The latest edition of CoroCoro has revealed Mega Beedrill and Mega Pidgeot, among other new information.

Mega Beedrill is Bug/Poison and has Adaptability; its Attack and Speed greatly increase. It is 4'07" (1.4 m) tall and weighs 89.3 lbs. (40.5 kg).

Mega Pidgeot is Normal/Flying and has No Guard; its Special Attack increases. It is 7'03" (2.2 m) tall and weighs 111.3 lbs. (50.5 kg).

Mega Latios and Mega Latias will appear in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. While these two Mega Evolutions and their respective Mega Stones had previously been discovered in the code of Pokémon X and Y by fans, they had not been officially announced until now.

During the game, the player can befriend Latios or Latias. Using the Eon Flute, the player can summon it and freely fly through the sky on its back, and can even turn and speed up at will. Latios appears in Omega Ruby, while Latias appears in Alpha Sapphire.

The next issue of CoroCoro will include a serial code to download the Eon Ticket, which allows the player to travel to Southern Island to obtain the member of the Eon duo not normally obtainable in that game.

There are new areas called Mythical Places (「マボロシのばしょ」), which can be found on islands and in clouds in the sky. Legendary Pokémon from previous games can be found in Mythical Places. With only Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all Legendary Pokémon can be found (but not necessarily all Mythical Pokémon).

The Japanese guidebook "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Simple Clear Guide" will be released on Nov. 22 and retail for ¥864.
