And wed bet that the legendaries transformations have something to do with the strange items hurtling at Kyogre and Groudon in the all too brief gameplay clip a few slides back. Perhaps these older forms of the legendaries are how they looked before that terraforming battle. Our guess: As Poke-legend goes, a long ago battle between Kyogre and Groudon helped to form the oceans and the continents, a power the evil Team Magma/Aqua looked to capture in the original Ruby/Sapphire. That may imply these Mega versions will be more powerful and uncontrollable, but how did this happen? According to fan translations, both are devolving from their previous states into more primal, ancient forms. The aforementioned covers for Alpha and Omega clearly show Kyogre and Groudon in new forms, but if a recent leak is to be believed, these arent simple Mega Evolutions. We dont know How the legendaries are suffering from de-evolution? But will any other classic third generation monsters get an upgrade? We think so. Theres also a Mega Diancie, a Rock/Fairy type whose normal version isnt yet available in X & Y.
Now we know via a magazine leak thats accompanied by Mega Sceptile (Grass/Dragon type) and Mega Swampert (Water/Ground type), both of which look awesome. Cover legendaries, Groudon and Kyogre, are technically getting new Mega forms for the remakes (more on that later), and the starter monsters are also getting an upgrade.įans will recall that X & Y had a bonus Mega Evolution for Blaziken, one of Ruby/Sapphires starters, which in retrospect looks like a tease of the Alpha and Omega remakes. After Mega Evolutions became so popular in the first game, it isnt surprising that more are coming in the next release. No longer are Pokemon contained to their third form-instead, they're able to briefly go Super Saiyan and become even more powerful during battle. X & Y introduced a whole new dynamic to the world of Pokemon: Mega Evolutions. They are due out on November 21 for the 3DS.We know there will be more Mega Evolutions They are remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, but they are described as " fresh takes" on the originals. Nintendo announced Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire last month. However, Game Freak is keeping the details of the Ability improvements a secret at this time. Kyogre's Special Attack stat increases, and its special Ability changes, too. Groudon's Attack stat increases, and it becomes a Fire Type pokemon. Through Primal Reversion, Groudon and Kyogre gain even more power and grow significantly larger.
With this announcement, Game Freak also confirmed that the Pokemon on the covers are, indeed, the Primal forms of the two legendaries. And the people called their tormentors Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre." Avoid bringing Rock or Steel-types into these fights, both Pokmon have the means to counter them (excluding Bronzong, as its dual-type and Levitate ability can help. Brimming with the overwhelming power granted to them by nature’s energy, their transformation was named 'Primal Reversion' by later people. Since these two Pokmon are version-exclusive, with Palkia in Omega Ruby and Dialga in Alpha Sapphire you can only get one of them depending on which version you are using. That energy granted Groudon and Kyogre an overwhelming power.
The natural world was overflowing with energy.
