[SPOILERS] X and Y pre-release Leaks and Rumours thread

Serebii has revealed a few new things.
New kind of battle called Inverse Battle, where the type matchups are reversed (sounds confusing as hell)

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist don't just have small and large forms, they have Small, Average, Large and SUPER size forms. Awesome.

Pokeradar is back, yay shinies.

Inverse Battle: Where Normal type can't hit Ghost and Ghost type can't...wait...

since dragon's are just going to fall off the face of the planet

>anyone believing this

I don't even play Pokemon that way and I know that can't be farther from the truth.

...In ubers they will, considering outrage would be just a trap for a fairy to walk into, which leaves draco meteor, with a high miss rate and a halving special attack.

I was discussing this with some other people, but it is likely that outrage will just end if you switch in a fairy type, since it interrupts the attack. Of course we won't know unless someone tries it. Otherwise I would agree that outrage would become useless, it would give a fairy time to easily perform 1-2 set up moves and then destroy your dragon. I'm not sure how the types will stack up perfectly, but Dialga and Giratina should still be decent walls.

I disagree, plenty of dragons wont be leaving ubers regardless of fairies. Rayquaza wont leave ubers for example with its pineappleing insane stats and amazingly good ability, for example.
And you have dragons like giratina who are primarily used as walls, who even if their dragon type moves wont work will still be able to wall fairies to a degree. But we'll have to see how it plays out, can't really judge too much until we know about move-pools and how moves were altered/changed and so on.
Stealth rocks being nerfed would for example change a LOT.

Hehe Enjoy your games guy~ I know you've been waiting for too long.

Still would like to know if there's post game stuff to do. It would be sad if there isn't anything like some people said. [sorry if it was said before the thread sorta blew up so quickly xD]

The worse a fairy will have to face is neutral damage, while getting a free non damage switch in, they aren't going to drop dragon's from uber, that's a ridiculous way to interpret what I said. What will happen is people will stop using them, the uber metagame will most likely be overran with fairies instead of dragons.

Will I be able to get a krabby within the game without trading older gens? If anyone happens to have seen info about it yet or not.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but no. It's not in any of the 3 dex's. It might be available in the post game though, or through the Friend Safari (in which it will also have it's hidden ability)

Thanks for the info, I just wanted a krabby for some random reason, maybe for old times sake.

How hard is it to get absol megastone or w/e it's called?

I loved absol, even if people kept bashing it for being "sub-par" in some standards. I just want an absol on my team, and it having a mega evolution and apparently magic bounce as it's ability now makes it sexy =D

[COLOR="#0000FF"]I want to find the megastone too, but it will of kill my critical hit absol with super luck and scope lens.

Guess I'll give it a different moveset then.

Even made a mega absol sig cause so HYPE[/COLOR]

 More Megas!

Mega Aggron, Salamance, Galvantula, and Tyranitar confirmed! Tyranitarnite is in X and Aggronite is in Y.

Does Mega Aggron have a drill tail?

So do Aggron and Tyrranitar keep their old typings? Would be nice if Aggron would go into pure steel and lose the rock-typing, or get a better typing to complement steel than rock.

Does Mega Aggron have a drill tail?

Mega Tyranitar has Sand Stream
Mega Aggron has Filter

Edit: Mega Aggron becomes pure Steel type.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Hoooooly shiiiiiiit, mega aggron.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

It looks like it'll just spin into a drill and make a giant donut hole in your chest

I hope they release a high res art soon, wanna make a mega aggron sig. ^o^
I always used aggron in emerald, so happy it got a mega evo. Wonder what its ability is... No doubt it'll have extra attack, so automize aggron gg

Mega tyranitar looks sick too. I thought tyranitar looked sick, but its arms were so stubby and it looked incomplete to me. But mega tyranitaaarrrrr

Looks like it has a pupitar in its chest


THE HYPEEEEEEEEEEE[/COLOR]

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist don't just have small and large forms, they have Small, Average, Large and SUPER size forms. Awesome.

As an October-baby I feel inclined to own the biggest Gourgeist possible.....

Edit: Mega Aggron becomes pure Steel type.

That's fucking amazing, Mega Aggron might just become my Mega pokémon for my team.
