In addition to showing off the newly revealed Mega Evolutions of Altaria, Salamence and Lopunny, we also get our first look at Horde Battles against Team Magma! The official site has also been updated with screenshots and more information.
The Pikachu which can wear outfits is called ‘Cosplay Pikachu’ and has a distinctive tail different than normal Pikachus. It has a dark heart-shaped mark and is the only Pikachu able to use costumes.
Contests will have an Introduction Round which judges your Pokémon’s conditions, which can be improved through the use of Pokéblocks, and then a Talent Round in which you have 5 turns to use moves. There are also combos which can give your score a boost, such as Focus Energy followed by Stone Edge. Through your performances you can also amass a fan following which you’ll see at the Hall entrances.
In a new feature, you can also take pictures with your Pokémon during the contest, as seen above.

Don’t all females have that kind of tail, though?
Cosplay Pikachu has a black end on her tail.
OMG I called it on the Pikachu even the fact that it wanted to participate in contests. So happy with myself
GUYS OLD R/S CONTEST IS BACK
im so happy 😀 pokeblock is back as well which is awesome! I cant wait to pull some combos in the beauty contest with Blaziken, Sunny Day + Overheat ftw 8)
UGH…so they did change the default names to Orlando and Anna… Gross…
#FloridaFrozenFTW
Who? 🙂
Orlando = Legolas, BTW
I don’t think so but who knows
The thing that I screamed on is the signature contest moves like holy shit
0-0 I’m dying
Can’t wait to see sceptile special move (damn that sounds like beyblade now) SCETILE SPEIAL NOVE
also you fight these six grunts quite early in what seems to be a hideout :O plot change
Also I just realized they change smart to clever
Also that poke boutique for pikachu may be the place to change furfrou forms as well :0 maybe they are involved in contests too!
I’m pumped for Shiny Beldum!
Same now I can use it ingame without transferring from bank
Tbh I don’t think we are going to be getting Mega Milotic.
They added Feebas and Milotic to the “pokemon” section of the site, whereas all of the pokemon who got mega evolutions have their pre evolutions on the same page as them.
Or I could be completely wrong.
It’s obviously a set up so they can reveal it next month.
Or not
Let’s see on the 14th
I think this is it bud
It’s not ogre yet
It’s always ogre in my swamp
We Won’t get it in this issue. The video pretty much confirms that. Maybe next month
That’s what you think 😉 they wil probably make a reveal trailer for whatever gets shown on the 14th hence why the trailer come out so early
I’m pretty sure it’s just going to be showcasing these new Megas and/or contests.
Or Mewtwo in Smash.
I meant it’s not going to be in the magazine this month. Other options are still available I guess, akin to the Mega Kangaskhan reveal last year.
Yep
May looks so cute In her contest outfit.
http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/_ui/img/_en/august/screenshots/aug_p03_03_en_gag.jpg

Mega Altaria looks like an aristocrat. I feel I should say Madame Altaria
Umm Hoenn Horde trainer battle so will they be blocking way like snorlax on route 16
Hoenn has Horde battles and Horde Trainer battles. Therefore Hoenn is best Korea.
Omfg

See, this made Mega Altaria and Mega Salamence look so mich cooler imo, and I’m likeing them more now.
MEGA SALAMENCE SHOWED ITS ARMS AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN
Yesssssssssss!
ummm can i throw mega salamence or is that a no?
not unless you wanna get rekt
still throwing it
Idk why but watching a luchador pikachu use flying press was so fulfilling
YES! Trailer!! <3
Contests are more like the anime now…. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE! MY BELOVED ROSERADE SHALL GARNER ALL THE RIBBONS AND WE SHALL CONQUER THE WORLD AND UNITE ALL NATIONS!!!!
spikes and then whirlwind on skarmory, would that be a good combo? :DD
Those signature moves tho
An OU won’t win the grand festival cause me and my beloved pokemkn shall wreck you for the top coordinator spot
They’re not signature moves, they’re special appeals like the spotlight in BW xD
No pokemaster don’t you dare ruin my day
There are special moves/appeal I can call them what I want 😛
But you’re not going to be able to use them anywhere but there and they won’t have actualy move slots, just an ‘Special Appeal’ button.
Wow spaz
Jk
Slightly
Although conqure the would yeah weird
