Pokemon General Discussion Thread - It's Lit(ten)!

BANNED.

you mean the now new mega salamence that can run:
DD, bulky physical offense, fatmence, speically offensive, subroost para shuffler (hell yea i’m running this), ummmm…something else will come up

i…hate it

Mega Mence with Return…the pain…THE PAIN. Sorry Pinsir, you out.

Mega Altaria…my fucking god.

it doesn’t need return, it gets double edge, thrash, body slam, and hyper voice.
the only thing pinsir has over mence is quick attack. do i need to remind you that regular mence has intimidate as well?

mega altaria is borked as hell too, dragon/fairy with pixelate is dumb as shit

I didn’t know it had Double-Edge, I’m only looking up their learnsets now.

Altaria has both Return and Hyper Voice which is just…fun as well. That Dragon/Fairy typing too.

Depending on its stat allocation, could be a better Sylveon, just without the Wish Passing.

i don’t care if it doesn’t have wish, that typing is stupid as hell, great offesnive movepool, has heal bell and roost, like shit gamefreak…are you trying to break everything

i’m just waiting for aerilate dnite to just be made and then banned from ubers

Don’t forget Cotton Guard. I hope you weren’t planning on actually 2HKOing it with anything.

EDIT: Oh, and look at Pikachu getting Physical BoltBeam coverage before fucking Kyurem-B lololol

just be happy if you can 4HKO that thing

Hyper Voice/Heal Bell/Roost/Cotton Guard, Calm Nature and everything in SpD. As long as its Physical Defense doesn’t randomly get lowered…(you could also do Return over Hyper Voice and switch Natures there, again depends on Stat Allocation as for now both her Atk and SpA are the same, Hyper Voice has more utility though).

This shit is making old school Calm Mind Latias look bush league.

Better keep my phazing around.

i’m going with 75/100/110/100/125/80 base stats. it’s going to terrorize everything. DD set, specially offensive, cleric, cotton guard, pivot, whatever it fucking needs to be

But no one can be mad at all that fuzziness!

Anyway, for now let’s not talk about her, though she’s cool.

Let’s talk about Pikachu now having Icicle Crash.

Flying press pilachu!!!

Where’s my Mega Flygon?! Salamence is a bitch.

I just realized that Dragon/Flying coverage is REALLY freaking redundant. Like terribly to the point that Mence might have to forgo Dragon coverage altogether. Since EQ already covers where Flying gets resisted for the most part (at least on his Physical Set) does he really need Outrage? Double-Edge hits just as hard (harder actually due to the Aerilate boost), he has Roost for the recoil and it doesn’t lock it in for two turns so Fairies don’t have a free ass switch in.

oh snaps, Gamefreak is going HAM! but seriously…who didn’t see a mega Salamence coming? sucks it’s design looks so…UGLY but the almighty Arceus blesses Altaria with a mega evo as well. Typing will shake up things for sure!

Oh shit, someone did the calc for a fully invested Scizor BP against a Cotton Guarded Altaria (no Def investment) assuming it goes up to 100 Def (which seems particularly likely at this juncture).

252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. +3 252 HP / 0 Def Altaria: 98-116 (27.6 - 32.7%) – 69.9% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery.

Only way I see this thing getting taken down is by MegaVoir and Landorus off the top of my head and that’s a maybe. They have to 2HKO. Better keep your phazers alive.

Mega salamence looks like fucking star scream dragon form.

Oh, and in case you were missing Outrage on Mence…just use Thrash instead. It’s literally a stronger Outrage on Mega Mence with no random immunity.

So either take the recoil from Double Edge(which you can Roost off) or take the lock in from Thrash.

Where are yall reading these abilities from? Nevermind I see it. Wtf.

+3 with Cotton Guard on a defensive powerhouse with arguably the best defensive typing ever conceived. Mega Altaria, so sexy…

Good luck taking it down with Ice Shard. :rofl:

Remember the stuff he said about Mega Venusaur pre-release, among other things? :rofl:

Never forget, no really NEVER FORGET!
