Speed Boost though.
>>58390382looks sick
100000% the best looking new mega.
Game Freak being the balancing experts they are-you know what fuck it
Ehhhhh....As a fan of the horsebug, I don't really like how it just looks like someone put some metal armor on a normal Scolipede.
>>58390392Even without Speed Boost, regular Scolipede has base 112 Speed. Mega Scolipede loses a whopping 50 points.
>>58390382she's Beautiful
>>58390382I like how robotic it looks
>>58390382donut
>>58390382If they ever do a fusion gimmick this is what it will look like.
>>58390382Why bother adding all that armor and changing the color if it's going to remain Bug/PoisonAt least keep it red so the colors wouldn't be so ugly
>>58390392no abilities in Z-A! LOL
So it's a horse bug with armor now?
Regular Scolipede>60 HP/100 Attack/89 Defense/55 Sp. Atk/69 Sp. Def/112 SpeedMega Scolipede>60 HP/140 Attack/149 Defense/75 Sp. Atk/99 Sp. Def/62 SpeedIt's like a reverse Mega Beedrill, it loses Speed to put those points in its defenses instead
>>58390382Extremely good design in a barren wasteland of bad.
>>58390382You don't get it, those 20 points in Special Attack will be crucial
>scolipede was always used as a speed boost/swords dance baton passer>now it can baton pass to itselfscary thought
>>58390382>Still Bug/Poison Could have easily been a Steel/Poison Bug/Steel
real question, what the fuck happens to mega medicham when there are no abilities
>>58390444Why did it's SpA go up? It has no moves for special.
>>58390444>those points wasted on spatk
>>58390382this does not look good
The shiny makes it more obvious that the armor and its color are referencing Whirlipede
>>58390475sorry, forgot to also mention MEGA MAWILEwhat the FUCK
>>58390500Rumor is it got a boost of extra 50 in ATTACK stat.
>>58390475>>58390500they just get a boost to their attack stat for this game, same as Cherrim in PLA and new addition Mega Starmie
>>58390438...and? Who gives a fuck about some micky mouse side series with a completely different combat system. They'll be playable in the classic format in less than 6 months in Champs.>>58390475Apparently they just get extra stats. That's why Starmie had 140 extra stats from its mega.
>>58390382>Only a helmet and gorgetMan, I'm disappointed. I was never into naked with helmets on. Hats are one thing, but helmets just don't cut it.
>>58390475Mega Mawile, base Medicham, and Mega Medicham got their base Attack buffed for this game to compensate for the lack of their abilitiesMega Mawile has 147 AttackMedicham has 84 AttackMega Medicham has 140 Attack
>>58390500Mega Mawile, Mega Medicham, and Mega Starmie receive a massive boost to their attack in place of their ability.
What if it keeps speed boost in gen 10? It's definitely bulky enough to reach +2.What if it gets speed boost but for attack? It has agility
>>58390382This pretty much confirms they got the original designer back for the mega, lol(tomohiro kitakaze, same guy that designed the knights from SV)It rocks honestly.
>>58390533Mega Starmie is going to get Huge Power?
>>58390511>>58390512>>58390513>>58390532>>58390533this is a good change at least then, but what happens to kangaskhan
>>58390564Pure power more likely, but yeah its probably the only mega we can infer the ability from since it shares a stat oddity with Mawile and Medicham.
>>58390564Why do people keep saying this? Starmie's extra 40 points went into defense, not attack.
>>58390582could be multiscale or a fur coat rename then
>>58390580>Pure power more likelyNo, Pure Power is called Yoga Power in Japan.
>>58390582No, they went into AttackRegular Starmie60/75/85/100/85/115Mega Starmie60/140/105/130/105/120
>>58390537Agility is a good point.See so many people talking about running a bunch of moves to waste 2 turns in frail mode to get to +2, but with the mega bulk, just going straight into Mega with +2 Agility (again, assuming NO ability on the mega, the mega ability will probably do something to improve this) might be the smarter bet, +2 at 62 speed with jolly nature and ZERO investment outspeeds full investment 110, letting you throw EVs into bulk and attack, otherwise if you go full speed investment, you'll still get to outspeed everything after turn 1 in big bulky mode. (Unfortunately, sacrificing that 1 turn of opportunity cost to let your opponents do whatever is unfortunate, toxic immunity is nice as a bulky mon but no recovery and no leftovers)
>>58390382Fucking MOMMYgod, even has the apron in the frontAUGH HOW DO I DRAW BUG
>>58390582>>58390609Also there's a few physical attacks on its level up learnset that weren't there before, like Aqua Jet, Liquidation and Take Down. And Self Destruct and BULK UP by TM
>donut around its headoh no
>>58390382>discarded future paradox design
>>58390492>JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT'S PRE EVOLUTION LOLOLOLIs game freak really so creatively bankrupt that the only idea they have for megas is this? It's almost all of them.
>>58390741Who are you quoting?
>>58390629>draw a horse>add bug
>>58390382why is it kind of hot tho
>>58390747>draw a horsewell fuck me in the alps
>>58390763gay
>>58390613>+2+3 if you agility on the switch
>people think this looks good
>>58390423when are we getting modern fanart of "that"?
>>58390382Holy hell the gen v designs are pure sovl
>>58390796you say that like it was a one time thing and had never been done againthere was scolipede horse asshole posted on e621 literally two days ago
>>58390382>Protect>Sub>Mega + protectAnd then you have 2 more moves. Problem solved
>>58390404Think of it less as metal armor and more as a Whirlipede exoskeleton.
