Happy Holidays! What was your favorite Mega Evolution? I personally liked Slowbro best
Happy almost-Christmas!
Lucario
I miss Megas So badly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
MEGA CHARIZARD X
I liked Altaria a lot personally due to the typing, dragon-fairy was a fun type. Plus it pretty much made Lisia exist and she's my favorite character
Though I wanna say lopunny is up there too, if you've watched lockstin's video on lopunny I think it's fun how the mega is inspired by jazzercise or other women's exercise videos from the 80/90s in the same way its an 80/90s bunnygirl
I love Mawile but without its mega, it just feels so sad to use. I wish it was a lot better
Renegade Platinum just gave mawile a small stat buff and huge power and so far it's done well for me
Mawile really should've gotten a normal evolution before it got a Mega.
But now that it has a Mega (which is now abandoned), I don't think it'll ever happen. And that really sucks because Mawile is adorable.
Just giving it huge power would make it do something.
@@RoseSupremeyes it’s mega should’ve been just a regular evolution. The fact it wasn’t is a travesty
@@JayClearman411 They should never give Megas to those with low BST, because Megas will inevitably be thrown away at some point, rendering the Pokémon useless again.
Beedrill should get a BST increase to compensate for its lack of a Mega.
11:51 To address each of you individually:
Metagross: I do not care if you're weak to Dark and Ghost, now. You are still the tank you always were.
Salamence: You have Intimidate, use it.
Lati Twins: Soul Dew. 'nuff said.
Rayquaza: They made an entire tier based on your Mega Evolution.
Sadly, Soul Dew is now almost worthless since gen 7. Unless I misunderstood you and you proposed to put it back to how it was prior and then I would 100% agree, you had the OU legal versions or you could make them Super Sayan and allow them to Duke it out in Uber with the Soul Dew
@@sephikong8323 my personal rebalancing of the item would be boosting its special stats by 30% each. basically a non recoil life orb that makes you more bulky.
alternatly, make it boost the offensive stats for latios and defensive stats for latias, if we want to specialize
The only type id actually change is Altaria. That Pokémon is much better suited as a Dragon/Fairy than having the flying as a secondary typing.
and i’d give it levitate too since it flies constantly
I had an accidental shiny Altaria in my ORAS run that I decided to use as my primary mega, and it was amazing. Dragon/Fairy is a great typing to help it out with a great moveset.
Altaria really needs it escpecially now that bdsp took dragon dance out of its movepool
As someone with Altaria as their favorite Pokémon, I would heavily object a type change for it. Levitate is already an overused ability, and in my opinion, doesn’t need to be given to any Pokémon who don’t need it. Altaria should stay Dragon / Flying.
And give it levitate?
Honestly out of all the Pokémon here Sableye and Mawile needed Mega Evolutions the most, even a regular evolution would've worked like you said. So... could you do a video that gives evolutions to Pokémon that need it next? :D
Sableye being compatible with an Eviolite would be annoying. It’s already a physical wall with its typing, ability prankster, and access to Will-o-wisp/foul play/recover.
Eevee need more lutions
Sableye, Mawile, Banette, and Absol were arguably the most desperately needed cases for Mega-evolutions in the games besides maybe Pinsir, Beedrill, and a bunch of Pokémon that were outright passed over for *any* buff at all.
@@Hatchumosc1 We ran out of special types though
@@ZenoDLC We do have some opportunities for a Poison or a Steel Type Eevelution
"Cursed Body does not benefit him in any way, shape or form"
*Laughs in Metronome battles*
I lost a battle because cursed body disabled bullet punch which lost me a battle
_THAT_ must be why I saw Pokemon using Struggle so much during Metronome battles!
No wonder why it's banned in showdown
A large majority of Pokemon in Metronome battle are ghost types. Because metronome like to call normal moves.
Just give Aerodactyl Head Smash and Brave Bird. That’s all it needs. Maybe a slight Attack buff too, but I feel like these moves would make up for a not that impressive stat.
