[3DS] Pokémon X & Y introduce new Mega Evolutions for certain Pokémon
It was expected that some of the older Pokémon would receive new stages of evolution in October's Pokémon X & Y. However I can say for certain that I didn't expect older Pokémon to receive extra evolutionary stages known as "Mega Evolutions".

The information was announced in the latest issue of Coro Coro, you can also check out a much more detailed write-up of each of the new "Mega Evolutions" that have been announced so far over at Serebii.net.

First of all, it was confirmed that Pokémon can only undergo the transformation if they are holding a Mega Stone; it's currently unknown if these so-called Mega Stones are a specific item or separate items for each Pokémon. Only certain Pokémon will be able to undergo the process of "Mega Evolution" and the change will only be temporary in battle.

Pokémon confirmed to have "Mega Evolutions" are the following: Blaziken will become MegaBlaziken and gains the Speed Boost ability.Mewtwo will become MegaMewtwo and has the Insomnia ability.Lucario will become MegaLucario and has the Adaptability ability.Mawile will become MegaMawile and has the Huge Power ability.Absol will become MegaAbsol and has the Magic Bounce ability.Ampharos will become MegaAmpharos and gains the Mold Breaker ability in addition to become an Electric/Dragon type.

I'm remaining hopeful that these names won't remain when the game is localised for Western Pokémon fans, but it seems likely that they will remain.

In the same issue of Coro Coro a handful of new Pokémon were also revealed: Dedenne (Electric/Fairy) with the ability Pick Up or Cheek Pouches.Horubii (Normal) with the ability Pick Up or Check Pouches.Meekuru (Grass) with an unknown ability, this Pokémon evolves into the already announced Gogoat.

Lastly, a process known as Super Training was mentioned, it involves increasing your Pokémon's "Kiso" points. Serebii believes that this process will be what we currently know as EV training.
