It falls victim to other Prankster users' Taunt. 

 

What people should get in their minds is that Sableye is not meant in any way to be an offensive Pokémon; the fact that they gave it Prankster as a Hidden Ability should've tipped them off. Its movepool, type and stats, even with the Mega Evolution boosts, wouldn't be fit for combat purposes; and I don't think they will give it the same treatment as Mawile. At best, they'd give it an ability that'd increase its defenses, amplifying its capabilities as a supporter and annoyer.

 

EDIT: They could also transfer some of its Speed to its defenses, if the Mega Evo boost by itself isn't enough. If it keeps Prankster, it won't matter much. It's already the slowest Prankster user by far, it's not like it could do anything against its colleagues' Taunts anyway; so it's best to focus on giving it more durability.

My main point is we can't write off Sableye so early, which many people have. We can't say for sure what/how good it's stat boosts will be. As for it not getting the same treatment as Mawile. If I remember right it's the version counterpart to Mawile so I don't see why they wouldn't give it similarly great boosts.

However I'm unsure if it will be physical or defensive, though I will admit it probably will be defensive. But it's up in the air so far, and it could possibly get an offensive boost. (Some Megas can make a Pokemon work differently, not necessarily make its current job work better.)

His offense doesn't matter at all. He has Foul Play which lets him us the opponents attack stat. Night Shade also does a preset amount of damage, so in terms of damaing the opponent, Sableye getting an ATK buff would do actual nothing for him.

Something to note in that pic; In the bottom left, there's a picture of Latios Mega Evolving, with May 'n' all. While it may be a good photoshop, it is one of the...better indicators, methinks.

 

...The, the fact that they otherwise use stuff we've already seen, and Mega Diancie is in there might also be something to note...

actually a large number of sableye carry knock off which does benefit from an increase in attack, however it's more just to remove items than to do any actual damage

there are literally 2 relevant prankster taunt mons, one of them has better moves to use and the other is pretty bad anyway. sableye is in no way taunt bait.

 

also i'm really excited if some of those megas are true such as seviper and i think the mon behind the glare is a zangoose, as well as sharpedo and crawdaunt.

I think Mega Sharpedo would be very interesting to see. I'm hyped for Mega Ludicolo and Mega Sableye.

Hopefully Mega Seviper gets the same treatment as Mega Sceptile did in terms of typing. We need a Poison/Dragon in the metagame that's better than Dragalge. I don't mind if it either keeps Shed Skin or gets Intimidate or Moxie or something instead, but hopefully it'll be faster and/or bulkier.

 

Oh, and Mega Camerupt better be good too. That's the only way I'll forgive Nintendo for taking a Pokemon with one of my most favorite typings and stuffing it up.

 

...

 

I won't comment on the rest until we've confirmed whether or not this Mega leak is fake.

I remember Fake Groudon from movie 6.

Jirachi Wish Maker (EN) or Wishing Star of the Seven Nights - Jirachi (JP); you got it right, Kirito.

 

As for the new Mega Evos, Metagross looks nice [too bad Steel doesn't cover its Dark/Ghost weaknesses anymore, but it's still good]. Mega Latis, I'm looking forward to (though given the hacked data on them from Serebii, I really hope they get a speed buff in addition to their special attack. Physical attack shouldn't get raised since they're mostly Special attackers (and usually run an - Atk nature).

 

Mega Flygon, think a lot of us wanted to see one (especially in DL's Pokemon matches)

I'm really hopeful that those Mega Evos will exist because it actually somewhat makes sense with X/Y. Zangoose and Seviper hordes existed. Bagon, Trapinch, and Gible were all available in the wild, and Garchomp got a Mega for some reason, but left the other dragons out of the fun.

 

Even if the stones are only available in OR/AS, the Pokemon pertaining to them are naturally available in X/Y.

The question comes to their use in communicating with XY.

Are they already in the game like Mega Latios and Latias? Do they intend to patch them into XY if they're not? What about those with XY who don't connect their 3DS to the internet? Being portable, you actually have to think about that local connection between games that consoles don't because they generally only connect with each other online.
