>compfags have now realized how strong mega starmie is>people who were shitting on it 3 days ago are now acting as if it's their favoritePathetic, if you didn't appreciate this design on it's own merits, you don't get to revel in its greatness
>>58484236bump for truth
>>58484236Starmie has always been extremely solid, even without ever receiving any buffsThey could only stop it by not including it in the switch mainline games
>>58486113Starmie's only flaw is that in a lot of games, it's sort of hidden away. Emerald specifically hides it in lilycove, which can easily be overlooked if you're not aware
>100 SpA >115 Spe>85 defenses>Can run Surf/Hydro Pump, Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam and wreck house>Also gets access to RecoverIn every gen until SM it was in OU for a reason. It's always been a powerhouse.
I think it’s a funny mega but the facts that it’s one of the strongest megas, possibly having one of the best abilities, and is saved as one of the final rogue mons in the story, make it a lot better.
>>58486113This. In gen 1 it was one of the best.
>>58486128I didn't even know Staryu was in Emerald.
>>58484236What could be a standard movesert?
>>58484236I liked Mega Starmie from the moment I saw it in motion, it's really funny, and what's the core of videogames if not fun?
>>58489715Liquidation/Flip Turn, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Recover/Rapid Spin
>>58484236>ooga booga you can't change your mind
>>58484236I liked Mega Starmie from the beginning because its design reminds me of Patrick from Spongebob, who's one of my favorite fictional characters ever.

>>58484236mega evolutions were a lazy mistake
>>58484236>nowlol
Ultrafag here. I always believed.
compfags are aphantasic
>>58489766Disturbing.
>>58484236They really had fun with his animations. The jptwitter trend of making him do fighting game kick moves has been kino
>>58489766Is this real
>>58493089This one is.
>>58484236Not one of you annoying fags who try to be smug by liking a thing others don’t but I am glad to see some people coming around to Mega Starmie.
>>58491730>Ultrafag hereIs mega barb also an Ultraman reference? I immediately recognized starmie as a Ultraman reference because I am also an SMT fag
>>58486128isn't it fishable in the safari zone?
>>58484236I always liked it. I don't play competitive and didn't realize it was strong until this post.I never cared for starmie so maybe that's why I like it. It's fun. But I can see how starmie fans would hate it for ruining the pokemon.
>>58484236I will never like mega starmie it being good means I'll see it more which will just lead me to hate more than I do now
>>58486391The actual reason is that it's one of the only Pokemon with access to hazard removal that's also fairly fast. It having that, AND decent bulk, AND good typing, AND good coverage pushed it over the edge.
>>58489715SpinLiquidationZen HeadbuttRecover
>>58484236Now that mega starmie has flip turn how good is it competitive like since pivoting is strong in singles? I mostly play doubles so I lack competitive knowledge for singles.
>>58491730>>58493904Mega Starmie Z should just be ultraman belial.
>effective 770 base stat total after factoring in huge power, including mega zygarde will be tied with primordial Groudon / Kyogre for the 5th highest effective base stat in pokemonIt feels like a shitpost. Everyone can see how overpowered it will be from a mile away
>>58496680To put into perspective, this is effectively what Mega Starmie's base stats are.
