I read a statement a couple of pages back, that MegaLucario is the "most likely" mega evolution for a Ash to get in Kalos.. and I'm slightly confused at how it's more likely than either MegaCharizard or MegaHeracross? I mean, he already has both of these Pokemon and STILL shows no sign of capturing a Lucario. Therefore that statement makes zero sense..
As for Ash not capturing a Litleo because it "offers nothing except Fire Fang", I just need to ask how anyone even knows that Fletchling will definitely gain the likes of Flamethrower, etc? I mean sure we'd probably all like it to, but for all we know it might only learn Flame Charge/Flare Blitz and then simply round off its move pool with Steel Wing and Flying/Normal moves. This would of course leave the standard Flamethrower option for Litleo/Pyroar, along with whatever else.
Talonflame:- Flame Charge/Flare Blitz, Steel Wing, Razor Wind, Aerial Ace?
Pyroar:- Flamethrower, Take Down, Dig, Fire Fang?
Yes, I can see the Dig/Fire Fang combinations now..
I would rather see it learn hyper voice.
