Rumored Pokemon X/Y Leaks. Possible Spoiler Warning!

Pokebeach has posted some new leaks. They are unconfirmed but the site did post a bunch of rumors a few months ago and most of them turned out to be true. This is apparently from a different source though so who knows how true they might be.


Trusk is a Grass/Rock boar Pokemon with long green tusks coming out of its mouth. He is gruff, has grey skin, and features green leaf-like ears. It has an “adorable” pre-evolution with tiny tusks and a leaf at the end of its tail.

A Normal/Poison porcupine Pokemon named Quillom can be found quite early in the game in the forest. It has white skin with light purple quills. He has a Poison-type quill attack which damages and has a high chance of poison.

A Ghost-type spider Pokemon is found in caves. It is dark gray with blue spots and multiple light grey eyes. It has a feint light blue mist around its abdomen. The source doesn’t remember the spelling of its name, but says it was something like “Apparachnid.” He thinks it may have an evolution.

There is a Ground-type badger Pokemon that is dark brown with black stripes going up its face. It knows Slash and a new biting move.

Reconfirmation that Froakie’s final evolution is Water/Fighting. It looks similar to a poison dart frog. The dark blue now takes over its body almost entirely. There are a few even darker (almost black) spots on his sides and face and it gains more of the bubble foam around its neck and down the back. It’s also a bit bulkier. It uses its hind legs a lot and has kicking attacks.

Bunnelby evolves into a Ground/Dark type rabbit that is larger and much rounder. Its color scheme is reversed, with the dark brown now being the prominent color. It can be found in caves. It is useful because you can get it early in the game and use it to evolve Pancham into Pangoro.

Helioptile has an evolution. It is bipedal with a second yellow triangle on its face. Its ears become more jagged and it looks meaner. On its back are what look like spikes with jagged parts at the very top. It can learn a new attack called Thunder Roll, where it rolls up like a wheel and strikes the opponent.

Reconfirmation that Meowstic has a pre-evolution named Espurr. There is no gender differentiation until it evolves. It is mostly white, similar to the female version, with cuter eyes and a single puffy tail. It has a little patch of fur under its head (similar to its evolutions). The fur is dark blueish with little tufts of white in it.

Other Pokemon that are now Fairy-type: the Chansey evolution line, Dunsparce, the Clefairy line, and Togepi’s line.

Fairy Dust is a new move that will randomly cause either Paralysis, Poison, Sleep, or Burn.

Like Magneton, Wailmer is part of one of the Super Training Facility games.

Team Flare makes an appearance right at the beginning of the game. On the TV in your house, one of its members talks about fashion and how your Pokemon should match your style. Team Flare’s signature music has an eerie accordion sound to it in the opening sequence.

The outfit your character wears at the start is colored to match what you’ve set as your favorite color in your 3DS settings. It can be changed easily though.

The opening cinematic is in 3D. (Have to mention this since most of the game isn’t in stereoscopic 3D. :p) It starts off with Yveltal’s cry, which wakes you up. You sit up in your bed. It then pans and there is a shot of your city. Yveltal’s shadow goes over it. After that there is some other shots of your town. You seem amazed that you saw Yveltal. It then shows generic in-game shots like you entering a forest with your friends, selecting your starter, running through a cave, etc. After that it shows Sycamore welcoming you. You are standing outside of his lab at the time, then he takes you inside. It then shows him showing you three Poke Balls which leads into a transformation video where it shows all three Kanto starters evolving to their final forms, and then the three of them Mega Evolving. It’s a really cool cinematic. The video ends with Yveltal flying with the sun behind him, leading in to the title screen. Team Flare is also shown at some point in the sequence.

On the title screen you can use the analog joystick on your 3DS to change the angle at which you see Xerneas/Yveltal.

As an added note: let's try to keep discussion of these leaks to this thread and out of other Pokemon threads since there are a lot of people in the Pokemon community who do not wish to be spoiled by pre-release leaks.

What is this about now?

If this gen continues the trend of Bug types with awesome designs, I might be tempted to roll with a few at a time.
 
I love how the pokemon company is so happy about the world wide release at the same time so everyone won't be spoiled.... and then goes on to make sure as much information about the game is spoiled as possible before hand. First or second hand.

If this is real, and this is an employee, they will be fired. They have tightened up since BW was ruined by Melkor.
 
