I thought that was a joke because of the "torn leggings" thing but uh, wow
CoroCoro has just revealed Mega Lopunny, a Normal/Fighting-type evolution with the ability Scrappy, Mega Altaria, which becomes Dragon/Fairy and obtains Pixilate, and Mega Salamence, which receives Aerilate.
Dressing up your Pikachu for contests will allow it to learn a special move it wouldn't learn otherwise. Pikachu Rock Star gets the move Meteor Mash, Pikachu Ph. D. knows Electric Terrain, Pikachu Pop Star knows Draining Kiss, Pikachu Belle knows Icicle Crash and Pikachu Libre knows Flying Press.
Finally, there will be an event that allows you to get a shiny Beldum holding Metagross' Mega Stone.
