lopunny??
I’m just so maaadddd m.lopunny but no m.milotic ;_;
Lopunny has a lotta fans y’know.
Also, they haven’t revealed the Mega on the lower left side of the circle. Stay tuned! It might be Mega Milo.
I don’t care if it has fans or not I care for M.milotic. .
And I’m not getting my hopes up for another mega to be revealed 🙁
I’m dying to know what’s on the lower left corner of the new Megas page. Put me out of my misery and leak Mega Milotic. Dx
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MEGA ALTARIAAAAAAA :DDDDD I CANT BREATHE!!!!! HEEEEEELLPPPPPP!! OMGGGGGGGGGG
Kinda late XD
I just woke up XD
XD
That’s everything we have :O Or there are more megas?
Well there’s the bottlm left quarter circle to be revealed
And the Middle
I think the middle has the pre-evos of the megas, though.
:OOOOOOO Mega Milotic plz
Yer late, you should’ve seen everyone we all went crazy. 🙂
that feeling after a good corocoro
One thing I didn’t notice before when I was super tired and looking for mega Milotic is that you can battle with the Pikachu costumes on! Those costumes were so great and I was very curious as to whether or not they could be used outside of them.
Yesssss 😀
It’s like Rotom formes all over again! But with Pikachu!
These look AWESOME! Im so happy that Altaria has got one! A tad disappointed that Mega Milotic has not been shown… yet!
However looking at XY there were 26 pokemon that could Mega Evolve (not including the lati twins) and only 11/26 were announced before release and one of them (kangaskhan) was only shown at an event and not shown in corocoro until after release.
So no doubt there will be more… not as much as XY i think but certainly a few more… i expect to see Milotic, Flygon, Shiftry and Ludicolo and maybe a few curveballs going by Mega Lopunny.
Anyone got any hopes for some not so hyped pokemon that could use some love? Which ones and what do you want to see them get?
Mega EFFING Azumarill
Mega Azelf 😀
Mega Darkrai :p
Mega Azumarill i could see but it just got a boost so not sure if they will give it another one so soon but i would love to see it!
Mega Azelf would be left for a sinnoh remakealongside the other pixies.
Mega Darkrai is possible but should NEVER be made… everything would die!
“Everything would die” is kind of the point.
HEH HEH HEH.
Can someone help me explain something? My friend is convinced that this isn’t the September CoroCoro leaking, this is the August CoroCoro leaking as it he August CoroCoro is supposed to have the full roster for Smash Bros. in it and it hasn’t been shown yet.
Could someone explain this, so I can explain this to my friend? Is it September or August?
It is September’s CoroCoro. They are released of the next month ahead.
It is September
CoroCoros are realized with The next month ahead title
Mega Lopunny. Didn’t see that one coming. Normal Fighting is an epic Typing and it even gets Scrappy
Also I want my Shiny Beldum
Mega Salamence with Aerialate finally gets reliable flying STAB
I don’t see Mega Lopunny having much of a use right now, it feels underpowered in OU even if +50 went to attack (think: Absol), but I think it can rule in UU and compete with Absol and Aggron and Banette there. (Before you say Manectric, it went to OU recently.)
Probably UU
Mega Lopunny
Scrappy
HP: 65
Atk: 116 (+40)
Def: 106 (+20)
SpA: 44 (-10)
SpD: 116 (+20)
Spe: 135 (+30)
The stats I made
That’s pretty good. It’ll probably scare all the ghosts from UU.
With your Sub Punch Set Everything Is getting Hit really hard
What exactly is Mega Salamence supposed to be. It look like a Boomerang
Plane?
That’s just ripping off Lati@s
In b4 Lati@s megas are unreleased forever. -_-
It’s
So…
FLUFFYYYYY
Plot twist: Klutz makes Lopunnite unusable xD
What XD Thats evil XDDD
Epic Troll
Fortunately, it doesn’t. 🙂
“Klutz does not prevent the user from Mega Evolving via Mega Stone.”

Hopefully Mega Altaria has a Unique type for this whole Game
Starmie used Reflect Type! Congrats, Starmie is now Dragon/Fairy.
I kinda want to use Mega Lopunny competitively.
It’s a Normal/Fighting Type with Scrappy.
That’s the first pokemon we’ve had that gets the chance of attacking Ghost Types with both types.
(Keep in mind some other Scrappy users such as Miltank and Kangaskhan are now used for other things or not seen often.)
