Despite being leaked a little early, Mega Steelix and Mega Glalie have now been confirmed by Nintendo for real. The two pokemon are raring to go, and they both look dangerous for sure. Especially Glalie with that chin.

The two new Mega Evolutions were given official descriptions by Nintendo:

Glalie, the Ice-type Pokemon, can Mega Evolve into Mega Glalie, raising its Speed and significantly raising its Attack and Special Attack. Upon Mega Evolving, it gains the Ability, Refrigerate, which makes Normal-type moves into Ice-type moves. It also gains the Ice-type move, Sheer Cold, which can knock a target out in one blow!

Steelix, the Steel- and Ground-type Pokemon who evolves from Onyx, can Mega Evolve into Mega Steelix, which raises its Defense stat greatly and gives it the Steel-type move, Iron Tail. Iron Tail is most destructive during a sandstorm, thanks to its Sand Force Ability, which increases the power of Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type moves by 30% during the sandstorm weather condition.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are due out on November 21st, but Glalie and Steelix can be caught and transferred to the real game from the demo versions released on Oct 21st – Tomorrow!
