Shiny Magearna and Sun & Moon Icons

A Japanese magazine has revealed an alternately colored Magearna with a caption that reports it being the appearance it had 500 years ago. This does not conclusively mean it is the shiny coloration as well, but it seems likely. Magearna will be an event Pokémon for the upcoming games Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Also, we have images of the icons which will appear for the games on the 3DS menu. Cool!

      • Well technically it’s possible maybe some supernatural sand fairy or Armadillo
        But granted it would not hold up well
        No decent resistances
        And a Water, Grass, Ice, Steel weakness
        Basically a Sandy Wormadam

        As I said before the only Ground/Fairy that would make any sense is a Pink Fairy Armadillo

        • yeah last time I brought up Ground/Fairy I brought up the Pink Fairy Armadillo too, they could have more though but I assume that they would make up something not based on something from the real world for that, as for weaknesses, I really don’t care, you could give me something thats weak to everything and there is still a possibility I would love it 😛

  1. Guys, I think this Magearna is actually another form reachable from a time reversion item, like, say, the “Clock of the Half Millennium”. Though GF would think of a better name.
    Or maybe there’s a blueprint for you to create a second Magearna once you have the first. If it’s another form rather than a Shiny, maybe the two have different stats or movesets.

    As for why I think it’s another form, that’s because I don’t think they would put a Shiny form and say “this is how it looked like 500 years ago”, unless that’s just the movie backstory.

    • I kinda see it as an AZ floette kinda thing, different from the original but we’ll probably never see it in game :/ but if we do I would gladly welcome it

    • I wouldn’t expect that grandiose treatment
      It was fancy shmancy 500 years ago and now it’s faded wear and tear

      Simple as that

  2. Guess I’m caught in a dead time xD
    Anyways! I was thinking, before I went to bed. Considering we know that Popplio learns Disarming Voice at level 8? (or 9), I was wondering what all the other starters would learn.
    For Rowlet, I was definitely thinking it would learn Peck or Gust (maybe even Quick Attack). Litten was harder, but I narrowed it down to Quick Attack, Lick, or even Smog (kind of the same thing as Popplio sorta) (Earthen don’t kill me, es speculation ok pls)
    What do you guys think? (Seriously Earthen, I’m more leaning towards the other two anyways, I just brought it up due to Popplio getting a potential STAB move, and I like Fire/Poison for Litten)

    Reply
    • A Fire/Poison manticore for Litten’s final evolution would be amazing! I imagine it would look simply gorgeous and intimidating (sounds like an oxymoron).

      Reply
    • Fire poison would be super cool and if Popplio became water/fairy they would match up very interestingly and with grass/flying even more so, its not like its a trio but it would certainly be interesting and unique and I’d welcome it with open arms, now for moves learned perhaps scratch would also be a move litten could learn early on

      Reply
    • Smog is not unheard of in Fire Types they literally outrank Poison types learning it
      http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Smog_(move)
      But I still don’t believe in the Fire/Poison Litten
      Sulfur or Oils whatever you think is poisonous is not
      Sulfur is harmless to humans and animals and just because Litten’s fur is coated in flammable oils they don’t automatically mean they’re poisonous

      Reply
      • Yeah, but still, I really like the typing and even if the oils don’t automatically mean it’s poisonous there is still a possibility it is, it’s not confirmed yet. :3

        Reply
        • There’s a big bold fine line between “Liking a type” and actually researching the future of its design and evolution

          Reply
          • I know, I know, but there still is something there.
            Some people say Fire/Dark, because Litten has a dark coat. At least it’s better than that (although dark types usually have the color black)
            Plus, there’s no other typing that can be predicted right now, since that’s all we have, info-wise.

          • …What about them? The icons for the game don’t have anything.
            Unless you’re talking about the evos, in which case, they aren’t confirmed real yet. I’m Team Neutral for a reason. I can see both sides and until we get actual confirmation, I’m not gonna say they are real or not.

