The newest edition of CoroCoro Comics magazine has revealed some new Pokémon X and Y-related information.
Two new Mega Evolutions have been revealed: Mega Garchomp and Mega Mewtwo X, have been featured. Mewtwo's newly revealed second Mega Evolution is called Mega Mewtwo X and it is a Fighting/Psychic-type with the Ability Steadfast and higher Attack. Mega Garchomp has the Ability Sand Force.
Furthermore, the Japanese names of the Generation VI starter Pokémon's evolutions have also been unveiled: Chespin evolves to Haribōgu, Fennekin to Tērunā, and Froakie to Gerogashira. Much like the pre-evolved forms, all of them keep their original single types. Haribōgu can learn Mud Shot, and Gerogashira can learn Bounce.
Along with that, some new Abilities have also been revealed:
- Freeze Skin - All Normal-type attacks used by the Pokémon become Ice-type and gain power.
- Strong Chin - Increases the power of biting moves used by the Pokémon such as Crunch.
- Fur Coat - Halves damage from contact moves.
In addition to this, four new Pokémon have been revealed: Torimian, Nyaonikusu (male and female), Chigorasu and Amarusu. Torimian is the Pokémon spotted in the recent Pokémon Direct, is Normal-type, has the Ability Fur Coat, and can have its appearance changed by a game mechanic known as trimming. Chigorasu is Rock/Dragon and has the Ability Strong Chin. Amarusu is Rock/Ice and has the Ability Freeze Skin.
Offensively, Fairy type is strong against Fighting, Dark and Dragon; and not very effective against Steel, Poison and Fire. Defensively, Fairy is weak to Poison and Steel; resists Bug, Fighting and Dark; and is immune to Dragon.
Also, Steel no longer resists Dark- and Ghost-type moves.
Team Flare is lead by five scientists: Kuseroshiki, Momiji, Bara, Korea, and Akebi. They are seeking a "beautiful world".
