New Mega-Evolutions in Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Trailer

Four more Mega Evolutions are added to the roster in this new trailer for Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.

The Pokemon Company released a trailer yesterday for the upcoming Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon Omega Ruby that shows off new Mega Evolutions, as well as a special Cosplay Pikachu and the return of Horde encounters. The Mega Evolutions included are Mega Salemence, Mega Altaria, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Metagross.

The Pokemon Contest Spectacular resembles a similarly named in-game event from Generation III in which the player may have his or her Pokemon judged in one of five categories-Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Toughness, or Smartness. The player’s Pokemon is then matched up against Pokemon of other NPCs, and Pokemon that do well in the competition have a chance to Mega-Evolve and further increase their scores. Pikachu’s new Cosplay forms (Rock Star, Pop Star, Ph.D, Belle and Libre) are eligible to participate in the contests as well, with each one having their own special moves.

Players who purchase either version of the game on November 21 will be able to receive a special Shiny Beldum through in-game distribution that will be holding a Mega Stone. Once Beldum evolves into Metagross, it can use its Mega Stone and become Mega Metagross.

Below is a gallery of the new Mega-Evolutions as well as Shiny Metagross.