Other PokeBeach rumors

Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it. (WPM Note: Fairy is confirmed, super effectiveness against Dragon is confirmed.)
Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy). (WPM Note: Sylveon being Fairy and old Pokemon being reclassified is confirmed.)
Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
The professor’s English name is Patrice.
The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting. (WPM Note: Two days later [on Monday], the source informed me he had mixed up the secondary types of Chespin and Froakie’s final evolutions. This bullet point reflects the correction.)
The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting. (WPM Note: First Gym being Bug is confirmed.)
A few attacks will be dual-typed. (WPM Note: Many people are interpreting this as an attack shooting out two types at once, but it could just be that the attack switches types under certain conditions or something like that.)
There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in. (WPM Note: Confirmed. He also specifically named them “Sky Battles” but I missed putting that into the original post.)
The goat, Gogoat -> Gogoat. It’s a goat that goes. No need to change the name I guess?
The panda, Yancham -> Panchum. Obviously “punch ‘em,” with the “punch” starting out as “pan” because it’s a panda.
The bird, Yayakoma -> Fletchling. Fletching or fledgling + hatchling?
The “lizard,” Elikiteru -> Helioptile. A heliophile is any organism attracted to sunlight, so that + reptile?
Pancham evolves into Pangoro in the early level 30s. In order to evolve Pancham into Pangoro, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. Pangoro’s type is Fighting/Dark.
A Pokemon named Inkay evolves into Malimar. To evolve it, you have to hold your 3DS upside-down when it levels up (the 3DS has an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can detect that). Malimar’s type is Dark/Psychic.
A Psychic-type Pokemon named Espurr (ESP + purr) evolves into Meowstick (Meow + mystic?). (Sounds like Psychic-type cats. Meowstick’s name sounds too similar to Meowth to me though.)
Like in B/W you have two rivals – one is friendly and the other is competitive. Your rival that is more friendly gives you his/her fully evolved starter Pokemon after you beat the game.
Another professor named Sycamore gives you either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.
Even though it shows the player riding on a Gogoat in the new trailer, players can’t ride on their own Pokemon. What was shown is just an alternate way of getting around Lumiose City and it only works with Gogoat.
HMs still exist but there’s a lot less of them.
Players will be able to see their Pokemon’s EVs (probably through the same in-game facility mentioned in the other post).
A new move, Belch, is a Poison-type attack that has a base power of 120. The user must consume a held Berry to perform it.
Draining Kiss is a Fairy-type attack that heals the user for the same amount of damage performed. It has a base power of 60.
If the previously revealed forme of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly similar to Mewtwo’s original design, the second supposed form of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly/vaguely similar to Mew‘s design.
In case you missed our correction the other day, the Starters’ final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.
A Psychic-type Pokemon named Espurr (ESP + purr) evolves into Meowstick (Meow + mystic?). (Sounds like Psychic-type cats. Meowstick’s name sounds too similar to Meowth to me though.)

Meowstic being a final evolution makes me hopeful that it could actually have good stats.
It won't have good stats.

Some of this has been confirmed already and this is a different original source.

The way these rumors are set up makes it sound like the person is playing the game, as everything sounds early-game (except Final Evolution Froakie, but maybe he power-levelled) which makes me wonder, if real, will we get more soon as the leaker gets further?

I'm kind of skeptical of these, though. WPM wasn't the source last time actually, it was a dude whose roommate was a DigiPen tester and sent the info to WPM (and had posted it on GF and Bulbagarden before) and they got shut down, so this is a different dude feeding WPM info.

The part that bothers me the most is Trusk, because it sounds very similar to the Ground/Grass 2-stage boar line that was brought up in that Pastebin PokeDex "leak" floating around the other month.

So Bunnelby will lose it's normal typing? Has that ever happen before in pokemon?
Azurill is Normal and evolves into Water Marill, well, before Gen VI.

Swablu loses its Normal/Flying and becomes Dragon/Flying.

Togepi line is now part Fairy?
Togekiss Fairy/Flying?

Some people put Togekiss on the cover of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.

I call bull on this rumour since Chespin final evolution will be knight based and being part dark just doesn't fit it. I think Chespin final evolution will be Grass/Steel and Fennekin Fire/Fairy.


Bellossom lose its poison typing.

You call bull on the rumor sourced from guys who were shut down by Nintendo and whose information has been confirmed and reconfirmed as true over the last several months? Why can't people accept that Chespin is Grass/Dark?

And that Fire/Fairy bit is hilarious. Confusion, Psycho Cut, Psyshock, Magical Chant. All of which are moves Fennekin and Braixen have been seen executing. And yet it's going to be Fairy by your estimate?

I don't think "losing" is the correct term in most cases; they just have a higher affinity towards another type. Kind of like Tyranitar.

Bellossom makes sense for "losing" though.
 
Interesting how Gamefreak decided to put in a Status move that can cause Paralyze, Poison, Burn, or Sleep. But what if this is a "Powder" move?

But it doesn't have the spikes! :(

"Takes elements from hedgehogs, porcupines and echidnas, due to having spikes instead of scales"- Bulbapedia
Pangolins do have sharp-edged scales.

Even though they're unrelated, I want a Sandslash evolution that's a Glyptodont.
