New Mega Evolutions

[Richard and Blaziken]

Making a pokemon flinch twice in the same round is a bit redundant? O.o

It's more about two hits with a flinch, rather than one. This turns Kangaskhan into a very good revenge killer, not only having priority in Double Fake Out, but Double Sucker Punch as well.

Wait, double priority moves?! *Throws table*

[quack98]

I'm a litt.e upset he doesn't learn selfdestruct/explosion...

[NTN]

Double Hit turns into Quadruple Hit, which is pretty useless considering that the repeat is weaker than the first already is by base power. It's a shame Kangaskhan doesn't learn Fury Swipes and/or Pin Missile. If only Triple Kick could be more than Hitmontop's Signature Move... If Kangaskhan could learn it, its Mega Form may use it well. =)

I'm just GUESSING that multi-hit moves don't double up either, but I wouldn't say no to "Quadruple Hit". Wasn't obvious in my last post, but I'd totally use MegaKangaskhan, pretty hyped.

[quack98]

Kangashkhan has comet punch, potential 10 hits there.

[Richard and Blaziken]

I can still see Double-Edge or Return bring the way to go with STAB attacks, as even if multi-hit moves happen twice, you're taking too much of a gamble when Return or Double-Edge will almost certainly do more. Fake Out and Sucker Punch are the main things I can see Kangaskhan getting more use out of. Parental Bond now removes Scrappy, and with it, the ability to reliably smash through Ghosts, especially defensive ones like Jellicent that can just Will-o-Wisp you without risk of Sucker Punch. While Kangaskhan has access to Crunch, it already almost needs to run Fake Out and Sucker Punch to give it a niche in the metagame, plus a STAB, and a way to hit Steel types through Hammer Arm or something.

Crunch could be used over Sucker Punch, but I think (in higher tiers at least), it would be more detrimental to it than helpful, as double priority two turns in a row could be enough to put down a lot of setup sweepers. Should be interesting to see what becomes of Kangaskhan from here on, but in my speculation, it'll remain in lower tiers, only due to the fact that you can only use one Mega per team, but it should pop up in nearly every tier it's allowed in as a sort of anti-metagame Pokemon.

I think the child getting a turn, as the second hit is weaker, I believe.

So the child has the same moves as its mother, not its own moveset? XD

[quack98]

I believe so, I think it has to use the same move as well, but I don't know this for certain. (Can anyone confirm?)

[MonsterMon64]

Man check out the announcer's awesome voice in this new trailer.Oh, and that sick guitar.
Also forgot to mention this earlier when I saw the trailer of just the first three, but wow, are all the older Pokemon's cries getting redone? Or is that just a new cry for MegaMewtwo? Either way, it's a pretty cool cry.

[Alpha Fenrir]

ABSOL!!!
Whilst I'm still in two minds about this mega evolution business, at least ABSOL is getting an attack increase and, more importantly, speed increase out of it. Oh, and MegaAbsol's design is pretty cool too.
I quite like most of the new mega-evolutions, with the exceptions of MegaMewtwo (which is going to be hideously powerful) and MegaKangaskhan (which looks somewhat plain).
Intrigued about how much the stats will be boosted for each of these Pokémon. If Absol's base speed is raised to 100 or more and it's base attack is raised to about 150, it's going to become massively powerful.
Officially hyped for these games now!

The trademarks leaked the mega evolutions;

Charizard, Blastoise, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Jynx, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, Ampharos, Scizor, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Heracross, Gardevoir, Absol, Medicham, Banette, Latias, Latios, Aggron, Abomasnow

Dunno how official this is.  Siced for Tyranitar though!

[Richard and Blaziken]

Odd that Blaziken isn't mentioned on the list when the others that've been revealed are. If it's true, I'm still pretty excited to see them. Fire/Dragon for Charizard is almost guaranteed and maybe Water/Dragon Gyarados. Aside from that, though, I'm interested to see what happens with the rest of them.

[Lord Raven]

Yeah this list is suspect to me.  It's possible the Blaziken trademark was already bought or something.  Venusaur also doesn't have one.  I'll find the article if you remind me tomorrow

I'm not surprised Heracross and Pinsir got new Mega Evolutions. Thank you for the update.
