The newest edition of CoroCoro Comics magazine has revealed some new 'XY' information.

The Mega Evolution of two more Pokémon, Garchomp and Mewtwo, have been featured. Mewtwo's newly revealed 2nd Mega Evolution is called Mega Mewtwo X and it is a Fighting/Psychic-type. While Mega Garchomp has an Ability called Sand Force. Furthermore, the Japanese names of the Generation VI starter Pokémon's evolutions have also been unveiled. Chespin evolves to Hariboogu, Fennekin to Teerunaa and Froakie to Gerogashira. Much like the pre-evolved forms, all of them keep their original single types. Along with that, some new Abilities have also been revealed which include:

  • Freeze Skin - Whatever Normal-Type attack you use becomes an Ice-Type attack. The move's attack power is raised as well.
  • Strong Chin - The attack power of moves that use your fangs like "Crunch" rises.
  • Fur Coat - The damage taken from any attack in which your opponent comes into physical contact with you is decreased by half.

Although there is not much confirmation on it, Fairy-type is strong against Fighting, Dark and Dragon, not very effective against Steel, Poison and Fire, weak to Poison and Steel, resists Bug, Fighting and Dark and is immune to Dragon.
