ZU will tremble in fear

Who or what is ZU?

mega audino is great though, it has the most important part of all. I like it's aesthetic.
>>59111192
it's the 5th degree of UU.

Honestly Mega forms of shitmons should give a bigger boost to BST.
There should be a BST floor all megas have by default. Now I don't know the exact number but off the cuff I'd say 600.
>>
>>59111291
alrght so take singles pokemon, quickly bar peeps from using stuff like box legends, kick other things out as they become too big a problem to ignore and potentially let some back in when it's clear they're not THAT strong.
this is OU, the 0th degree.
now take a relatively low cutoff point, say, 5%, and ban every mon that appears in that percentage of teams. the amount you're left with is UU, the first degree.
repeat the whole "ban problems" deal, but keep the hard cutoff of "too used in the tier above" as a hard rule. bans above you also apply naturally.
once you've done this, take that same cutoff, this will leave you with RU, the 2nd degree. repeat the process 3 more times and you will be left with ZU.

Mega Audino is fine in the stat department. In fact they are pretty decent stats, and shitmons do mathmatically benefit more from +100 BSTs.
What sucks is its ability being Healer. It could have been an amazing Mega if it got a good ability.
>>
>>59111329
>545
>when other megas are stat boosted pseudos or starters
>even shitters like Mega Glalie are 580
I respect the theoretical hustle but if you're going to dedicate a mon to holding a mega stone and you're ending up weaker than Arcanine and only slightly stronger than normal starters then I think a minor adjustment should be applied.
>>
>>59111301
>all megas just become 600BST
They should have. Missed opportunity to do this. The flat 100 buff just wasn’t enough for a lot of mons. Any mon that was already above 600BST didn’t need a mega (Mewtwos and Rayquaza get a pass as box legends/restricted)

>it has the most important part of all. I like it's aesthetic
Its the mega that looks most like an actual evolution and that annoys me because Audino needs a proper evolution more than anything
>>
>>59111358
Going from 445 to 545 is a 22.5% increase in BST. Going from 600 to 700 BST is only a 16.7% increase, thus Pokemon with lower stats benefit more from Mega Evolution than Psuedos. Because of that, it is sometimes just better to run another item on a Psuedo than it is to run a Mega Stone.
But it mostly comes down to what abilities the Megas get that makes the most impact.

It's spelled pseudo.
>>
>>59111192
A byproduct of the obscene powercreep.
Also Game Freak's negligence of certain Pokemon if not straight up sabotage.

>>59111164
Why weren't these just cross gen evos?
>>
>>59111164
Hot. Now Dynamax her and have her sit on me
>>
>>59113914
Cross gen replacement are for Pokemon that GF hate like bisharp