Congrats! You made it very broken
It basically becomes better than Archeops, cos recoil doesn't cut its attack. Prefer the Aerilate change, makes a ton of sense for Dactyl who already at least has Rock Slide + Stone Edge iirc
@@serge2cool rock head choice band two shots Physically Defensive Ferrothorn,Corvoknight and Toxapex. Without having to worry about recoil
Yeah, it's so dumb that one of Aerodactyl's abilities is Rock Head, but since Gen 4 the only recoil move it learns is Take Down.
Give Sceptile those +25 points in Attack, its another charizard situation in which the physical movepool is way better on a Pokémon with special sweeper stats. It wouldn't be breaking any records, but then maybe it could more reliably go mixed for coverage.
That would give it 110 Atk, and I can't think of anything more beautiful than a 110 Atk and 120 Spd Dragon Dance Sceptile ripping through things with it's Coverage
@@grantdaily9662 I think it also bumps up its attack to Mega Sceptile's.
@@thenerdbeast7375 you may be right, idk I've never used Megas cause I just hated the mechanic
They should have given it earth power,sleep powder or spore,and aura sphere. It's attack should get a boost too.
well its a relic of the old days when typing of the move decided whether the move was special or not.
in gen 3 leaf blade was special, so was dragon claw and crunch.
"We won't change any types"
Lopunny "I guess I'm still useless... At least I still have my career on Rule34."
_hugs Lopunny to comfort them_
While the no type change only hurts Lopunny in not giving it any type advantage, it does learn a large variety of moves. There might not be any boost, but you can cover any weakness to Fighting and Ghost.
@@robertlupa8273 *wholesome 100* 🤗
Gardevior: "First time?"
A great fit for Gengar would be Infiltrator, for me Ghost attacks should circunvent Substitutes from nature but it would be a great ability.
Sceptile, Mawile, Sableye, and basically almost teh entirety of Hoenn and Johto pokemon need buffs or evolutions. Something permanent to help them in the long run.
I always thought sceptile just needs a new hidden ability like tough claws since its move pool on physical is better than special and because unburden felt unnecessary for an already fast pokemon
Mawile is the kind of Pokemon that has the movepool and abilities but just not the stats. If only it got a BST of 430 instead of 380 it would be so much better. Regular Mawile carried my USUM fairylocke
Yeah, Mawile has everything to be a excellent Pokémon if it wouldn't be for the stats...
Mega Mawile used as a new evolution named Mawbite would be amazing.
Theoretical but if mawile gained 30 more hp (80 hp), 10 defense (95 def) and 20 special defense (75 spd) that might suffice for it being a tanky intimidate mon? Amazing defensive type, access to hazards, thunder wave, fine stabs, knock off, this might make it solid in a low tier
For Sceptile, I propose a change many people have been suggesting for a while- swap its attack and special attack. Then add +10 to the new attack stat, +10 to defense, and +5 to speed. Maybe give it Tough Claws or a new ability that boosts the power of blade and slash moves by 20% and it should be good to go from there!
or give it +1 crit rate, since most blade moves are high crit rate.
@@thebravegallade731 You mean the new ability should give all slashing moves +1 crit rate?
Yeah I would much prefer this as a hidden ability than unburden because it's already fast as it is. Plus all that coverage that can't OHKO it be so much better to work as a mix attacker
My idea for a Sceptile buff is giving it solar power and making it a physical attacker
@@elilopez6260 does solar power only affect special attack?
For Banette I feel like simply giving it a trade evolution (just like Dusclops) is the best idea. Why not have it hold a Poké Doll, trade it, it evolves into whatever its evolution is?
It could become Ghost/Fairy or Ghost/Dark upon evolving.
Imagine if it can evolve different depending on the doll it holds
The most creative thing that could've been done for Bannet is was to make it the first Ghost/Normal since it's a Ghost possessing a doll which is a normal thing,to make it even more viable moveset improvement for the new stab and the old, plus a new ability that could be prankster or something that improves damage output.
