Mega Sceptile is going to be Grass/Dragon with lightning rod and Mega Swampert will stay Water/Ground and get the Swift Swim ability. Diancy will stay the same typing and the ability was listed as ???. Personally, I'm most excited for Mega Sceptile. I love when they introduce new type combinations and Grass/Dragon is just that. Definitely not the typing I was expecting for Sceptile, tbh. I am a bit confused as to why it got Lightning Rod, though...that makes all electric attacks from opponents target it, right? o.O Or am I thinking of something else? Lol
Also, the new Groudon and Kyogre forms are not Megas but are referred to as Prehistoric forms and Ancient Devolution in Japanese. So they go back to their forms from ancient times I guess. Seems like it could be a pretty interesting concept. owo
Steven Stone will be back, obviously, but this time it appears he will have a Mega Charizard X. o.O And the two different bikes will be coming back, I figured that was a given though. It also looks like Team Aqua and Team Magma characters got some pretty flipping sweet design revamps! I am so looking forward to all this. Seriously, this just makes me all the more hyped for the games. It'll be interesting to see what other new megas they announce over the time until the games' release, if there are any more, of course. :3
I'm so excited for Mega Sceptile, the new typing sounds amazing! As to the Lightning Rod thing, I looked it up and apparently it draws electric attacks, but has them boost special attack instead of doing any damage... So I can see where that'd be useful
