Missing Mega Stones to Re-Materialize in Sun & Moon

by

Spent 8 minutes looking at a Scrabble dictionary and thesaurus seeing what ‘m’ word I could use as the verb in my headline. Certainly a bit of a stretch on my part, but The Pokémon Company has announced that missing Mega Stones will be awarded as entry prizes for upcoming online battle tournaments. Specifically mentioned were Mawilite and Beedrillite which are slated to be given out in late February.

This may be seen as a boon for some fans, while others may have preferred all of the stones simply being included from the beginning or even the ability to download them without the hassle of registering for a competition.

  2. Would’ve been better if they could just patch them in but at least there’s a way dedicated players can get hold of them.

  7. Ugh…..so basically I’ll have to enter another battle tournament without being totally ready in order to get something I want lol

  10. Meh, I don’t mind having to register for the competitions (I’ve managed to always secure my entry in past ones where I also only wanted to get the gift) and lose all the battles just to get the stones.
    It just confuses me why couldn’t they just include all the stone in the game in the first place. Why have all this convoluted process for something that was their main campaign just one gen ago?
    Like, they have the Primal Orbs, the Sinnoh trio Orbs, the DNA Splicers, etc. in the game and none of the respective pokémon appear in S&M, so why did they do it differently for Megas? It’s pure non-sense.
    I just hope it doesn’t take the whole Gen to get all the stones.

  13. If anyone can do trade backs with me I would really appreciate it. I just need buzzwole for my dex and I’m having a hard time on the GTS. My Fc is 0087-2682-3542

  16. So I got an idea
    A space squid who stays inside of a space helmet for its first phase. The next one it breaks the Helmet and Gains a glassy look to its one eye. It also grows a bunch

  17. Got an area idea for Pokémon Acid and Base:

    The Sea of Sand

    ‘The presence of the Fire Elemental has completely rendered this island as a desert, despite being just off the coast of the relatively mild *PokéEngland*. Pokémon from other regions have been transported here in order to preserve them’

    Pokémon found here are (semi)aquatic creatures that are associated with sand in Pokémon – Hippopotas, Gible, and Sandile, along with their evolutions. This desert is also inhabited by the regional Sandygast, which consists of the spirits of those who died in the desert and resemble sandy monsters infused with glass and are found in the hottest depths of the desert. Rock/Ghost.

    Fire Elemental’s design hasn’t been finalised yet, but it will be associated with magma, glass and flame, being Fire/Rock.

  18. Eh, I guess I prefer this to having to buy them with battlepoints. It is *just* an entry prize. You don’t even have to battle well.

    Reply

  20. From the lore standpoint of they’re posed to be these rare things, I kinda get it, but what abut the people who can’t enter the competitions?

    Reply

  21. Do you guys think they made incineroar’s design a wrestler to compliment Kukui’s “masked royal” alter ego? Cause if you choose Rowlet, he uses one and I’ve always kind of thought that there are starters that each character is meant to possess from a story standpoint.

    Reply

  24. my own opinion I feel like The Pokémon Company could have released SOME of the Mega Stones via online competitions while others (majority) could have been added to the Battle Tree Prize area and SOME for sale at Kahuna Olivia’s shop in Koni Koni City. I think it would make the Trainers much happier if they were distributed through different “avenues” within the game.

  25. Yo assholes this is how my Deci run is going to work

    I’ll tell you when I’m away to catch the Pokémon, I ask you guys for nicknames, and then I give the wheel decide a whirl

    To start off: what should I give my Rowlet? Male and female names plz

    Reply

  29. Boooo….Down with this oppression. What if I don’t want to enter battle tournaments? Or if I’m unavailable to enter them?

    Nice slap in the face GF. We won’t do DLC but we’ll do other stupid stuff to piss people off…hehehe

  32. Who cares, all I need is Aerodactylite, Garchompite, Lucarionite, Heracronite, Galladeite and maybe Swampertite and Cameruptite

    1.) Samurott

    The Starter I hear many of you hate this Pokémon all the time well this is my Favorite and here’s why…. It has been since when I pre-ordered I was told Oshawott was an Otter not a clown (I originally thought it was a clown) and I feel in love with it, then I evolved it to Samurott and was like… This is the best thing ever! I choose it as my BW2 Starter too and it is the only reason I beat Iris with its Dragon Tail. It has a great set of moves, good design and that is why it is my favorite Pokémon

    • Also I translated this text many times and this came out:

  54. SuMo Playthrough 3 Update

    Pig has a Serious nature, which goes really well with Decidueye tbh both lore wise and in-game.

    Next Pokémon I’m going to catch is Alolan Meowth, so I’m taking suggestions for male and female names

  56. So if you evolve a Gen 1 mon that didn’t get an evolution till a later gen will it still have the special gameboy icon next to it?