Hoenn is probably my favourite region of Pokemon.......in terms of design. When it comes to stats, sweet Arceus, Hoenn was lucky it was coming time for it's remake cause these guys *struggled.* So many Pokemon fall to either having stats that don't reflect them or are a bad spread (Absol, Altaria), not having moveset to back them up (Manetric) or being an interesting but ultimately bad gimmick (take your pick man, there's so many. Spinda, Castform, Slaking, Shedinja).
ok tbh with Slaking, its a sloth and an ape, so Truant makes sense, plus its stat total is insanity, truant is the best way to keep it balanced
@@jaretco6423 yeah thats a good point: a lot of the pokemon from gen 3 range from awful to abysmal, very few manage to stand out as being good, of course some are meant to be good in a casual environment or playthrough such as camerupt
@@jaretco6423 Laughs in Johto mons
Hard agree. Just now realized how bad the hoenn mon neglect is and it hurts
@@nellewoodruff6337 yeah, Hoenn just like with Johto is cursed with a lot of very terrible pokemon, but with Hoenn there's so many gimmick mons that are so awful (kecleon, luvdisc, spinda, shedinja, castform, plusle & minun)
Just started the video... No type changes... Okay... Poor Altaria... The Dragon/Fairy type fit so well and it finally got to stand out... It was no longer in the shadow of the other Dragon/Flying types.
Haven't been this early since the last time I was this early.
you’re so early Mega Evolution still exists
@@JPRPokeTrainer98 LOL
Please water me
@@atree3510 Stay hydrated!
Mawile and Sableye just need an evolution, since technically the mega evolutions are in a different timeline then I don't see why not give them evolutions
It would be hard to think of a design evolution for both pokemon.
@@cdawg4021 would it though? i doubt that, the megas weren't very original to begin with, Sableye got a big rupee for it while Mawile just got another big jaw on its head
@@rockowlgamer631 yeah you're probably right in the next game they should get evolutions or in legends Arceus they could get regional form evolutions.
Ik that this is 1 year ago but the megas exist in the og timeline as well
Same for absol
I don’t want anyone to ever tell me that Hoenn has the best mons ever again
Hoenm has the second best mons
In terms of the design wise? Maybe. But battle wise? No. Not even close. I would say it's on par with Johto of having alot of bad Pokemons.
@@jaretco6423 at least hoenn actually gives you the mons. Johto had half it's original Pokemon locked behind the elite 4
David. True. But that isn't saying much.
You have metagross, salamence and the starter pokemon
Here's me weeping at all the love Luxray didn't get hearing all these stat buffs XD
Easy buff for sceptile is to boost it physical attack. Sword dance unburden is dope but it's mediocre attack stat really lets it down.
Sceptile should just receive speed boost instead of any other speed related ability and a damage improving hidden ability like adaptability or though claws.
He does have better physical attacks then special ones
I cry for Mawile every time someone mentions megas.
Watch them keep Dynamax next gen even though it’s probably the worst mechanic out of the three. It sucks that so many cool Pokemon got gutted.
It was for the best, ME was a really bad and hard to implement mechanic that only helped a selected few pokemon.
@@c0mpu73rguy plus it prevents things like Mawile or Bannette from getting an evolution, which let's be honest is what those megas should've been.
@Logan smith they can still get evolutions...you just have a choice, keep it as is to get the Mega or evolve it.
Oh and Megas are better then Dynamax, the show has proved that on a number of occasions already.
@@happiestaku6646 nope Mega is easily the weakest of the post-Gen V gimmicks
@@happiestaku6646 technically no… the rule with mega’s is they’re the last in their chain I believe. Feel free to correct me though although I agree mega’s were the best with Dynamax just being wildly unbalanced and Z-Moves… being Z-Moves and if you’ve ever tried to Nuzlocke an Alola game you know why Z-Moves are the worst of the 3
I literally only watched this to see how Mawile could be fixed, then I saw the self imposed limits on improvements at the start and now I'm worried because +25 total to stats is NOT enough to get 'em going.
