How will the old electric megas like manectric and ampharos ever survive in champions without hidden power ice?
>>59138929does it matter when no one is going to use them
>>59138929People sleep on manectric as a supporter.He is the fastest of electric megasIt has snarl, discharge, psychic fangs, both screens.Sounds like decent pick for doubles if not fully offence play is your style.
they couldn't even survive with it, Manectric's entire existence was pop Mega to Intimidate and maybe scare away Kyogre
>>59138940>He is the fastest of electric megasZeraora is 153 (18 more) with speedboost and has a lot of support moves as wellRaichu Y has 130 (5 less speed) and so many support moves for doublesEverything's built to counter intimidate spam from incineroar it's an overrated ability for manectric
>>59138940Why would you pick a shitmon over any other Mega, is the question.
>>59138940This is a reach and you know it. There's no saving these electric types that relied on HP Ice to round out their coverage.Your best answer should have been "At least it has Intimidate."
>>59138929>Most fairy types got mystical fire to deal with their loss of hp fire>Meanwhile electrics losing hp iceHAHAHA get fucked
>>59138929Mega Manectric should get an Electric type version of Scrappy. Its stats are very close to Mega Lopunny’s so they could easily become counterpart Megas.
>>59139580Fairy is a shill type, electric isn’t
>>59138940>Using up your Mega Slot on a defensive pivot
>>59139611It's really true>Fairy just introduced>Give that special treatment>Electric has been using hp ice ever since gen2 and balanced around it since>Refuse to give it anything to compensate
>>59138940I’m gonna do this because it sounds fun and I like Manectric
>>59138929They should add special versions of the fang / punches like idk maybe a 70 | 100 Icy / Fiery / Sparking Howl and if another Howl is used in the same turn they boost their damage by 1.5x
>>59138929
>>59139755>They should add special versions of the fang / punches like idk maybe a 70 | 100 Icy / Fiery / Sparking Howl Surprised there's not anything like that yet. They really have 2 sets of punches/fangs for phys and 0 for special huh..
>>59139580Many electrics got Overheat and Heat Wave for dealing with Steels too bad the one that mattered fucking didn't. No really let's talk about how the thing that can accomplish Electromagnetic Radiation can't get these moves but the shitty Zebra which has it because "uhhhhhh it can get angry"
>>59140863Just click bp nigger
>>59140863There is an inherent bias at TPCi against objectmons. Animalmons + anthromons all have way better movepools especially after gen 7. Objectmons are lucky if they get a boosting move at all.
electric types could get>Aurora Beam (electromagnetic wave, reasonably low power to be a coverage)>Fire coverage (heat)>Grass Knot or Energy Ballbut nah, let's just keep 90% of electric types completely mid unless they have legendary stats
>>59141210>Grass KnotRaichu does at least
>>59141210Aurora Beam would be cool because I like the animation but there is basically no reason to ever use it.
>>59141247KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Privilege and being related to the mascot >>59140894they hate most animalmons too, look at any animalmon that isn't furbait or shillmon and see how backwards or barren their movesets are
>>59141210Aurora beam is a bit on the noseThey could make a move like "thermoelectric pulse" though, electricity can be used to heat and cool, so it doesn't make much sense why they only get fire moves
>>59138929At least manectric has flamethrower and other funky stuff
>>59140863>Many electrics got Overheat and Heat Wave for dealing with SteelsAnon, eletrics don't cafe about steel types, they used HP Ice for ground, dragon and grass, the few electric types who learn it use it for bulky grass mons, M-Mane was a very special because you in theory could cover everything in 4 slots with T-Bolt/Thunder, V-Switch, Flamethrower/Overheat and HP Ice. Now it and many other are gimped to hell, with some obvious exceptions like Paradox/Legends with min-maxed stats or can Tera away of their problems and become actual threats.
>>59139633>Electric has been using hp ice ever since gen2 and balanced around it sincenigger we haven't had HP ice since gen 7 iirc
>>59138929mega raichu outclasses it.
