Well these leaks came out at an odd time in the night. While I’m not saying that I hate the info, bc I definitely don’t, but I can’t particularly care for it either. I’m sure if I was a bigger Lopunny fan I’d care more. Also I would prolly have more happiness over Altaria and Salamance if I was gonna use them. I really like their designs tho and I think the changes they get r cool.
but arialate is just weird for mega salamence. it gets like 4 normal moves
Agreed, but maybe like Shiftry it’ll get a few new moves to complement that.
Honestly Return/DoubleEdge/Thrash.
All it needs really.
Wouldn’t Quiet be the best nature for Mega Altaria? I know that It learns more Physical moves than special moves currently, but it’s ability is Pixelate and it learns more special (normal typed) attacks than Physical.
It still needs it’s defenses due to its weaknesses and it’s more of a mixed attacker in general.
Well for a mixed set yes but for a special set modest is ideal
With it’s attack and special attack both being boosted upon mega evolving, I can see it being more of a mixed attacker and it could risk it’s speed due to it’s bulk.
Honestly I wouldn’t run mix its a bad idea because speed is crucial
If you want altaria choose on or the other, or maybe lower the physical defense
One or the other*
But why would they boost it’s Physical as well? q.q
Yes but why lower speed when it maybe needed mixed just isn’t god for this pokemon maybe you can run an all neutral nature
Good point.
I still wish there was more 🙁
I woke up around 3am to go the bathroom and I believe that was around when this was leaked. I took a quick peak b4 going back to sleep and I was so tired that I couldn’t make heads or tails of Lopunny. lol I knew what I was looking at, but I couldn’t entirely tell what was a leg or an arm hahahaha
Mega Lopunny….Are you serious….? Whatever, Mega Altaria is awesome. So glad I have a shiny one :3 Mega Salamance is really weird. Currently don’t like it. This can’t be all of the new megas though? It’s only three and they said it’d be the mega evolution scoop of the century or something, didn’t they? Or am I imagining that?
They said it would be a big mega scoop
3-4 isn’t that big :/ Hopefully there are more than that! I wanna see my Mega Milotic! Camerupt and Sharpedo would be nice too though
Either way they hyped it a bit too much I suppose. Or we hyped it too much?
What wrong with Mega Lopunny? You can’t have all Megas be incredibly overpowered.
and honestly the fighting type will just give it un-needed weaknesses
three of them and barely any resistances
and Scrappy only works so far
Sorry I just really hate Lopunny and this didn’t really change that >.< Plus I'm not expecting all of them to be super powered, I'm in it for the designs more than stats.
Even though i’m not too thrilled about it but how dare you insult Lopunny
It’s just ugly and looks like a prostitute. Plus I really hate Klutz and hindering abilities like that.
but Klutz means you can use Switcheroo with a Flame Orb
But then no mega
that’s why i’m not thrilled
True, but it’s just one of those pokemon I never initially liked so nothing could really change my mind :/ Like Hypno and Drowzee. Too ugly for me to ever appreciate.
I actually really like Lopunnys design and it’s mega it’s a definite improvement
So, Salamance has remained Dragon? Cause it looks dragon steel and this article only mentions it’s increased defense when it looks like it has also increased in speed do to it’s more agile body.
Altaria was my favourite pkmn of Third Generation, and now it has a Mega Evolution. Furthermore, it is fairy type!!! I’m so excited that I won’t need LSD never more!!!
What other pkmn do you think will get megas this generation? I guess Milotic, Ludicolo, Shiftry, Exploud, Torkoal, Plusle, Minum, and some others of gen 5 and 6.
Grandma Chico
Plusle and Minun were trademarked If i remember correctly.
But I’m sure we’ll get more megas in this corocoro!
Oh das right, but es weird xD
Really? Were they?
Well, they are some kind of useless pokemon. Actually, like EVERY electric rodent-like pkmn.
