>Starmie, the previously known super fast starfish of alien origin and Psychic abilities and electricity and water and so on.

NAWWW NEEDS TO BE TOO SLOW STILL BUT ALSO TOO FAST FOR TRICK ROOM AND ALSO GIVE IT MORE SP.A IT NEEDS THAT>You know what Skarmory the steel bird needs? 65 hp?

Mega Skarmory dropping Defense for more Attack and Speed is the only way it could stand out or be worth the Mega slot.
>>58388408>what if instead of using the mega evo to make a pokemon stronger in the things its good at we swap its roles and stats entirely to something elseBravo Gameufreaku/TPCi
>>58388360GF gives 0 fucks about stats they are randomly distributed
>>58388360Mega Starmie does look broken if it does have Huge Power and 100 Atk.That’s the same as Mega Medicham, but Starmie gets its Water STAB boosted further in Rain, has more Speed, and has Natural Cure before Mega Evolving so it can cure an status condition before commiting.Mega Dragonite is ass however.
>>58388421>mega switches type and/or roleMy favorite kind of Mega.
>>58388421Mega Diancie is one of the strongest Megas in the game. And going from Defensive to Offensive is just about the best way you can make a Mega that switches the Pokemon’s roles around. You set up Sword Dance as base form Skarmory, then Mega Evolve when you start attacking.
>>58388437We know Modern day Pokemon game Designer
>>58388360to be fair Skarmory is a falcon with swords for wings. Design wise it seems like it was always meant to be a fast physical attacker rather than a slow wall.
>>58388360Oh shit, Pascal the dog is here
>>58388360The worst Mega competitively is Malamar>Still slow>Make it a mixed attacker>Waste 45 BST on SpD and 30 on SpA that’s still dogshit>It is still Psychic/Dark so no resistances and nasty weakness to U-turn and Fairy>Still physically frail too as Def gets nothingDepending on what ability it gets, this might dethrone Mega Audino for worst Mega Evolution
>>58388593Malamar needed an evolution first.It's a miracle the first form performs as well as it does with such low stats.
>>58388360This game is 100% skippable, preorderfags should start refunding ASAP and just wait for Champions.
>>58388360>>Dragonite that commonly uses Dragon Dance? NAWWWW NEEDS MORE SPECIAL ATTACKDNite was always designed to be a mixed attacker, it just ended up a physical attacker over time because they kept vomiting more tools at it that favored those setsPretty sure it had mixed sets for every gen up until it got Multiscale which obviously is going to tilt way in favor of physical
>>58388665One of the oldest dragonites I have is a quiet one named Reiko one with Surf, Draco meteor, Hurricane and extreme speed.I remember using it as an anti rain and anti lead in gen 4, Dragonite was always very versatile, I even had fun using pseudo para flinch with twave and dragon rush on a bulky spread to some success, people just switched in their clefables willy nilly then started eating iron heads with old paralysis to boot.
>>58388360This is the same fucking studio that was genuinely surprised when people ran special sets on Aegislash, which has a wide special movepool and equal attack and special attackAs if the obvious lack of polishing (which got so bad with SV that it made Nintendo break their no refunds policy) wasn't already enough proof that they barely play their own fucking games
>>58388426Abilities can change the narrative but I think people are thinking too narrowly on meganite. He's a Swiss army knife. Huge special movepool to use, but the atk drop isn't significant enough to make DD mix attacking unviable with the well desired speed boost and bulk to make set-up safe. I think the fact that there is going to be so many different sets you could run is going to make it a major threat because you can bait being physical or special and have really good base form abilities to help on top of it.
>>58388993Problem is opportunity cost.In a vacuum Mega Dragonite looks fine. But by using Mega Dragonite, you're giving up another Mega and to use Dragonite in a more effective way.
>>58388360Feraligatr getting no extra speed is funny. They gave it 10 special attack instead, lmao. I wonder what reality Gamefreak visits when they decide to balance things.
>>58388360>TOO FAST FOR TRICK ROOMI hate this line of thinking. Trick Room is speed control, not something you build your team around. If your Pokemon is slower than your opponent, you set up Trick Room. It doesn't matter if you have a base 135 out on the field, if the opponent is 150, then Trick Room makes sense and 135 isn't "too fast for Trick Room."
>>58388993MegaMence has 145 attack and 120 speed and can also dance. Dnite doesn't even have heal bell anymore.
