I have a question about the -ate abilities like aerilate and pixilate, do they give STAB and then the additional boost? or is that boost supposed to take the place of STAB since they're not actually the same type?

Kinda disappointed in Salamence. Aerilate is definitely nice for it, but I hate the way it looks. I don't think I could make myself use it just because it looks so ridiculous.

Altaria looks awesome. IT'S SO FLUFFY!!! I love it. Dragon/Fairy is really an interesting type. It definitely gives it a niche over the other dragons. It's stats will determine whether it's worth using in the Mega slot, though. I hope so, I'd love to use it.

Lopunny was... Unexpected, anyway. I don't care for its design, but normal/fighting with scrappy has a lot of potential. Again, I want to see its stats.

So... Now where's the rest of them? There has to be more than just 3. Where is Mega Milotic???

Both STAB and the -ate boost are applied, so the total multiplier is 1.95.

i am in love with mega altaria & lopunny but i am dying of laughter from mega salamence. what is even happening there


also i like how the mega evolution scoop was...3 megas.

Dude, you read my mind, on every point you made, lol.

I'm really surprised about Mega-Lopunny, not only with the Gen 4 inclusion, but also at how good it actually looks. But Mega-Altaria is my favorite Mega, period, thus far, out of all the ones we know to exist.

I can't believe that people don't like Mega Salamence. In my opinion it ranks in the top five coolest Mega Evolutions.

That's my best guess for the most likely remaining to get one as well. Question is, when will we see it?

The normal type move will recieve a 30% boost, along with any additional modifiers (including STAB). So, both.

Mega Lopunny... wouldn't that imply they're expanding the Hoenn dex past just the new evolutions of G3 mons?

How can you say Mega Salamence looks like a frisbee when it's not even a full disk? I've never seen a crescent-shaped frisbee before.

Hopefully; Mega Blaziken at least had the excuse of being an event for not including Torchic in the Dex.

Though, some of the Mega Evolutions revealed before XY's release were post-game, so I wouldn't take it as confirmed just yet.

Maybe a boomerang?

Yeah, that's a good thing to keep in mind.

It resembles a boomerang more than a frisbee imo. Either way, I actually like its design. It looks more aerodynamic now.

Don't look here.
Oh and @Excitable boy I love your sig. The regis need a godamn boost. Give them megas for crying out loud. I am tired of them being neglected. Regigigas needs a primal.

I so would laugh if they did somehow put Sinnoh in there, for some personal reasons, it would be vindication to what others told me is impossible.

Mega-Salamance isn't a bad design, it's just hard to make out the design in general from that picture, like Mega-Megagross was last month.

My thoughts:
1. Altaria - Look pretty good although I would've liked it more if it kept its sky blue color. It's definitely grabbed a spot on my future AS team!

2. Lopunny - Uh... totally wasn't expecting this one. Not too happy with the design... doesn't really appeal to me at all. I like the original design better imo

3. Salamence - ...urgh
