Official Site Updates; Demo Reveals New Mega Evolutions

The official site for Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire has been updated with the details we saw in November’s CoroCoro issue and more!

Mega Steelix & Mega Glalie

Revealed in the demo are two new mega evolutions

Mega Latios & Mega Latias

 

A trailer of ‘Soar’ in action, ie: ability to fly over Hoenn, can be seen here on the main site.

Mega Pidgeot

 

Pidgeot Mega Evolves into Mega Pidgeot. The gusts it can whip up with its tough and well-developed wings are powerful enough to smash huge trees.

Upon Mega Evolving, its Sp. Atk gets a great boost. Take good advantage of its zippy Speed stat, and you can pummel opponents in no time flat. Its No Guard Ability means its attack will never miss—nor will attacks used against it. You can be sure of dealing damage even with moves that have low accuracy. – Official Site

Mega Beedrill

 

Beedrill Mega Evolves into Mega Beedrill. The poison it produces from its four limbs all work instantaneously, yet the poison it emits from its tail is slow-acting. It uses the former to prevent its foes from fleeing, and the latter to deal the finishing blow.

Mega Evolution gives its Attack and Speed stats an explosive boost. Adaptability is an Ability that increases the power of moves of the same type as the user from the standard 150% to 200%. Put it together with this Pokémon’s powerful Attack stat and aim for massive damage! – Official Site

  1. So according to that interview its not just all the legends you will be able to catch with XY and ORAS but EVERY pokemon… the entire National Dex. I guess thats why XY had so many pokemon in it and i suppose this means the Hoenn Dex is gonna be much much bigger than before.

  2. Looks like trainer customization isn’t coming back in ORAS. Great job Gamefreak, keep removing features from your older games, never learn from your mistakes.

  3. OMG! Since the dex is expanding, I hope they bring back that feature of G/S/C where some Pokemon could only be found at night!

  6. It irks me when people say GF is too “lazy”
    You know you can remove patches? So what happens when you have the ORAS mega stones and use it after you remove the patch? The game will probably break

  9. One thing I find interesting is that they call back to the original Eon ticket event by having Norman say it’s been 11 years since he’s seen the ticket
