As the November release of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire gets ever closer, we can expect more leaks and reveals to keep us busy. It seems that today brings us an example of the former, with the official Korean Pokémon website inadvertently spilling the beans on Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino as new Mega Evolutions.
Serebii has interpreted the following details on these evolutions (click to enlarge):
Let us know what you think of these Mega Evolutions, while a couple of additional screenshots are also below.
Thanks to Max Criden for the heads up.

Wow. Uhh, cool, I suppose. Mega Audino isn't pink enough in my opinion.
I kinda like Mega Audino. Mega Slowbro looks pretty dumb though.
MEGA SLOWBRO OH YEAH! shut up and take my parents money
Slowbro just isn't the same without the derpy expression. And I'm a bit disappointed by the Abilities, both are kind of sucky to me.
And Mega Audino made me think of a potential Mega Blissey. That would be terrifying.
I think both designs are pretty neat. I like how they furthered Slowbro and the shell's symbiotic relationship and his design has always warranted for a derpy evolution. And Audino looks good, but the real news here is that there are finally gen v megas.
Is it April already? I'm so confused...
These will grow on me, I'm sure, just like they always do
Weird looking as most megas. Audino resembles a doctor now.
@LtAldoRaine Honestly, they should've gotten Regenerator, since their original forms have them.
Meh, Mega Slowbro isn't that much.
Uhhhhhhh.....
More Audino just isn't needed, and Mega Slowking would have made more sense.
Mega Audino seems a bit noncommittal to me.
I like Mega Slowbro.
A lot.
Mega Slowbro looks like he's being engolfed in that shell... I fell sad for him, the more evolved he gets, the more he getts eaten. For him, there is no way to win.
Mega audino looks amazing, but slowbro..... Eeeerm...
Mega Slowbro looks absolutely ridiculous!!
I never liked Altaria and I stopped caring for Slowbro once the much prettier Slowking entered the scene (yes, I'm shallow), but their mega evolutions have converted me. I must have them both in my party.
I really hope that they include a mega evolution for Slowking as well, and I'd love to see my favourite fairy types also receive mega evolutions (e.g. Wigglytuff, Clefable, Togekiss etc.). A Blissey mega evolution would be epic as well (the HP!!!!).
And Mega Porygon-Z!!! I can never have too many Porygon.
I like the look of mega Audino but... that slowpoke... I think should be worried that it's tail is eating him. Personally, i don't really like the look of Mega Slow Bro... he looks... kind of dumb. lol
Really hate audino. Mega slow bro looks kinda cool.
Long since gotten over how weird Mega Slowbro looks. Does seem that the morphed Shellder is eating Slowbro now. The new abilities suck so much Regenerater was so much better. Looking at this now I can see Mega Cloyster happening now.
The images have been taken off the Korean Site now too.
I got this before @ThomasBW84 . So proud of myself, I told everyone on the Video: Zant Shows Off His Peculiar Twilight Moves in Hyrule Warriors post.
But on the actual post, Mega Audino looks ok and Mega Slowbro looks like it had a really lazy designer. Is is me or have the recent ORAS mega designs not been as good as before.
Yes! 5th gen megas!
That Mega Slowbro made me lol, especially the look on its face. It's like he/she egged off Shellder and said "you want a piece of me", to which Shellder reply "I don't want a piece, I want the whole thing" Mega Evolve.
Mega Audino looks nice. I would figure based on the description, it would have an ability that will have a 1/3 chance of putting the opponent to sleep with contact moves.
@crimsonbolt Maybe GF thought they would be too overpowered with it. But still, at least have a more interesting Ability if you really need to replace Regenerator. Hell, Oblivious would be better than Shell Armor now that it prevents Taunt as well.
Love Mega Slowbro! That face is priceless. Obviously, this raises the question about Slowking.
Mega Slowbro: "Halp meh!"
@sinalefa Audino is Nurse Joy's assistant in the Unova anime.
@MoonKnight7 Yep, there goes slowking.
Who thought Audino, of all 5th Gen mons, would be the first in her gen to get a mega.
Why did these Pokemon get megas? Last time I checked Audino was only used for experience not battle. I like slowbro.... But this design is so bad. He x loses his derpy face just to be eaten. Audino has a cool design but again, why are these megas?
I think these were waste of a mega evolution slot.. I think I'd prefer a much more reliable regenerator ability over a protection for a 1/16 chance to critical hit me.. which most of the time on a slowbro doesn't even matter..
