Which of the leaked DLC Megas are you expecting/hoping to see unveiled on the 19th?
>>58634368Lucario, the rest should be saved to surprise the player, especially Garchomp.
>>58634368will /vp/ have a melty when mega meowstic-m and mega meowstic-f look identical?
Needs to be something popular but not too obvious. My bet is on Darkrai
>>58634377Like pyroar and their stupid mega
>>58634376Lucario should be saved for Korrina battle reveal imo. Out of the 3 double megas, absol makes the most sense to reveal first. Agreed that garchomp should be a surprise
>>58634377isn't everyone already expecting this
>>58634377depends on if the mega is fitting for both forms like Gigantimax Toxtricity or if it's clearly designed for one form like Pyroar and the other just goes through a sex change every time they mega
>>58634368Staraptor so we can get the "are you better than me" "I've never met you but yes" with mega pidgeot
Tatsugiri as the funny/novel Mega, Golisopod as the cool Mega that's locked behind ranked.
Something that isnt in the leak to make everyone extra spooked. Or heatran. Heatran needs something to get people hyped about him.
>>58634368I want to see the pepper and the sushi
im horrified for how they will butcher my guy darkrai...... hes my favorite legendary/ mythic
>>58634610He loses speed and gains bulk, so that'll probably be reflected in the design
>>58634619I have a feeling it will be a jellyfish/ octopus or some shit or some type of boldore design. im not excited at all.
>>58634368Most of these feel like if they didn't reveal them first they're not gonna reveal them in a trailer. Like if lucario is in fact getting something that would have been the first reveal not raichu or chimecho. I could see one legendary being shown off though.
>>58634610Calling it now, his mega design will have his legs from the movie somehow
>>58634610
>>58634619>85It's going to be another Mega Garchomp situation, isn't it.
>>5863461985 speed for darkrai is so fucking brutal that the only thing that saves it is some souped up version of compound eyes so it can hit its dark voids. without the sleep stuff its just a bulky special dark type, which isnt super valuablebut then it loses bad dreams anyway which defeats the whole pointas for the others, zeraora looks decent but points are wasted going into>mixed attackerheatran looks very solid (also the only one of these thats actually going to be vgc-legal). 175 spatk and 91/106/141 bulk is very respectable. 67 is another awkward speed tier but it has the bulk to make it work. probably going to like scarf or fit into TR teams for non-TR matchups
>>58634654loos lie that guy from that new anime. dandadan or something. not a huge fan desu.
>>58634692Darkrai isn't VGC legal anyway since it's a Mythical
>>58634712It's funny, they're so very obviously balancing it for the notion of "wait, being able to sleep both opponents in one turn with one move? That's OP though!" in VGC doubles, but it's literally never going to see use until the obligatory "Mythicals unbanned" regulation, by which that point everyone will just use Arceus, and Megas like Rayquaza will be available.
>>58634712>Darkrai isn't VGC legal anyway since it's a Mythicaldid you just not read the post youre replying to?>also the only one of these thats actually going to be vgc-legalregardless, it probably will be legal for a while at some point, both swsh and now sv have had mythical formats
>>58634368Will it be good or will it be shit? Both design wise and stat wise. Also, what ability do you think it will be getting?
>>58634762I can't see how they could fuck up Glimmora, every stat to anything other than attack will make it better, unless they dump a shit-ton on the attack or give some useless ability... but then again they gave Sceptile Lighting rod and tried to push for a mixed attacker, decreased chomps speed and gave Audino healer so anything is possible.
>>58634762Given Glimmora's weird ties to Area Zero/Tera Crystals that never really got followed up on it's be really fucking funny if they did it AGAIN and made it resemble the Ultimate Weapon/Ange with no further explanation
>>58634785Chomp's speed would be an acceptable sacrifice, if the ability wasn't Sand Force.
>>58634785>dump a shitton on the attackIt's already min-maxed 1.6x the level of Darkrai's attack stats, Nintendo is stupid but not that stupid, my real fear isWhat if they make it slower and justify that change based on it getting bigger and bulkier just like they did with Garchomp and how they are going to do with Heatranny and Darkrai
>>58634654this isnt real faggot there is no way they made him look this dumb.
>>58634801I mean, it's just the rock equivalent of a bottom feeder. It feeding on the mega crystals that started showing up around kalos seems perfectly reasonable.I guess I'm just still curious on what people wanted from it, like what major reveal were people expecting for glimmora that totally didn't happen because gamefreak are hacks?
