Pok\u00e9mon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realised in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pok\u00e9mon a dominant advantage. Mega Evolutions will revolutionise Pok\u00e9mon battles and usher in a new Pok\u00e9mon transformation never-before-seen in the Pok\u00e9mon world.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Pok\u00e9mon like <strong>Mega Mewtwo<\/strong> and <strong>Mega Lucario<\/strong> will harness the power of Mega Evolution in battle and will see their looks change and stats increase, giving Trainers a great advantage against their opponents. Some Pok\u00e9mon that Mega Evolve may even change their Ability or type while in battle. Only certain Pok\u00e9mon, under certain conditions, can Mega Evolve, and unlike regular Evolution, Mega Evolution only occurs during battle\u2014once the battle ends, the Mega-Evolved Pok\u00e9mon will return to its usual state. One crucial element to undergoing Mega Evolution is a particular kind of item called a <strong>Mega Stone<\/strong>. Mega Stones are special stones that exist for all Pok\u00e9mon that can Mega Evolve, each named after the Pok\u00e9mon to which it grants power. For instance, the <strong>Lucarionite<\/strong> Mega Stone will help Lucario Mega Evolve. Mega Stones are hidden throughout the Kalos region, and players must find them to unlock the incredible power of Mega Evolution.<\/p>\n<p>One Mega Stone, <strong>Blazikenite<\/strong>, will not be found during normal gameplay in <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> or <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>. Players of the new titles will need to participate in a special limited-time Wi-Fi distribution event via Nintendo Network to get a Torchic holding a Blazikenite Mega Stone. This is how players can receive the Blazikenite Mega Stone when the new titles launch. The character distribution begins October 12<sup>th<\/sup>, the same day <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> launches worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, and this distribution event will only last for a short period of time. Players will need to evolve the Torchic they receive via the distribution into Combusken and finally into Blaziken in order to harness the power of this Mega Stone and Mega Evolve Blaziken into <strong>Mega Blaziken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Torchic received in this distribution also has the Hidden Ability <strong>Speed Boost<\/strong>, a very powerful Ability that increases a Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s Speed at the end of every turn. This limited-time character distribution event allows players to get a Torchic with Speed Boost, which becomes incredibly effective once they Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brand-New Method of Pok\u00e9mon Training: Super Training!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Training<\/strong> or <strong>S.T. <\/strong> is being introduced in <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>, allowing players to help their Pok\u00e9mon grow stronger when they\u2019re not in battle. On the Touch Screen of the Nintendo 3DS system, players can have their Pok\u00e9mon participate in <strong>Super Training<\/strong>, activities that will increase a Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s base stats, the underlying values that define its HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.<\/p>\n<p>One Super Training activity involves having Pok\u00e9mon train by facing huge Pok\u00e9mon-shaped Balloon Bots in a virtual space, with both sides trying to shoot balls into the opponent\u2019s goal. Using the Circle Pad and Touch Screen to avoid shots from the Balloon Bots while landing their own in the goal, players will enjoy this action-packed feature while increasing their Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s base stats to help them become stronger for battle.<\/p>\n<p>For a more casual way to help Pok\u00e9mon strengthen their base stats, <strong>Core Training<\/strong> lets players set up training bags, earned by completing Super-Training Regimens, for Pok\u00e9mon in their party to use. Pok\u00e9mon will work on Core Training by themselves, raising their stats on their own. By tapping on the Touch Screen during a Core Training session, players can help their Pok\u00e9mon increase their base stats, too. Players will be able to see how their Pok\u00e9mon are doing at their Core Training at any time from the main Super Training screen.<\/p>\n<p>More never-before-seen Pok\u00e9mon that players will encounter in the Kalos region have been announced this morning by The Pok\u00e9mon Company International.

It can also plug its tail into outlets to drain electricity from them. Its Ability, <strong>Cheek Pouch<\/strong>, is new to <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>. If a Pok\u00e9mon with this Ability eats a Berry during battle, it will not only reap the benefit from the Berry, but the Pok\u00e9mon will also be able to regain HP. Dedenne can learn the new Electric-type move <strong>Nuzzle<\/strong>, which looks cute as the user nuzzles up to a target with its cheeks fully charged, but it\u2019s quite dangerous! Nuzzle will do damage while paralyzing the opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Bunnelby<\/strong> is a new Normal-type Pok\u00e9mon that creates its den by digging in the ground with its large, shovel-shaped ears. These powerful ears are strong enough to chop right through thick tree roots, making them a force to be reckoned with in battle. Bunnelby can learn the Ground-type move <strong>Dig<\/strong>. On the first turn, the user burrows underground, and on the second turn, it attacks! In Double Battles, a Pok\u00e9mon can use Dig to avoid its ally\u2019s attack and then dish out damage on the next turn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is now known that <strong>Skiddo<\/strong> evolves into the already announced Gogoat. A Grass-type Pok\u00e9mon, Skiddo has a gentle nature and is said to be the first Pok\u00e9mon to live alongside humans. Because of this relationship, Skiddo doesn\u2019t mind carrying people or supplies on its back, and it has become able to read the feelings of its riders through their grip on its horns. Skiddo can learn the Grass-type move <strong>Leaf Blade<\/strong>, where the user wields a sharp leaf to slice like a sword.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introducing Gym Leader Korrina<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Korrina <\/strong> is the Gym Leader in <strong>Shalour City<\/strong>, a seaside town known for its amazing views. It\u2019s also home to the <strong>Tower of Mastery<\/strong>, which seems to have a connection to Mega Evolution. Gym Leader Korrina seeks to draw out her Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s strength to reach still greater heights, and it\u2019s said that she may hold the key to Mega Evolution! In addition to being a Gym Leader, Korrina is a fantastic roller skater.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> \u00a0for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, including new images and gameplay video featuring information announced today, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pokemon.co.uk\/xy\" target=\"_new\">Pokemon.co.uk\/XY<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pokemon.co.uk\/\" target=\"_new\">Pokemon.co.uk<\/a>, <em>Like<\/em> the official Pok\u00e9mon Facebook page at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Pokemon\" target=\"_new\">Facebook.com\/Pokemon<\/a>, and follow Pok\u00e9mon on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pokemon\" target=\"_new\">@Pokemon<\/a> to ensure you\u2019re receiving the latest <em>Pok\u00e9mon X <\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> news!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To download accompanying video and art assets, please click the following link: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pokemon.gamespress.com\/releases\/1302\/mega-evolution-will-transform-pokmon-and-revolutionise-battles-in-pokm?region=United%20Kingdom&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_new\">pokemon.gamespress.com\/releases\/1302\/mega-evolution-will-transform-pokmon-and-revolutionise-battles-in-pokm?region=United Kingdom&amp;lang=en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, Mega Evolution is a new, awe-inspiring transformation certain Pok\u00e9mon can undergo during battle in the highly anticipated Pok\u00e9mon X and Pok\u00e9mon Y video games.