At least, with megas we will see them more. Because their stats and moves are really bad…
Useless? Pimpnite actually managed to sweep with them o_o
No Shifty, no Ludicolo, no Torkoal, no electic mice, no gen 5 or 6, but instead Flygon (for it’s the last dragon of gen 3) and others like Loppuny.
If I’m not wrong, in some scans of the last Corocoro, the Elite 4 of the generation apperared wearing mega-stones. So I guess we will also have Mega-Dusknoir, Mega-Walrein, and Mega-Shiftry. After all, the other two elite 4 members (Steven and Drake) already have Mega-Salamence and Mega-Metagross confirmed.
I think it was confirmed that they in fact, Do NOT have mega stones, when the official art work was shown.
Really? Sh*t. I would really like to have Megas in all the Elite 4. And I think their signature pokemon could really have megas…
Well, at least we have Altaria confirmed.
True. It would have been great though because the E4 would have seemed more challenging.
Lol but think about TrollFreak for a minute.
Exactly. I’ve played all games and generation I was for me the hardest of them. Then, all Elite 4 have been somehow disappointing.
Not neccesairily, cause Sidney’s main is actually Absol.
Everyone saying Salamence only gets 4 moves to abuse Aerialate. Honestly what more do you need.
Return
Double Edge
Thrash
Hyper Voice (if you want to go special)
What more do you want. ESpeed?
if it got Extremespeed i’m f*cking done
Why isn’t Salami Dragon/Steel? Salami looks like it’s Dragon/Steel. Salami is the best name for a Salamance.
Like i say just because it looks like a Steel Type don’t mean it is
Gamefreak logic.
and honestly you’re only getting steel type from its mega evolved stomach plates and its apparent Def increase
its flatter streamline body might have increased its density allowing to withstand high pressure
Especially now
Making it Dragon/Steel could have given it an edge on Fairy types.
Pretty sure no Fairy will appreciate an Aerialate Double Edge. And with boosted defences it may actually survive most Moonblasts.
Mega Lopunny. :/ Could’ve been better spent, I would’ve prefered they show Mega Flygon as well. Plua it looks weird 🙁
Mega Altaria! Yay! Except it looks like Napoleon Bonaparde. Or a French soldier from 1700s.
Mega Salamence. Why. It’s body = 11/10 but it’s wings make it look like the Old Republic sign >.<
Am I the only one who think Lopunny was a nice surprise. I will actually use it while everyone else will be using the OP stuff.
I just would’ve prefered something cooler or more Hoenner. Like a Torkoal surprise or Leavanny surprise.
Lopunny is right up there as a surprise for me.
Considering everyone was waiting for Hoenn Megas….and then BAM have a Sinnoh one.
I know, I just would’ve prefered a more liked Sinnoh pokemon, or I guess GF could’ve been aiming to make Mega Team Charm.
Most of the liked Sinnoh Pokemon are already competitively viable. It makes sense to give a Mega to something like Lopunny to give it a new lease of life.
I am using it to I have a set planned out
I am going to use it as well.
It has some decent moves for those pesky ghost types.
It was really unexpected. I like it though, maybe people will actually use it now.
Anyone think we’ll get the shiny Beldum event in the western countries?
Yeah, it’ll be like the Mega Torchic event.
Greaaaaat now everyone will have the bloody thing
Deal with it. You just keep complaining about everything that Gamefreak is putting out.
because nothing revealed is making me happy
because you only think about how it affects your team.
well everything cant revolve around what u want
sigh fine, hopefully they’ll reveal Mega Camerupt soon
i have not been happy for the past corocoros since august of last year XD i
Do you even competitively battle?
Nope.
I know. I can’t wait.