Edit: Yep. Basically didn't even try. Didn't even give it Huge Power at least or SOMETHING to make it more useful in a set up or support kind of way. Ffs I miss Mega's so much.
Same! Idek know where he got the +25 total from. Middle evolutions add MUCH more stats to their final evolution. Kirlia went from 278 to Gardevoir 518. It wouldn't hurt to give Mawile at least 100 and give it Huge Power
Give Aerodactyl Head Smash and Brave Bird man.
There actually is president to change types between generations without adding a new type. Rotom experienced this with its various forms losing the ghost type in favor of the type of its associated move in Gen 5. You mentioned forms being different, but given that these forms were added at the same time as Shaymin (Platinum), whose form has a type change already it’s sort of a unique case. Gen 4 is where form differences really took off with gender differences, pseudo-regional variants/evolutions with Shellos/Gastrodon & Wormadam, and even weather-based form changes akin to Castform but without type change (Cherrim).
Personally I’d add some of the type changes, namely Altaria, Aggron, and Ampharos. Altaria really benefitted from the fairy type STAB and pixilate. Aggron’s rock typing is such a hinderance that I’d love to see it get removed like in the mega. And then there’s Ampharos that’s literally an electric dragon in Japanese
Almost all of these were just "I need an Evo" or "Just let me go fast"
I find it kinda funny, though I would've buffed the Kanto trio with 15 in Spd and 10 in SpAtk for Venasaur, 20 to Spd and 5 to SpAtk for Charizard and 15 to Spd and 10 to Hp for Blastoise
I’ve been hoping aerodactyl gets head smash and brave bird for a while; it’s attack stat isn’t too powerful to abuse these high base power attacks, and it utilizes the rock head ability.
Of all the regular evolutions, Mawile is the worst, which is why I loved its mega so much. It became so threatening and still could utilize its initial intimidate ability before going into huge power. I can at least argue a move set for all of the other Pokémon that isn’t immediately outclassed by opposing Pokémon. Like sableye at least can be a physical wall with its good typing and prankster will-o-wisp/foul play/recovery.
Inner focus on regular/mega gallade now would be amazing, not just for fake out, but it eliminates intimidate ability too
Right, they indirectly nerfed Intimidate.
I would just give sceptile tough claws. Leaf blades was its signature move back in gen3 but became useless for it when the physical/special split happened. Plus it's fast enough as it is it so you can put 25pts into it's health or attack stats. Like there's no reason for sceptile to be getting tons of physical moves and not have the stats to back it up.
Give Ampharos Tail Glow, it’s the one pokemon that deserves it
I don’t know in Sceptile’s case it should’ve always been intended to be Grass/Dragon. Although it unbalances itself with Blaziken and Swampert. It can now take full advantage of its now more fleshed out dragon movepool.
As for stats and ability, swap out its stats and replace its ability unburden with technician to make use of its surprisingly good technician movepool. Especially given that it has access to Technican Bullet Seed, Dual Chop, and Scale shot the dragon typing would give Sceptile a whole new identity.
Edit: I didn’t even finished the video we were already on those same vibes 😂
With how I see this video, I can only imagine you looking down on a Mawile on a hospital bed after experiencing a terrible car accident before sticking a Band-Aid on it's head saying "You'll be fine." Yeah most of these guys deserved better long ago.
Now I just feel sad for Mawile. =(
Gyarados:
Give it a better Flying move than Bounce and Hurricane
Aerodactyl: Give more moves that actually benefits his Rock Head ability. Head Smash, Brave Bird you name it
Ampharos:
I don't why they got rid of Signal Beam, that was vital coverage Ampharos needed tbh.
Scizor:
On top of the speed buff, I think I would put that remaining 15 into HP
Houndoom:
If you want it to be more of a Mixed attacker than I would actually only put 15 in Speed and 10 in Attack. 90 is kinda low to be a mixed attacker
Swampert:
Not buffing too hard but give it a more useful HA than Damp. Maybe Storm Drain
Gardevoir:
I would probably like to give it Serene Grace, it would be fun tbh
Mawile/Sableye:
These pokemon just flat out need a new evolution in general.
