List of generation VI Pokémon
The sixth generation (Generation VI) of the Pokémon franchise features 72 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 2013 Nintendo 3DS games Pokémon X and Y. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before X and Y. This generation featured the series' largest graphical overhaul: a shift from two-dimensional sprites to three-dimensional polygons. A new type (Fairy) was introduced for the first time since Gold and Silver in 1999, bringing the total to 18. Greater emphasis was placed on making Pokémon species more unique and in-tune with the culture and fauna of Europe, namely France.

All Pokémon were created by a team of roughly 20 artists, led by Ken Sugimori and Hironobu Yoshida. For the first time in the franchise, the generation's legendary Pokémon—specifically Xerneas and Yveltal—were not designed by Sugimori alone; he requested the help of Atsuko Nishida to move their designs forward.[1]
The following list details the 72 Pokémon of Generation VI in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, Chespin, is number 650 and the last, Volcanion, is number 721. Alternate forms that result in type changes and Mega evolutions are included for convenience.
Design and development
Development of Pokémon X and Y began in 2010 and the games were released worldwide on October 12, 2013.[2] Director Junichi Masuda revealed the three main themes of Pokémon X and Y to be beauty, bonds and evolution.[3] Beauty was the core focus and Masuda felt France to be a prime example of such; he brought a team to the country for study in 2011.[4] With the games taking place in a region based on France (called Kalos), design inspiration stemmed more from European culture[1] (e.g. the legendary trio of Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde have their roots in Norse mythology).[5] More focus than usual was placed on giving new Pokémon unique elements for this generation.[2]
A major design change for the franchise was the shift from two-dimensional sprites to three-dimensional polygons. This required a larger development team than past games, with more than 500 people involved with the games' development, inclusive of localization teams.[6] Emphasis was placed on retaining the iconic style of Pokémon art director Ken Sugimori who has been designing Pokémon and creating the franchise's official artwork since Red and Green in 1996.[7][8] A new type was also added into the game for the first time since Gold and Silver in 1999: Fairy type. This type was introduced to balance out the Dragon, Fighting, Poison, and Steel types. Dragon was previously only weak against itself and Ice and only resisted against Steel. Fighting previously was super-effective against five different types (Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark and Steel) and only weak against Flying and Psychic types. Poison was previously only super-effective against Grass, resisted against itself, Rock, Ground and Ghost types and ineffective against Steel. Steel previously was only super-effective against Ice and Rock types and resisted against itself, Fire, Water and Electric types. Aside from this, Ghost and Dark are now neutral against Steel, improving the offensive usefulness of both types. Multiple Pokémon from previous generations, such as Jigglypuff, Gardevoir and Marill, were retroactively assigned the new type while 13 new Pokémon, most notably Sylveon, donned the type.[9] A new mechanic called Mega Evolution—a temporary form change akin to normal evolution—was also added for more dynamic battles and stemmed from the concepts of bonds and evolution.[2][3] Mega Evolutions "refined designs to a new extreme" according to Yoshida and required considerable effort.[2] They were made temporary to retain balance in battles and only made possible when a Pokémon is holding their respective Mega Stone to prevent players from giving them a different advantageous hold item.[2] The only Pokémon from Generation VI capable of Mega Evolution is Diancie. A variant of Mega Evolution called "Primal Reversion" was introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; this mechanic is exclusive to the legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre.[10]
The titles X and Y, representing the x-axis and y-axis—also reflecting different forms of thinking[11]—were chosen early in development.[6] The simplicity of the names was also related to the simultaneous worldwide release of the games.[11] Designers additionally sought to make the Pokémon names the same in every country whenever possible. Masuda expressed that this effort proved exceptionally difficult as the names have to feel fitting to their physical appearance and not infringe upon any rights.[12] At the request of Masuda,[11] the shapes "X" and "Y" were used as the framework for the boxart legendary Pokémon: Xerneas and Yveltal.[6] Normally, Sugimori designs the legendary Pokémon by himself; however, he required assistance from designer Atsuko Nishida to create Xerneas and Yveltal.[1] Finalization of their designs took about 18 months, 3 times longer than normal.[13] Manga artist Hitoshi Ariga was requested to assist in creating Pokémon for X and Y; Ariga ultimately designed ten species for the games.[14] It is speculated by fans that the designs for the Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie evolutionary lines stem from typical role-playing game character classes, such as those in Final Fantasy. Chespin represents the knight, paladin and fighter classes; Fennekin represents the witch, mage and magician classes; and Froakie represents the ninja, thief and rogue classes.[15]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | Japanese | Primary | Secondary | ||||
| Mega Venusaur | Mega Fushigibana (メガフシギバナ)[81] | 3 | Grass | Poison | Venusaur (#003) | End of evolution | In order to support the massive flower it has, its back legs have become stronger. The flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. |
| Mega Charizard | Mega Rizādon (メガリザードン)[81] | 6 | Fire | Charizard (#006) | End of evolution | Charizard obtained two Mega Evolutions in X and Y, which were made version-exclusive to promote interaction and trading between players.[3] | |
| Fire | Dragon | Mega Charizard X's black-and-blue body is the result of the power of Mega Evolution. In this form, Charizard has the Fire-Dragon typing. | |||||
| Fire | Flying | Mega Charizard Y's bond with its trainer is apparently the source of its power. At max speed, it is fast enough to surpass a fighter jet. | |||||
| Mega Blastoise | Mega Kamekkusu (メガカメックス)[81] | 9 | Water | Blastoise (#009) | End of evolution | The water cannons on its back are about as powerful as a tank gun. Its legs were made to withstand the recoil that its cannons make. | |
| Mega Beedrill | Mega Supiā (メガスピアー)[81] | 15 | Bug | Poison | Beedrill (#015) | End of evolution | Its legs now have poisonous stingers on them. It will repeatedly stab its foe with them and deal the final blow with its rear stinger. |

