Korean website leaks Mega Slowbro and Audino

Let's take a minute to thank the Official Korean website for leaking that Mega Slowbro and Audino are coming to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Slowbro’s been a fan favourite since gen 1 and has seen a lot of use online since X and Y so it’s great to see it get a Mega Evolution. It is a little surprising seeing Audino get a Mega Evolution since it’s the first Gen 5 Pokemon to get one.

What we currently know about these two mega’s is that Audino will be a Normal/Fairy type and will keep its healer ability while Slowbro will stay water/psychic and will gain the Shell Armour ability. The healer ability has a 30%  chance of healing Audino and his partners of status effects while Shell Armour means Slowbro is immune to critical hits.

As for Stat boosts according to Serebii Slowbro will get a further boost to its Special Attack and Special Defence turning him into a special tank while Audino will become a true tank as it gains a boost to its Defence and Special Defence.

Design-wise Mega Slowbro looks weird as the thing biting its tail is now used as armour by Slowbro as it somehow balances itself on its tail. Mega Audino’s design looks rather nice. It looks like how I’d imagine Audino would have been designed if it was designed to be a fairy type.
Regardless of your opinion on the designs it’s cool to see at Slowbro and Audino are getting a Mega Evolution. While leaks of Pokemon that turn out to be false are nothing new, the screenshots of Mega Slowbro and Audino look very real. Well that and these were leaked on the Official Pokemon website in Korea.

It’s still not known if you’ll be able to use these Mega Pokemon in X and Y. Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be released on November 21st.