  59. So on the way home from work I was thinking about if they do end up making a DP remake and what my team would be. I think I’ll probably PC my starter if they remake it as I’ve already used all 3 Sinnoh starters and don’t really want duplicates. With that in mind I have to find a new “starter” to fill the place of the the actual one. I think I may try and use a fire type Pokemon I’ve never used before. Seeing as Sinnoh has a disgraceful number of interesting fire types and I’ve already used the ones I think are cool I’m thinking about breeding my ideal starter and then just sending it over. Just gotta figure out what I’d want to use first lol

    Reply

  60. Seeing as Masquerain got a buff in SuMo I really hope DPPt remakes give Kricketune, Wormadam and Mothim buffs, especially kricketune

    Maybe something like

    HP: 77
    Attack: 85 – > 90
    Defense: 51 > 76
    Sp. Atk: 55
    Sp. Def: 51 – > 76
    Speed: 65

  62. Huzzah for past megas coming back. I knew they wouldn’t just leave them in SM. (even though they should have just made them accessible in the first place). Once we get those competitive battling can really start. AND after I EV train around 10boxes of pokemon

  63. They should make another new item for completing something in game ala oval and shiny charms

    Gift Charm: This item increases the chance wild pokemon will have a hold item by 50%

      • Because it literally hasn’t really done anything, most bugs have things that’ll kill Fairies anyway or they just wouldn’t of beat them anyway, and it actually makes Psychic/Fairies and Grass/Fairies viable

        Reply

      • It’s fine as it is rn but I wouldn’t mind Fairy not resisting it, whereas I used to actively want Fairy to take neutral from Bug

        Reply

          • Yeah it’d make Bug handy

            I think it’s only needed rn if we get more dual bulky Fairies, most Fairies now are weak in one defense and thus are easier to drop with neutrals than other types

          • despite Ground really not getting anything in 2 gens and Fairy Everything (XY gets a pass) but now its just favoritism at this point

          • how was it spoiled, every type was honored equally every gen
            only now since the XY types have either gotten stuff or plain neglected

          • the devs admitted they were short on fire types,

            but this is still no excuse why dexs should be unjust with types nowadays

          • They’ve always been unjust

            And not everything has to be set, equal and fair. In fact, the unpredictability GameFreak now embraces makes the games feel organic because they’re not meeting a quota per type

          • then this problem will always happen, if they don;t wise up and make it fair for all types which clearly isn’t happening

          • Making it fair is unnatural though, because you’re forcing GameFreak to a set structure and allowing them very little creative liberty

          • what’s honestly wrong with every type getting a fair share, so its fair if one type or collective of types gets everything and others get zich?

            pretty selfish if you ask me

          • How Tf is it selfish? If anything you’re being selfish because you’re unrealistically wanting things to go your way becuase you don’t like it

          • “Honored equally every gen”

            -Looks at poison and water type in gen 1
            -Looks at the shit treatment of bug gens 1-4

          • Oops, that actually puts it up to four

            One prevo, one line so bad it was deemed necessary of an evo in Gen IV, and Delibird

          • Five Ice-Types, one of which is a prevo, one of which is Delibird, and three pokemon so underpowered they needed another evo to fix them

            So fair

          • It’s always been treated poorly so I’m ready for it, but tbh seeing as only I and IV have been good for it and we’ve just got two tropical regions in a row in hoping Gen 8is a cold region

          • Scotland

            I was personally hoping for somewhere Scandinavian with some Norse inspiration similar to how Hawaiian myths inspired the Tapu

          • No Earthen, they weren’t

            Ground has consistently gotten four + lines, whereas Ice Dragon and Ghost have constant poor representation

            Ground has the single most spammabale move in the game

            Fire was treated like shit in Gen IV

            Bugs were weak af until Unova

            Hoenn had as little Ice as you have brain cells

            Gen I introduced like 1/3rd of all Poison types in the franchise

            Dragon only got one non legend in Gen IV

          • like those’ll survive an Ice Beam or Scald
            They could’ve made Pallossand a Special Attacker’s nightmare but it fell flat

          • Earthen, that logic is so non-sensical. And you’re always talking about them doing things evenly for every type. The fairy movepool is lacking, look at the facts. Accept them. Wait till they make a physical ground/fairy pokemon and all you’re left with is 90 accuracy play rough. Have fun.