>>5839038262 Speed isn’t so bad when you are effectively going to be at +1 with protect or with skillful play.At lvl 100 and Jolly, you outspeed Salazzle and with Adamant you also outspeed Garchomp.You also Speed tie with Hawlucha at Level 50 so you effectively have better stats than Mega Hawlucha.
>>58390741>It's almost all of themName 10 megas that resemble their prevo, not including M-Scolipede.
>>58390609Yeah it's absolutely getting Huge Power. There's virtually no improvement on the offensive special side, hell it doesn't even get enough speed by growing legs.
>>58390444Yeah that’s kind of the point.For 1 time, it effectively has 103-117 Speed thanks to Speed Boost. Effectively giving it a BST of 640~ and an extra 55~ boost to stats.
>>58390382It looks like shit now that I see it, ugh.
>>58390382Erm that's nice and all but where is my Y / X pattern?? If it doesn't have one it's not a mega
>>58390876the whole point of speed boost is that you can set up a sweep, you're going to want swords dance instead of sub or protect.if this thing switches out once after mega evolving it's a sitting duck to any special attacks, so you pretty much have one chance to sweep with it
Does it have a tail, besides the two very sharp spines?
>>58390382Why did they make it even sexier
are people pretending it looks good for the donut memes, it looks like lopsided ass of a design
>>58391155My first thoughts were MOMMYi am however drawing donut
>has an actual abdomen nowfake bugfuckers are not gonna be happyso basically all scolipedefags
>>58391166you aren't going to do shit
>>58391217>>>/trash/78518851fuck you
>>58391231fair
>>58391209jokes on you, I fap to anatomically correct bugs
>>58390382Looks too much like one of the futuremons, not crazy about it
>>58390382Is that the sound of Horsefuckers' cope illusion shatter?Yeah, it's a Bug, a Big Giant Fucking Centipede, the same type of Centipede that are crawling in your walls right now!It doesn't whinny, it chitters!GET BTFO PONYFAGS!>>58391209>bugfuckers No, those were Horsefuckers who ignored the fact Scorlipede is a Giant Centipede and coped that it was a Weird Horse, but now the real Bugfuckers are happy and the Horsefuckers gets BTFO
>>58391050Turn it in your mind. I'm going to assume from the front we will see X's, though probably something more subtle like Garchomp's
>>58390444>Low HP defensive monThis shit is gonna be worse than normal scolipede
>>58391679I have never heard anyone say it was a "horse", always bughorse. They do acknowledge it's a bug. But also you're delulu if you think the chitin cuirass doesn't make the bughorse look more knightly.
>>58390444I get that the design makes emphasis on the armor and that mega stat spreads aren't always ideal but did it REALLY need 149 defense? This is a bug/poison type, as far as I know it doesn't just become bug/steel, so what's that 149 defense for? Specially with 60 HP and a weakness to rocks. It's not gonna tank brave birds better, let alone psychic or flamethrower, and it could set SD up just as well with something like>60/150/119/55/119/82My problem isn't even with it becoming stronger, it's just, why so much defense? Why not more sp.def at that point?
>>58391776I heard many just called it a horse with some calling it a bughorse, but it should be just called bug, if you need to add horse in it's name you're not interested as it as a bug you're interested it as a horse which means you're a horsefucker and see as a weird horseThe Chitin does give it a Knightly look like Escavalier as an Armored Bugmon
>>58391790Because Gamefreak’s idea of what makes something good is fucked
>>58391790I'm guessing the 'theme' they went with was Barding (horse armor) and either before or after they came up with the design they decided 'oh we may as well give it high defense'
kimi no aiba ga

>>58393283BAKYUN BUKYUN HASHIRIDASHI
>>58390512At least they realized they'd be fucked.Anyone got the list of datamine'd abilities?
>>58390382Maybe it's another Blaziken case?Speed Boost HA for Regular form and Speed Boost for its Mega Form
>>58390444Interesting mega, in other words completely worthless if the main games keep having the 1 mega per team limit because there's no reason to use a "fair" mega when you could be running shit like Mega Salamence instead
>>58393347I'd almost prefer the Sharpedo case, as long as it didn't get something useless like battle armor.
>>58390476Usually when they buff the off stat without making it usable, its to "nerf" the mega by giving it less useful stats but keep the 100 stat rule.
wheres the donut picture
>>58390444>gimmick meme where you have to farm speed boosts before entering defence mode (on a 60 HP stat)>attack is middling for a megaIt's joever, Mega Garchomp tier downgrade
Do we have a list of all the BSTs?
>>58393405Pretty sure its atk is above average for a mega but ok. Also it could retain speed boost
>>58390392It's only just about as fast as regular scolipede woth a +1 and max speed investement.Speed investment seems to be a waste on it imoAnd it's probably not getting speed boost anyway
>>58390513STARMIE IS GETTING HUGE POWER? Oh fuck.
>>58393367With horns like those maybe we will get a horn boosting ability lmaoIt sure could use horn leech as recovery
>>58390492Do you have the full image with all the shinies?
>>58393974The point is get +1 or +2 speed boosts before you mega evolve
>>58391209>>58391385>Centipede>AbdomenIf anything this is less anatomically accurate
>>58390382Why does it look like Clara?
>>58390382looks like absolute shitwhat kind of tranny likes this??
>>58395491Both fat
