This mega is so forgettable. It has the most broken stats with 190 Attack (The highest of every mon), 154 Sp.Attack, 130 Speed, 100 Defenses, infinity movepool AND when you use is just so weak. Very weird Mega. Steadfast is so mid. I thing Guts would be better or Moxie.
>>58228294I chose Y so that's understandable.
Most pokemon could only wish to be as busted as the gen 8/9 legendaries
>>58228323Bruh Shadow Calyrex is the most broken thing ever.>165 Sp.Attack>Ridiculous 150 Speed>A good bulk>A broken ability that increases the already high special attack >It can use any Ability AND in Gen it can Dynamax...What is this? Dialga and Palkia the deities of time and space in front all of thing, just nothing. They have Pressure and Telepathy. Origin forms in the generation of Zacian and Calyrex Shadow? They don't have a signature ability and they can't use Specs, Leftovers or any good typing. What a mess.
>>58228294>X now has Neuroforce>Y now has Psychic SurgeEasy fix
>>58228350>120BP, 100% acc spread move Calyrex Ice is the same thing, just an extra step.>bottom of the speed tier>insanely bulky>insane attack>can set up trick room
>>58228358Neuroforce would still not let Mewtwo Y hit as hard as Miraidon does.
>>58228370I gave Neuroforce to X, since it can work as a mixed attacker
Bulk Up/Drain Punch is fun on him
>>58228405The physical set just got better now that Mewtwo can learn Knock Off
>>58228350>Dialga and Palkia the deities of time and space in front all of thingMasuda’s word is that they aren’t even that, and their ability to distort timespace is basically just tied to their sig moves, which is probably why they’re underwhelming.
>>58228323Zamazenta deserves it after SwSh basically being a Humiliation Ritual for Second Version fags.>>58228350Dialga and Palkia are kinda victims of circumstance.>BDSP is "Faithful" so no buff.>PLA has no Abilities due the battle system changes.>They can't actually be allowed overshadow Origin Giratina.>The Box mon for PLA is Arceus anyway, who got Legend Plate (Only in PLA).The Weather Trio got it good by getting themselves attached to the "SUPER FORM!" Generation. Tower Birds didn't really get shit in HGSS either cause it predates gimmicks.
>>58228294It’s another mega where not being able to hold an item kind of fucks it over.
if mewtwo X existed at the time of the first movie, would it still have used its psychic powers to destroy the lab or would it have mega evolved and physically beat the shit out of the scientists
>>58229020As it turns out all Ho-Oh needed was for rock types and their moves to become vanishingly rare for it to be top tier and make top 16 at worlds.
>>58229026This is especially telling in VGC. When you look at that meta and its rules, you kind of understand that Rayquaza needed to be able to hold an item to be worth considering, as it consumes a both a restricted slot and your mega slot. (It still ended up a comparatively “niche” pick next to Salamence, who has intimidate and a special spread move).
>>58229189Imagine if clear amulet had been around when MegaFug was around.When we get to a double restricted mega format again, Fug is going to go bonkers.
>>58228294This shit is so forgettable people don't even know it got stretchy limbs
>>58228948People are really resistant to this for some reason, Masuda says even Arceus isn’t actually a god but people REALLY like the Pokegod stuff and won’t let it go
>>58229295Arceus isn't a God because it exists in the same continuity where the real gods, GameFreak, regularly self-insert themselves so they can blab to the player about how they created the world they're playing right now....Is what I would say if GameFreak NPCs made continued appearances after LGPE, but they conveniently disappeared just in time for PLA to hype up Arceus as the creator of all things.
>>58229295Yeah Arceus is just one of the "thousand hands" of the actual creator. It's a mortal avatar for an unfathomable being.
>>58229295>Gen 10 based in Greece>The legendaries will be literally God'sIt's time
>>58229295I know Cynthia's dialogue in Platinum implies that Dialga and Palkia are just powerful Pokemon that the people of the past thought were gods because of things like Roar of Time and Spacial Rend. But I feel like if that was their intentions during gen 4 then they've leaned in the opposite direction with later games
>>58228294The truth is that 190 Attack is the highest base, but it's really not that impressive on a mon that can't hold an item and doesn't get an ability that boosts damage.Not by legendary standards, at least.
>>58229042They'd make it like the Victini movies, where Mewtwo is X in one version and Y in the other.
>>58229665>I know Cynthia's dialogue in Platinum implies that Dialga and Palkia are just powerful Pokemon that the people of the past thought were gods because of things like Roar of Time and Spacial RendYeah, the leaked Cyrus story document also says this, which I found pretty interesting.
>>58228370Y got Psychic Surge which is perfect for boosting Psychic damage and neutralising Sucker Punch (except from Yveltal).
>>58229042It wouldnt need to mega so the former.
>>58229665 Can you attach screenshots of the game and indicate when it is said?
>>58231423I don't remember if it's specifically post-game, but it's at least after beating Giratina. Her appearing in Celestic Ruins is exclusive to Platinum.
>>58231423Cynthia in Platinum seems to think that the creation trio are extremely powerful Pokemon with powers over time and space, but have been exaggerated by myth and Cyrus. But even if GF intended for this to be the case back then they seem to have leaned more into them being gods later on.
>>58231691She says this because after Cyrus is defeated, he deliberately states something false (that defeating or capturing Giratina will destroy both worlds for him).While that's precisely what helps calm him down so the worlds don't get destroyed.
>>58231662Here, she gives her personal interpretation, her belief. It's not really a myth, and Dialga/Palkia are indeed preparing to destroy the world. That's why they're being arrested.Knowing that APL continues to uphold the myths as fact.A little earlier, she had even theorized that the three elves in the wall, weren't Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit. But rather Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, which is obviously false.
>>58232209>he deliberately states something falseNo he actually does believe that Giratina and the Distortion World are connected. His new goal since Giratina kidnapped him was to defeat it so that the Distortion World would be destroyed alongside the real world. Cynthia says they're lies, but Cyrus' dialogue when you first meet him in the Distortion World and after defeating Giratina shows him believing it. Cynthia is of course right about that not being the case, but her argument against it is strange and comes off as her not believing a Pokemon can have that kind of power. But for all I know she could've said something completely different in Japanese.
>>58230844The fact that this is true repulses me.
>>58228350Welcome to powercreep. Is this your first piece of media ever?
>>58229302>I was just merely pretending to be weaker than natural beastsOk God, sure
I don't know why they bothered giving Mewtwo and Charizard two forms if only one of them would look decent.They dropped the ball on Charizard Y so much
