What's the difference from regular Golisopod lol
Machampbros...Barbaraclebros...
>>58718789Simultaneously lazy and coolLooks like an alien doom boss
>>58718789That's kind of underwhelming.
>>58718789bruh
>>58718801Many a non-hinderance ability
>>58718789He better not fucking escape at half health this time.
>>58718789>Gosliopod but tripodI mean I guess. At least it isn't bad
>>58718789>I put my armor on show you how strong I aaaaaaaam
>>58718789Star wars looking ass>>58718801It got another set of legs and hands
>>58718789I think it would've been cool if instead of claws it had machine guns
>>58718789Lame
>>58718801>Samurai>Samurai on a horse
Robopod is sick
>>58718801It used to have two pairs of small arms. Looks like one became another set of arms and another became another set of legs. Also it’s gray now hahah
>>58718789The samurott killer
>>58718789why does it have rickets
>>58718817
>>58718817>inb4 Ability: Tactical Retreat
>>58718789Please dont have emergency exit pleaseThe design is alright, og pod is still my favorite pokemon design though
Ah shit, they're gonna make it so that Golisopod itself can't switch. Like a reverse Shadow Tag.
>>58718845He's manspreading
>>58718789I expected more
>>58718848>>58718817Maybe he will escape at the end of the turn
>>58718789That's awful.
>another Bug/Water type loses the Water type
>>58718789Bug steel is such bullshit
>>58718789>Bug/SteelNo. I don't care that it's typing is better defensively now. I want it to be Bug/Water.

>>587190143 legs
>>58718817>>58718847>>58718848It's gonna get Anger Shell. Screencap this.>>58718867I feel like Emergency Exit was going to work like that before they realized how busted that could be.
Is mega golisopod going to roll up into a ball? It is based off of a roly poly/isopod so was it intentional that it looks like a droideka >>58718825
>>58718789> bulky Bug / Steelif this thing gets bullet punch and a non-sht ability, we will never see scizor again
I have a feeling this is going to get skill link
>>58718989>Redditroon
>>58718801Its face is a Y now
>>58718789Metagross-Organic Form
>>58718789Now give it Water Bubble
>>58718880Mega Aggron but more offensive
>>58719049it doesn't get bullet punchor reliable recoverynobody will use this when mega scizor exists sadlyshould've stayed bug/water then it might at least have a niche
>>58718789This shit will actually be broken if it doesn't have emergency exitEmergency exit is the only thing keeping base golisopod from being good
>>58718867Please please PLEASE I fucking pray so. Golisopod is pracitcally forced to run nothing but priority or else get forced out and worn down by entry harazards (no heavy duty boots with the mega stone, but at least it's not weak to stealth rocks or toxic spikes with the steel typing.)But maybe mega golisopod is JUST bulky enough that the average attack won't do 51% damage
>>58719080> higher HP, Def, SpDef than mega scizor> First Impression> Strong water coverage and priority for fire switch-insI think there are plenty of reasons to use this over mega scizor
>>58719006>Akireddit
>>58718789It’s fucking droideka
>>58719080>it doesn't get bullet punchIt gets first impression >or reliable recoveryYou know Scizor doesn't have roost anymore right?And Golisopod gets leech life
>>58718880Can't have it resist Charizard now can we.
>>58718880+10 hufflepuff spa Why
His legs have evolved
>>58719110People here are autists remember, they want it to be bug/water because they want a mega bug/water type because of type autism that infects the board and fanbase.Same reason people flip their shit if a monotype stays monotype, type autism.I've run the calcs and even with no ability this thing rocks. Its not going to be some crazy oppressive metagame threat (like the overtuned 151 speed Z megas), but it completely shrugs off big moves from some of the biggest physical attackers in the game right now, and it's attack pretty easily 2HKOs even relatively bulky mons, meaning you dont really have time to whittle it down.If it still has EE its garbo though.
>>58719140>"I have become Centaur father."
>>58719121what makes scizor good is that it can swords dance and then clean house with bullet punchgolisopod can't do that because first impression only works turn 1 and aqua jet is nonstab and not boosted by ability
>>58719147Give it Supreme overlord and sht's over
>>58719147>[unprompted schizophrenic headcanon]is there an easier way to spot a samefag than him agreeing with himself over shit literally nobody ever said?