Absol/Banette:
Needs a better stat spread in general.
Manetric:
Needs a moveset overhaul immediately
Altaria: Should've been part Fairy in it's regular form. Turns out to be a great defensive typing
Abomasnow:
Desperately needs Thick Fat so this doesn't become Fire types favorite snack. Also give it 15 in Sp. Att and 10 in regular Att or put those 25 all into defense so it at least has a fighting chance to live with that horrid defensive typing
I’d give Sceptile the ability Solar Power simply because the seeds on its back look like they should increase Sceptile’s power kinda like what it looks like when it uses solar beam in the anime. I’d add 5 points to special attack and 20 points to attack so it can operate as a physical or mixed attacker like Game Freak seems to think Sceptile is when you look at its move pool. Adding more special moves to Sceptile’s move pool would also help it. Things like earth power, air slash, and sleep powder would also help its utility.
Maybe adding some atk points for Sceptile to make use of its leaf blade?
Lucario has been viable in competitive since gen 4, he doesn't need buffs, even though it's a fan favorite
Also I never noticed how many hoenn pokemon were completely unviable without megas. No wonder they received them... And then they five it to Salamence instead of Flygon
I mean, in the higher tiers, it's only viable in gen 4 and the gen 4 remakes (due to the limited Dex) ..... and gen 6 and 7 Uber thanks to it's Mega. It itself is ...... okay ? It's not bad but it suffers a lot from Powercreep as it's fast but not really and it's relatively strong on both sides but not remarkable either
Flygon didn't get a mega because they "couldn't think of a design". But Kangaskhan just has the baby out of the pouch and some of them are just bigger.
lower tiers, sure, but base 90 REALLY doesn't cut it for how frail it is and lacking quiver or ddance.
Nah, it's too slow today and doesn't hit hard enough without boosting, which is already risky on frail defenses.
4:44 I actually used mega pinsir and skill swap spinda in the past and it was very fun
Mawile is my fave pokemon of all time, and honestly I'd cut out Hyper Cutter for Strong Jaw. And +20 Attack and +20 HP. Even that isn't enough to reach its prior glory, but maybe a new Moveset would be nice.
A new Signature Move would be helpful, and I think what would be perfect is:
"Metal Maw", which acts like a steel type biting Sucker Punch.
Or, a steel move with maybe 40 power, but triggers an effect like leech seed, to heal the user.
I really wanted it to get a Gmax form that turned into a giant cave, but sigh, too late now.
I actually disagree on the Banette one. I would like to see the 25 be put into Speed instead. Would make it a decent Pokémon to Scarf, or do more Prankster shenanigans still
I know it's against the rules, but I'd make Charizard and Ampharos part Dragon Type. Mold Breaker Dragon Ampharos was such a fun little surprise!
Also I respectfully disagree on Lucario, I'd distribute the extra 25 points to its defensive stats because man is that thing frail
A lot of people suggest that either A) switch it's 85 Atk and 105 Sp. Atk or B) give it a much better special movepool
It's special movepool is ass, only Grass STAB, Dragon Pulse, Focus Miss and whiling it lasted, Hidden Power (Fire). Give it more special moves like Nasty Plot, Earth Power (Venusaur and Abomasnow both got it in gen 8) or maybe even Thunderbolt
Whiling it's physical movepool is great (including Drain Punch, Thunder Punch, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Acrobatics, Sword Dance, Dragon Dance, also Leaf Blade is more spammable than Leaf Storm), it sadly doesn't have the Atk stat to utilize it well
Pretty much, you have nailed it on the dot. Though I would also recommend letting it learn aqua tail and psycho cut if it became more physical. Serperior can learn aqua tail through move tutor and Decidueye can learn psycho cut in SwSh. Yet Sceptile, has a giant bulky tree tail and blades in its arms, can’t learn them but the other two can. Why? Generally curious why not though.
