I speak for all Mega Scolipede enjoyers when I suggest these buffs/changes for Pokémon Champions>Decrease the 20 points from Sp. Atk 75 > 55 (back to normal)>Move said 20 points back to Spe 62 > 82>Make its mega ability Tinted Lens>and if you wanna say fuck you to its counters (Metal Birds and Air Balloon Ghouldengo), you can always give it access to Temper FlareDo it or we’ll all riot
>WAAAAH I NEED MY HECKIN SPEED WHY DO I HAVE TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT WHEN TO MEGA INSTEAD OF MINDLESSLY CLICKING THE BUTTONgod you retards are so dogshit at these games
>>58536580I'd say we drop the speed even further for more attack then give it glastrier spread lance move but bug type.5 speed 200 atk and moxie.Full trick room cavalry bug.
>>58536580Easily one of the best looking Megas and they go out of their way to try and make it bad, reducing speed by 50 to add 20 to special attack is fucking ridiculous.Mega Scolipede would be a very dangerous sweeper at 82 base speed after a Speed Boost, especially if it got Tinted Lens as a Mega, but 62 speed is so awful, you're not slow or desirable enough for Trick Room and you won't outspeed anything that isn't Tyranitar I guess. The 60 base HP also does you no favors when it comes to being a bulky bug horse.Genuinely abysmal stat redistribution. I get they didn't want Mega Beebrill 2.0, but holy fuck dude.>>58536588Shut up yawnfag, nobody cares.
>>58536622>The 60 base HP also does you no favors when it comes to being a bulky bug horseThis. Everyone knows Toxapex is horrible at being bulky thanks to its 50 base HP.
>>58536628Water/Poison is an amazing defensive type, Toxapex has far superior bulk and a stupid combination of both status spreading moves and Regenerator and Recover for stupid amounts of sustain. False equivalences are retarded and so are you yawnfag.
>>58536643>B-BUT IT DOES THINGS BETTER!!!Yes and Scolipede has drastically more speed and drastically more attack. It's almost as if you should play around the Pokemon's strengths instead of screeching like a retard.
>>58536580>>Mega Chesnaught>nerf its worst stat, don’t buff its second-best stat, distribute the remaining stats and maximize its defensive properties allowing it to become an amazing tank>>Mega Scolipede>nerf its best stat and hurt its pre-existing ability, buff its useless statwho balances these things lmaoSalamence vs Audino-tier balancing
>>58536580Speed is a worthless stat in ZA
>>58536659don’t worry, Scolipede is worthless regardless
>>58536651You have no argument and your bait is weak, I don't even understand why you still waste time making these retarded posts.>>58536654We already have confirmed stats for 3 Megas for the DLC and Gamefreak's retardation is showing, look at what they're doing to Mega Darkrai and Heatran compared to Mega Zeraora.
>>58536671>You have no argumentStop projecting.
>>58536671Heatran and Zeroara look aight. Darkrai might live and die on its ability
>>58536681My point with Heatran is that you give a Mega 175 special attack and you think people will use it's attack stat for anything, those 30 points could have gone to bulk instead, it doesn't get any defense boosts and it loses 10 speed, which doesn't too bad but this makes Heatran critically miss some speed benchmarks against stuff like Kingambit, which really sucks.Mega Darkrai needs a busted ability to not end up being shit.The description hints it might get a version of No Guard or possibly a version of Shadow Tag, I really don't see the point in giving Megas to legendaries if you're just gonna make them shit.
>>58536671>darkrai loses speed to become a slow bulky mixed attackerthey learned nothing from mega garchomp's failureor maybe they were dumb enough to think it just failed because people didn't like its design, which is why they're making another one?
>>58536702>I really don't see the point in giving Megas to legendaries if you're just gonna make them shit.I prefer shit megas for legendaries than another mega fug or the primordial duo.
>>58536737>another mega fugMega Fug is arguably slightly mediocre in VGC now lmao
>>58536771Only slightly...
>>58536715I’m gonna let you in on a secret: not every pokemon is meant to be used competitively at the top level.
