20 Facts about Mega Evolution 

Knowing GameFreak, they’re probably gonna give Charizard not just a Mega Z form, but also probably a Mega A form too.

10:47 Fun Fact: Delibird's base stat total of 330 is so comically awful that even if it received the 100 points boost of a Mega, it would still be 5 points lower than Tangela's 435 total. Luvdisc also shares this dishonor, as it has the same stat total as Delibird.

Nobody: Aura Guardian: Mega Revolve

Pokémon fans waiting for Flygon to get a mega just for Gamefreak to announce they are giving Charizard another mega evolution

One of the reasons I love mega Pinsir is because of how happy he is gaining wings. His pokemon entry say he never touches the ground lol.

You just got to love how literally *everyone* wants a Mega Flygon. Like its by far the most agreed upon mega thats asked for lol

Fun Fact: Mega Sableye is the only Pokemon that can have 2 abilities in a single turn. If a Prankster Sableye use a status move the turn it Mega Evolves, Prankster will give it +1 priority, then Magic Bounce will redirect status moves from the opponent.

4:23 the reason those 10 points matter so much is cause garchomp goes from being faster than base 100 speed mons barely to now being outsped, this flips so many matchups that it would usually easily win to now be losing. if you made a 111 speed mon lose 10 speed points it won't matter as much but a base 102 pokemon going below the base 100 line is devastating. Honestly idk why they gave it more SpA and reduced speed. Mega chomp makes no sense

"When it comes to Evolution, we are the Revolution" - Mega Charizard Z to Mega Mewtwo Z

Aerilate is also exclusive to mega evolution. Mega Pinsir and Mega Salamence are the only 2 pokémon with it. No non-mega pokémon has it.

So excited for mega Charizard Z

11 years since XY?! Well, I feel old now

I’ve never used Mega Evolution before! I can’t wait to use Mega Evolution in Pokèmon Legends: Z-A! 😁

06:55 the dex entry is from scientist that force them mega evolve. Also the fact it hurt or make them lose control is what make "the bond" important to overcome it. Mega evolution is said to be the ultimate power, so of course they need to sacrifice something to reach it.. In many media when someone need to reach their ultimate power there is pain and sacrifice before overcome it, for example Naruto when he learn the ultimate Rasen Shuriken it said that the technique hurting his hand and can make him unable to use his hand again.. But with "bond" or "love" or the determination to protect he able to overcome and perfect the ultimate jutsu.. Thats why the pokemon willing to feel the pain at first because they trust their trainer.. Gyarados will lose control and angry but with the bond the trainer will calm the pokemon and use the power they have..

10:44 if it’s not 100% percent accurate it’s 50% accurate

I think (mainly kantonian) Raichu is very deserving for a mega. Would be a great way to officially introduce the Gorochu design to the world.

10:15 No, Meganium had existed.

10:45 I fear no man, but that thing "0.01%" It scares me.

I hope that if Mega Flygon becomes a thing, it gains a lot of speed to give it a niche over Garchomp. With so few fast Ground types, it'd be awesome to see one fast enough to be used over Garchomp or Landorus in some cases.

Dragonite’s probably getting a mega evolution. We’re finally gonna get a dragoniteite mega stone

If flygon gets ignored again, we riot!

Something I don't think a lot of people have considered: the new Pokemon and forms introduced in Legends Arceus were also added to Scarlet and Violet so people could use them in a more "traditional" Pokemon game, including in online battles. Seeing as we're probably getting new Megas in Z-A, there's at least a 90% chance that Megas will return in Gen 10 as well... meaning Mega Kangaskhan and Rayquaza will be able to terrorize the meta once again.

On 12: Those descriptions are meant to demonize the gimmick because of the following reasons. Watsonian: Alolan people don't like that gimmick. Doylist: *_Game freak wanted to remove it._*

i hope newer pokémon (like after gen 6) get megas as well as older ones!!

you forgot "Aerilate" on number 10

A data mine of Pokemon HOME also revealed that Jynx had a potential cut mega, that even got as far into development as having an audio file for its cry.

Wow, that was definitely 20 cool and awesome facts about the Pokemon mechanic Mega Evolution!