>>58718821Dis nigga can't rotate apples in his mind
>>58719110>significantly slower than scizor which actually matters a lot because many defensive pokemon will naturally outspeed it and make its life hard>first impression is unreliable and doesn't work on boosting sets>boosting sets are actually pretty much unplayable considering it doesn't get setup-compatible priority>has to actively go mega to obtain its bug/steel typing, meaning you can get caught with your pants down when you need to switch into it to check a fairy or poison or something and it just gets blasted for neutral damage because you didn't get the chance to mega yeti dunno man
>>58719192The real dream is tinted lens. That shit would be revenge killing everything
>>58718789The face pic got my hopes up. Fuck this damn company bruh...
>>58719242eh, it only works for lokix because it has secondary stab priority to fall back on against quad bug resists which are actually quite common.
I don’t like it
>>58719010>Xenoreddit Chronicles
>>58719241I'm a trick room god, the lower speed is just a plus.
>>58718789What the fuck did they do to my boy! Please Please PLEASE tell me his stats are good. Don’t tell me Gamefreak fucked up his stats too.
>>58719277if you're running trick room in doubles i can't imagine using your mega slot on something that doesn't get spread movesand trick room has literally never been good in singles outside of the very few pokemon that both set it and abuse it all by themselves like reuniclus and stakataka
>>58719284HP: 75Attack: 150Defense: 175Sp. Attack: 70Sp. Defense: 120Speed: 40
>>58718827It can learn Pin Missile.
>>58719140>steel type>four strong bulky legs Watch him get a meme ability that makes him unaffected by moves like roar
>>58719339>ability now locks you into battle, mega golisopod refuses to ever back down and CANNOT be switched outwatch this happen
>>58719300>trick room has literally never been good in singlesTrick room is literally one of the top OU strategies right now
>>58719301That’s actually kinda close to the stat spread I give him awhile back. Nice to that I was somewhat close to the mark.
>>58719367it's really, really not. trick room is barely even anti-meta and inherently relies on people not being prepared for trick room teams. there's always some goober who tops ladder with his cheese build and then hundreds of people copy it and none of them do well because when more than one person is using the cheese it stops being fresh.
>>58718825>Star wars looking assMy exact first thought.
>>58719300Spread moves aren't the end all be all in doubles, but you're right, it isn't worth the mega slot in doubles, but neither is mega scizor.
>All the good megas are locked behind a paywallOh I see how it is GF
>>58719422>he didn't learn after VGC being completely pay to win with calyrexlol?
>>58718892>Tepig used ember
>>58719353Would be KINO desu
>>58718892PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA
>>58719140What a lame and lazy Mega, but that's just ZA Megas in a nutshell honestly
>>58719629Abilities for megas aren't in ZA's code retard, it's just using the base abilities of the Pokemon in it's non mega-evolved state
Anyone know if normal Golisopod has Emergency Exit built-in like Aegislash's Stance Change?
It's cool I guess, but I think Golisopod had a great silhouette/body shape and this sorta takes away from it.
>>58719140neathe can escape at 75% hp with those extra legs
>>58719113Friereddit: Beyond Reddit's End
>>58719140I can't believe someone got paid money to stick extra legs on Golisopod and call it a day, that's so fucking funny.Like imagine all the people who graduate from art school and pour hours and hours into their portfolios only to end up serving coffee meanwhile this guy is just sticking extra legs on stuff.
>>58720121>not my problem
>>58719140Are the top arms supposed to be missile launchers? What's its Pokédex entry
>>58718789Why did they turn him into a star wars beetle droid?
>>58720397Yeah. I saw a video that had it in motion and it literally shoots its nails out like a gun. Pretty kino desu.
>>58718789Well, at least they didn’t ruin it.That barely did anything with it.
>>58718789>It's actually got 4 legshttps://x.com/UniteVids/status/1998658416315957498I hope that means no emergency exit, if it's being stationary with 4 legs like this it wont wimp out
>>58718789THE UPPER ARMS ARE ROCKET LAUNCHERS.Ok, now it's good.
>>58720428>its new ability stops it from switching outK-Kino...
>>58720428>>58720450Why the FUCK did they turn the samurai bug into a mechadroid?
>>58720463Because the original design was already perfect so instead of iterating on it, they went for something else.
>>58720463It worked for genesect
>loses the water-typingI hate this.
>>58720421Kino, it's unironically growing on me now
>>58718789WE'VE GOT DROIDEKAS
>>58720473I mean the OG is still usable, even better since people will think you're gonna mega
>>58720463Because Game Freak are creatively bankrupt
>>58720463Who doesn’t like droideka’s?
>>58718789>>58720428So technically speaking, it's a spider now.>>58718825Neat.