| Mega Alakazam | Mega Fūdin (メガフーディン)[81] | 65 | Psychic | Alakazam (#065) | End of evolution | Its muscles and strength have been traded in for more psychic power. Not only can it see a person's entire life in a glance, but when its attacks miss, it is because it is seeing the future with the red organ on its head. | |
| Mega Slowbro | Mega Yadoran (メガヤドラン)[81] | 80 | Water | Psychic | Slowbro (#080) | End of evolution | With Shellder now taking up the majority of Slowpoke's body, it is apparently under Shellder's digestive fluid and it acts like a comfortable iron defense for it. Plus it has a little motivation, too! |
| Mega Gengar | Mega Gengā (メガゲンガー)[81] | 94 | Ghost | Poison | Gengar (#094) | End of evolution | Part of its body is in another dimension. Waiting for an opportunity to strike, it will try to kill anyone and everyone, even those it loves and trusts. Its body is full of strange powers. |
| Mega Kangaskhan | Mega Garūra (メガガルーラ)[81] | 115 | Normal | Kangaskhan (#115) | End of evolution | The explosive energy the child is bathed in causes temporary growth.

| Mega Pinsir | Mega Kairosu (メガカイロス)[81] | 127 | Bug | Flying | Pinsir (#127) | End of evolution | Now in a constant state of extreme happiness, its wings have unusually developed. It rarely touches the ground as it zooms off at 30 mph looking for foes to stab and shred with its two giant horns. |
| Mega Gyarados | Mega Gyaradosu (メガギャラドス)[81] | 130 | Water | Dark | Gyarados (#130) | End of evolution | Its destructive nature has further ascended due to Mega Evolution energy placing a burden on it only adding to its rage. Its native instinct is to destroy everything it sees using power-jets of water coming from the red orifices on its sides. If a ship is caught in the way, it will be cleanly split in half. However it will listen to a trainer who it shares a deep bond with. |
| Mega Aerodactyl | Mega Putera (メガプテラ)[81] | 142 | Rock | Flying | Aerodactyl (#142) | End of evolution | Mega Evolution energy has awoken some dominant genes, making Aerodactyl into what some scholars say is its true form, covering it with stones that are harder than diamonds. In turn, this has made Aerodactyl irritable and vicious, attacking anything that moves. |
| Mega Mewtwo | Mega Myūtsū (メガミュウツー)[81] | 150 | Psychic | Mewtwo (#150) | End of evolution | Like Charizard, Mewtwo was given two Mega Evolutions for X and Y which were made version-exclusive to promote interaction and trading between players.[3] | |

Its new Dragon typing is based on a pun — in Japanese, its name can be read as "electric current" or "electric dragon" |
| Mega Steelix | Mega Haganēru (メガハガネール)[82] | 208 | Steel | Ground | Steelix (#208) | End of evolution | Mega Steelix appears as a larger Steelix with 7 crystalline spears jutting from its body, as well as a circle of iron around its neck.

