6th Gen Official September CoroCoro Discussion Thread -- Mega Evolutions, New Pokémon, More!

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I've used Durant in Black and it is a really strong Pokémon believe it or not, when it has the ability Hustle with Hone Claws and a Physical attack such as Aerial Ace or Iron Head it can really do some damage. I agree with you though that Durant would be beneficial to receive a Mega Evolution upgrade.

I did too, though it can benefit from one. Especially since it's outclassed by Scizor :(

 

[DamienHelvian]

I'll like to see a MegaDurant. It's one of those pokemon that seems good on paper but sort of backfires.

If Durant gets one, then Heatmor will get one, since they are essentially counterparts...two sides of the same coin.

Ah yes Heatmor could definitely use one as it's quite slow...

Yeah I was thinking what Durant as a Mega would look like, the thing would definitely have a monstrous Attack stat and with Hustle its attacks sure can hurt a lot. Aerial Ace even bypasses Hustle's accuracy drop so not even Flying-weak Pokemon are safe.

Most likely, Durant might turn into a winged ant...so maybe part flying type? Although many bug types can fly so I guess ti works.

And heatmor, not sure what it'd look like or be like. But hopefully it'd get something to counteract low speed, as it'd likely retain that weakness in mega form.

Maybe they make a Mega Combee for Males only...

The Combee Wall! They could make that an actual thing.

I know what Mega Dugtrio should look like...

*Snicker*

YUS PLEASE :D

I WANT I WANT I WANT

YUS PLEASE :D

Actually since it's mega dugtrio...so three. Mr Resetti and Don Resetti together, but who's the third?

I'll like to see a Magnezone MegaEvolution. One of it's dex entries mention scientists trying to evolve it further...but having failed. Also a MegaPorygonZ that's not glitched.

Another future sight dex entry, just great :P LOL.
Well I would really want a MegaPorygonZ too, if they ever make one perhaps that will be a second chance to put him in the Anime... But who am I kidding it probably won't happen :|

Poor Porygon, still framed by Pikachu.
But yeah, Mega PorygonZ would be a heck of a sight, it'd probably also be completely bonkers.

I'd prefer for Male Combee to get an evolution as a counter part to Vespiquen, otherwise a male Combee is just not going to get you anywhere. Maybe it doesn't have to be as strong as Vespiquen with it being the Queen Bee but it would be nice to see some sort of alternate evolution for the male forme.

I like that a lot actually. I mean, when it comes to bees it makes sense that the male one wouldn't have a traditional evolution, but giving it a Mega Evolution would at least make it not totally useless as it is currently. As far as an appearance for it though I can't really imagine it. All the other ones kind of look...right (if that's even a good description) to me, but a just giant honeycomb shaped bee would just be awkward =P

Just thought I'd put this out there that I'm not exactly the biggest fan of already strong Pokemon getting mega-evolutions. I firmly believe that only the underrated Pokemon (which is pretty much most of the mega-evolutions that have been revealed so far, sans Blaziken and Lucario), should get these new "forms", as to have that opportunity to be in the spotlight, competitively.

Finally, we have MegaMawile which can have an actual chance to shine with Huge Power. It can be a letdown if it doesn't have Fairy Priority, but let's hope that it does. And honestly, thats the "evo" (so to speak) that I was most happy about seeing.

Mawile has more to hinder it than just Fairy Priority. If Fairy attacks are pretty much all Special attacks then huge Power is an epic waste on her for that point. She'd only benefit from her Steel attacks mostly and her Dark attacks.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I'm sure Gf will try to even out Fairy type...it's not like the pre Gen IV which were either dominantly special or physical which caused some of the types in Gen IV to be dominantly one or the other until Gen V.

However if it is dominantly special it'll explain why they made an eeveelution Fairy xD.

That is a fair point...Fairy does sound like it will be Special and Stat heavy like Psychic types.

I agree with you! Lucario is my favorite Fighting type, because of its large versatality, amazing stats and Steel mono-type (Steel is my third favorite type ever!) but I think it's powerful enough.
It doesn't need an upgrade at things it already excells at! I personally want a Bibarel and Furret mega evolution. They would look amazing!

Glow Punch will surely be a physical move. However, it may actually not be a Fairy move although it should.

Yet after the switch, Flareon who is a Physical attacker has next to no really useful Physical Fire attacks due to a lack of them even existing. Which is my point with Fairy Type. We may get some, but if Mawile doesn't get any, Huge Power is wasted on her as a Fairy.

Yeah, Flareon is one of those who hasn't benefited even after the split despite it's high attack stat...damn GF give it some Physical moves!

Well it'll still help it's steel attacks...it wouldn't be any worse than strong duel types which have mostly moves of one type but not of the other cough Gyarados cough.

 

[SkyRyder]

I agree that Fairy will end up being special heavy.

And, for whatever reason, I'm not worried about Mawile's movepool regarding STAB Fairy moves. I can picture it learning something like Swift Strike(made up move of mine), which could be the Fairy-type equivalent of Quick Attack. One can dream, but the other guy would just wait to see what happens.

Also, yeah, there's even Glow Punch. That move's typing is debatable though.