  3. On the subject of names (a few conversations down), let’s try to come up with names for the evolution of the new Pokemon:
    ~ Pikipek > Pikapecker (Play on of Woodpecker) > Peckadrill (Peck + Drill)
    ~ Litten > Litorch > Letigre or Litten > Litox > Mantitox

    I’m terrible with names so I’m not sure about the rest… 😛

  4. Anybody else getting annoyed with all the stupid Solrock and Lunatone theory videos
    It just has little background other than them just looking like the sun and moon and being extereresstial Pokemon
    Stupid people thinking they’re guaranteed a Mega or some of the really stupid ones thinking they’re related to Solgaleo and Lunala
    Just needed to vent this

    Reply
    • We all know Mega Solrock and Lunatone are a given

      Solgaleo and Lunaala are only the emissaries of the sun and moon respectively, the real legends are Ho-oH and Lugia respectively.

      Mega Solrock will be launched into space to knock the moon out of Orbit and replace it as the new natural Satellite of earth.

      Stop being blinded Earthern accept the truth.

      Reply
      • Ummm Lugia and Ho-oh probablly won’t get mega’s because Lugia isn’t a Moon related pokemon yet ho-oh more is using more symbiosis
        Mega’s of solrock and Lunatone mabey but not 100% on par with it!
        And a solrock doing that no that is terrible!

        Reply
        • Sun creates light after storms, phoenixes can bring back the dead using fire and ashes of remains = Sacred fire/Rainbow = Ho-oh.
          Moon’s gravitational pull affects the tides, and essentially the sea, thus weather patterns and storms = Aeroblast/Deep-Sea = Lugia.
          Accept that he’s somewhat correct here, this was the hidden basis of gold and silver.

          Based on primal reversion or future super powerful legendary traits, we cannot determine every single legendary’s or Mythical’s for that matter, entire story. They have already made up more as they went along, mega evolution proves this entirely, they never expected it to go this long in the beginning, but they can see the success of it now.

          Regarding Solrock and Lunatone, Very few double sets or opposing pairs seem to be getting mega evos, excluding latias/latios… Not even Seviper or Zangoose… Which are the big two everyone expected in OR/AS. Mega evolution also is more suited for dead end pokemon to give them a fighting chance or pokemon that already have 3 stages that shouldn’t logically evolve, but break a limit anyways for it. This makes it more strategic, fix the dead ends or the best get better, but which one to choose? I don’t see duo sets of mega evos happening, but Latias and Latias… So…
          it’s a roulette here, no way of telling.

          “Terrible” is entirely subjective and doesn’t really add any “flavor” to the ideas you are trying to support, add a basis to back it up and people will respect that choice more, or maybe not, it depends on what you do with it.

          Lastly, I think you need to slow down a little when typing, a lot of people won’t take your comment seriously if it’s improper text jumbles like that. If you need a little bit more time to do the post right, take it, i just don’t want people to feel like they can walk over you with their ideas here, you also deserve a fighting chance.

          • I know it more sounds as if they have connecetions to the Sun and moon but they are not based off them

    • Eh i think they might at least appear in the games knowing old pokemon are returning and they might have ties to the two but I more am looking for Mega Flygon and Mega Raticate!

  5. BREAKING: Ash will beat Sawyer and battle against Alain in the Kalos league final. I just saw a supposed synopsis of XYX036, it reads: ”His greatest rival Alain, what is he fully capable of? At this most important stage of the battle, what tactics will Ash use to see victory? The two have fought before, but Alain has won every time.”

    Reply
      • What do you think the outcome will be? Personally I have two. He either beats Alain, or the battle is halted midway because Lysandre will attack the league or Lumiose City.

        Reply
        • I think the battle will be halted mid-way to allow for the Team Flare Arc to play out.

          Afterwards Ash vs Alain finish their battle with a 1v1. Ash-Greninja vs Mega Charizard.

