Mega Starters Confirmed!
According to a scan leak, It has been confirmed that two of our starters, Sceptile and Swampert, have been given Mega Evolutions! You can find even more info below
http://mynintendonews.com/2014/06/07/pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire-corocoro-reveals-includes-new-mega-evolutions-and-oras-details/ But first: Sceptile ME would be Grass/Dragon type with LightningRod ability Swampert ME would still be Water/Ground with swift swim ability That's it for now, base stats are still unconfirmed but what we know for sure that were getting MeVos for these two! |

Seriously , ''Speed Boost'' should be Mega Sceptile's ability.
I don't get why Mega Secptile has such useless ability like ''Lighting Rod'' . |

I rather prefer an ability that allow Secptile to deal with Steel , Fire Or Ice Pokemon |
While I'm glad that Mega Sceptile got the Grass/Dragon typing, I was actually hoping they'd take a more physical approach, and give it something like Tough Claws. Oh well, maybe they'll make it a mixed sweeper. Also, Lightningrod makes it good in Inverted battles.
EDIT: I love Mega Swampert. I hope Game Freak doesn't decrease its Speed too much, like they did with Mega Abomasnow. |

Mega Swampert pwns the definition of 'badass'. Seriously though, I was wondering how they'd make a mega for him without giving a 'derp' figure. Now I know that Swampert constantly takes steroids, or works out. A lot. Spoiler:
Totally excited to know their BSTs, though. |
I'm going to choose Treecko as starter so I'll get Mega Sceptile, I think its pretty cool.
But from all the starters with MegaEvolutions Swampert is the best I think.. |
Swift Swim on M-Swampert seems kinda odd. I mean it's meant to be a tank: take a hit, hit harder back (so it doesn't need to be fast) and with Rain being nerfed it seems even more useless to me.
M-Sceptile's design looks cool, but it's ability isn't that usefull on him either (except if you're playing Doubles, which I don't). |

Unless their is a ''Mega Blaziken Alpha'' which will be revealed during '' Pokemon XY Megevolution special Act II'' |
According to Bulbapedia, Sceptile's most powerful special Dragon STAB is Dragon Breath :(. I hope they fix that and let it learn Draco Meteor with Ampharos
|
Mega Swampert though, looks so buffed up now! But yeah I'm really impressed with all three of the new Mega Evolutions we've seen this month.

Draco Meteor can only be thaught to Dragon type Pokémon. Sceptile is only a Dragon during Mega Evolution in battle, so it will be unable to learn it in the overworld. |
Does anyone expect Blaziken to have another Megevolution ?
There's a solid reason behind it ! Most people already got Mega Blaziken though event so it become old. so Most Player might chose Treeko & Mubkip over Torchic because their Megevolution is Brand new . So The game might have another new Megevolution of Torchic to keep player interested . |
I don't mind sceptile getting lightning rod, a lot of pokemon have abilities that make them immune to attacks they already resist. It's basically just for switch-out purposes. Depending on his stats as a mega, sceptile could make good use of dragon claw if he's physically based, but yeah, he'll need more. Plus, his grass/dragon typing lets him take neutral damage from blaziken's fire attacks. I'm definitely going to chose him as a starter now.

As much as I love treecko (heck, it was my first EVER starter. I started the series with Ruby.), I would look at its new mega stats and move sets before my final decision. |

Luckily the fairy type lacks good moves (just Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough and Moonblast) overall, but this will change after generations. |

Ugh lol
Actually, Swampert's design looks pretty cool. That's what it should have been way back in RSE. Not really feeling Mega Sceptile or it's ability. Wasted potential I think. |
We already have a mega evolutions discussion thread as well as a CoroCoro discussion thread. Use those instead, please, that way we won't have multiple topics covering the same bases! Thanks~