| Mega Scizor | Mega Hassamu (メガハッサム)[81] | 212 | Bug | Steel | Scizor (#212) | End of evolution | Mega Scizor cannot sustain a battle for a long time as the weight of its now enhanced pincers become unbearable to it. It stores excess Energy flowing from the Mega Evolution in its body and will begin to melt if it takes in too much. Scizor likes to beat its foes with its claws rather than grasping them. |
| Mega Heracross | Mega Herakurosu (メガヘラクロス)[81] | 214 | Bug | Fighting | Heracross (#214) | End of evolution | Although it can lift things with its two massive horns which weigh 500 times heavier than itself, it finds itself with very sore muscles when the Mega Evolution ends.

| Mega Houndoom | Mega Herugā (メガヘルガー)[81] | 229 | Dark | Fire | Houndoom (#229) | End of evolution | It can turn its opponents to ash with its fearsome fiery breath, but in return, its red tip of its tail and claws can melt due to it radiating such immense heat. |
| Mega Tyranitar | Mega Bangirasu (メガバンギラス)[81] | 248 | Rock | Dark | Tyranitar (#248) | End of evolution | When it Mega Evolves, its back splits open and with its vicious attitude fueling it, it might not be able to hear and execute its trainer's commands. |
| Mega Sceptile | Mega Jukain (メガジュカイン)[83] | 254 | Grass | Dragon | Sceptile (#254) | End of evolution | Its tree-esque tail has now grown even further. The circles on its back and tail can explode on contact and it can even launch its own tail. |
| Mega Blaziken | Mega Bashāmo (メガバシャーモ)[83] | 257 | Fire | Fighting | Blaziken (#257) | End of evolution | Parts of its fiery, hot legs have blackened due to Mega Evolving. It was one of the first Mega Evolutions revealed for X and Y. |

| Mega Sableye | Mega Yamirami (メガヤミラミ)[85] | 302 | Dark | Ghost | Sableye (#302) | End of evolution | The huge jewel that was ripped out of its chest due to Mega Evolution can block any attack, however it limits Mega Sableye's movement due to it being so big. |
| Mega Mawile | Mega Kuchīto (メガクチート)[83] | 303 | Steel | Fairy | Mawile (#303) | End of evolution | Its now-two huge sets of steel jaws gnash violently as if they have a mind of their own. They can rip prey in half with their raw power and one of them can gnash a boulder to dust. It also has a violent disposition. |
| Mega Aggron | Mega Bosugodora (メガボスゴドラ)[83] | 306 | Steel | Aggron (#306) | End of evolution | Its body becomes coated in a pale white steel armor, granting it a menacing appearance. It is the only Mega form to lose a type without changing it for another, going from Steel/Rock to pure Steel. | |
| Mega Medicham | Mega Chāremu (メガチャーレム)[86] | 308 | Fighting | Psychic | Medicham (#308) | End of evolution | It is said that through meditation, Medicham heightens energy inside its body and sharpens its sixth sense. This Pokémon hides its presence by merging itself with fields and mountains. |
| Mega Manectric | Mega Raiboruto (メガライボルト)[81] | 310 | Electric | Manectric (#310) | End of evolution | Too much electricity has built up in Mega Manectric, causing irritation. Its yellow mane has grown dramatically and resembles a lightning bolt. Its speed is on par with a lightning bolt. | |

| Mega Banette | Mega Jupetta (メガジュペッタ)[83] | 354 | Ghost | Banette (#354) | End of evolution | Its vindictiveness has grown tremendously. Mega Evolution energy has caused the cursing power that was previously held within by its zippers to spill out. It cannot help but to curse its own trainer. | |
| Mega Absol | Mega Abusoru (メガアブソル)[83] | 359 | Dark | Absol (#359) | End of evolution | After Mega Evolving, Absol gains a set of small wings. Its hair also grows out to counter its black scythe-like ear, giving the appearing of Yin and Yang. | |
| Mega Glalie | Mega Onigōri (メガオニゴーリ)[85] | 362 | Ice | Glalie (#362) | End of evolution | Mega Evolution energy has smashed its jaw open, leaving its jaw broken. It is very irritated that it cannot eat as well in this form. It can chew and freeze its prey instantly, though, and when it opens its mouth, everything around it whites out. | |
| Mega Salamence | Mega Bōmanda (メガボーマンダ)[85] | 373 | Dragon | Flying | Salamence (#373) | End of evolution | Mega Salamence can cut straight through most things with just its wings. It may even cut its own trainer in half and will not even notice or care. |