>>58536665I’ll just stick with base Scolipede with newly added STAB Gunk Shot for the time being
>>58536651The most it can outspeed at +1 and Jolly is Ogerpon and non-booster Iron Valiant
>>58536580I really hate that they just arbitrarily made some megas worse that they could've been. Even if they minmaxed it fucking Scolipede isn't ever going to be broken because of its poor typing and movepool, just make it not shit and let people have their fun with it
>>58537055Shut up and take your Mega Audino 2.0
>>58537108AHHH WHY CAN'T THE POKEMON I LIKE BE COMPETITIVELY VIABLE
>>58537159You clearly don’t play the game so why do you care?
>>58537174Because I like using my favorites :)
>>58536783Game freak went through the trouble to give the pokemon they worship the most super saiyan shill forms, they clearly want to be competitive in at top level so why shit the bed with Scopipedd’s stats?
>>58537055Scolipede has always been on the verge of being really good in spite of it's type, Gamefreak too special care of making sure Mega Scolipede wasn't a straight up upgrade only to screw it over.Regular Scolipede did get Gunk Shot and U-Turn thanks to ZA, so it's not all bad I guess.....? I dunno man, I'm still not over how horribly they fucked the Megas for some of my favorite Pokemon as well like Mega Malamar due to the awful stats and Feraligatr due to it's hideous design.
>>58537221Imagine how I feel about Pyroar, I love the lions and all I got from this game is the memes of wild lions mauling people in Paris.Wild charge coming from uninvested base 88 atk woo fucking hoo, at least it got earth power.In the case of scolipede they nerfed it a total of 5 speed tiers simply because of speed boost, look at all the cool post galar things it can't out speed with a neutral nature or even a speed+ nature, it was a deliberate and targeted nerf that shows they know what they were doing.
>>58537364I have a fondness for Pyroar too and I hate how they didn't even try, only one design for a Pokemon with sexual dimorphism, said design looks retarded, the kanji idea was just stupid.And they went a step further to make it garbage by putting 20 points into everything instead of even trying to make it good, if Mega Pyroar had 10 more speed and special attack it would actually be fairly dangerous due to getting the jump on and completely destroying Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane. Earth Power is nice, but like, Boomburst would have been amazing, and it wouldn't be unfitting on Pyroar due to how loud lions can roar.It's amazing just how badly they fucked with a lot of Megas in this game, even the DLC already shows they have plans of completely shafting Mega Darkrai by turning it into a slow, bulky mixed attacker, this is in contrast of turning Mega Zeraora into a fast Electric nuke with amazing coverage that will likely get a busted ability.
>>58536628Toxapex at least has the Def and Sp. Def to make up for it. Scolipede doesn't.
>>58537415As you said that's the problem, it's so close to being good, that +20 being in atk instead of speed hinders it too much.Hell even if it was in defense or spdef it would be better.
>>58537440>dignifying a yawnfag variant with a responseshiggydiggy retard
>>58537415>>58537415I have no dog in this fight. My respect for Game Freak and Pokemon fandom is in the shitter and I no longer care about the main series or the battle to the point where I don't even play showdown anymore. that being said, while I hate Pokemon fans on principle, and Pyroar is a nothing pokemon for me due to being one of the blandest fire types ever, (though admittedly consider some my own favs i'm throwing stone from a glass house with the bland fire type comment). I have no reason to want the single digit of Pyroar fans in particular to suffer, ad hey maybe ifs its mega was cool it would warm me up to Pyroar. I say this because I had less than no expectations, I actively had negative expectations and I'm still disappointed. What could they have possibly been thinking with that sorry excuse for a stat spread. It can't even be thematic because Glalie as all its stat the same since its round but its Mega is allowed to have specialization. >only one design for a Pokemon with sexual dimorphismthat gets me even more than the laughable stat spread, ignoring the nothing design it got, why to the genders have the same design, the entire point of mega is to exaggerate the core concept of the pokemon and the gender dimorphism was one of the only interesting things about Pyroar and the mega just throws it away >t's amazing just how badly they fucked with a lot of Megas in this gameit honestly feels like ZA megas were made to be shit on purpose, but then I remember that while Game Freak love being lazy, and love spitefully trolling their fans, Game Freak's biggest sin has always been incompetence rater than outright sloth or malice. >Earth PowerI REALLY hate the pile on, but there's a chance Pyroar might not even get to keep that. It could have only gotten it in PLZA because of battles working differently. Iirc many Pokemon in PLA got moves but lost them in SV.
