OH MY GOD.

I know it's fake but that would be soooooooo awesome!

I really hope we get Mega Pidgeot now!

1 minute ago: The other 3 Mega Pokémon that we knew from CoroCoro have been officially announced.


Make sure to visit the official website for more information on these new Mega Evolutions:

Also, notice that it has been confirmed that Mawile will receive the Fairy type.

I can imagine a few of the Pokémon that are looked over from the rest will get this Mega Evolution, well I hope so anyway! I'd like to see this happen for Dunsparce, Relicanth, Maractus, Cryogonal, Seviper etc.

I agree but exclude Relicanth & Cryogonal, their designs are just plain horrible tbh.
Dunsparce should get a regular evolution first before going Mega, because I doubt them giving a Mega forme to an unevolved Pokémon...
Maractus could MegaEvolve into something like Togemon (that's a Digimon btw) but maybe with flowers & a few more decorations? IDK really I'm sure GF will come out with something. :P

And seeing as Pikachu is the Iconic Pokemon, most likely it/Raichu will get one. Or it could be a rare exception to the 'fully evolved' rule, and Pikachu itself could get a mega due to its Iconic stature.
Hey maybe even Ash's Pikachu will be the one to show us in the series~

Yeah I doubt that, because Ash will never evolve his Pikachu :( but knowing that MegaEvolution is actually just forme changing during battle then maybe there's a chance... But I see his other pokes taking the priority over Pikachu to MegaEvolve tbh.

Huh? Mawile, Absol and Kangaskhan all got an upgrade without being evolved Pokemon so that doesn't really make sense tbh.

If he knows it's temporary, then he might not mind. And it could be a complete accident. Remember when Pikachu fused with Groudon's stone? Maybe it could accidentally eat/merge with a Mega stone, and then in critical state, it could Mega Evolve~

Also, I had a theory on why Ash never ages.... The residue of conflicting psychic energy from Mew and Mewtwo's battle....
Or the energy of all the pokemon that brought him back to life..he's trapped in psionic stasis or something like that.

They should make :
Rapidash, Zangoose, Seviper, Tropius, to mega Evolve

As everyone here may or may not know, the Mega Evolutions have increased stats compared to their original counterparts. Here are the known ones so far:
-Mega Lucario has increased Attack
-Mega Absol has increased Attack and Speed
-Mega Mawile has increased defenses (Defense and Special Defense)

Don't forget Mega Mewtwo having increased Speed, and I take it that we don't know which stats were increased for Mega Ampharos?

With it's ability Huge power and increased defenses Mawile is sure to be more useful.

I'll like to see a MegaExploud. It could have an ability like the one someone mentioned in another thread, one in which sound moves get the same incease as stab. Of course that would make it's Hypervoice quite powerful.

Sorry I didn't mean to say that, what I had in mind is that Dunsparce is yet to become more powerful & have better stats before going Mega so that it stands up to the other Mega pokes...

If Mawile didn't lose significant Attack to make up for the increased Defense.

Wouldn't Huge Power mean it's got...well huge power? I doubt they'd decrease its attack and give it that ability...kinda doesn't make sense.

I can't really form an opinion until we know everything about them.

As for designs, I like them. At first it didn't seem very "pokémon-ish", and it still feels a little weird, but I guess new ideas are welcome, and this seems rather interesting.

I will wait and see

Well they could still give it a drastic boost. I mean Mawile wasn't powerful before but now it has better defenses, a great ability and a new type.

It makes perfect sense; if they did decrease its attack then giving it Huge Power is their way of compensating for the lowered attack.

Just because a Pokemon has Huge Power it doesn't mean that it has a great attack stat. Azumarill has a base attack stat of 50 and it has HP.

I have an inkling that our regional starters will each have a megalution.

Do you guys think that the Kalos Pokemon will have megalutions available, if so, do you speculate that they will be as abundant as the megalutions added to the pokemon released from Gen 1-5?

Let's see if Fennekin get a Sakuyamon like Megalution.

What he's saying is it would be really pointless to lower an already established stat, only to give it an ability to boost the same stat... they could just boost the stat a bit and have it keep it's original ability if that was a concern...

Thank you....
That's what I meant by it. Why would they set up a self-contradicting pokemon? I mean that entirely destroys the point of abilities in the first place. They're supposed to make them better, not make them remain neutral. Aside from abilities that have either no empowering effect or no effect in battle.
They'll most likely keep attack the same or maybe slightly increase it. Mawile isn't exactly fast, and I highly doubt it's mega form is going to be any faster...so they have to do something to take care of that and make it useful.

Favorite Mega Pokemon so far...

I uncluded the IMO most epic Mega Pokemon...