Mega mewtwo Z about to absolutely change the game

5:24 Aerilate is also a Mega Evolution exclusive ability for both Mega Pinsir and Mega Salamence

WHOOOO AURA UPLOADED WHOOOO

I feel like at home when I watch your videos idk why but RU-vid has becoming something different but your videos are just peaceful

10:30 don't forget Mega-Nium, the gen 2 starter Pokémon

You mentioned almost every mega in this video but my goodest boy mega ttar got no screen time 😔

I'm looking forward to new Mega Evolutions

Garchomp's not the only less than favorable Mega. Mewtwo (specifically Y) and Blaziken (granted, Blaziken would need to be Hidden Ability) both get more mileage out of using a Life Orb rather than burning the mega slot on your team. At least with the speed mechanics of Gen 6, if Sand is already up, Mega Garchomp gets a turn of being an absolute menace... Right?

Praying for mega Scolipede This guy deserves more love

Aerilate is another ability that is exclusive to Mega Evolution.

A mega Lucario statue? Oh heck yeah!

One fact you could say is that some megas did not keep the shiny change of their original forms when the mega's original colours were the same. Most notably gengar becoming white, garchomp becoming pink, blaziken becoming less saturated, and if you wanna count them, primal groudon and kyogre becoming black.

1. It can LITERALLY KILL THE PIKEMON

Great vid, just wanted to say Aerialate is also a Mega-exclusive ability

Thanks for the info Alex

I can only imagine the fans reaction if Flygon doesn’t get a Mega Evolution.

6:40 these dex entries where written as Gamefreak were working on SWSH which will let not have mega evolution so they were written to make the fans accept the mega evolution cut

It’s been 10-11 years after XY came out in late 2013 It’s been 3 generations (we’re in the middle of Gen 9 now) Mega Evolutions haven’t returned since Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee which is 5-6 years ago in late 2018

@7:13 That seemed to be the reason but eventually they could calculate it with Complete Zygarde and the Dynamax Pokemon, so it's possible some new Megas change their HP.

My favorite part of Mega Evolution is the fact that so many Pokemon change types

Mega Kommo-o with Dragon wings and some samuraï stuff would be very interesting and a Mega Dragapult with it's original appearance will be something

Um, Aerialate is also only exclusive to Mega Evolved Pokémon (Pinsir and Salamence respectively), so it's not just Parental Bond and Delta Stream

i always though of mega evolution as a dragon ball-like transformation so it honestly makes a lot of sense that it's very taxing on the pokemon. it also makes sense that only a pokemon that cares deeply about its trainer would push itself to that limit

I want a Mega Charizard Z just so majority of the fan base will be pissed off and I also want a Mega Malamar😁

Aahh, saved the best for last!! I knew you were gonna mention Mega Flygon in there somewhere!! Hopefully they don't give that to Charizard instead!! lmao

I just hope with Megas back there’s a way of powering up non megas. That’s why I like terastals it allows all Pokemon use the gimmick

Id love to see Sinnoh starters getting mega forms

Flygon is one of my faves, hopefully it does get a mega in ZA

technically Mewtwo was the first Pokemon to mega evolve in the anime in general but Blaziken was the first one in the actual show to mega evolve.

Pokemon Go also uses Meteorites although not in the same way as shuffle, in GO a meteorite is needed to make Rayquaza learn Dragons Ascent which is what allows it to mega evolve

We need a Mega Masquerain. To make the Pomémon stronger and to give it back the Bug/Water typing. Change My Mind.

8:47 This doesn't just apply to Megas, this is just how Gen 6 decides turn order. In Gen 6, turn order is decided at the beginning of the turns. If you're in doubles and do a Prankster Tailwind so your second Pokemon will be able to outspeed the others, it won't go first unless it was originally fast enough to do so. The speed comes into effect next turn.

If Flygon gets a Mega Evolution and it ends up being better than Garchomp’s, it’s just going to rub salt on the latter’s wounds.

