Torchic with its hidden ability is from a Japanese event, isn't it? Maybe this is GameFreak's way of officially releasing it to everybody.
It would need a pretty big power increase to make up for LO. In fact, the more powerful a pokemon is atm, the less likely the mega evo would have use, but to the item lock.
Except that MegaBlaziken will be able to use Baton Pass, making it a whole different kind of monster.
I mean like Arceus and Keldeo. We weren't really supposed to know about those.
Huh? Where do you get Sylveon?Did anyone notice in the Super Training video that Sylveon was shown to be at Lv.2?
This confirms a couple of things for me.
1. Sylveon MOST LIKELY evolves from Eevee via Happiness while holding an item, so it won't become an Espeon or an Umbreon.
2. Sylveon probably doesn't evolve from a new evolution stone.
3. Sylveon probably doesn't evolve from the time of day.
What do you guys think? It's also nice to know that you can go RIGHT into Super Training your pokes after they hatch.
Speed boost aside we do know these abilities are mega specific and have for a while.
If you can point me to hard evidence which suggests this I will listen, until then I haven't read anything that actually forces Mega evos to have a single ability. We do not know if they can have one or two abilities in their mega formes... Maybe Intimidate becomes Huge Power while Hyper Cutter becomes something else on Mawile... We just do not know.
People will find it if its on the game no matter what. They need to find a way to add them to the game later without their data already being on the cart
The language used implies only one ability. Otherwise they would likely specify "When Mawile mega evolves with Intimidate....." or "Only this event Torchic can mega evolve into Speed Boost Mega Blaizken!"
It may imply it, but it doesn't specifically exclude other things. I'm sure there's been plenty of cases where X pokemon was revealed to have Y ability, but once the game came out we found that it could have ability Z as well. I'm not optimistic that Megas will have access to more than one ability (especially with the new focus on their new, tailor-made abilities), but it could happen. We just don't know.
Maybe he meant any player not himself in particular, also I doubt all or even most fully evolved Pokemon. It SEEMS to me that Mega Evolution is reserved for a few (relatively) select Pokemon. I could be wrong and if I am, well this is relevant:
Id like it if they actually used the events in the cart. Arceus in particular had a cool little lead up but nobody really saw it.
We will not be able to check their existence from data before people crack 3DS. That could be years.
Sorry what was more of a comment towards the "everyone" part. If you aren't running Baton Pass, which I doubt everyone would be, then odds are it will be outclassed.
I assume MegaEvos are locked into their own abilities. MegaAmpharos gets Mold Breaker, therefore upon mega-evolving whatever Ampharos' ability was gets replaced with Mold Breaker. They way it has been presented, I'm not sure why you would think otherwise. They've never specified that X ability on Mawile becomes Y on MegaMawile, wile A ability turns into B. It is possible I guess, but they haven't said anything that makes me infer otherwise.
Check the comparisons for Absol, Mawile and Lucario and their Mega Evolutions on the official site.
From the way these have been presented, it seems like Megas will go ahead and evolve and remain that way until the end of the match. It says they revert back at the end of the battle so I feel like that's evidence enough that they stay in Mega Form from the point you activate the stone until the very end, including switching.
Whilst this is true and I am not arguing that, it never mentions any Dream World Abilities. Infact, I think the fact they ignore Blaze is purely for this reason. My argument was about the DW abilities, nothing more than that (Mawile was a bad example in terms of having 3 rather than 2 abilities). The very fact that they have not put down any ability for Blaziken kinda confirms that to me. Maybe Megas will KEEP their DW abilities, in which case, Ampharos/Mawile are shafted whilst others get even larger boosts like Mega Venu and Mega Blaze.
Mawile would have been a fine example if you hadn't mentioned both of its normal abilities instead of a normal ability and its hidden ability. You did, though, so I offered proof that wasn't happening.
Have leaks started coming out?
Someone posted scans that were clearly fake.
I love fake scans. ;-;
me too. It's all we have until the real thing.