>>58634785Huge Power
>>58634368Please don't be Crabominable or a gen 9 pokemon>>58634762It's going to be bad and the fans will pretend it's good.
Are we also getting Mewtwo on the 19th alongside the trailer like we did with Diancie?
>>58634889darkrai absol makes most sense.... because I said so.
>>58634869tbdesu I mostly got over it years ago, helps that Glimmora's plenty cool on it's own so I can just appreciate it for what it is rather what it isn't. I just thought the scenario would be funny
>>58634377We already know they will. It's a matter of whether the mega design looks good or not.
>>58634914based on the last few absolutely not.
>>58634377I mean both Lati@s being carbon copies was & still is retarded enough so M-Meow won't bother me at all
>>58634619GameFreak’s absolute staunch insistence on ALWAYS squandering 20-30 of the 100 points in the lesser attacking stat for EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MEGA is beyond infuriating.What is the logic behind it? What sort of person would ever think this is a good and fun idea? Who the fuck on earth is in charge of these stat distributions, and how can we kill them as quickly and painfully as possible?
>>58634985Darkrai gets Knock Off, Sucker Punch, and Drain Punch, so it could actually make use of the Attack boost
>>58634692It's not like Zeraora really needs the stats to go anywhere else. It's not so much a "mixed attacker" as it is viable as either a physical attacker or special attacker
>>58634988I dont even care about the moveset just how it looks.
inb4 the reason Darkrai is slower because it doesn't float anymore and walks on its legs
Hope they show the new Mega Garchomp/Lucario/Absol so I can see weeks of unspoiled hopeposting for new Megas on mons with shitty Megas.Seeing cope that Mega Feraligatr is only shit because the actually cool one will be in the DLC will be fun.
>Megas megas megasJust add more cross gen evos instead of megashit.
>>58635020Getting a Lysander vibe from the way he stands
>>58634985Gamefreak is allergic to making Megas that have even a semblance of complete optimization, so they have to put at least a little bit of that 100 into the dumpstat(s). In addition, they also have to make sure that wittle Timmy who doesn't know how stats work can still have his Mega Chandelure do a bit more damage with Flame Wheel. Method of balancingshi, prease understandu.
>>58634762give it Terapagos's ability for the bit
>>5863498595% (probably more) of players don't know what base stats are. They pick the guy they like and use the guy to hit the other guy.
>>58635127>Tera Shell GlimmoraWould be funny, but I dunno if RestTalk with STABs would be any good.
>>58635051Next gen
>>58634654the lighting effects for megas in za looks so bad. they didn't have them in gen 6 or 7, nor did they in art...megas aren't dynamax or tera, they're so unnecessary. i can''t even tell what the fuck is going on in this picture.
>>58635147It would let you miss a Meteor Beam for free at least.
>>58634577>Something that isnt in the leak to make everyone extra spookedNot happening, anon. This is what we're getting.
>>58635150I think it's to denote that Megas don't last forever in Z-A, they're on a timer
>>58635096i think committing some of the points to the dumpstat to prevent powercreep and so little timmy still sees some imrpovement on his physical chandelure when he megas is honestly fairthe latter is very arbitrary though, since they could just not standardise the boost at 100 and do, say, 70, and not put 30 into the dumpstat. i also dont buy they want to avoid hyperoptimised mons when>55/55/55/135/135/135existsso i guess really we need to think of mega evolution as a 100 point boost, but a 70 point boost with an extra 30 for little timmys sake
Garchomp will be saved for Cynthias return
>>58634712why do the waste Megas on mons that are restricted to hell and back, the only megas that make sense on that matter are the ones plot related.
I’m guessing>Either Staraptor, Golisopod or Crabominable. Chimecho and Baxcalibur felt like they were shown off first since Hoenn and Paldea had no new Megas in base game. Sinnoh and Alola had only one so showing off a new one makes sense. Leaning less to Golisopod since it was confirmed to return>Then a Z Mega for the last trailer to confirm they exist
>>58634368Absol
>>58635096If fans had full control of Pokemon stat spreads, we'd only ever see 3 stat spreads1/255/1/1/1/2551/1/1/255/1/255255/1/255/1/255/1
>>58634368Assuming we're doing a double revealThey should reveal one small and one big(though I guess big and small are subjective)I vote Staraptor and Lucario as the reveals Wednesday
>>58635540These are terrible stat spreads that would render the pokemon uselessThe first two die to priority moves or entry hazardsAnd the last one is completely useless in a post toxic and seismic toss worldthough I guess Body Press would make them busted against anything that's not a ghost.
