>since it's introduction from Red and Green, it's been a physical attacker>get a new mega >it's loses points from it's physical attack stats and get more in special>not only does it get's an impressive 145 special attack stats, it's the highest special attack stats out of all pseudo-legendary pokemon, beating Hydreigon by 20 pointsWhy? Why try to change something that have been a physical attacker for over 30 years into a special attacker?
>>58388617God this mega form is such a dogshit design
>>58388617They wanted redemption for going from dragonair to dragonite
Probably to pivot from being redundant when Mega Salamence is also in the game. Salamence always be stepping on this nigga's toes, GF has to keep giving it handouts to keep up
Why not? Now you can build special moves for using Mega Dragonite specifically.
>>58388617>100 speed it's trash
>>58388635But Dragonair is a physical attacker as well.
Mega Dragonite easily has the most potential out of all the new Megas without knowing abilities. It's only issue his not being able to run Heavy-Duty Boots the preserve multiscale which would have been an issue regardless of it's stats. A slight attack drop is barely an even issue when adamant meganite has higher attack and speed after dragon dance than regular jolly. This makes physical, special and mixed dnite more viable and dnite as a whole far less predictable which is insanely good for a Pokemon which is already very viable and sees alot of usage.
>>58389506This. One of the easiest ways for a pokemon to be top tier is to be unpredictable while still competitive in its bracket. People are thinking way too narrowly where the fact that you cant pin down at team preview what the fuck the dnite on the team is going to do makes it such a threat.
>>58389366Dratini and Dragonair being more physically inclined always felt weird to me.