@@Waltbe09 They forgot about him lol
@@robertlupa8273 yes
@@Waltbe09 Serperior gets Aqua Tail??
@@skullerclawerbandicoot7966 yep look at serebii for gen 5-7 Pokédex’s
11:50 Everbody but Latias is giving JPR the stink eye and I can't blame them like Metagross wants to be Tony Stark's Roomba again, Salamance wants his strawberry "quoissant" wings back, Latios...why did he even get a mega, and Rayquaza wants to be God again.
For Sceptile, how about Skill Link? Bullet Seed is its signature in the anime and gives it some niches, also throw in a few more multi-hit moves.
Gyarados still need a Physical Flying Type move, so it can make use of its secondary typing in an offensive manner
Mewtwo is a legendary, but it doesn't do well competitively because of it's frail defenses and power creep
All of Hoenn needs Arceus.
Garchomp. I laughed.
Also... Speed Power Creep is real. 100 Base Speed is how fast Mew is. And there are too many Pokemon that are faster than that... and deserve to be faster than 100 Speed BST. Let's overhaul every Pokemon's speed stat.
to be honest, Mewtwo's problem is not in the form of mewtwo itself and moreso the fact that they released a pokemon that was hand-crafted to be mewtwo-but-better in the form of Calyrex-shadow
JPR be like : " I am speed"
I'd swap Sceptile's attack and special attack. It was clearly designed to be a physical attacker, but was made a special attacker because it's a grass type and gen 3 predated the physical/special split.
I see Mega Evolution - I click 😆 Merry Christmas man !!! Also your voice is really smooth 😍
Yo, Gamefreak
Give my girl Mawile an evolution already
But keep her cute, don't go around giving us Jynx 2.0, ya'll hear me?
Swampert should get regenerate! It be cool to make it like the actual animal
exactly cause Damp is a dogshit ability, Regenerator is 100x better and is more in line with swampert being a tanky salamander
For the Hoenn Pokémon, how about making an evolution based on their mega with about half the added stats?
I think Aerodactyl just needs Head Smash and Brave Bird. It makes sense why it doesn't get either, but getting both would make Rock Head useful and heavily buff Aerodactyl
You came so close to dropping this in the morning on the East Coast
Sometimes I do it just for fun lol
I think Sceptile should have its Attack and Sp Att switched since thats kinda what screwed it ever since the physical/special split. The only reason its Sp Att is higher than its attack is bc it was introduced on gen 3 where physical grass types didn't make sense. Ability maybe Tough Claws or Hyper Cutter? If you'd wanna be wild you could go Speed Boost but since Blaziken already has that probably not.
"Physical Grass types didn't make sense in Gen 3"
Meanwhile Gen 3: _adds Breloom_
@@robertlupa8273 yeah ok good point lmao
@@robertlupa8273 Also Breloom : *Is a Fighting Type.*
But anyways do you know a funny thing ? Dark type was a special type and most of Dark types Mons were physical attackers.
Uh JPR 5:15 Aerodactyl got dual wingbeat 80 bsp so it actually has solid flying STAB now.
i got a good chuckle out of the outright denial to buff select mons, especially the pseudos and mewtwo those quips were priceless
I'd change Swampert's Hidden Ability from Damp to Swift Swim.
For Altaria, give it No Guard and you can run a Perish Trap Set with Sing, oh and 100% Sleep would be nice in vgc too I think.
The set would be: Sing, Fire Spin, Roost, Perish Song
The way to fix Sableye and Mawile is to give them regural evolutions so they could benefit from Eviolite.
Eviolite intimidate Mawile would definitely do numbers in the lower tiers
Buff Flygon he deserve it since he never got an Mega Evolution 😭🥺💔
I have been saying that Ampharos needs to have Electric Surge for YEARS!!! Let that be it’s hidden ability! “Plus” as an ability? What even is that?!!!