>>58635396That didn't stop them from giving Mega Dragonite -10 Attack or Scolipede -50 Speed
>>58634985Mega Chesnaught exists. Somehow.
>>58635663Scolipede was done out of sheer fear of speed boost.Although I wouldn't put it past them to do something stupid like giving fishious rend to sharpedo or making a poison/bug type clone of it and this being their attempt at balancing it on scolipede.
>>58634368Hoping non of the repeats. Any would doI think they'll probably show a mythical/legendary, since there are so many, but that will probably be in the third trailerFor this one I'm betting on Staraptor and Tatsugiri. A mix of the older mon and one of the most recent
>>58634368it will be lucario Z
>>58634368The only megas I really care to see are Golurk and Garchomp, so hopefully it's one of those.
>>58636162imagine not wanting to see darkrai. Shit taste anon. Shit taste.
>>58634368>No mega FlygonWhat were they thinking
>>58636192much like with Eevee they aren't confident they can make a design that isn't already out there from fan artists so they just quit, we almost had a flying eeveelution in Alola before they tabled it because of that through you could also believe GF is just lazy as fuck and eevee line is popular without adding more and they don't give a fuck about Flygon
I’m betting on either Absol or Lucario for the first one, and either Golurk or Crabominable for the second one. And since the last two were actually pretty sweet, I’m expecting one if not both to be ugly as sin and cause a giant shitstorm.
>>58634368A regional bird getting a mega seems almost weirder than the legends, but then I remembered Pidgeot has one. I think we'll see either Golurk or Lucario
How do you make this guy good? Is it so bad that it will get a Mega Mawile treatment
>>58636418Add +100 to speed
>>58634368Wtf are these choices. None of these fuckers except the two dragons have HP stats above 100. It's all going to be the Mega Aagron situation if they keep making bulky Megas.
>>58636455Bulky Megas with bad HP stats CAN work, they just have to be given the tools to do so. Mega Sableye is proof of that.
>>58636468Mega Sableye had one good year and that year was when Big 6 was tearing the Meta. Even then, it was a niche pick because regular Sableye is a good support. Even then, why would anyone waste a Mega slot on Sableye when Smergle shat on it.
Sorry to drive this home, but Gholdengo and Incineroar fills Mega Sableye's role better without a Mega Stone. Incineroar is a better than Taunter and Intimidate is more reliable than Will o Wisp. Gholdengo has more versatility and is defensively better.
>>58636429hell yeahturn it into a rocket with a big fist on the end
>>58634368glimmora
>>58634692>probably going to like scarf...anon
>>58634368I really really really hope the changed mega Darkrai’s stat spread from the one that was leaked
>>58634619Look how hard they sucked zeraora’s cock compared to the other twoWhat the fuck is that
>>58634692>zeraora looks decentDecent? It’s literally stronger than base deoxys while not having paper defensesIt will get banned 100%
>>58634619It's just a shittier Ash Greninja
>>58637163>faster>hits harder>bulkier>"shittier"Marge I’m confused what did the anonymous person mean by this
>>58637166>t. Retard that thought Mega Pokemon can hold scarfShittier Ash Greninja with less coverage and stab.
>>58637156He's cuter.
>>58637170Sure it had no item slot but uhAsh greninja and deoxys have no abilityWatch as zeraora gets transistor or some shit like that
>>58637176Or it keeps Volt Absorb
>>58637182>gets a free switch in and slightly weaker regenerator if you’re able to predict an electric move I don’t think it would mind that actually
>>58637190Lightning Rod and Motor drive are better abilities for it, but I guess furries will be satisfied with anything
>>58637199Lightning Rod would make it even more unstoppable, motor drive would probably be overkill but it’d allow it to invest in bulk a bitIn any case it’s gonna get banned to uber and I wish game freak cared as much about the Darkrai and Heatran as they do ZeraoraLike yeah bro let’s only buff Heatran’s special defense it’s not like the main threat to it is eq spam or anything and uh yeah nerf its speed for good measure And uuuhh turn Darkrai into a tank with 70 hp kthanks
>>58637228>uberDon't play fanfic meta when you can play with Flutter Mane all you want.
>>58637154Does it really need 150+ speed though?