It would be very interesting to see what this thing can do, especially with friendship evolution.
Return against Mega Gengar maybe??
I just posted a Sub + Focus Punch set.
Another possible set is a sweeper with Drain Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Agility
I feel like Return is going to be used often due to the Friendship Evolution.
Keep in mind that most players want to take advantage of the Scrappy ability!
The Fighting attacks are also affected by Scrappy too. I can’t sneak in Return for those sets due to space. Maybe Thunder/Ice Punch can be outed for return.
Yup!
I like that Sub-Punch set. I hope it gets a massive increase to its attack stat
It basically beats Aegislash and Sableye. Kind of
Jump Kick ftw!
Or some other moves!
Pretty much all Iconic Hoenn Pokemon now have Megas
Starters
Gardevoir
Aggron
Altaria
Salamence
Metagross
Lati Twins
Groudon/Kyogre (possibly Rayqauaza)
I guess we just need Flygon and Milotic now
Milotic Is Iconic and so it needs a mega XD
Sad but true, I guess no one cared about Manectric until its Mega… 🙂
Very True. Manectric was never talked about before its mega. Same with Medicham
So I’m gettin ready for 1-2 more megas to be revealed why call it a “scoop” if you only get 3
There’s more coming don’t fret young lad.
If you are wrong. You will bite your tongue.
Lower left corner where bagon and Lopunny are hasn’t been shown yet.
Uuugggggghhhh DAT mega salamance is SUCH a disappointment. Mega Lopunny is decent looking. Mega Altaria doesn’t look like what I was expecting but its so fluffy! More megas pls q.q
Aw whats wrong with Mega Salamence
As someone else said. It looks like a friggin boomerang. Where has its body gone? How does that give it boosted defense ._.
Idk…. It looks like it speed is Lowered
If it has lowered defense. This is one very controversial design.
Techincaly Salamence doesnt have wings any more. It looks more like a Glider
Yes but its very awkward looking.
I know. I am not a fan of it’s ‘wings’.
Everything else is fine. I like how it has it’s arms tucked into the harness, giving an indications it may possible be extremely fast.
I mean. I love the head and face but the body just seems really awkward for me to enjoy it. I guess I’ll have to get used to yet. But yes. That’s the vine I’m getting as well.
Mario Kart 8 Mega Salamence Glider confirmed??
SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE THIS A MEME.
– Hops on PC. – On it.
So I want to start breeding Bunearys today (if anyone had any spare 5 IV ones or even 4 IV ones I would love you forever)
What should the set be, or should I try both?
Lopunny
Jolly
Life Orb
252 Attack
126(132) Speed
126 Defense/Special Defense??
Lopunny
Jolly
Life Orb
252 Attack
252 Speed
6 Defense/Special Defense
If u want, I could give u a bunneary with egg moves :3
What are these egg moves??
I need infornationnnn
Sky Uppercut/Thunder Puch/Ice Punch/Fire Punch
Sure!
Idrc about the IVs I can breed them on later.
In like 2 hours we can trade.
Sound good?
Yes :3. I will go to MM a buneary XD
252/128/128 can be done. EV’s only work in 4’s…
I’d go with max speed.
So the second one?
But it’s so frail :/
Right now it is, it’s hardly competitive. I’d just set it aside until the Mega is available, or in NU tier. 🙂
Obviously not now lol.
It can’t really do much atm.
I’d go with 252HP/252Attack for Focus Punch set and 252Attack/252Speed for revenger/lategame sweeper.
Mega Salamance has Aerialate… That’s it, i’m done.
Is that Bad?
For the target. 🙂
Sure, Mega Pinsir already has Aerilate Thrash, but Salamence has Dragon Dance to take that over the top.
I think Mega Salamence has speed lowered
It says “It’s good in defense, and can strike back after taking a hit.”
It says AFTER taking a hit, so why would they put that in?
It sounds like its speed is going down
It looks like its built for speed though.
I know Thats what I saying It it is hard to tell D:
Why would they say can strike back after taking a hit, if its speed is raise and going to hit first anyway?
Mega Salamence
Aerilate
HP: 95
Atk: 165 (+30)
Def: 120 (+40)
SpA: 130 (+20)
SpD: 120 (+40)
Spe: 80 (-20)
If speed is lowered
:OOOOO
DOES THIS SEEM FAMILIAR?
YES!
It was Mega Garchomp SPEED LOWERED
And we know how mow much of a bomb mega Garchomp was …
