GOLURK IS HERE
>>58719346radical
>one of my favorite gen 5 pokemon gets a kino mega>one of my favorite gen 7 pokemon gets one tooi'm satisfied
Wish it looked more mecha, but still cool
>>58719346Stats:>HP: 89>Attack: 159>Defense: 105>Special Attack: 70>Special Defense: 105>Speed: 55
>>58719346>>58719380Cool ass design but those stats are kinda mid. Hopefully he gets a good ability
>>58719346MY NEW FAVORITE MEGA THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T FUCK HIM UP
hell yeah
Do we have Dex entries?
>>58719346THE SEAL IS NO MORE
>>58719346why the does it need these stupid taped-on wings when it could already fly
>>58719384Base form now gets no guard fissure
>>58719346Thank god, if my other fave got a goofy mega I’d have lost my mind. Hopefully it gets a good ability.
>>58719406That CAN'T be staying in games other than ZA
>>58719406I highly doubt that'll make it to champions, like ice beam gardevoir. Because that'll ruin the vgc I'm just hoping for an actually useful ability instead of noguard, it needs something new to make up for this stat spread, no guard isn't doing it
>>58719406There's no way they'll allow that in a mainline game...r-right...?
>>58719405It's seal has broken & power is erupting from its shoulders
>>58719405doesn't look like wings to me, looks like overflowing ghost-flame-mega-energy coming out of its pauldrons
Turner made the best mega huh
>>58719405I think they're "flames"
wait thats just a Gurren Lagann robot!
>>58719384>stats are kinda mid.It's like a slightly less bulky (regular) UrsalunaIt already has a decent movepool, as long as it has a good ability it's fine
>>58719346I'll wait until I see actual footage but I fear this design is so middling I'd rather keep my bro golurk in his base form
>>58719346FVVVVAAAAARK
>>58719487didnt the leaks say some shit about it turning the armor into a weapon or did i hallucinate that
>>58719380>159 atk STAB-boosted Earthquake PlusOUCH
>>58719461biggest problem is that it has no boosting moves and its ghost STAB is poltergeist
>>58719461At the cost of an item and a worse defensive typing.. and is weak to burn while ursaluna can't be countered by it
>>58719542That's what trick room is for
>>58719425>Because that'll ruin the vgcgame freak has ever cared about that, though Golurk isn't CHARIZARD , KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO, or BaraTigerOfHealtyMeta, so your point still stands.
>>58719405it'sPUREENERGY
>>58719346THE SEALED HAVE BEEN BROKEN!!!!! IT'S TRUE POWER HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED!!!!
>has to roid rage to defeat an onion
>>5871934689 -> 89124 -> 159 Atk (+35)80 -> 105 Def (+25)55 -> 70 Sp.Atk (+15)80 -> 105 Sp.Def (+25)55 -> 55 SpeOnly 15 points wasted. Could have been way worse.Mega Golurk looks awesome.Totally happy with this. Hopefully the ability is good, maybe it'll get some new moves distributed.
>>58719557then why not just run Ursaluna then which doesnt take a mega slot and can hold an item, the point still stands
so, is there somewhere i can download the dlc nsp already?
>>58719346He looks good.>>58719380I came close to guessing his stats too.
It is kinda sad that we basically only got two new Ground-type megas this run. Three if you count legendary Zygarde I guess. Garchomp lost it's Ground typing for it's new mega. And nothing else gained Ground. That has to make Ground one of the least common mega typings now, right?Kalos was always harsh to Ground-types
>>58719380Could have been worse, could have been better.It’ll be good in lower tier depending on what ability it gets.
>>58719418>>58719425>>5871942655 Speed and kind of mediocre for current standards defenses. Ground/Ghost also has quite a few weaknesses. Like yeah - if it will hit something with Fissure it will probably die. Except most of the times Golurk will get hit first and even if it will not die, it will be easy to finish off because it has no real recovery. Also, one could make a point that being 1HKO'd with Golurk's STAB of choice and being 1HKO'd with Fissure is ultimately the same fucking shit, except Sturdy is completely nullifying instant-kill moves no matter what.No Guard Fissure Golurk is just an unpractical gimmick and waste of time.
>>58719957yes yes, Golurk isn't Mega Rayquaza.
dex entry?
>>58719346>>58719405We got to see this guy in motion!
>>58719346Hi Metagross... Cool costume. Almost didn't notice...
>>58719994It's not as good as I'd hope honestly, they didn't change it's forms or do anything creative with it sadly.It doesn't look bad though in spite of how simple it is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YABbSSJKJI
>>58719346Could've been way more interesting, disappointing
>>58720282In the skibidi era, a bland mega is winning the lottery
>>58720282This, they should’ve turned it into a toilet stall
>>58720287That's fair - it's definitely better than a lot the dumb meme stuff like giving it a moustache but I feel like it abandons the golem thing too much and the face is unrecognizable
>>58720357Eh I enjoy how it’s essentially an empty shell piloted by leaking ghost energy that resembles armor now. Simple but effective. If I had a complaint, it’s that it could’ve looked more broken, bit too clean for what it’s supposed to be. But I’m satisfied overall
>>58719346https://x.com/UniteVids/status/1998663830482600293>Rocket punchesHe WON
>>58720457Perfection
>>58719380I wish it had something retarded like 180 attack, that design really screams pure power to me
>>58720457This is one of the best megas in general for meIt expands on the concept the original pokémon was going for and it looks cool as fuck
Sheeesh the shiny
>>58719380>>58719384>golurk has sick ass mega complimenting his already sick ass design>has like the 2nd worst stats out of all the megas>already has shit stats as isIt’s not fucking fairAs for ability all they need to do is just fucking buff iron fistgolurk with 4 punch moves for a permanent 20% power boost sounds great on paper until you realize other abilities like sheer force/tough claws/punk rock boost by 30% and fucking strong jaw/mega launcher boost by 50%golurk and hitmonchan really got the short end of the stick :/
>>58719346enter GODlurk
>>58719865Sounds like a Kalos problem. XY was the same way.