>>58634368They'll definitely pick something to drum up hype before attention wanes.Question is, what would make the normies cream themselves?Do we really think they'll announce a Mythical?I don't think so, that stuff is definitely gonna be saved for a later date After the DLC is released.Garchomp and Lucario are pretty normie tier, maybe Golisopod, people like him right?Alternatively Tatsugiri might go for an unexpected, epic cool design, and that could be a way to drum up attention>look, we turned this little guy into a sushi themed RayquazaI personally wanna see what they have in store for Golurk.
>>58634368>It aimed for the top but got lost and ended up on a snowy mountain. Being forced to endure the cold, this Pokémon evolved and grew fur.I think Mega Crabominable will just become Mega Crabrawler, it only initially evolved because a fuckup from its part
>>58634619H-He is fast!
>>58637355I hope so. I like Crabrawler way more than its evolution.
>>58634376>>58634386>>58635415Garchomp will be Volo
>>58637373Kino
>>58636418You'd have to subtract from special attack, something like>+35 Attack>+30 Defense>-25 Special Attack>+30 Special Defense>+30 Speed
>>58637113oh right lol
>>58634368Given that there were more than 20 new stones in the trailer, and this leak only has 18 Pokémon in it, I’d be happy if they showed off something that hasn’t leaked yet.
Why is Darkrai receiving a mega but no Cresselia?
>>58636418Swap its Attack and Sp attack then boost all stats but Attack. Its special movepool is massive
>>58638339Why is Slowbor receiving a mega but no Slowking?
>>58634368I was expecting Scovillain to not even be included in the Z-A dex so I'm curious about him the most
>>58636293That excuse is worthless considering they took a look at the final designs for Mega Feraligatr, Mega Starmie and Mega Pyroar, greenlit all of those despite the 3 being dogshit and then proceeded to make the conscious choice of giving Garchomp a second Mega. They just weren’t assed enough to give Flygon anything new.
>>58634368Golisopod always makes me think about ya boi guzma, i wish he could show up in ZA with the mega
>>58640346Miss the dude
Are they really going to skip one week in the DLC news and marketing cycle because of a random movie?
>>58640424Absolutely retarded predictionWhy would they reveal an obscure and almost unobtainable pokemon getting a mega?That would be the wettest fart possible for a dedicated prerelease reveal.
>>58640457Yep, little over 7 hours from now
>>58640452Unfortunately, the source for Zeraora being today’s reveal has very high accuracy and reliability (was also the original source of Chimecho and Baxcalibur being the reveals for the previous trailer)
>>58640465I cope that it's not a standalone reveal, because that's retarded
>>58640484I know people will go >fake and gayBut I can confirm that this source leaked/teased the Smeargle and Snorlax in the Pokopia trailer before it released; I definitely remember one tweet teasing the Tangrowth as well Unfortunately these tweets are now all deleted, but I’m trusting this sourceThis same source teased Korrina/Baxcalibur/Chimecho before anyone else and is more or less confirming Zeraora is today’s only reveal
>>586356501000 elo non-player take
>>58640498Well that's a boring reveal never cared for zeraora, pretty disappointing
>>58634368Wasting 3 slots on tatsugiri is criminal. Even more knowing that all 3 will share the one identical mega. That could have been ANY mon. It could have been your favorite>inb4 but tatsugiri is my favoriteNo it fucking isn't! You don't exist
>>58640424>community meltdownWhat does this mean?
>>58640169>conscious choice of giving Garchomp a second Mega.Sorry to tell you this But giving Garchomp a new mega is 100% the right call why bother with lame pokemon when you can focus on the actual cool ones like garchump and Lucario? also who gives a shit about Fylgon? such a nothing pokemon
>>58640534Let me try and present a bit more evidence, as far as I’m aware, this source was the very first one to hint at/leak Baxcalibur and Chimecho reveals. They also changed their PFP and profile pic to be Korrina-themed at the same time (hinting at her in the trailer too)They also said right after that that the Hoenn starter mega stones are the next ranked season rewards after Baxcalibur (this isn’t confirmed yet)Again unfortunately all these tweets are deleted now, but I recovered these after doing some trawling
>>58640538>one identical megaThe fact that they have dedicated stones tells me they will, infact, not have "identical mega"'s.If them being separated is infact true, then each of them will definitely be extending their concepts to different extremes.Let's look at their notable differences when eaten>Curly Form raises Attack>Droopy Form raises Defense>Stretchy Form raises SpeedI think they will reflect this same ideaOffensive Orange, probably covered in spikes 'n shitDefensive Pink, definitely a fat fuckAnd Fast AF Yellow, Loooooooonnnnnnng tooorrrpeeedooo
>>58640589>>58640589Cont’d: This time, I was able to screenshot pics of their tweets teasing Mega Zeraora’s design (they don’t seem to like it all that much)
>>58640614I fucking hate riddlesDo leakers do this shit for some sort of plausible deniability bullshit?
