>>59211242After the 'leak' failed massively, almost none of these will happen.
We saw in a trailer that Raichu X has Electric Surge
>>59211242What about Mega Barbaracle?
>>59211337Though Claws possibly?
>>59211242>Mega Scolipede: Merciless>Mega Scrafty: Shed Skin>Mega Pyroar: Fire-Type version of Dragon's Maw>Mega Malamar: ContraryHoly kek most believable part
>>59211348Thoughbeit claws
>>59211354>Dragon's MawGot that mixed up with feraligate's ability, solely because the idea that a normal type mega would lose access to all normal STAB is something GameFreak would do
>>59211337Iron Fist
>>59211348I can see it.
>>59211337>has eyes all around it>has lots of inaccurate moves for its types like cross chop and stone edgeNo guard.>>59211385That's literally one of its base abilities. Tough claws on a rock type is a complete meme because most rock moves don't make contact.
>>59211395>That's literally one of its base abilities. Won't stop Gamefreak.>Tough claws on a rock type is a complete meme because most rock moves don't make contact.Same as above.
>>59211242I don't expect anything with how ass the actual Megas abilities we're in Champions, Game Freak is so fucking dogshit
>>59211242Mega Raichu X keeping pure electric typing makes me 100% certain it's getting levitate, "it has no weaknesses" is a fun gimmick to give to Mascot Man (it's noteworthy that Raichu X is the one that looks most like Pikachu/Pichu) and it's depicted as flying around like fucking superman.
>>59211337>when it mega evolves it gets a bunch of extra handsrebranded parental bond with different flavor text.
>>59211395Mega Aero sisters…
>>59211680Even the early descriptions and Pokedex entry mention X flying.But it has that unique interaction with Volt Tackle in ZA that makes me assume they'll do something stupid with it instead of giving it Levitate.
>>59211699Place your bets on it getting Zygarde treatment where Volt Tackle literally becomes a different move (one that raises its attack stat after use) when it mega evolves. The code is already there for turning Core Enforcer into Nihil Light, we're already doing "mega evolutions get automatic Z/Max moves" now, again it's obviously something to give to Mascot Man if you're going to give it out.
>>59211711What if they just don't do anything with Nihil Light in the mainline games? They've already ditched battle mechanics from the last Legends game.
>>59211242Dark Aura is likely for M-Darkrai, and it would be cool as Swords Dance + Sucker Punch would complement the speed nerf from the base form
>>59211242I expect disappointment from these
>>59211278can... can it he good?
>>59212435Weather war will be replaced with terrain war
>>59211717Mega Floette and Mega Darkrai are essentially counterparts and part of the Mega Trio of Zygard, Floette, and Darkrai.
>>59211659Mega Meganium lucked out with Mega Sol.
>>59212465That because meganium is a shillmon. Always has been, it was just weighed down by the johto penalty before
>>59211354>Mega Pyroar: Fire-Type version of Dragon's MawPyroar is one of those Pokemon that legitimately got fucked over by Game Freak's idea of "balancing".
>>5921247950% boost to all Fire moves would be pretty good.What would screw over Pyroar is it gets Moxie.
>>59211242Baxcalibur getting Sharpness is more likely since they buffed Dragon Claw, which no current Sharpness user has.
>>59212435>mono Electric physical attacker with no good water/grass/ice coverageDoubtful
>>59212701Raichu gets the best physical Electric move, but it's still completely outclassed by Y. It's the classic case of the X mega not being minmaxed enough while the other gets way better stats. Zard X was carried by its ability.
>>59211242>Advertise Mega Hawlucha as this bulky fighter that gets tankier as the battle goes on>Instead of Stamina, it gets fucking No Guard, the thematic opposite of what it was advertised and when the only 2 moves it has below 80% accuracy are Focus Blast and Mega Kick>Advertise Mega Lucario Z as being a more defensive counterpart to og Mega Lucario>It’s actually a Minmax Special Attack and the original actually has defensive boosts>Meowstic’s whole line is about how it’s supposed to contain powerful Psychic energy>Doesn’t get Psychic Surge, Sheer, or even its base form’s abilities or any of that shit, and gets fucking Trace and is just a straight up worse version of Mega Alakazam>Give Mega Clefable Flying typing despite having only Air Slash as Special Flying coverage, and also advertise how it controls Gravity>Give it Magic Bounce instead of Aerilate or a Gravity setting ability or some shit>Give Mega Scovillain SFMA stats, so everyone expects it to get some shit like Chlorophyll or trash ability given its previous treatment>No wait, it gets a busted ass brand spanking new ability with a unique effect to burn anything that directly damages it at allThere is absolutely no way to actually predict what abilities the new Megas are getting. They just falsely advertise what the Mega would do, some abilities making 0 sense, and giving Pokemon they usually treat like trash amazing abilities that never existed before.
>>59212759Do not forget Mega Drampa. Ber fucking zerk.
>>59212476>That because meganium is a shillmonit's not
>>59211242>Mega Garchomp Z: Speed BoostNo fucking no
>>59211242Do we know when these megas are coming to Champions?
>>59211242>Mega Lucario Z: Mega LauncherShadow Ball got a boost?
>>59212513Moxie to begin with was fucking retarded for Pyroar to have.What was Game Freak trying to accomplish with it anyway? Balancing out Aegislash and Xerneas?
>>59212759Best part, there are game freak shills how are actually dumb enough to say that game freak cares about leh thematics when deciding stats and abilities for Pokémon what a fucking joke
>>59211242Commander would be better for Tatsugiri, because you could then run Storm Drain in the base and mega when you want to combine.
>>59211242Mega Lucario Z: DynaminimizerShrinks the opponents, turning every physical attack into a OHKO (if Lucario female)
>>59212816Drampa should have gotten Mega Sol for Rain or Delta Stream.And also Mega Emboar talking about how it rushes to help its imperiled allies and how its design has a fire spear. Then gives it fucking Mold Breaker.No Friend Guard/Friend Guard+No Supreme Overlord or something similar with SpeedNo improved Helping Hand or Coaching (unless you count fucking Gholdengo)No Tough ClawsNot even Long Reach
>>59212820>got the only good mega in ZA>not a shillmon
>>59212927>Mega Starmie>Mega Floette>Mega Delphox>Mega GolurkZA definitely had some good Megas other than Meganium
>>59212943fair enough those are shillmons too
>>59211242Mega scrafty's ability is either a new one or one not currently in the game. The same is likely true of all remaining megas. ILCA didn't add them on launch because the coding for it isn't done yet.
>>59211395>That's literally one of its base abilitieswhich is often how they choose mega abilities
>>5921297059% of Megas get a new ability and that’s counting the Megas we don’t know the abilities of.
The only mon I'm 99% certain of is Lucario Z getting mega launcher. There is no way they randomly gave this thing water pulse back without a reason.
Whatever Mega Raichu X has involves getting an attack boost whenever it uses shill tackle, what I really want to know is if Raichu can still learn drain punch in champions because if not then there's no point in using it over Y
>>59213139It does still get Drain Punch in Champions.
>>59213031I'm willing to acknowledge that the majority are different, but that means that 41% of the time - a significant percentage of the time, and objectively "often" - it's an ability they already have, according to your own claim. It's definitely likely for it to get tough claws.
>>59212945LMFAOOOOO
