CoroCoro Magazine, so often the source for exciting Pokémon-related news, hasn't failed to disappoint in the latest issue. Focused on Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, reveals have included Mega Metagross in addition to the Pokédex and a host of Pikachu variations.
Once again, Serebii has been trawling through Japanese forums and websites to obtain scans, and the latest — above — shows Mega Diancie in the game; its ability will be Magic Bounce. Diancie will also appear in Pokémon X & Y as part of a special distribution in Japan alongside the theatre release of Pokémon XY The Movie - The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie on 19th July. The movie — known as Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction in the West — is likely to arrive in other territories later this year, with details of the X & Y distribution still to be revealed. It seems the Mega evolution could be unique to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
The next issue of CoroCoro magazine — due on 12th August but likely to be leaked in the days beforehand — is promising a "Mega Evolution Scoop".
What do you hope will be revealed next month, and are you excited about Mega Diancie's announcement? Let us know in the comments below.

Diancie also gets her own episode in the Anime too. The last time they lead with that teasing title we got a boat load of information rehashing Mega Evos. Are they teasing a new kind of Mega Evolving or new ways to use them? Oh man can't wait to hear this.
But look at pikachu. Why is he like a statue?
So we've come full circle. Ash became a statue in the first movie, now it's Pikachu's turn. I'm sure he'll be restored in some touching way.
Pikachu, petrified?
No. The feels. They're coming back to me! Trying. not. to. cry...
...too late.
Rockachu!
And this reminds me to claim my Vivillon before it is too late.
didnt they announce this like a long tima ago?
@xj0462 Not its ability as a Mega, no
Pikachu's turned to stone? We've come full circle!
@Serebii really? it thought the announced its mega evolution back in late may or early june
@xj0462 They did, but not its ability of Magic Bounce.
@Serebii oh ok
"Hasn't failed to disappoint" I'm a little confused, were you guys dissapointed by this??
Oh noes, this time it's Pikachu who turned to stone!
What's Darkrai doin' here?
What is this odd publication? It's almost disconcerting in its strange existence...
"Mega evolution scoop"
Mega Raichu. Calling it now.
So...why can't Fairy types be weak against fire? They deserve to be weak against fire.
If only they'd release Diancie in the US already!! (I'm growing impatient)
Pikachu has reached a level so ruthless and unforgiving that he literally has a heart of stone these days.
@AVahne Haha agreed. :L
@JakeOfAllTrades There was a popularity contest in Japan and whoever won got to be distributed as an event, hence why Darkrai is featured.
"Hey, Mario! Look what I made!" "It's a stone, Luigi. You didn't make it." "It's a Pikachu! I chiseled it! It's even official size!"