>>58634368I think he's cool. Even after the absolute abortions that were the first round of ZA megas, I'm interested to see what they'll do with Heatran.Oh, and I'm hoping Absol is sexy.
>>58640614And lastly, what he said about the Lucario and Zeraora designs, he doesn’t seem to like either lolLet’s treat this as this source’s reliability test, if today’s reveal is only Zeraora and it looks like what he teased in those deleted tweets I screengrabbed, this should confirm the source’s reliability (although I believe it after the Pokopia Smeargle/Snorlax teases)
>>58640624And believe it or not, some of his recent tweets were meltdowns over supposed hate for being too cryptic and too much like Khu; what an attention whore (even though his account is private); why are leakers like this?
>>58640633Jesus fucking Christ zoomers are fucked in the head.
>>58640614I dont trust leakers describing designs after how retarded they sounded describing the ZA megas.
>>58640585Lastly for real, this tweet from him was the source of that “community meltdown” bit as far as I know, what this means idk since new mega Zard is not happening, maybe this means Zard will be used as a bait and switch for that final mega reveal before the DLC release? Again, today’s reveal should further confirm the source’s reliability, since he already got Baxcalibur, Chimecho, Korrina and Smeargle + Snorlax in Pokopia trailer right
>>58640638I thought those ended up being pretty spot-on?
>>58640640> new mega Zard is not happeningWhy not? We know all the DLC megas because game freak left them in the ZA data because they’re filthy sluts who like being leaked But what’s stopping them from giving CHARIZARD Z out in Champions?
>>58640649They were telephone descriptions, they had bits and pieces, but the full picture was just wrong
>>58640649They had difficulty describing Malamar and Eelektross when they could simply say "supervillian with big brain" and "Eelektross with windsocks made of muscus"
Do you think the Mega Tatsus will still trigger Commander?
>>58640772No he will gain the rank of Master which will work with all Pokemon.
>>58637355I have a feeling its going to be a box crab, its pincers grew out of control and became giant shields, and it'll get a fat boost to its defense.
Are we excited for Mega Zeraora reveal soon
>>58640614So his reliability is more or less confirmed
Honestly I'll take this "powered up"/lazy route than concepts executed poorly like Megagatr.
>>58641476Aye
>>58641476Honestly same. The mega is kinda lame but better than gatr
I don’t hate it. It’s lazy but it’s not actually a bad design. If Mega Charizard X had released today, /vp/ would react to it how they are reacting to this Mega now.
>>58640538We know from the form data that there are enough scrubbed form slots that indicate all 3 Tatsugiri forms will have their own mega design But I don’t know why there are more slots than is necessary for Curly Form + 3 megas…. unless Tatsugiri is somehow getting a fourth form + mega? Curly form, fourth form, and 4 mega designs for each form would fit the 6 scrubbed slots, but why would curly form be scrubbed in the first place? And Matt never mentioned a fourth Tatsugiri form in the data…. but this could line up?
>>58640633Just give it straight what the new pocket monsters will look like little zoom-zoom. Nintendo will have you lynched and imprisoned for life regardless of how cryptic you try to be, and being an attention-whore will only bring more eyes from Nintendo’s law team onto you.
>>58640586>"why bother with lame Pokemon">Game Freak still gives Pyroar of all things a Mega (albeit a shitty one) and then tries to push their failed and universally-considered-to-be-forgettable shillmon attempt in Zeraora harder with its own new Mega>Calling Flygon lame in the first placelol
>>58642277Pyroar got a mega because it was used as griselle's ace. Simple as that. It's probably not their first choice but after creating Griselle they realized they needed to give her an ace so why not pyroar which adds to the # of kalos megas
>>58634619Why the FUCK do darkrai and heatran gain 30 attack
>>58643167Their physical movepools are pretty solid desu but GF always wastes some stats on mons its just how it is
>>58642296Also, Griselle's Pyroar is male and the design leans more towards the male