Honestly I think that if fairy type existed back then Altaria would have been fairy/flying because what about its design says it’s a dragon
Imagine trying to buff psuedo-legendaries not named Goodra? (i would say Kommo-o too, but he has everything he needs to succeed, at least in singles)
_sad snail noises_
I’d give Sceptile a boost to his offense; he’s already enough if a glass canon to a degree. I could also suggest giving him super luck for his crits with moves like leaf blade or even sniper if that’s the case.
Sceptile is one of those mons whos movepool doesnt fit its stats. Its a special attacker with mostly physical moves. I would swap its special and physical and technician is a great ability
I still don't understand how you gave Gallade only +20, while Gardevoir recieved +25.
Same if anything gallade looks way faster not to mention the fighting type
Venusaur: I got thick fat
Blastoise: I got mega luncher
Charizard: I got a stealth rock
I feel like Diancie could be good with Filter. Lean into those giant defensive stats
Hot take: Megas were a mistake. It took away the potential for evolutions for those non 3 stage pokemon lines, AND a lot of powerful pokemon just got massive buffs undeservedly.
Still better than the later gimmicks in my opinion. But I agree that it would have been much better to simply give more new evolutions to lackluster Pokemon
I like Megas but I’m not a fan of giving them to fan favorites. Megas should be given to Pokemon that actually need it.
Yeah, I like the "Oh, people love this. Let's make it look cooler." but I'm glad they were "Y'know, this needs something, anything to make it better."
Then nobody would care about it.
That's what makes me hate Mega Evolution. They've been given it to the one's that are either popular ( like Charizard, Venasaur, Blastoise, Gengar, Lucario, Garchomp & Mewtwo ) or given to what was already an great Pokemon to become more & ridiculously O.P. ( like Salamance, the Weather Trio Legendaries, the Lat Twins, Blaziken, Swampert, Garchomp & Mewtwo ).
@@jaretco6423 thank you exactly. I love the designs, but what you just said perfectly describes my frustration with Megas
Sceptile needs Sharpness when he comes in the DLC that’s all I want
I still don't really understand why no gen 6 mons got Megas other than Diancie. I guess since it was such a significant boost, they wanted them to stand on their own? That's all I can think of. What makes even less sense is *Audino* being the only gen 5 mega. I'm not mad Audino got one. I'm just very confused why it was the only one when there were multiple worthy candidates like Zebstrika or Seismetoad.
What's up with Gen 5 only getting one new gimmick form? First Mega Audino, now G-Max Garbodor
Going to add moveset additions as well:
Venusaur: I’d give Venusaur more offensive moveset buffs: Poison Jab, Rock Slide, Crunch and Focus Blast. What it has works, even as a sun sweeper, but has been lacking a physical Poison STAB since Gen 4 and always had a somewhat limited offensive movepool. Plus all the moves I mentioned are common among other Pokemon.
Pidgeot: I agree with your buffs, also want more special moves like Boomburst.
Kangaskhan: Agreed
Aerodactyl: Needs Head Smash
Ampharos: Needs Tail Glow. I know it’s not called Tail Glow in Japanese (Firefly Light in Japanese) but Manaphy gets it.
Mawile: Definitely needs more than +25. Doesn’t make sense to make it have BST between first and second stage starters and even in Gen 8, you see NPCs use it late in the game. Same with Sableye for the buff.
Sceptile: Needs a physical attack buff or a few more Special moves.
Gardevoir: Since you say Gardevoir needs a +25 buff, Gallade needs it since he’s Gardevoir’s counterpart.
Medicham: Maybe get Knock Off or Throat Chop
Manectric: Scorching Sands is mainly learned by Fire and Ground types, so it’s not that likely. I think Grass Knot or Energy Ball would be good since it’d help out, and that those moves are common.
