Does anybody have a female multiscale dratini they’re willing to trade?

@Mood4food77 This is under the assumption something is switching in to be 2HKO’d. 1v1 there’s not a lot it can stay in on without prior damage.
Por ejemplo:
0 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Medicham-Mega: 154-183 (59 - 70.1%) – guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
With a HJK it’s taking an additional ~32% from Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin which is potentially fatal.
0 SpA Tapu Fini Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Medicham-Mega: 224-266 (85.8 - 101.9%) – 50% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
Thunderpunch doesn’t OHKO either.
Also bear in mind your calcs are from Adamant Mega Medicham which means he can’t speed tie with base 100 mons in the tier and gets outspeed by + nature ones like Tapu Lele. It’s also an additional ghost weak to any team (a noticeable issue in OU) with the only usable priority being a non-STAB Bulletpunch.
Mega Medicham needs heavy slow Volturn support and prediction to maintain its survival, which other Megas in the tier don’t have to worry about. This isn’t saying Mega Medicham can’t wallbreak or threaten, it’s a matter if that alone warrants a Mega slot in the era of Tapus, Mawile, and Z-nukes.
Mega medi didnt need that much support last gen. The only reason he wasnt used much last gen was cause of mega sableye. The teams he’ll be on this gen Will be similar to last gen. He’s hella buffed thanks to mega speed buff as well as entry hazards being ridiculous right now (fucking greninja).
When msab got banned last, mega medicham was ridic
Lol @ needed something to be banned in order to find use for something else.
So is that password legit?

Honestly, I don’t remember a single team with Mega Medicham that didn’t have Rotom-W on it. We also have more heavy hitters than before. But you’re right about Spikes Greninja, that can definitely be the edge, especially since a surprising amount of teams don’t have any hazard control whatsoever.
We’ll see…

I played the meta after msab was banned…mega medicham was fucking everywhere. Rotom-w covered a lot of what would check mega medicham so there’s a lot of synergy there.
If anything affects mega medichams usage…it’s mega metagross (fuck this thing)
Pheromosa banned on showdown with 93% ban (85 out of 92).
Didnt bother us since we had it banned but not aegislash…cause logic
That’s a tiny ass number of total voters… Showdown must really be hurting for players these days if out of all the millions of Pokemon players, they couldn’t even dredge up 100 people to vote.
They really don’t represent the player base at all.

It wasnt all votes. They stopped it cause the rest of the votes wouldnt have stopped the ban even if they voted no ban
That sucks. I had yet to even play Pheramosa. The ones I ran into never really bothered me since I had my ace (Ash Greninja). I guess I might as well get on PS and play Glas much greninja as possible before they ban it.
Again out of the thousands of people that frequent Showdown, it only takes 85 people to decide policy/rule changes?
I’m not a mathematician, but that shit don’t add up, no matter how you try to spin it.

They allow people to meet requirements. Only a certain number do. It’s not like they choose who can or cannot. You make reqs you can vote. Idk what the % of players that make it to reqs is.
I mean. The US is a country of a few hundred million and 700 people decide the president so i dont see the issue :V
Even if you have to make requirements to vote, that’s an inordinately small percentage of eligible voters versus to supposed thousands that frequent Showdown.
Policy changes being decided by 0.01% of the populace is fucked up, no matter how you try to spin it…
Not even going to touch your silly electoral college example, as the American people have way more representation than the President to vote on.

That was a joke, lol
I mean, idk how else could they decide who to vote, an even smaller select few? Everyone?
I mean, i dont entirely agree with it but idk how to improve it.
