Another batch of info has come out about Pokémon X and Y through the Japanese magazine CoroCoro. The information in the magazine is always leaked before the magazine actually comes out, for some reason.
First off, Mewtwo is getting a second Mega Evolution. The one previously announced is called Mega Mewtwo Y, whose Mega Stone will be exclusive to Pokémon Y, while this new one, Mega Mewtwo X, is exclusive to Pokémon X. Mega Mewtwo X has an entirely different look from its Y counterpart and gets changed to the Psychic/Fighting-type combination. It gets an Attack boost and gains the Ability Steadfast.
Another Mega Evolution was revealed, as well - Mega Garachomp. Its Ability changes to Sand Force and it keeps its Dragon/Ground typing.
The first evolutions of Fennekin, Chespin, and Froakie are shown. They are all pure Fire, Grass, and Water; they have no secondary type. These Pokémon have yet to have been given English names. Chespin's evolution can learn Mud Shot, Fennekin's can learn Psycho Cut, and Froakie's can learn Bounce.
A Rock/Dragon Pokémon with the Ability Hard Jaw and an Rock/Ice-type Pokémon with Freeze Skin are both Gen VI's fossil Pokémon. A white dog Pokémon will have Fur Coat as its Ability, and will in some way be customizable, presumably with accessories like in the Sinnoh Pokémon Contests. A Psychic-type cat Pokémon was shown off; it has a female and male versions, each with their own movepools, similar to the Nidoran line. The female is primarily white and the male is mostly blue, and the female is offensive and the male is defensive.
In battle, Hard Jaw increases the effectiveness of bite-based moves, such as Crunch and Thunder Fang. Freeze Skin turns all Normal-type attacks the Pokémon with the Ability uses into Ice-type attacks. Fur Coat reduces the damage taken by physical attacks.
The typing chart was shown off, showing Fairy-type's full weakness/resistance setup. Defensively, Fairy type is resistant to Dark, Fighting, and Bug, and takes no damage from Dragon. However, Fairy-type is weak to Poison and Steel. Offensively, the Fairy-type is super-effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and isn't very effective against Poison, Steel, and, for some reason, Fire. Strangely, the Steel-type was tweaked to have lost its resistances to Ghost and Dark.
Trainers can go to a salon to change their hairstyle and clothing, and Team Flare is run by five scientists.
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y release worldwide in retail and in the 3DS eShop on October 12th, 2013.