Audino is even more useless now.. healer is so situational..
I'd rather see mewtwo get a fourth mega evolution than something like these ever again..
EDIT: even audino gets regenerator! That's so much more useful..
Design wise they're alright I guess..
Regenerator Slow Bro and Audino are both much better. These mega evolutions seem like down grades in power.
That Mega Slowbro. I NEED it.
Mega AUDINO!? What the heck is this nonsense? nobody in their right mind uses that stupid thing. Mega Blissey would've been WAAAY better.
Mega Slowbro looks awesome though! lol!
@Franklin How would Mega Slowking make more sense?
Do we get more exp for slaughtering Mega Audinos?
@NintendoHistory Maybe because Slowbro doesn't evolve into Slowking... It's just like how X/Y had Mega Gardevoir and Gallade.
Not my thing. Slowbro looks way too non-derpy, and Audino seems somewhat forced, not really intuitive in design.
@AVahne If anytrainer is gonna use a Mega Audino against us, yes.
@abbyhitter
So Audino is like a nurse and Mega Audino is like a doctor?
I still find it odd since Audino does not have any evolution. I thought Mega was only for Pokémon who could not evolve anymore.
Mega Slowbro looks hilarious! Poor guy was too slow to realize that he was being eaten.
I also think these reactions are funny. When a powerful Pokemon gets a Mega, people are like, "Megas are lame! They're making strong Pokemon too strong!" And then when a Mega is given to a weaker Pokemon they're like, "Megas are lame! Why did these weaklings get one?"
@True_Hero Mostly because these mega are terrible.. Healer and shell armor are terrible abilities when their nonmega forms have much better abilities (regenerator)
These, litteraly, are stupid megas. I hope these were taken off because they were scrapped not leak.. or somebody was translating wrong.. so many other pokemon need that mega and have more use for it than these two..
Mega sableye was also a fail in that prankster is a better ability for it than magic bounce. However atleast he should've got a mega since mawile did. He was also hoenn
These non3rd gen megas are really ruining the hype a little for me since that means it's less likely for pokemon like glalie, flygon, and tropius who need them in hoenn to actually get them. Nope.. instead they give it to these two who aren't even hoenn and screw it up.
Mega quaqsire with pressure up next.
I wish they made new evolusions to the many pokemon that really needs it. The mega's were okay at first, but i think we have to many of them. Anyway thats just me .
NO, JUST NO!!!! THESE POKEMON DO NOT DESERVE MEGA EVOLUTIONS!!!!!!
I really wanted to try a new Pokemon, but this new mega evolution thing just... I think is stupid
Uh, Slowbro? You..... you okay there? I think you might be being digested.
@sinalefa I'm thinking that was exactly the intention. It's risen up to one of my favourite Pokémon now!
Love the design for Mega Audino. Will be using it whether it's a good Pokémon or not. It's too adorable.
@Silent
D:
I think they are both adorable. Slowbro is still derpy and Audino really should've been retconned to a fairy once Gen VI came out anyway. I don't care about the meta so abilities really don't matter to me.
Hm... I think I'll keep my slowbro as it is, I'd rather see him derpy than sad.
Game Freak saw Funbro was was like, you know, we can improve on this.
Stop adding Fairy to everything! You're making Gardevoir less special.
Or give Gardevoir Quiver Dance.
So that seashell is eating him...
Wait... shouldn't Slowking get the mega, being the final evolution, and all?
EDIT: Whoops, nevermind. I almost forgot that you had to trade Slowpoke with a King's rock to get Slowking.
Slowking is not the the only final evolution of slowpoke and it amazes me how many people think this. Slowpoke can evolve into Slowbro and that's it or it can evolve into Slowking through trade holding a kings rock and that's it. It has branch evolutions.
Slowbro is a final evolution. Slowking is a final evolution. Mega Slowking could very well still be a thing.
Inb4 mega slowking is just a giant shellder with pink feet sticking out of its mouth.
Awesome designs. Not very good for competitive usage, but whatever. Also, finally a Gen 5 Mega Evolution!!!!
Mega Slowbro looks like if its getting eaten by its own shell. lol
@Royalblues Mega Mienshao is probably one of the most likely to happen, though I'm not sure if it will happen in ORAS.
@Yorumi Have to wait for Gen 7 for actual new Pokemon.