>>58719346I’m convinced the guy who did this also did Staraptor and the other Megas that are just cool and not gimmicky or goofy. Then we have another designer who just wants designs to be funny. We need more from this guy.
>>58719346I wish they'd animate smoke like smoke instead of weird shaped tendrils
>>58720938Gamefreak is just a small indie company. They don't know how to render animated fire and smoke effects. Please understand.
>>58719405It looks cool
>>58720938Actually they do "animate" smoke for Mega Heatran for some reason? It's not in the model but it is spewing it out of vents on its back. Might be a first?
>>58721232I noticed that, too. I didn't expect Gamefreak to finally figure out how particles work.
>>58719461>comparing it to UrsalunaYou have to look at megas harshly in competitive because not only do they have no item slot available but they also take up a valuable mega slot that can go to another mega. Comparing it to an already decent pokemon in competitive is even worse because you can just use that pokemon Ursaluna then use your mega slot for another trickroom mega like Mawile instead.
>>58719737>+15 SpAthank god if that hadn't been the case it would've been so broken and unbalanced. Literally too strong
>>58719346TENGEN TOPPA GOLURK LAGANN???
>>58720791those wings look familiar...
>>58720457But does he BREAST FIRE?
>>58721809new kink unlocked
>>58721538Believe in (you), who believes in yourself!Giga... Fist.... BREAKEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!
>>58720457…the base form already did this
>>58719346>just covered in yellow blobs nowI’m honestly disappointed. It’s Basculegion all over again, where it’s supposed to look like soul energy but is rendered as melted plastic.
>>58722708They’ve updated the models recently, hopefully in a few fens they get a competent modeler — the smoke on Heatran gives me hope
Anyone got ability hopes?If not No Guard or Iron Fist, then what?Have any special requests for new moves?Upper Hand? Hard Press?... Rage Fist?
>>58722873Rage Fist makes a lot of sense on Golurk, and god knows good physical ghost moves are hard to come byI also want it to get Headlong Rush, great STAB and a punching move, yes please
>>58722873Here's how to make Mega 'lurk broken:Rocket FistPowers up the pokemon's punching moves and gives them priority while its HP is full.Basically Iron Fist + Gale Wings
>>58722904I forgot Headlong Rush counts as a punching move. What a terrible localization
>>58722873Iron Fist except they finally buff it so it always calculates STAB no matter the typing of the user
>>58723143shadow punch would still be bad
>+15 special attack
>>58723173Gamefreak really needs an external team doing balancing, this wasted stat distribution shit for only some Pokemon is beyond retarded.
>>58719346Coooooool
where do you get his stone
>>58719346Such a good design is ruined because of the scaling, would be peak if it were Primal Groudon-sized
>>58723572nvm got it, its a random hyperspace hole every day and night
>>58723983speaking of the primals, are they slightly bigger as statues or am I being thrown off by something
does Fissure work the same in Z-A?
>>58723983Can you get an alpha Golurk?
>>58719865Not among the least but definitely lowDragon: 17Fighting: 16Psychic: 15Steel: 13Fire, Flying, Dark: 11Water, Fairy: 9Grass, Poison, Ghost, Ground: 7Normal, Electric, Bug: 6Rock, Ice: 5
>>58719346>ai slop golurk>it even has the typical random wrong colors infecting itholy fuck it's so over
>>58722873I could see Adaptability, since it's adapting to using it's internal energy externally now, instead of trying to keep it stored inside
>>58724500no
>>58721241they'll be removed in gen 10 don't worry
>>58720263>Flames on the shoulders aren't animatedLame
Holy FUCK is that Gurren Lagann?
>>58719346One of the coolest megas from the new batch.
>>58719405those arent wings its supposed to be flaring ghostly fire whenever its animated in the anime it'll be badass.
>>58720850iron fist being a 20% boost is so fucking bullshit when most of the punch moves are on the lower side BP wise anyways
>>58723173So annoying when they do this shit. Only pseudos and legendary/ pokemon with at least 600 BST should have a chunk of the 100 BST boost from mega evolving wasted on their useless attacking stat.
>>58725480the fact that Golurk's normal bst is 483 is insaneit really is just a slightly nerfed Machamp statwise
>>58725480It’s funny that this sort of happened to Salamence and it became an utter menace. Anyway hopefully Golurk gets more moves and a good ability.
>>58725651It deserved a proper evo...
>>58725709a 22 point stat buff is hardly a tall ask compared to an evolution. just dump a couple points into its hp and def imo, or speed I guess.
>>58720850Better deal: >Shadowpunch boosted to 75 as other punches>Only ghosts and gitmonchan can use it
>>58725763it deserves an evo so that they could do more with the concept. It deserves the ursaluna treatment. THEN it can get a mega.
