Mega Steelix

Mega Glalie

Mega Steelix is Steel/Ground and has the ability Sand Force.
Mega Glalie is pure Ice and has the ability Refrigerate.

 

[Puruzi]

Neat

 

[Camjo-Z]

mega glalie is fucking terrifying

 

[Cloud Strife]

Just do the whole damn Pokedex GF, seriously.

WHERE IS FLYGON?!

 

[Metroidvania]

Damn, we're getting a lot of megas.

Hyped for Glalie, if and only if it raises the chance of getting Mega-Froslass.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Seeing as Steelix is like a top 5 pokemon for me I feel I should be more excited by this, instead I find myself kinda indifferent right now.
Maybe I need to see this design in motion.

Nice beard Glalie is rocking there.

 

[SerTapTap]

That mega steelix looks pretty Steel/Fairy to me with those crystals

Glalie is now Gengar.

Someone needs to make the famous "YOU GET A CAR" Oprah moment into "YOU GET A MEGA AND YOU GET A MEGA"

 

[Aostia]

I agree..!

 

[v0yce]

For someone who hasn't played a Pokemon game since Red, can someone give a quick run down on mega pokemon?

 

[Floridian]

Mega Glalie confirms all Elite four members having a mega. They both look rad.

They're really going to need to change how Megas work if this keeps up. 1 per team and 90% of the stones being post game (at least in XY) means most of these are basically nonexistent in normal play.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Glalie apparently can be dumber looking....go figure.

I actually really like Mega Steelix.

 

[Exterminieren]

I'm pretty sure that every fully-evolved Pokémon getting a Mega is the endgame by this point.

Buried away in a thread concerned with another topic. New thread for new news.

 

[SliceSabre]

Mega Glalie opening its mouth is the best thing.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Steelix: Awesome

Glalie: Derp

Basically.

Kinda glad I got out of Pokemon when I did. Megas are just (IMO) crazy stupid and lazy design.

Then again I think they should've stopped designing new Pokemon a gen or two back and just refined the game mechanics.

 

[KidB]

Can we also have one for the superior Snorunt evolution?

 

[MicH]

HOLY SHIT YES!

Both of these desperately needed a mega!! Awesome!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So the Lunatone/Solrock rumour wasn't real then? Eh this is much better.

I was thinking Steel/Psychic.

 

[The Technomancer]

Mega Glalie

No details on typing or ability yet.

What the fuck

 

[Fandangox]

mega glalie is fucking terrifying

Yeah I was slowly scrolling down, and was like "this looks similar to the origi- OH MY GOD"

You should've put a ring on it AKA put it in the title.

Mega Pokemon are like SUPER EVOLUTIONS and are interesting because you can further enhance fully evolved Pokemon. Their stats can go up, and they can get new abilities. They are not always definitively better than their non-mega counterpart, it depends on how you want to use them. You can only use one Mega Pokemon per battle, so no you can't just have an entire team of Mega Pokemon (well you could, but only one could transform each battle). They give a needed boost to some forgotten Pokemon or allow popular Pokemon to be used in different ways.

 

[SliceSabre]

Onyx (rock) > Steelix (Steel) > Mega Steelix (Steel/Diamond?)

So basically their bodies are made of harder material each time they evolve.

 

[sixteen-bit]

These pokes look hard as fuck

 

[ryan13ts]

Holy crap, Mega Steelix looks amazing. He was already one of my top 3 favorite Pokemon ever and now he's all the more awesome. Has his type been confirmed? Those crystals make me think he's either Steel/Fairy or Steel/Ice, either of which would be awesome.

Mega Glalie on the other hand.... eh. He just looks absolutely horrifying if you ask me. I'll stick to Frosslass thank you.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Glalie gonna be Dark/Ice imo.

Steelix is another matter, fairy? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[SerTapTap]

I was thinking Steel/Psychic.

We have several of those already. Plus crystal=fairy would matche with Diancie/Carbink and (sorta) Xernias.

lol this is true

 

[J-Tier]

Mega Steelix looks over designed, but still badass.

 

[Majukun]

mega steelix and no mega cloyster'

oh come on nintendo!

also..did the "leak" got this two right?

 

[Exterminieren]

also..did the "leak" got this two right?

Nope.

That leak was always garbage, anyway. This just puts the cherry on the cake.

 

[XenodudeX]

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Steelix is dope.

Glalie is nightmare fuel.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Mega Glalie is pokemon's version of Pac Man...after being eaten by the ghosts.

 

[Clefargle]

Oh snap!

 

[Wensih]

It's the Crystal Onix!

 

[Exterminieren]

Meta Steelix has Sand Force, apparently.

 

[Tiamant]

HOLY SHIT YES!

Both of these desperately needed a mega!! Awesome!

Steelix desperately needed a mega? Really?

what about Spinda, Farfetch'd & co?

This mega frenzy is getting out of hand.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Glalie, what the fuck, man?

 

[MicH]

Steelix desperately needed a mega? Really?

Yes, Steelix definitely needed a mega. He is barely used, so this will probably benefit him greatly.

 

[Majukun]

do ALL the mega evo have different abilities than the "normal" version?

 

[UnluckyKate]

Steelix didn't need a mega and look arguably less agressive and more fairy type hahah still neat

 

[SuperDowns]

Is Ruby/Sapphire going to have the same amount of Megas as X&Y?

 

[Tiamant]

Yes, Steelix definitely needed a mega. He is barely used, so this will probably benefit him greatly.

Of course everyone needs a mega if GF continues with this absurd race for ubers, but Steelix was fine as it was.

 

[KittenMaster]

All it takes is a look at Steelix' stat spread to see why he needs an upgrade. That, and he's a classic Pokemon that could use some dusting off.

 

[dakkumauji]

Kinda interested in seeing what Gamefreak does with Mega Glalie. Pretty much almost anything with make it slightly better and Gamefreak can do something interesting with it.

Oh who am I kidding, they'll probably give him a typing to give him x4 weakness to fighting and make it slow enough that anything will one-shot him.

 

[Exterminieren]

Steelix is Steel/Ground again.
