I threw together a ghost team; Giritina, Mega Gengar, Chandelure, Golurk, Mismagius, & Jellicent. Some of them can take a STAB Dark attack, but I guess the best option is to get some Colbur Berrys.
Kinda surprised how good Golurk is with Iron Fist, if only he could learn Sucker Punch..

Choice scarfed Jolteon with Shadow Ball swept the whole team this morning :p

Iron Fist doesn't boost Sucker Punch, unfortunately.

Golurk is amazing. Too bad it can't learn Ice Punch in Gen 6.

So how stupid would it be for me to make a Harvest Exeggutor, Tropius, or Trevenant holding a Starf berry, where the idea is I intentionally get down to a really low HP using Substitute, and then get free boosts to random stats every time Harvest activates?

Poor Raichu. I raise one in most of my playthroughs (Pikachu is almost universally available and with a few exceptions, the other common electric types are utter poo poo) and I'm saddened by how much GameFreak pretends it doesn't exist.

I'm pretty sure the only reason Thunderstones are the only store-bought stones from the first game that can't be bought in the Stone Emporium in X/Y is to make evolving Pikachu as difficult as possible.

Doubles is a bad format for Substitute abuse because there are two enemy attacks per turn, and generation 6 is a bad metagame for grass types because of Talonflame. It's so easy to disrupt that I can't see it working outside of rotation, which is the best format anyway.

Just thinking about other Ghost types has led me to realize how cool it would be if we get a Ghost/Fighting type in Gen 7, or at least a new Mega Evolution that adds a ghost typing like say... Mienshao! It doesn't need to come with a major design overhaul since it would be best if it resembles a Jiangshi, a Chinese hopping specter. That would be my dream Mega Evolution.

Ghost/Fighting is a type I've wanted to see for a long time, and I hope it gets an actual pokemon to represent it instead of just a mega evolution.

Bro, apparently.

According to people translating on Twitter, Mega Slowbro gets Shell Armor and boosts to defense and special attack. Mega Audino becomes Normal/Fairy and gets Healer and boosts to both defenses.

It's real. It's from the official Korean site. They revealed it accidentally.

Ahahahaha, Mega Slowbro looks so stupid, I love it. :allears:

And we can add Audino to the list of Pokemon that will never get actual evolutions. Megas do make it so we can have 'new' Pokemon every game pretty much, but when does it end? Until everyone is mega? Will every new game add around 10-20 new megas each time?

Still want more though, it's a cool concept if anything else.

I'd assume it would readjust the stats and ability to the previous form, but i'm not sure how it would go about doing that since there is no move or ability that has that function at this point.

Crosspeice
Aug 9, 2013

It's just using Heal Pulse and the screenshots are a beta layout of what would go up, so any mistakes haven't been ironed out. Most likely they're just messing around with the game, which is why Mega Audino doesn't have the mega symbol by its name. Things will change when the page officially goes up.
