As you probably know by now, several international countries have access to the demo versions of ORAS and players of these demos have confirmed the existence of Mega Glalie and Mega Steelix within the demo. As usual, the official Pokemon sites have updated a few days after a new reveal with the details.

Mega Steelix retains its Steel/Ground-typing but picks up a significant Attack boost and a smaller boost to its Defenses as well as Sheer Force as its regular Ability. The Iron Snake Pokemon is now 34'5" and weighs a whopping 1631.4 pounds with its added crystals. The official site adds, "Steelix Mega Evolves into Mega Steelix. The cells within its body, crystallized by the energy produced from Mega Evolution, are stronger than any mineral and able to withstand any temperature. It moves incredibly slowly, but its strengthened body is also impervious to damage, and it lashes out at foes without flinching."

Mega Glalie retains its unfortunate pure Ice-typing, gains Attack, Special Attack and Speed, and now gets Refrigerate as its ability. The Face Pokemon is now 6'11" and weighs 772.1 pounds despite losing its entire jaw from Mega evolving. The official site adds, "The excessive energy from its Mega Evolution gushes out of its mouth, blasting away and destroying its jaw. It is no longer able to close its mouth, and the freezing air it emits becomes far stronger. It tosses foes into its gaping mouth, expelling a burst of chilled air to freeze them instantly."