          Reply
          • I don’t think the final League battle will be just Ash-Greninja VS Mega Charizard… that seems a little bit too lackluster. The League Committee could possibly exempt Alain from being in the finale after the Team Flare shenanigans due to his relations with Team Flare so… their battle getting interrupted mid-way seems way too far-fetched. Additionally, I don’t think the writers would want to try something so drastic so as to practically kill off the League hype (the climax of every Pokemon anime series) of a promised 6V6 by having it just be Ash-Greninja VS Mega Charizard! I think it’ll play out similarly to Black and White where Ash defeats Alain in the League but right after, Team Flare attack and make their move. Then Alain vows to defeat Ash and now has an even greater purpose than just wanting to protect his loved ones. Ash’s defeat of Alain may trigger Alain to prove to not only himself but Lysandre that he is worthy and, “strong.” During the climax, yes, it could be Ash-Greninja VS Mega Charizard AFTER the promised 6V6.

          • But if Ash beats Alain in the final round then that would mean Ash wins the tournament……and to me the writers making Ash the winner of any Pokemon league tournament is much less likely than the final round being interrupted. I think the battle being interrupted is a good way for them to segue to the Flare arc. If what they’re doing is really so catastrophic as everyone is saying it’s going to be then what happens would certainly get the attention of everyone in Kalos. What better way to get everyones attention than to interrupt something that everyone in the region is presumably watching? lol

  6. So I got Explorers of sky
    At first I was super peeved by the “D.S” screen” but figured you could change it
    And I had to manually turn the system off to reset for the quiz but I finally got Chimchar which I technically never did but I think I’ll enjoy using, and naturally I chose Phanpy as my partner

    Parts of me are thinking how lowly Chimchar’s moves are but I bet I’ll find some good TMs

    Wish me luck or not….jerks

  9. Saw this on Reddit and thought it would be fun. What pokemon team would you realistically have? Like, if pokemon were real, based on where you lived/have lived and stuff you’ve done in your life, what team would you probably have. This is mine

    Piplup – I had a strange obsession with Penguins when I was younger so I would definitely make sure I would get one on vacation
    Houndour – One of my dogs
    Iwanko – My other dog
    Sawsbuck – Lots of deer where I live.
    Staraptor – Its a bird.
    Magikarp – My dad took us fishing a few times so I think I would’ve gotten one.

    Reply
    • Based on the pets I had and the animals by me…
      Houndoom – my doge
      Chatot
      Turtwig
      I’ll wait for some tropical-themed pokemon to leak for the rest 😛

      Reply
    • I feel like I might be misunderstanding the question, but if Pokemon were real, my team would be:
      – Arcanine
      – Ampharos
      – Staraptor
      – Quagsire
      – Togekiss
      – Noivern
      ————————————
      Much like Ash in this gen, I may have too many flyers. Aerial Pokemon are generally really cool though, so I don’t know.

      • Its supposed to be pokemon you would realistically have instead of just favorites. Dunno if you got that or not or what 😛

        Reply
        • Hmm, I guess based on pets and where I live, I would have:
          – Mightyena (black dog)
          – Raichu (mouse)
          – Bidoof (closest thing to a groundhog)
          – Beedrill
          – Pidgeot

          Reply
          • My original thought was POOCHyena, but I evolved it. I would say houndoom, but I didn’t want my team to be too similar to other’s teams.

          • Oh, and Greninja. We have lots of frogs around my place, and Greninja is cooler than the other frogs, so that’s why.

    • I live in puerto rico a tropical island but including pets i would have:
      -chatot-my cockatiel
      -finneon-i have an aquarium
      -pidove- lots of pigeons here lel
      -iwanko- i love dogs and even though i dont have one irl i would have definitly gotten one
      -tyrunt-i had an obsession with dinos so i figured that maybe i would have gotten one on my trip to the smithsonian in 2013
      -snivy-i would have tried to get it as it is my favorite pokemon or
      -torchic-my grandparents had chickens

      -Politoed (lots of ponds here too :P)
      -Litten
      -Persian
      -Luxray

      I have three cats so I guess those would do 😛

    • -Skitty (because I have a cats)
      -Politoad
      -Stantler
      -Ursaring
      -Pikipek

      I live in the woods so like, we have tons of wildlife around here and tons of bears and deer.
