The new gameplay trailer also confirms the names of Mewtwo's "Pokémon X and Y" form as Mega Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon's new form was announced last week with Mega Lucario and Mega Blaziken.

As Latinos Post reported, "Pokémon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realized in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon a dominant advantage," noted The Pokémon Company International. "Mega Evolutions will revolutionize Pokémon battles and usher in a new Pokémon transformation never before seen in the Pokémon world."