          • No it didn’t lol, Fairies still like the third rarest type. If they didn’t retain in fact there’d be a pathetic number of Fairies

          • 9 lines. That’s pretty decent and fair. If you try to look at it as them always having been there, that’s pretty poor equality per generation

          • whatever i’m done with this banwagon, Fairies are a gigantic issue same with legends same with these tight nich generations

            Hopefully in the future they’ll honor everything equally and everything would get something good and actually impact the meta

          • Dragon should never get a boost again (Not like Salamence and Rayquaza at least ones like flygon and Garchomp are fine)

          • i’m talking in a competitive set
            like you’re honestly going to see a non mega altaria or turtonator

          • Leaving becuase you know you’re being unreasonable? Ta ta

            Also all these legendaries your bitching about have lower BSTs than Megas and Pseudo Legends and are in OU whilst Blaziken and Greninja, starter Pokémon, are chilling in Ubers

          • Call me when Fairy’s fifty (keep in mind this includes type change Megas) meets Ground’s sixty five

            And even then could just mean GF wants Fairy to be a common type like Normal, Grass and Water always have been

          • that would be honestly fine, but they GOTTA stop making small regions, can we please honestly agree on that?
            Gen 8 should get the gen 5 deal and a super big game, super big dex and no one type gets the good stuff?

            fair?

          • 1. Fairies balanced the dragon dominated meta
            2. Fairies made poison and steel much more viable
            3. Types were never honored equally
            4. You just want ground to be OP so you dont have to change and continue using one type and never have to deal with counters

          • 1: they’re replacing dragons as the dominated type
            2: they’re still very nich in the sweeping department
            3 agreed
            4: i never said anything about wanting it op (its already good at what it does) but lately i can’t even bring one out without it being destroyed in an instant, i just freaking want a few is that so freaking wrong, come on in the last couple of years only 4 and half of them aren’t even that good, how do you think i feel when everyone gets more and more fairies

          • 1. What? No? Tapus aren’t all fairies.
            2. They aren’t going to sweep much but they are at least usable.
            4. BECAUSE YOU ONLY USE GROUND. You don’t adapt to counter the meta. That is how metagames work. You adapt. If you dont adapt, you are going to lose over and over. Ground types are not a type that can handle diverse teams. It is a strong type with lots of viable weaknesses. But instead of changing to make up for those weaknesses you choose to get angry at it

          • Have Fairies not been clinging to top teir for a while now?
            I ONLY MONO GROUND IN MONOTYPE U DUMMY
            I HAVE OTHER TEAMS Y’KNOW

          • Azumarill, Gardevoir, Togekiss, Sylveon, Gardevoir, Mega Diancie, M Mawile, Slurpuff, and now the Tapus

          • The point is, you always make excuses and blame the game for your losses in a match. RNG, legendaries, Tapus, Fairies, it is always the game’s fault for you not winning

          • because that’s they’re always an issue, if its non-legends its a different story
            but 90% of the time its op legends

          • 1) No they’re not, the Tapu are omnipresent because terrains (none of which boost their Fairy stabs) not being Fairies. Beyond that the only Fairies in the tier are Megas and Clefable, maybe Z Klefki iirc
            2) Sweeping =/= Good, they’re both amazing defense types that Fairies struggle to break and are eventually beat out by
            3) You were literally just bitching about how they used to be, it’s literally just because it’s now effecting your personal favourite that you give a shit
            4) The majority of new Fairies aren’t good besides legends, the best Fairies have been recons and Megas

          • Fairy, special Bugs, special Rock, special Fighting, physical Psychic, physical Ghost, physical Electric, physical Fire

            And that’s just off the top of my head

          • Same, I love seeing wether my opponents playing it safe with Flamethrower or risking it with Fire blast

  67. I try to reduce the amount of random questions I have, but does anyone have pokemon they are going to bottle cap from past gens.
    I have collecttive 100+ shinies and legends I need to bottle cap. Im soooo ready. Im even about to go back and shiny hunt sub legends I got bad nature for this is gonna be a beautiful generation with my pack of legit shiny pokemon and competitive legends. Arceus Bless Bottle caps

    Reply

    • nope because i’m just stopping Pokemon, clearly things are just never going to get better
      gonna focus on splatoon for the next month until the switch

      and if i were gonna bottlecap anything it would be my Shiny Chesnaught Sherman but what good he’ll last in today’s meta

          • Simple, for the totem energy, that’s literally the reason
            Plus, catching something doesn’t mean it’s instantly tamed either

          • BS that Totem energy was a joke, they gave her Milotic attack when she only had flail

            there was absolutely no reason other than sheer laziness to not give her Nihilego

          • And this is why people don’t like you buddy, this is exactly why. You can’t go around saying how the whole world is against ya and than turn around and say this sort of shit to people like that.
            Either learn to be nice, or learn to shut the fuck up, your choice

          • I’m not in the wrong here friendo, there is zero reason Lusamine shouldn’t have Nihilego,

            you’re nuts if you don’t agree

          • That’s not what I’m saying your wrong about, I’m saying you don’t say shit like assalting people cause they don’t agree with your opinion.

            I’m responding by saying, the reason she doesn’t have it is probably so GF can leave another unpatched story hole to try and force people to buy another game to finish the story, is that so farfetch’d?

