CoroCoro reveals new Pokemon, Mega Evolutions, type chart and more!
Pokémon X & Y — 11 September, 2013
September's CoroCoro has just leaked and showcases lots of new information about Pokémon X&Y. First up is a second Mega Evolution for Mewtwo! Each of the Mega Evolutions are version-exclusive. The previously revealed form is Mega Mewtwo Y, while the new one below is Mega Mewtwo X, which is Psychic/Fighting type and has the ability Steadfast (raises speed on flinching). Mega Garchomp is also revealed, which has the ability Sand Force.

The starters first evolutions are called Gerogashira, Teerunaa and Hariboogu in Japanese and keep their single types of Grass, Fire and Water respectively:
As in previous games there are two fossil Pokémon: Chigorasu (Rock/Dragon) and Amarusu (Rock/Ice) - both unique type combinations! Chigorasu has a new ability Hard Jaw
that increases the power of biting moves (assuming moves like Bite, Crunch, Fire Fang etc). Amarusu has a new ability Frozen Skin
which turns Normal type moves into the Ice type and boosts their power.
The new type chart for the Fairy type is confirmed. Fairy is super effective against Fighting, Dark and Dragon; not very effective against Fire, Poison and Steel; Poison and Steel are super effective against Fairy; Fighting, Dark and Bug are not very effective against it; Dragon type moves have no effect on Fairy type Pokémon.

The Pokémon accidentally revealed last week in a frame of the Nintendo Direct is in fact a Normal type white dog called Torimian. It has a new ability Fur Coat
that reduces physical damage.