I don't like what they did with slowbro, he does not have adorable derp face he had for a long time.And now he looks like the shell is eating him alive.But a mega Audino?Now that caught me off guard and are these the final pokemons that are getting mega's?
@Yorumi Well that's the reason some people are interested in this game,cause of the mega's fans want to know which pokemons are getting one.
I'm kinda disappointed that mega audino isnt a standard audino evolution. Audino really needs one. And mega slowbro is just. What????
I like them both
What have they done to Slowbro's face?
@Emaan They forced him into an uncomfortable shell, which he is not particularly happy about. What would peta say about this?
uhhmmmm............ wait a bit , in one of the pics of audino in battle ( you can see it on serebii) near it s name there is not it s mega evolution sign !! So are we watching audino s evolution or a fake image ? either way i think they are doing a great job with megas. hoping for mega weavile, also got some infos from a trustworthy source that mega victreebel will be in ORAS with an amazing design and a new ability that raises it s defence and spe defence stats by one stage when it s sunny : solar shield. I cant tell you who communicated this msg but as i knew about mega scizor thanks to him before everybody i chose to trust him.
I went on GameFAQs and saw topics for some Mega Slowbro. Then checked Serebii and laughed out loud when I read about the Korean site accidentally leaking these. Oops! XD
Indifferent towards Mega Slowbro (prefer the look of regular), love Mega Audino.
@Yorumi Agreed.
@ShanaUnite same thought, they could have made mega slobro look dumb however its not the dumbest mega evolutions, sableye mega is it holding a giant rupee so its kinda dumb. mega kangaskhan at least has her baby join the fight sorta neat, mega venusaur is tattoos and a flower on its butt but at least it makes sense.
Audino goes BANKAI!!!! I mean Audino Mega evolves! I totally dig this! It was one of my favorite pokemon in Black & White. When I see Sawk when I have Audino, I'll be like "Remember what you did to me in Black & White version? Well do you punk?! I learn a new trick. mega evolves Now! Let's dance!!!!!" XD
Mega Slowbro looks stupid, but I'm open to new ideas. He is supposed to be stupid. And I think they did Audino right.
Slowbros hands poked through shellders eyes!
So for those who don't know, Slowbro and Slowking both evolve from Slowpoke independently. Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro at Level 37 OR can evolve into Slowking if traded while holding King's Rock. So, it is possible that if Slowbro is getting a Mega evolution, Slowking may ALSO be getting a Mega evolution. Perhaps one Mega Stone will be available in Alpha Sapphire, and the other will be available in Omega Ruby.
Slowbro's face is just right! right? Audino anymore..
Alright, I officially quit pokémon. Game freak just keeps embarrasing themselves every time they reveal a new evolution: swampert sucked, salamence sucked, altaria sucked, lopunny sucked and now slowbro and audino suck. I mean, come on, what´s next? MEGA DUNSPARCE?????
Every time I see a pokémon post I feel embarrassed, quite the contrary of what I feel every time I see a smash post. Mega evolutions were cool and neat when they were introduced in x and y, but now it´s just ridiculous. They mega evolve suckass pokémon so you are tempted to use them on your team. Gee, I can´t wait for mega raticate, mega spinda or mega stantler!!!! ¬¬
@ALEC_EIFFEL A mega Stantler would be awsome, if it looks as cool as normal Stantler
@LtAldoRaine Mega Blissey already exists in a way. It's called Chansey w/ Eviolite.
still think audino is stupid and wasting a mega evo slot while someone else could of gotten it is just annoying but as far as mega slowbro goes meh it looks more like a tank type pkm which i had already seen used as one so i think they were leaning more on that side
i think mega slowking is going to be revealed too
@Megapokepaul The image was from a debug version and wasn't meant to be uploaded. On the official site, it was labelled as Mega Audino numerous times and references made to Mega Evolution
@ALEC_EIFFEL So you complain that they're making lesser-used Pokémon viable thanks to Mega Evolutions, and would prefer for them to just give Mega Evolutions to over-used already powerful Pokémon?
I think Mega Slowking has better scope for expanding into something else.
Mega Slowbro looks really dumb. It's like his expression is saying "how am I supposed to do ANYTHING like this?"
Let just give everyone else mega evolutions at this point
@Serebii Man, be sincere to yourself, would you rather use I dunno, a mega dugtrio or a mega dunsparce? EXACTLY.