>>58719140>>58718789While I'm disappointed since they changed basically nothing, I have no idea how you could even improve Golispod's design since it looks so complete and powerful already, so I'm just glad they didn't give it a stupid looking mega, hooray for Stockholm syndrome
>>58720428Anon... the extra legs are so it can run away even faster
>based pokemon>gets mega>mega is also based>bug/steelWHY
>>58720428How retarded are you Yankee doodle fucks?Can you people not rotate apples in your mind?How does it feel being smooth brained?Look at the position of the third leg, see how it's off to one side? What does that suggest, he has 2 legs on one side and 1 on the other?Good god my man
>>58718789>dude haha just give more leg(tired eyes) ...waow. thanks.
>>58720797More legs AND more arms, thank you very much
>>58720800Technically less arms since it had 6
Bug/Steel is a good typing. Why are you fags mad?
>>58720881Fine, more USEABLE arms.
>>58718789Is that a droid?>>58718825Yes it is.I love it, as long as it has a non hindering ability there's potential.
>>58720885Erm, how do you define usable? They could clearly move around and such before.
>>58720882Because so is bug/water and it doesn't have bullet punch technician
>>58720397It may get skill link, seems to have access to pin missile and rock blast.
>>58720892Not everything needs priority, this pokemon already abused it well enough that bullet punch feels like a waste here.
It's growing on me.
>>58720899It's not about priority. It's about it getting one shot before moving or forced out and doing nothing if they once again cuck it with a dogshit ability. You don't actually care about a proper comparison you just want to blindly defend the decision. All of that bulk and sustain means nothing if a single fire attack is gonna ohko it. Lastly I I find it funny that you downplay priority like it's entire gimmick isn't based around First Impression.
What's the dex entry?
>>58719071>Droideka are known for having bubble shields>This is a throwback to it's water type>It also reduces fire attacks against it's only bug/steel weaknessGamefreak wouldn't dare do something so flavorful
>>58718789https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9S6wEemX84
>>58718789Ooh, armored core.
>>58720940Hidden power has been gone for ages, if something has a fire move and survives the switch in, simply switch out.Fucking forretress used to be good. This thing is way bulkier and hits like a truck.
>>5872094060 BP does jack shit that aqua jet or sucker punch weren't doing already.Priority is overrated.
>>58718789Someone at GF likes tetrapods.
>>58720973Other than salty jedis I don't see why someone would dislike them.
What Steel moves does it get? Iron Head, Heavy Slam, Gyro Ball and maybe Metal Claw I'll guess?
>>58718835>”Guess I’ll be a Centaur”
>>58718892>redditard gif + misinfokys
>>58720940You're thinking about this in a vacuum, you know you can switch out to something that can resist Fire right? Or better yet something with Flash Fire.I don't really dig the type change either (from a thematic perspective) but gameplay wise it offers flexibility, being Bug/Steel means you're no longer weak to Stealth Rock/Immune to Toxic spikes, which was a problem for something like Golisopod who gets switched in/out a lot. You could even use it in a rain-team, and you have the choice of using a high power rain-boosted STAB Liquidation, or mega evolve and have the rain cover your fire weakness and still enjoy rain boosted water coverage.
>>58720989>just iron head and metal claw (thus far)Kinda weird since Heavy Slam is in game. Oh well it's not like Scizor uses Steel much.
>>58718789>Even gets Genji Armor nowIt's fucking Gilgamesh
>>58718789Yeah, this is definitely one of the worst megas
>>58718825It already had 8 limbs, they're just rearranged.
>>58720473>>58718888>Signature bug move>Has buffed Leech Life for sustain>Ace of a Bug trainerIt always relied on Bug attacks more than Water attacks. Araquanid was the opposite due to it’s Water Bubble ability
>>58721153Far from. Heatran, Darkrai, and the pepper are so much fucking worse. This is lazy and inoffensive at worst, which I will gladly take over the quirky type of design.
>>58718801It hyas a worse color scheme....that's about it
>>58720424>Well, at least they didn’t ruin it.They did thoughIf they were gonna change the colors they could at least done it in an aesthetically pleasing way.If they wanted to convey metal they could have used some blue-ish grey instead of dark grey...
