Sorry about this late update but we've all been busy with things this week. Mega Audino and Slowbro were accidentally leaked on a foreign official Pokemon site this week, and then got officially revealed soon after, with Junichi Masuda even acknowledging the leaks when he showed the video for Mega Slowbro at Worlds this weekend.
Mega Audino becomes a Normal/Fairy-type and retains Healer. From the official ORAS site: "Mega Audino emits a soothing pulse from its body that reduces hostility in others. This powerful pulse calms any who come in range. Additionally, any creature that happens to come in contact with its second feelers will fall into a deep sleep.
When it Mega Evolves, this Pokemon gains the Fairy type. It has the Healer Ability regardless of what its Ability was prior to Mega Evolving. Its Defense and Sp. Defense are both improved, making it a good supporter in Double Battles and the like."
Mega Slowbro remains a Water/Psychic-type, and now gets Shell Armor. From the official ORAS site: "Mega Slowbro's energy has gathered in the Shellder clamped onto its tail. As a result, the hardness of its shell is boosted, making an armor so hard that nothing and no one can scratch it. When Mega Slowbro battles, it stands up on its tail. It can move by bouncing along, using its tail as a spring.
After Mega Evolving, its Shell Armor Ability means that opponents' attacks will never land a critical hit. In terms of stats, its previously high Defense jumps still more, and its Sp. Attack also increases, making Mega Slowbro a great Pokemon for long, sticky battles that require endurance."