          • tough luck pal, that part of my brain, the empathy gland totally gone
            just plain eroded and you know i’m kidding mostly

            “so GF can leave another unpatched story hole to try and force people to buy another game to finish the story,”

            how could that kinda response not end with you beaten and left on a pike? it doesn’t even work in this situation, maybe her conclusion in kanto maybe but this that truly doesn’t work

          • Oh, than sorry for bursting out at ya.. today’s been a rough day

            Trust me, this is GF.. they can make ANYTHING work to get money…. they advertised moving cars on a bridge for gen 5

          • I still will have beat you with various amounts of farming equipment for your insolence

            Sorry but there’s just no avoiding that

          • Look at the advertising done for the past gens
            They freaking held off on finishing the story of Mr. GODDAMN BONDING

  86. Here’s #4 and #3 of my Top ten favorite Pokemon!

    #4 Kingdra
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0f9237fbc7be5c9c1c2bd651678409393d9801e4492850d78642b8dab72e420f.png
    The one and only Dragon type hailing from Johto, Kingdra is a great Water Pokemon to have on the team, as well as being worth it in the end. Seriously, after diving into the Whirl Islands to find a Horsea through the Good Rod (and you have a 3% of finding it), leveling up to a Seadra, and then finally trading it with a friend of yours, it becomes a deadly and lethal Pokemon to use. Although I evolved mine in Kanto, the sheer amount of power it had to stand up against the Gym Leaders was amazing. Overall well rounded stats in all of its stats, Kingdra makes it great offensively and defensively. Not only that, it has two fantastic abilities: Sniper and Swift Swim. If you want sheer, destructive power, then having Sniper with Focus Energy and Scope Lens makes it very powerful. Or, if you would prefer to power up your water types moves, while also being faster than any other Pokemon in the Rain, Swift Swim is a nice slice for that.
    Not only that, but its design is what makes me like it even more. Despite the simple appearance all Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon had, Kingdra still gives off a feel of “don’t screw with me”. And that stays true with Kingdra in battle, because you will get pummeled by it if you aren’t careful.

    #3 Arcanine
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/99fc6df35f39b08e736f5c4909ae96a7ba2ac6c97174b867058fde856aa7ae3d.png
    There will be people that say that their favorite Fire type of all time will be Charizard. Or even people who say that Chandelure is the best of them all.
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c560af47b48c344f94d1c63a22a920e78d690e655370cd54bed2ef87b8e5001d.gif
    Had to make that pun, sorry XD
    Anyways, my favorite Fire type of them all is Arcanine. A recent favorite to my top ten list, I knew for a fact I had to place Arcanine pretty high up there. It’s one of my favorite animals and has my favorite typing of all time on it. And I think we can agree that its appearance is either A) Majestic B) Badass C) Adorable D) All of the above. I mean just look at it! I’d be more than glad to have a loyal flamin’ dog beside me on my journey.
    In its battling strength, Arcanine has great, even stats that allow it to be anything (I should have mentioned this with Kingdra, but when a Pokemon has some pretty even stats, they’re my favorite). Ontop with its stats, one of its abilities, Imtimidate, makes it so its defensive bulk is even better, so that it can live off some powerful physical super effective hits. With this, it can essentially become anything thanks to its very wide move pool as well: Flare Blitz, Outrage, Close Combat, Extreme Speed, Crunch, Double Edge, Morning Sun, and so many more tools it can utilize.
    It’s insane how much it has that makes it awesome, which makes this fire dog pretty high on this list.

    I”ll try posting my #2 tomorrow. The Pokemon might be surprising for some people…

  88. I called it. let it be known. Its only been a few months since release and yet now all I see is peoples opinions of sun and moon spiralling ever down from the pedestal, it happened with XY even if people deny it, and its happening with sun and moon. Its become a cycle. Only black and white saw the reverse of such a system.

    Reply

      • I never said they weren’t, I’m just saying I’ve noticed a lot more people each day that loved the game and held them to the highest degree drop such opinions of it and I know others will too, its just how it goes, and honestly I knew it would happen and those same people said it wouldn’t. Im just salty tbh

        *your picture is adorable*

        Reply

          • hell yes thats how I felt with XY lol, thank you. I honestly loved those games and still do I just get sad when others that used to, now call it terrible, like you had so many examples for loving it then but now you hate it for less reasons? *you is not referring to you specifically but like the theoretical people I mean*

            HGSS for life though <3

          • HGSS are perfect. Well… Other than that level curve but besides that.. Omg I love them.

            And while I still really dislike X and Y, I feel like I could replay Sun and a moon again and love it all the same. I just adore the characters.

            X and Y did have the AZ story though and I love him and his Floette and he has to have more that expands on him

    • Yeah some people are a little too harsh on all the games. I thought ORAS was generally pretty good, but a lot of people here hate them. S/M aren’t perfect, but they’re still great games.
