6th Gen Mega Evolution in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

[Powerserge]

No guard? No way.

There doesn't seem to be much changes in terms of aesthetics (well, I suppose this the main point of mega-evolutions--to have these Pokémon forms to resemble their original as closely as possible, while still keeping it slightly different), but its No Guard ability sounds quite interesting! I can't think of any move right now which it could use to take advantage of this ability, but I'm sure it will be of great help.

Only thing I'm personally not too intrigued with is its typing, which is still normal-flying. Would've been nice to see how things would be had that changed. Not too big of a deal, though!

As for Mega-Beedrill, that also looks pretty good. Seems to be very intimidating, which I'm definitely fond of! Just wondering about how its stats are going to be.

I still wonder what that "secret" mega evolution will be...

The one that will be shown in the demo copy.

It has Hurricane, and it apperantly could learn Heat Wave through move tutor. They may give it new moves to fit it's ability, like how they gave more 'Pulse' moves in XY to Blastoise to make use of Mega Launcher.


Perhaps they'll give it Thunder, and Fire Blast through Tm. Normal types can usually learn a diverse number of elemental moves so why not? Maybe Blizzard too.


Since Pidgeot got a Mega other early route mons may get Megas too. Hopefully Nocowl will get one, where it'll be Psychic/Flying and get a new ability that functions like Pixelate. Or maybe even Normal/Psychic with the ability Levitate. It also raises my hopes that Linoone and Swellow will get them.

I would expect to see Mega Butterfree revealed in the coming weeks. As Butterfree is a counterpart to Beedrill, it's definitely looking likely. I can't see them buffing up one of the two and leaving the other to fall behind for no particular reason.

mega beedrill =/= mega butterfree

remember, we got mega mawile, gardevoir and blaziken in X and Y, and Sableye, gallade, sceptile and swampert in ORAS
banette in X and Y, yet nothing about dusknoir
We've got mega slowbro in ORAS, but nothing about mega slowking (as of yet)

all pokemon listed have counterparts, and neither received megas in the same game (slowking/slowbro could change that, but I doubt it), so basically i'm saying that just because one pokemon gets a mega, doesn't automatically confirm that it's counterpart will receive a mega, too

I'll hold my opinion of Mega Pidgeot until we know its stats. If he gets a Sp.Atk. boost, he should be much more useful than regular Pidgeot because, with full accuracy, Hurricane and Heat Wave are better moves than Brave Bird. He may also get better Speed. Mega Charizard Y also has bigger wings and a Speed beef. Pidgeot doesn't need much more Speed though because X and Y boosted his base Speed to 101, which is quite good. I'm expecting him to be like Mega Charizard X, who received a generous boost to a lesser stat (Attack). And, with high Sp.Atk., he'll be the only early route bird with decent Sp.Atk. and Speed stats, which carves him quite a good niche.

If I were GF, I'd lower Pidgeot's Attack to 70, boost his Sp.Atk to 135, his Speed to 121, and both his Defenses to 85.

It's not unknown for certain Pokémon to get movepool updates mid-gen, too. I'm still hopeful for a Dark-type move stronger than Bite on Gyarados, and the Tutors could help these Pokémon even further.

If Mega Pidgeot meet a pokemon with Zap Cannon, Thunder, Stone Edge and Sheer Cold I fear for him.

 

[Liberal Army]

Yeah Mega Pidgeot can be a great partner in doubles.

It's sad how Mega Pidgeot has like only 2 good moves that can be abused by No Guard; Hurricane and Heat Wave. Mega Pidgeot will always be hit by Stone Edge, Thunder and Focus Blast. Horrible.

Mega Beedrill is going to be a powerhouse. STAB X-Scissor and Poison Jab now have a BP of 160 thanks to Adaptability, and if they're super effective hits then their BP is a whopping 320.

Aside from these 2 megas, I am now 100% sure that Shiftry gets a Mega. Since he was first used as promo for Sidney's team, he appeared in almost every battle scene screenshots and trailers. It is just so obvious. He even appears in a screenshot battling Mega Pidgeot.

Only danger is Stone Edge. Nobody uses Thunder, and Focus Blast is neutral on him.

No Guard is still better than all of his three regular abilities.

I've seen plenty of Thunder users, so it's at least underused, if not Overused.
Maybe they'll give Pidgeot Earthquake to take care of the types most likely to have those two moves.

Earthquake would be useless on him since it has 100% accuracy and his Mega will get a Sp.Atk. boost not Attack.

I meant as a way to counter Rock and Electric not necessary that it'll benefit from it's ability. Though you're right about the Sp. Atk boost...maybe Earth Power instead.

I really like the looks of these new megas, especially pidgeot. I wish it got a new type to replace normal, though. Beedrill's mega also looks a bit too much like escavalier to me.

Spoiler:

And still no mega flygon news.

I've waited almost seven years for flygon to get an edge over garchomp, Game Freak. I can wait a while longer.

Spoiler:

NO I CAN'T

Maybe Mega Flygon will the Demo's Mega. Flygon took the place of the Latis in Emerald's opening so it's almost like a non legendary Suicune that can evolve to those two xD. And they both got Megas. Of course Gallade didn't get a Mega in XY either...so maybe in Z where it'll be overshadowed by Mega/Primal Zygarde as the best Ground/Dragon type :(

 

[Hiatus]

Are any more mega-evolutions set to be reveled in future, or is Pidgeot and Beedrill the last? If there's more, then Mega-Flygon still has some chance of being introduced, I feel, considering how popular it is among fans and whatnot. Definitely think it deserves one, personally; even if they had given these forms to several other dragon-types already, it wouldn't hurt to gift it to one more.

 

[Altius]

This is very interesting:

 

[Sceptile90]

Can we talk about why Mega Latios/Latias is in the code of X/Y? We now know that Mega Latio/as will let you fly in the overworld, so it may be possible that the Eon Flute will be obtainable in X and Y.

 

[Nah]

Part of me hopes that some of that is right (character customization, move tutors, expanded post-game), but I have to be skeptical because....why would someone leak all that on Reddit?

 

[Sceptile90]

This is very interesting:

Personally, I hope this leaker is true! http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/21269040 I mean, who WOULDN'T want the Battle Frontier to be like as it's described?

Well so far, he got the mega pidgeot and mega beedrill right. I hope it is true!
