This is competitively speaking only, in-game mega-garchomp would be better but I think garchompite was postgame only so

Does the level of Meowth with Pickup matter or affect Pickup in any way?

Electric Lady posted:Hey, I said I wasn't an expert Countblanc posted:It loses Speed, access to a held item so you can't really run bulky chomp sets, and arguably gets a worse ability (or at least a less splashable one). Basically no one uses Mega Garchomp and not just because it occupies your mega slot. Same goes for Mega Tyranitar, unless you want to run a Dragon Dance set there's basically no reason to look at it. Countblanc posted:Mega Garchomp hits like a loving bus but loses out on his crisp 102 Speed tier, which is even worse now that your speed is recalculated the moment you mega evolve. Giving up item slots is also a lot more meaningful in the post-game stuff since during the campaign it usually just means "oh I guess my Hypno is holding a Twisted Spoon now" rather than possibly defining something's entire role on your team like physically bulky Rocky Helmet Garchomp (whose purpose is to mess with things that spam low power physical moves like Fake Out, U-Turn, and Power-Up Punch by making them take a quarter of their HP every time they use one between Rough Skin and Rocky Helmet). There's some other reasons but basically 1) he loses his amazing speed tier 2) he loses access to an item 2b) he loses the ability to run bulky sets w/ rocky helmet 3) there are better megas and you can only have one

oddium posted:that's what the balloon is for Doesn't work like that. Anything that's on the ground is protected by psychic terrain. If a pokemon is flying or whatever, they can still be hit by priority moves. A flying pokemon won't be able to use priority moves on ground targets; they just won't have protection.

Calaveron posted:Metagross has a mega evo? I thought he was already one of those grossly powerful overused Pokemons. Popularity. Metagross, Alakazam, Gengar, all those guys are popular dudes and so they get a Mega form so people can have a new way to play around with some old favourites. Also because it's cool to be like, "poo poo man I really like Scizor and now it's got a new form which is even stronger! I can't wait to use my old pal again!!"

Real talk though, Mega Steelix is probably the best looking mega guy followed by Ampharos based on glorious mane and worst looking there are too many to count

I like Megas because it gave me reason to try out Mawile and Sableye who I always thought looked like cool guys but never ended up using. And they turned out to be true and good friends who I will now always appreciate. Megas are cool. I can't wait to see Mega Torterra in the Sinnoh remakes!

Alright gently caress whoever at GameFreak made the decision to hard code Necrozma to not be an Ultra Beast. Finally caught the fucker in a Best Ball though, not gonna let the game stop me! So my living dex is as done as I can get it at this point. Still need to evolve Cosmog and Type:Null and need one more of each, don't have the Moon exclusive UB's or Lunala. Not too bad. I may just go ahead and pick up my own copy of Moon for those last few myself. Gotta keep the naming conventions consistent!