I guess yes :3
Oh it’s you xD
someone tell corocoro is over because its hasnt udpated since last night for me 🙁 why she say Mega Drapion then lie to me someone is going to get Cut
I’m pretty sure it isn’t, because this issue is supposed to be a “Mega Evolution Scoop” or something like that. Considering we got the same/more Mega’s in the July issue (M. Diancie, Sceptile, Swampert, & partly Sableye, it was revealed around the same time). Plus on the pages w/the mega’s, it seems that there’s 2 per page so i think there will be at least one more (on the page w/M. Altaria)
aka mega drapion
she was being sarcastic when she talked about mega drapion.
Altaris looks to be on a page of its own cause you don’t see the little wheel for it on the page like salamance and lopunny so my theory is 2 more or the possible one more but who knows
Well, this is a surprise! Never expected Lopunny to go Mega. Love the other two as well, designs, typing and ability. But where my Mega Milotic? 🙂
I wonder what’s hiding in the bottom left corner… *crosses fingers for 5th gen Mega or Mega Drapion*
MEGA… Carnivine <3
Mega Stunfisk. Be afraid
Whoa.
I wouldn’t even be mad at that. Btw OMG PJ REPLIED TO ME
I can actually see that
maybe like that one Wind Waker Boss but all fly trappy
the pokemon mega nobody ever saw coming…….
According to the leaker there is still more to the corocoro leaks
beofre closing his account, the elakers said im still not on mega drapion 0-0
ur like 6 hours later XD
im sorry for sleeping >.>
its ok XD
I forgive you
😀 thank you PJ!
also since you do live in japan
does the corocoro specify the details on this shiny beldum event or is it very vague?
It just says that it will be an event when the games release, probably like the Torchic one
PJ 😀 u show up so randomly
Go back to sleep fool.
It’s too early.
Better have Sniper or Tough Claws.
Or Magic Bounce
The most overused mega ability*
The leaker is a butt head. He should have emailed the leaks to multiple people to put out.
because serebii is a butthead
Serebii wasn’t the leaker.
but they own the leaks now
You mean posted them to their site? Cause they don’t “Own” the leaks.
ok the reason why i want mega Drapion so bad is like because Skorupi when i started officiallly playing pokemon in gen 4 that was my faveoirte pokemon and it still is my favorite pokemon nothing takes the place of skourpi and its Evo in my eyes Skiddo is just a mascot and 2nd Fave… and plus being Govnah Skorupi wouldnt be cool because i would get wear a eyepatch so please let the mega be real 😀 if it is ill cry on this floor
Honestly Mega Drapion would have to look cool with decent stats in order to make me excited for it.
So do you guys think the Pikachu thing could be like Furfrou, or would the moves be available only in Contests?
where is everyone getting Mega Drapion from?
the guys twitter said
“Im not on mega drapion yet”
Best nature for Mega Salamance and why?
None because Ice Shard
XD
Still got that upper-hand
plus the Expert Belt and the Adamant Nature
Again
Ice Shard
Mamoswine for the win!
Someone is rood. Keep in mind it has boosted defenses so it might be able to eat that Ice Shard.
Not from my Mamoswine
Not from an Adamant Life Orb Mamoswine.
You don’t know that yet.
Yet I do.
What about a standard Ice Beam?
What if someone predicts it?
Then i’ll counter predict
by letting them do the thing they think i’m going to do but i’ll be doing the opposite by doing a unexpected third thing
You’d counter predict but you cannot guarantee it would work.
But then again it might just work
Because i’m a Baka Survivor
Baka wat?
Assuming a +30 to defence
252 Atk Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 244-292 (73.7 – 88.2%) — guaranteed 2HKO
You will need a life orb to even stand a chance.
Or be Adamant Expert Belt like Earthern said
And don’t forget it’s a Earthen Breed Mamoswine
All my Ground Types are naturally stronger because of our guts and fighting spirit
jolly cause its attack already HUGE so giving it speed is amazing
I assume Jolly. But it’s hard to say cos we don’t know it’s Stats. Depends on its speed.
Brendan’s hat confirmed to be Bredan’s hat-Yvetal Minion 2014
Natu are you here?