>>58721259Those are better for the mere fact they actually look different
>>58721259Those are better for the fact they look different and not a barely altered model
>>58718892Still a huge pussy ass bitch
>>58719241>>has to actively go mega to obtain its bug/steel typing, meaning you can get caught with your pants downAlso means he's weak to rocks and can be toxic spiked until he megas
>>58721153>Yeah, this is definitely one of the worst megasit is literally the only mega evolution that I have liked in the history of the franchise
>>58721100>not like Scizor uses Steel much
More like GOY-li-SLOPE
Pros:>Becomes a fucking turret>MASSIVE First Impressions>Fantastic stats get even better>Doesn't care about anything but Fire>Stronger/bulkier M-Scizor in every wayCons:>Without FUCK YOU damage Steel is bad>No Boots means so much hazard chip>Bug still just the worst for coverage>Loses Water STAB against Fires>Key resistances thrown awayI'M SO CONFLICTED AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>58721389It's not weak to pebbles anymore so you're not as reliant on boots. Even better if it doesn't have the eject ability anymore too
>>58721389Whoops, meant this pic
>>58721397>No more Emergency ExitYou don't know that!
>>58718789Not great but at least it's not a shitty meme design
>>58718789Supreme Overlord or Water Bubble. Those are the only abilities I accept. He better get one of two.
watch it get stamina and be fucking nuts
>>58721667Watch it get Technician.
>>58718841>Both even fight on four legsKEK
>>58721655Only 2x weak to fire and can't be burned is insane without mentioning the built in huge power for water moves
>>58721655Tough Claws is better than Supreme Overlord in almost any situation. I doubt you'll ever run special moves on M-Golisopod.
>>58721655No Tinted Lens?
>Gets Skill Link>Pin Missle for good damage>Spike Cannon becomes Steel typeIt's retarded enough to be plausible, but plzgib Water Bubble
>>58722393skill link would be too similar to mega heracross, who has better coverage with rock blast/bullet seed/arm thrust anyways.
I hope it gets Guts so i can throw it into random Scalds/Wisps and start dealing giganigga damage
>>58722424Golisopod only has one weakness so it can Swords Dance on more things
>>58718789>They're-a no match for Droid-Ekaz
>>58721431Anon is right, it has Tactical Retreat now
>>58718789She's still wearing the pussy flap
>>58720889Those weak looking noodles do ANYTHING? Come on anon.
>>58721272>>58721282>dramatically changing a design = automatically betterBraindead take
>>5871930175HP isn't great, but the stats are good in Trick Room.
>>58722592>Both get Water moves When you think about it, this dude is Mega Escavalier
>>58718789>bug/steelmy brain didn't even register that it might have a different type so I spent the whole side mission spamming grass moves on it wondering why it was so tanky
>>58718789Ruined…Wtf bros….
>>58718789I already miss the Bug/Water typing
Should've been bug rock if they wanted you change type
>>58722724It’s not Gen 1 anymore, Steel replaced Rock as the defacto defense type.
>Yet ANOTHER Bug/SteelWhy is Gamefreak so lazy and uncreative with typing?
>>58722207My boy deserves to be the strongest.>>58722346I alright I’ll concede to tough claws. But with Water Bubble he’ll have a decent coverage option in Aqua Jet now being 80 base power(plus priority) and have that crippling 4x weakness to fire reduced.>>58722373That seems to fit M-scolipede more.
>>58720775There's this ape that learned sign language and then it started walking around its enclosure like he just got a movie deal thinking he's hot shit.That's you, a braindead subhuman monkey learning one thing that they can use to feel superior and carrying it with them everywhere like a slobber soaked safety blanket.In 20 years how smart are you going to be? You're just going to be an aging bitter know-it-all.
>>58722745Which is gay when we have escav and scizor and fucking Genesect already >captcha grrrsy
>>58718789>>58720942>>58720397>>58720881>>58720800>It uses four of its arms to fiercely assail its foes.>Once they've been pushed to the brink of defeat, it finishes them off with the arms it kept hidden.So it actually has more than 4 arms. I guess those spikes are just the thin arms from the base form that are retracted and we can only see the tips.So it has 4 legs and 8 arms.
>>58718825Lucario uses Bone Rush
Literally as long as it doesn't get emergency Exit this thing is golden.It walls basically every threat in the meta and every possible threat reintroduced by megas. The fuck is Alakazam going to do to this. Leech life on that shit and it's back to full. This guy gets U-turn now too. It might actually power creep mega Scizor out of use. AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GET WIMP OUT
>>58723694>AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GET WIMP OUTit will actually get tactical retreat which is the exact same thing except it activates at the end of the turn
>>58723694Can Aqua Jet hit any fire-types that might want to switch in?
>>58723708With its 40 base power? Nope. Not unless Golisopod gets WB.
>>58723878If you can get the SD off, it kills most of the relevant fire mons outright. Fire isn't exactly known for taking hits.
>>58718789Mega Golisopod grew hind legs because it's finally standing its ground
