Doublade is the evolution of honedge. Serebii confirmed it.

Forgot about that thing.. I guess you could argue that it becoming part dragon is just as ridiculous, but at the same time it at least has some relation with dragon, coming from its name, like you said. Plus it's a mega evolution, they are not the same as normal evolutions, so there could be different reasons for why it has become a dragon. Megas are meant to be treated just like legendarys, so giving it this extra type does make sense to me.

According to serebiiforums, Doublade is the work of the devil...

One reason why I prefer pokecommunity.

Who said this?
Well it is a possessed sword so maybe in story it's the work of Giratina...(who is part Ghost!) xD

Some people over at serebiiforums.

Not sure exactly but they're talking about all seeing eyes and the illuminati. I stopped caring after a while.

Spoiler:
But it is.
Spoiler:
I've seen the pic about it being the goat face of satan. It's probably a joke. :P

Those trolls...

Talking about the eyes Doublade is now no longer a Cyclops like Honedge as now it has two eyes making it a biclops. I hope it becomes a triclops for it's final evolution. Maybe it'll have access to some psychic moves (not that they'll help cover it's weaknesses but they'll be nice to have either way).

SnowpointQuincy September 25th, 2013 8:50 AM

I would've been fine if Honedge didn't evolve. It was a complete idea.

On the bright side, I can use his unevolved form in a play-through! Or even a NFE CHALLENGE (I disregareded him at first because I like to avoid OU/ Power House mons in playthroughs. And COME ON, he's a sword - it must be a strong pokemon.)

I'm really starting to doubt it'll be OU sadly as it has more weaknesses now. Hopefully it's stats will be awesome to overshadow that :3

Pokestick, good times. September 25th, 2013 8:55 AM

Yeah, it's striking me as something that probably won't be very useful competitively.

But since we don't know its stats or moveset, who knows? Especially if it gets a third evo.

MrDollSteak September 25th, 2013 8:56 AM

I believe it'll be pronounced Dub-blade as in Double Blade.

But yeah it's alright, the pink works a lot better than the blue for the hilt actually.

I feel the same way...hopefully it's looks are deceiving.

I do think the pink works better. The blue on the hilt of honedge to me looked like a wave of water...

Oshamaru September 25th, 2013 9:06 AM

...
Well...
This was so unexpected. I thought its evolution would be more different. I'm not really fond of it, but if it can evolve again and looks different, I might change my views about it. And yes, the name is terrible.

I do actually kind of like the design, compared to Honedge, but damn, what a waste of an announcement.

The ghostly suit of armor would have been a much better idea for Honedge in general. Blah.

Waste of an announcement? They always do this kinda thing XD

I didn't expect Honedge to get an evo, but I wasn't expecting it to be any other Pokemon really. I saw Orotto since it hadn't gotten an American release yet.

Also...so now apparently all the old leaked Pokedexes are fake as I don't remember any of them saying that Honedge evolved. So we just killed more rumors thanks to Gamefreak and Facebook.

True...they get our hopes up only to crush them xD

Yeah, not like many beleived them anyways but it does dispell them.

Noscium September 25th, 2013 9:24 AM

Not a good evolution but I like it.

Dedenne September 25th, 2013 9:41 AM

JUST LOOKED AT DOUBLADE OMG WAT EVEN IS THAT
I LAUHGINNNNNNNN

pokerex September 25th, 2013 9:42 AM

the Honedge/doublade line is about as creative as the voltorb/electrode line

Palkia September 25th, 2013 9:45 AM

It sounds like Doughblade for some reason. I expected Honedge to evolve into something stupid like Magnemite, and thus I'm not disappointed.

I did too, yet I'm disappointed that the actual swords don't look different from before...which they were more threatning looking.

Flareen September 25th, 2013 9:47 AM

Honedge being the (so far) only 6th gen Pokémon I don't like - or rather completely not care for - I guess I can say I am rather disapointed.
Or once again - I simply couldn't care less. 3:

I think that this is miles more creative then the Pokeball line. Heck, anything is more creative then that line. It's not like this design is totally uninspired, it is actually based off of a famous shield and swords logo that I forgot the name of, or so it seems to be. Just because they added another sword, it doesn't mean that it is lazy. Evolving a pokeball into an upside down pokeball is lazy.

Actually the hilt is slightly different... Not much of a consolation but it's something.

Imo Magneton is the least creative...second by the wack the Mole Dugtrio...

@ Twilight Sky. Yeah it could've been...they could've left it blue instead of giving it a magenta color.
