What where they thinking?
>>58814554>How do we make sure an ice move doesn't instantly OHKO'd it?
GF for some reason continues to believe base Garchomp is OP and broken as fuck and this is their way to "balance" it again.
>>58814554>turns into a mixed attackerSo, aside from the 4x ice weakness, is regular Megachomp better in every way?
>>58814565Are you retarded? Regular megachomp is awful.
>>58814569I mean in ZA, Megachomp is an actual upgrade due to how the game works.
>>58814554>we can't make this good or else no one will use dragonite from KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>58814564Yet it is power creeped so hard this generation. I have no idea why they still refuse to give it Dragon Dance despite it needing a buff.
>>58814554They should've made it Dragon/Flying
>>58814554It's getting Steelworker, don't worry.
>>58814590>SteelworkerIf anything it'll get a new signature ability that powers up ground moves and makes it immune to electric, basically to give it the Ground typing without it having the x4 Ice weakness, but that would only be if GameFreak actually had a brain.
>>58814599Mold Breaker says hello
>>58814640>Mold Breaker says helloelectric goes from 0x to 1/2x damage, holy shit, very nice fucking retard
>>58814640Ok? Mold Breaker would also break Steelworker, what the fuck is your point?
>>58814554Draco Meteor mindrot, still good but I would have liked an odd take on its typing, like turn it into a Ground / Flying instead since the archetype of a Special Attacking Ground / Flying isn't covered yet. Also Garchomp getting Air Slash and Hurricane would be really funny
They really should have had Mega Dragonite be the one to become pure Dragon, while Mega Garchomp Z is Dragon/Flying
>>58814572Yeah but when competitive permanently moves to champions, Z is going to be better even if it runs an useless ability like Levitate (and I mean come on, we know it will) just because it's not a speed loss compared to normal chomp
>>58814577Are any of the Kanto megas besides Kanga good on CURRENT DAY though?Tought they all got powercrept already
>>58814741>Full of wingsis either Flying or Fairy for a M-Dragonite type change
>>58814710>turn it into a Ground / Flying instead since the archetype of a Special Attacking Ground / Flying isn't covered yet.This was basically what I wanted for Mega Flygon a decade ago before learning it wouldn’t get a Mega.
Mega Lucario Z keeps the same typesMega Absol Z gains a typeMega Garchomp Z loses a typePerfectly balanced
>>58814554Regular Mega Garchomp enhances its land shark qualities while Z focuses on the jet part of its design. I'm guessing their mindset is that Garchomp Z would drop the Ground typing to be a better flier, and they didn't give it Flying because they didn't want Garchomp to keep being 2x weak to Ice, plus Mega Dragonite and Salamence are Dragon/Flying too
>>58814554its a buff, though?
This is going to be cancer. Garchomp is bulky as shit without a 4x weakness
>>58814741That makes no fucking sense and you know it
>all the comments about competitive viability. Who the hell cares about ranked shit. It looks cool. Thats all that matters in this sea of ugly ass pokemon.Yes flygon shouldve gotten a type change
>>58814554probably something on the lines of instead of doing a retrain on Mega Garchomp, make Mega Kill Dragapult
>>58814554its gonna be Ubers
>>58814554They wanted it to be weak to Twave
>>58814925Garchomp flies using dragon powers.
>>58814554They didn't want it to job to Baxcalibur
>>58814554I think I've only ever seen a single pic of Garchomp Z besides this one
Why are they taking so long with it? Is it even gonna be out before Feb 27-th?
>>58816055I highly doubt it, they always have more announcements, Pokemon day will probably confirm SV events will be just repeated ad infinitum since we got a new game, announce Garchomp Z event for Z-A and end the direct with WW reveal (after a lot of minor spin off shit of course)
>>5881455836+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Garchomp-Mega: 204-240 (110.8 - 130.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
>>58816480>Posts a STAB Ice move from a legendary Z-Chomp would survive most nonSTAB ice moves due to no 4x weakness
>>58816569252+ Atk Huge Power Starmie-Mega Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp-Mega-Z: 548-650 (153.5 - 182%) -- guaranteed OHKO
>>58814554>wings get bigger and it flies>no longer tunnels or sand swims>loses ground typeMakes sense to me
>>58816848Thats not how it went with Flygon
>>58816874No one gives a shit, he should be fly gone
>Beedrill has to stretch itself to the very limit, sacrificing any hope of surviving any attack>Garchomp can just casually look like thisI really fucking hate Garchomp
>>58814856Zard Y is really good in Natdex OU. Best sun setter and isn't dead weight like Torkoal. Weather Ball hurts peepee real bad.
>>58814856Didn't blastoise get banned in natdex because of shell smash
>>58814856No idea but I wouldn’t be surprised if Mega Khan, Mega Salamence and a few of the other original ones still maintain high usage when Champions comes out.
It looks more like a paradox form than a mega 3bh
>>58816913>Beedrill, a route 1 shitmon, is actually being compared one of the strongest pseudos to existCHADrill's mega stone is truly built different
>>58816913And Beedrill is still shit regardless. Bug/Poison is shit, they should’ve given it some insane special snowflake ability.
What can outspeed and threaten it though?You have to remember that we're going to probably be in a format without even sublegendaries. What is the choice scarfed mon you keep on your team to try to 1hko MegaChomp Z?
>>58816913Sad stats. Still inferior.
>>58817816oof I meant to equip Choice Scarf
>>58814554"How do we make garchomp better without powercreeping salamence"
