SHIT DAMN LUCARIO LOOKS KICKASS!
Is Lucario being attacked in the bottom corner?
More HQ scans!
From Pokejungle:
"Also confirmed is that next month’s Corocoro is to show even more Mega Evolutions, alongside an updated type chart to show off Fairy-type."

Has anyone thought about this generation's legendary trio?
Can we bring up some speculation/concepts for them?

I'm glad it's not for all pokemon at least. That would be insane .-.
from pokebeach's translations, some interesting things
I wonder if this is how you get Mega Stones? Or maybe an area only available to Megas? Hm hm hm

By the looks of things, Mega Stones are the item needed for mega-transformation. Blazikenite appears to be a character-specific item for Blaziken, like a Soul Dew or a Lustrous Orb, following the translated notes posted on Pokebeach.
Besides that, I have a veeery long reply regarding CoroCoro, so that's gonna wait for a few more hours. until I get it all worked out;

The popular theory is that there will be a draconic creature based on Nidhogg, but this is based on the notion that Xerneas and Yveltal are based predominantly around Norse mythology. My pet theory is that the both of them are based on popular Japanese mystical creatures, and the third legendary should match that level of mysticism. I think the most suitable design would be a river spirit, since there is much folklore about spirits who inhabit rivers and whose health is dependent on the purity of the water that flows through their river. HOWEVER, Japanese lore depicts these river spirits as dragons already. Creating something based partially on river spirits and the rest of the inspiration from Nidhogg still gives us a dragon, so we'd continue to get the best of both worlds, assuming that Xerneas and Yveltal have those two cultural points of artistic inspiration.

Does anyone realize how power a megalucario can be. I did calculation.
252 atk,adaptability,adamant,choice band Lucario using Close Combat vs. 252 hp, 252 def, bold Groudon it does around 53.96%-63.86% guaranteed 2hko. And thats just normal lucario, imagine what it can do in its megalution. Instant Uber 1st day.

It says on Serebii that Mega Pokemon have stats increases. How can they do that? The cutoff for legendary (pseudo included) is 580bst. If Pokemon like Blaziken get a bst boost they will be on par with the legendaries. Perhaps, other stats will lower?
I am not likely absol's new hairdo. I mean have a sense of fashion Asbol like Ampharos. Ampharos hair is cool.

I feel it's almost certain that some stats will be lowered (mostly...I doubt Mawile will see a dip in stats)
Let's take Blaziken for example.
Let's say its mega form ups...I don't know...Special Attack for whatever reason.
It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that it loses some Attack or maybe even Speed (it does get Speed Boost "naturally"...) in return
In fact with Lucario specifically, I wouldn't be surprised if it got the exact same treatment as Landorus-T. 10 points from special attack & speed, those 20 points put into Attack
Oh you know what
If we really don't get access to Mega until whenever we encounter the new gym leader, I bet this is a way to give access to Mega Blaziken without also giving access to every other mega.
If these are hold items, it could also double as a way to get around item clause
Of course you completely ignored the fact that MegaLucario is item locked and can't use choice band, so that knocks it down a chunk.
Edit: Of course I hope that enough stat boosts/rearrangements to make the Megas worth using considering Item lock.
About the new Pickuppers, does anyone have an idea concerning "Cheek Pouches"? I'm hoping it's a "have to eat this to use the other item" ability. Like eat a berry, and hold the other stored item.
