HOW is this fair in ANY way?
>mega pikachu is broken while the actual mega raichu is midHOLY FUCKING NOTICED
Did they already ban sleep lmfao
>>59710970Because it’s distinctive appearance wasn't similar to that of pikachu
>>59711003The absolute state of Modern Pokemon.
>>59711003MRX has>Pikachu's fur color>Pikachu's tail>Pikachu's cheeks
>>59710970>why doesn’t game freak design around my retarded fanfic that barely resembles the game?
>>59710970The 160 spa and 130 speed might also have something to do with it. No Guard just means Zap Cannon and Focus Blast are going to ruin your life.
>>59711032OP here, I was obviously not talking about the abilities.
>>59710970the magic of picking a few stats to be good in rather than spreading them too thin and boosting its stats that weren't even close to good in the first placeoh and not having any good physical moves besides volt tackle (which has recoil), play rough (ok power for a coverage move but 90% accuracy), and uuuhwow that really is every non-dig non-normal type physical move at 80 or more powercontrast with mega-Y which is just a "the same but with higher stats" mega
>>59711032>No Guard just means Zap Cannon and Focus Blast are going to ruin your life.Mega Golurk aura farms all over that rat.
>>59711018MRY was straight up just a modified pikachu they didn't even use a raichu model
>>59711038Then what ARE you talking about? Using fanfic meta to compare the two implies that's the issue. Be more clear about what you want, you're in the presence of autists.
>>59711063In pokemon Legends Z-A Raichu would get its stats boosted every time it landed a Volt Tackle and honestly an ability that boosted it's attack and preferably negated the knockback from Volt Tackle Mega Raichu X would be worth running.
>>59710970>ban the main thing that raichu x counters>hurr why raichu x bad?Smogshit has done an impressive amount of damage to competitive Pokemon discourse.
>>59710970>The one that looks like pikancer is the only one viable. Rigged gayfreak garbage.
>>59711100>>59711018
Just wait for Paradox mons tho, boosted Iron Valiant will be slapping
>>59711112why her specifically?
Because raichuspergs deserve all they get for being contrarian retarded snowflakes.All you had to do was NOT be an autistic casualty of life, but you chose to be, so reap what you sowed.
>>59710970X's stat spread trying to make a mono-electric type have some extra bulk with no extra speed was retarded.Being stuck still relying on dying to Volt Tackle recoil to do damage was stupid.Not being part Fighting type or something was stupid
>>59710970Instead of giving X Galvanize so it could abuse Extreme Speed and Fake Out, among the other normal type moves, they gave it Electric Surge. Like Rillaboom doesn’t have U-turn or Tapu Koko isn’t going to outclass it as soon as it releases.
>>59711066>Mega Shitmon Yeah ok lol
>Raichu X is like Raichu with Gorochu's lost features, a perfect final design>Raichu Y is just Pikachu with more fur and better statsIt's so weird how much Pokemon disrespects Pikachu's final form. For 30 years they have done this.
>>59710970>fanfic metaBoth are viable in VGC
>>59711421>Both are viable in VGCHow many world championships did they win?
>>59711082ormaybe it's just outclassed by rillaboom as a sleep powder immune terrain setting monto say nothing of there just being a ton of better physical attackers and electric types
>>59711430holy shit rillaboom makes my other pokemon immune to sleep powder?
>>59710970>physical mono-electric pokémon with no coverage is badwoah
>>59710970How do you manage to fuck up a mega evolution with electric surge? Does this thing have 300 BST?
>>59711447not literally but its stats are so abysmally distributed for its movepool and typing that it might as well feel like it's 300 bstalso the movepool is ass, as described in >>59711063
>>59710970Both Mega Raichus are good in the real format
>>59711447>How do you manage to fuck up not designing around a fanfic format some neckbeards made on the opposite side of the planet that has nothing to do with your game?
>>59711447it would be amazing as a normal pokemon but you need to remember that you can only run one mega, so it's fighting every other mega for that slot on your team
>>59711460decided to checkthis thing has the (functionally) exact same bulk of a dragapult without the speed, typing, movepool, freed up item slot, freed up mega slot, and choice of an intimidate immunity or the ability to ignore screens/substitutes
>>59711460I think the biggest issue here is that mega pokemon can't change their base HP. I can see them wanting a more bulky setup mixed attacker Raichu but even with solid 95 in both defences 60 HP guarantees this thing won't survive 2 hits. If anything they should've given it an ability that buffs its defenses to contrast Raichu Y's ability buffing it's offenses.
>>59711769The biggest issue here is that you’re a retard staring at a fanfic
>>597109701 in 4 mega raichus are mega X in the real formatfanfic shit doesn't matter
>>597117791 in 4 is kinda terrible. That's 25% You're less likely to run into a Raichu X than you are to land Sheer Cold.
>>59711779That would give Mega Raichu X about a 3% usage rate, which would mean even Champions it’d be considered lower tier Pokemon.
>>59711447Frankly it’s because Electric Surge isn’t that impressive.Mega Charizard Y gets away with Drought because it has 159 SpA and everything but some priority Fire move you’d ever want to use.Mega Froslass gets away with Snow Warning because it has good stats complimenting Snow, and gets Blizzard as well.Mega Raichu X’s best physical STAB is Volt Tackle, and its just about its only good physical STAB. Then it gets Rising Voltage, but of course it works off its mid SpA and only is about as strong as Mega Raichu Y’s Zap Cannon.And then Tapu Koko is going to be available in the future, which means Mega Raichu Y gets to have Rising Voltage doubled and there is no longer a point to ever using Raich X.I hope that Champions later gives some Megas new abilities, like Raichu X getting Galvanize or Hawlucha getting Stamina. They clearly weren’t thinking at all when making some of these Megas.
>>59712108Frankly it’s because you’re a retard staring at a fanfic
>>59712131All those Pokémon are good in VGC, you nonce
>>59712137Guess which Pokemon won a recent VGC regional, you nonce
>>59711425Last one I saw have plenty of them in top 8
>>59711779VGC has had like 6 viable pokemon per format in the past 10 years, if both are getting used it's only at the lower levels of play.
>>59712131>>59712143Hey Kujo
>>59712137Stop talking to Kujo like he's a person.
>>59711249Still walls Mega Pikachu regardless because of the typing.
>>59711439>game freak is out of touch with how the games workMany such cases.
>>59712200>campaignshitter is a retard staring at a fanficMany such cases.
>>59712202Shadow Ball is not a move Gengar can learn in Gen 1 because it doesn’t exist, Kujo
>>59712143What kinda sets were they running? Genuinely curious I wanna use Mega Raichu X I just haven't found a niche for it yet.
