Nintendo shared the latest information on Pokemon X and Y , including evolutions for starter Pokemon Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie, a new Mega Evolution for Mewtwo and a first for Garchomp, five new Pokemon, new characters, the ability to outfit your character, and more.
Find the lot of information below.
Starter Evolutions
- Quilladin - When Chespin evolves into Quilladin, the hard spikes on its body grow even sturdier. Despite its prickly appearance, Quilladin is considered a gentle Pokémon that avoids battle. Quilladin uses its hardy shell to repel attacks and strike back with its pointed spines. Quilladin can learn Mud Shot, which does damage and lowers the target’s Speed. This Ground-type move is super effective against Fire-type Pokémon! Mud Shot is great for the Grass-type Quilladin, who is vulnerable to Fire-type attacks.
- Braixen - Once Fennekin evolves into Braixen, it no longer eats branches. But it still keeps a tree branch in its tail, which seems to calm the Pokémon. Braixen will occasionally wield the branch in battle and use friction to light it on fire. The Psychic-type move Psyshock is a special move, but it deals damage based on its target’s Defense, as if it were a physical move. Have Braixen use this move to attack opponents with high Special Defense!
- Frogadier - Frogadier evolves from Froakie, and when it does, its jumping skill improves. During battle, Frogadier confounds its opponents by leaping about the ceiling or into trees. Frogadier attacks by launching small stones wrapped in bubbles at its opponents. Frogadier can learn Bounce, a Flying-type attack that’s super effective against Grass-type Pokémon. Since Frogadier is weak to Grass-type attacks, Bounce is a good way for it to fight back!
There are many things that make Mewtwo a special Pokémon, including its ability to Mega Evolve in two different ways. Use Mewtwonite X to evolve Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X, and Mewtwonite Y to evolve the Pokémon into Mega Mewtwo Y.
- Mega Mewtwo X - Yet another secret lurks within Mewtwo! The Genetic Pokémon doesn’t have just one Mega-Evolved form—it has two! Meet Mega Mewtwo X, an even larger Pokémon than Mega Mewtwo Y, with muscles bulging from its arms and legs. To evolve Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X, you’ll need the Mewtwonite X Mega Stone. Mega Mewtwo X gains the Fighting type, and its Attack stat shows formidable growth. Mega Mewtwo X will be able to attack with powerful moves, both special and physical. Make the most of Mega Mewtwo X’s high Attack with the extremely powerful Giga Impact move!
Another Mega Pokemon was also revealed.
- Mega Garchomp - When Garchomp becomes Mega Garchomp, the increased energy flows into the Pokémon’s arms, turning them into huge blades! Mega Garchomp’s Attack and Special Attack both improve greatly, while its Speed goes down a little. When Garchomp Mega Evolves, it becomes a Pokémon whose every blow you can count on! Get plenty of power out of the Dragon-type move Dragon Claw, which benefits from Mega Garchomp’s type and its high Attack stat.
Furfrou - The stylish Pokémon Furfrou can have its appearance changed by grooming. There are number of different appearances it can take, and the more you groom it, the more styles may become available! If you leave Furfrou’s style untended for a few days, its fur will grow long and shaggy again, returning to its original look. Keep a regular grooming schedule to maintain Furfrou’s style! Furfrou’s Fur Coat Ability, which debuts in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, halves the damage taken from physical attacks. Furfrou can learn Baby-Doll Eyes, a Fairy-type move new to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. With Baby-Doll Eyes, the user goes first regardless of Speed. The move can lower the target’s Attack stat.
