>so good that they nerfed aerialate>then nuked megas entirely>then dexcut it from champions when megas came back>then overcorrected by making every new mega raw dogshitThe croissant utterly mindbroke gamefreak
>>59143496>nerfed aerialateHow so?
>>59143729-ate abilities got nerfed from 30% to 20% in gen 7 after mega mence terrorized ORAS VGC
>>59143496How did Game Freak not realize this would be an absolute god? It literally does everything.>elite bulk>elite speed tier>has defog>has refresh>absurd offenses that are further boosted by its ability>reliable recovery even after mega evolving >Intimidate anything that threatens it before mega evolving>did I mention it already has dragon dance This Pokemon would be OU even if its offensive stats were fucking halfed
>>59143786Same Game Freak that was surprised over Aegislash being used as a special attacker.
Most efficient use of 700 BST possible
>>59143796eh, i would say crowned zacian has a better distribution.
>>59143796Chomp Z has better stats
>>59143806>>59143824Not as bulky
>>59143786Gamefreak buffed Snorlax in Gen 2 despite it being a Top 2 powerhouse in Gen 1. They dumb
>>59143834mega mence only has 90 spdef, crown zacian has 115 with nearly the same hp. it trades a bit of physical bulk (15) for a significant gain in special bulk (25), and then a lot of superfluous special attack for more attack and speed. it's just a better usage of the BST given.
>>59143852Priority will be physical
>>59143863and? 148 speed is simply so much better than 120 that it's not funny. especially in the modern era where so many things natively outrun 120 due to speed creep. you can argue semantics if you really want to but you're honestly just coping.
>>59143847The official Gen 1 and 2 format is Nintendo Cup (Poke Cup in the west) and Snorlax was kinda ass at it because he couldn’t handle OHKO moves or Minimizers or Sleep very well and Pick 3 doesn’t benefit stallers.Smogon just so happened to ban all his flaws and pick a format that helped him
>>59143834having less wasted stats means you can redistribute evs to make up for the bulk loss if it's actually important if you really want to you can run 24 hp/212 atk/120 def/148 speed on zacian and exactly tie a standard 252/252 jolly megamence for hp, attack, and defense, while also having 49 more special defense and 33 more speedsimple maths
>>59143879I'm talking about when it came out obviouslyCrowned Zacian is the ultimate offensive Pokemon I'm not arguing against that, but it's in a very one-dimensional way where you run the same set every time. That's all I'm saying. In terms of variety Mega Mence just impresses me more. It can run like 4 fucking sets.
>>59143496>straight up removed him and metagross from champions because they know they would be too oppressivefucking lmao
