I agree, I know the game has been getting a lot of bad rep for its graphic but at least by my standards this feels good enough.

The video also revealed that Mega Evolving has priority (Mega Evolving is done before any Pokemon makes a move, as seen when Ampharos Mega Evolved and didn't attack until Gogoat made its move)

Anyway, just by looking at the HP bars, I can estimate that Pangoro has 95 base HP (assuming 0 IVs, a Pokemon with that base HP stat has 155 HP at level 50).

Thanks for that, I've never been good calculating stats. Also Im glad Mega Evolution has priority and how its been said before its selectable, so you can do it whenever you want.

I did the same thing, all the Pokemon used had no HP IV's, but then Ampharos came out with 17(8-ish?) which meant it had about 20 HP IV's which doesn't make sense that it's the only Pokemon to have them...

Ampharos are known more for their defenses, so when Ampharos changes into its Mega form, I'm guessing it gets a raise in its Defense and Special Defense stats. It could gain a boost in Special Attack, but its Sp. Attack is already quite high, so I'm not exactly sure why that would need a boost. Also, I'm hoping that Mega Ampharos gets the Lightningrod ability. This will give us the chance to switch into this Pokémon whenever we're expecting the opponent to use an electric-type move. When it's hit by an electric attack, its Special Attack stat would be increased by one whole stage, which would enable it to start sweeping immediately. d:

MegaAmpharos has the ability Mold Breaker. It would be totally awesome if it got access to some special ground moves like Earth Power.

Raising it's defenses sounds good...though maybe raise its Defense stat and its speed.

Ampharos's speed is really low, I can't see them boosting it up as it wouldn't have as big of an impact. Mega Evolution's are meant to bring Pokemon up to Legendary quality, for someone like Absol a speed increase could benefit it a lot, whereas with Ampharos it would just knock it up to mediocre. I don't see it happening, but then again it all depends on how much the stats are increasing.

Do you guys think a normal Mega Evolved Blaziken will have Speed Boost? The one from the Event has it's special ability even as a Torchic hence why I ask as it's ability could've been carried over to it's Mega Evolution...

Mega Blaziken's ability is Speed Boost. None of the Mega's carry abilities from their original forms. The Dream World Torchic is just a coincidence. The Dream World ability and the Mega's ability just happen to be the same ability (Because its really OP and works well on Blaziken)

Thanks for clearing that up :) I'm glad to hear it's Mega will have it.

And just for a recap since I saw someone post earlier that they didn't know Mega Ampharos' ability, a quick list of all the Megas and their abilities:

Mega Venusaur: Thick Fat
Mega Charizard: Drought
Mega Blastoise: Mega Launcher
Mega Mewtwo X: Steadfast
Mega Mewtwo Y: Insomnia
Mega Blaziken: Speed Boost
Mega Lucario: Adaptability
Mega Mawile: Huge Power
Mega Absol: Magic Bounce
Mega Ampharos: Mold Breaker
Mega Kangaskhan: Parental Bond
Mega Garchomp: Sand Force

The two new abilities Mega Launcher and Parental Bond power up "Pulse" moves and allow the Pokemon to attack twice when it attacks on that turn respectively.

I feel MegaAbsol should've been part Fairy due to it's angel wings...or at least part flying...

I think that thick fat on mega veansaur was a good choice, it gets rid of two of it weaknesses. I think they could have done more with the design though.

My thoughts exactly! It's like they're doing it on purpose..

I really want to see Mega Scizor! I can see it's Attack and Defense stat being boosted. If it gets bigger wings then maybe it's speed will increase, though as much as I love fast Pokemon, don't think that would maximize Scizor's potential.

I can also see Houndoom getting a Mega Evolution. I'm kind of iffy on this :/ I don't want them to ruin him D: (If I see three heads I'm going to throw a ***** fit >,<)

As weird as it may sound, those are not actual wings.

Scizors alradey great as it is though, i think the main purpose of mega evolutions should be to give lower tier pokemon more use. Having one or two high tier fovarites is ok (Mewtwo and Blaziken) but any more than that and it will just make the game even more unbalanced. So i don't think scizor should get a mega evo, but Houndoom should.

I don't think GF cares about the smogon Metagame...
I think a MegaScizor should be faster with a higher special defense.

Ok so upon taking another look at the official site's info on Mega Pokemon. I found a little excerpt that pretty much says what I first thought. Garchomp "Loses Speed" when it becomes a Mega Pokemon. So far it is the only one with this written in, but origionally I said that these were just like any other form where the Pokemon's stats are just shifted around so they lose stats in place of the gains. Garchomp is losing speed to gain in Attack and Special Attack.

So I have a feeling that all of the Pokemon are losing some stats to give the boost to the two stats that are listed with them on the main Pokemon site.

If Mega Pokémon are indeed losing some of their stats to gain a boost in a few of their other stats, then I could easily see Mega Charizard losing its defensive stats a bit. Mega Charizard looks a lot less bulky than its regular form, so I'm not expecting it to be able to take lots of hits. This Pokémon may be getting a raise in its offensive stats, and maybe its Speed stat as well. Also, I'm guessing Mega Blastoise is going to lose a couple of its Speed stat. Since it has a bigger and heavier cannon on its back, and two more cannons on its arms, they would limit how fast Blastoise is able to move. d:

Not really. The reason Garchomp loses Speed is because it's already OP and keeping its Speed intact or boosting it would make it unstoppable. I'm expecting no losses for other Pokémon. These are not form changes. In a form change the BST stays intact. Doesn't seem to be the case with Mega Evolutions.

If Scizor gets a Mega I hope to see its Speed improved so it can finally send Scyther further down the order, outclassing it completely.

They never said that the BST doesn't stay the same. The only thing they said is that the focus on their stats change and some gain a boost which is what almost all Form changes do with exception to just Keldeo who's form change is just aesthetic. Garchomp is the only one so far that actively lists a lowering which before then was said not to be possible. Thanks to Garchomp, and even Mewtwo who has a form that is going to switch some of his stats to Physical attacks as he's always been a Special Attacker.