All I know is that Mega Audino is great, I hope it gets a new ability when Megas return

Hopefully this means we now have a rotation of “gimmicks” is in order so we are gonna get megas then z crystals then giganta then teras

I had a mega latios in pokemon Y cause I had a friend of mine trade me a magikarp holding a latiosite since he had an action replay, never felt so special in my life

If Flygon doesn’t get a mega, there will be riots in the streets.

roaring moon was foreshadowing pokemon ZA because its design is based off of mega salamence, and megas are coming back.

5:24 There's another ability exclusive tu mega evolution, being Mega-Pinsir's and Mega-Salamence's aerilate

no views 6 comments youtube is such a high quality platform

I reallt hope we get megas for the Kalos starters, or ar least SOME Kalos Pokemon. Its so weird that only one Kalos Pokémon was given mega Evolution

weird you didnt mention that mega pinsirs dex entry is about him being so happy that he got wings

I think what might be cool is instead of giving the Kalos Starters a mega form they each get the ability Battle Bond, the story potential for that could be pretty cool imo, I of course want new mega Pokémon though

Whats even crazier about fact 16, is if you somehow got an imposter pokemon and it transformed into a different pokemon whilst the imposter one can mega, it will mega into its previous state. Example being imposter kangashkan going into doduo will mega back into mega kang.

5:27 there’s also Aerilate but both mega Pinsir and Salamence so if you said only one mon than it would make sense

DRINKING GAME: take a chug of your cocktail everytime he says "MegaREvolving" or "MegaREvolution"

I would pronounce it Pokemon Legends Azett. Makes sense if we take into account that it is Kalos and we have the trainer Azett and his Floette (which I hope is available).

Out of all the megas, who are you most excited for? For me its mega Scizor

i think the only reason that GF made up the “mega evolution makes pokemon go through pain” was to make us feel better about losing megas (because it’s dumb that a strong bond between a pokemon and a trainer could cause the pokemon so much pain)

Why would Mega Rayquaza be weak againt flying types? It's a flying type itself and dragon isn't weak to flying wither? Or was it a fighting type or something back in gen 6?

3:12 I remeber back in ultra moon, I Thought about it and gave my rayquaza a z-crytsal, expecting to mega first and then z-move, not the reverse.

I think new legendery will be coming y has one same with x and z so A might be the main legendery with Zygard

I think that your editing has improved quite a bit in this video. It was still good before, but I think that it looks smoother here.

Seeing your content after years is kind of shocking, not much has changed from what I remember

Kinda want a mega aegislash

Ofc mega Slowbro stole everyone's heart including mine

Pretty sure aerilate is also a mega exclusive ability, having only ever been given to mega salamence and mega pinsir

I like how there is a change in the background

For fact 10: technically aerialate is also a mega exclusive ability, as the only Pokemon that get it are mega pinsir and mega salamence

He changed the thumbnail!

I wonder if mega flygon will keep the ground/dragon typing. Then we will have 3 megas with the same typing. Mega Garchomp, mega Zygarde, and mega Flygon.

i call it Legends Zed too A, like reversing something opposite of saying A too Zed.and you should be expecting this from me, MEGA MIMIKYU

I've always hated the fact that Gamefreak made those dex entries demonizing Mega Evolution after the whole spiel being that a pokemon needs a strong bond with it's trainer to mega. They knew they were going to get rid of it and decided to try and make it as unappealing as possible. Feels scummy to be honest to do something like that.

8:15 Pachirisu chilling in a Draco Meteor attack

10:10 I can't wait for zygarde 100% to just be able to be used without power contruct and learning recover.

I’m ready for Mega Flygon 😂

Would be interesting if X and Y's legendary is get megas and maybe type of grades X could get fairly/psychic and Y could get dark/poison.

10:21 we also had nium’s mega evolution, meganium

The anime can actually explain the mega evolution pain and why is “horrifying” The anime explains that the reason trainers and Pokémon need a strong bond is exactly the bad side effects, if Pokémon mega evolve without the bond they will get wild and go berserk. Basically the strong bond is what prevents all the bad side effects of mega evolution

Thinking about the most obscure Pokémon to get a mega evolution. Muk 😊

aerilate is still a mega exclusive ability which would literally make so many route 1 birds useful