Banette: Needs to be faster and have a better physical movepool. High attack but only learns Ghost, Dark, Normal moves and Gunk Shot
Abomasnow: Needs a speed buff
"If Gardie gets +25, so should Gally 'cause they're counterparts"
Meanwhile Game Freak: _buffs Poliwrath but not Politoed_
_buffs Beautifly but not Dustox_
Also give Aggron Filter/Solid Rock and buff it’s Sp. Def
Give Sceptile Sharpness! STAB and Sharpness boosted Leaf Blade
Agreed unburden is not enough especially with the lack of 💎 in game.
I really liked the majority of change but one, Electric Surge should be Electivire's ability. For such a cool design and a supposed very powerful electric type to not have a good ability is beyond stupid.
I rather have Ampharos with Lightning Rod, it fits really well with it's design.
Aggron is a testament of how they need to rework Rock-Type altogether, for being rock hard, it SUUUUUUUUUCKS defensively.
I would've switched Blaziken's speed stat with his Special Attack stat. It has great lower body strength and can jump as high as a skyscraper. It should be able to move fast
Vídeo ideia: What if Gigantamax changed types, stats and abilities
I didn't remenber how many crappy Hoenn Pokémon there are
yess gardevoir + gallade with +25 speed would be so great!
I personally don’t think Megas should have ever existed, but the third stage Pokémon should just get buffs, and the ones that aren’t third stage should get new evolutions.
I agree.
+20 atk for sceptile would be amazing
Im working on a gen 3 rom hack and literally just gave beedrill Mega beedrills stats. It REALLY needs it and since i cant really program new abilities into the ROM it just has swarm. Even WITH the 100 more points his BST is still underwhelming. And it still gets bodied by rock types or literally anything that breath in its direction really
Honestly, Scrappy Lucario sounds too perfect.
Instead of providing mega evolutions just provide new evolutions to the pokemon over the years that have been deemed useless, like they did in gen 4 withe Galade, Froslass, Togekiss, Gliscor, Electavire, Magmortar, etc.
Heracross looks like a fast Pokémon? Okay…
Keep Audino normal add 5 points in Def and spdef and give it friend guard.
Haracross 15 in attack 5 on Def and spdef add technician give it loaded dice it would be a pretty powerful trick room mon.
I think houndoum should also get drought as an ability
It's almost like Hoenn Pokemon got the short end of the stick and feel naked without their Megas. They're better off with a regular evolution at this point.
Technically, rotom is precedent for type changing between gens
And before that, Magnemite and Magneton gained Steel type in Gen II.
Amazing video i was waiting for this topic but no one made it you earned my subscription
BUFFING SLOWBRO'S BULK???
I think it would have been alot more interesting if instead of limiting the amount of points given you instead limit how big the base stat total can be (I personally thing a BST of 525 should be the cut off)
in my opinion there is one change that needs to be done to Swampert: he needs a better hidden ability as damp is completely useless
giving him back swift swim would be cool....but i think for a salamander like itself i think giving swampert regenerator would work wonders
Oh please. No! We don't give an broken starter Pokemon more broken moves.
@@jaretco6423 Regenerator is an ability, and tbh like i said: Damp is a totally worthless ability and Swampert NEEDS an ability thats better, regenerator would be great to match with his tanky stats, swift swim is good for rain, poison touch could be an interesting thing to have, just....SOMETHING that is more beneficial then an ability that is extremely situational its worthless
Honestly, I thought Swampert was already broken enough due to it's combo type for an starter Pokemon and with access of Swift Swim & others, it was already amazing enough.
For sceptile I’d give it technician and give all 25 for physical attack since it gets really good physical moves like leaf blade and earthquake
The anime hinted at a battle bound ninjask when they revealed the Battle bond Greninja.
Which would be cool.
But would require you to kill something with ninjask
One good solution would be to give Pokémon their mea evolutions as new evolutions if they still have a slot available.
For example Banette, Mawile.
Or if they only have two abilities (regular and hidden) they could add the ability of the mega to the Pokémon line.
Sharpedo would get Strong Jaw and Garchomp gets Sand Force.
Honestly if Megas were to never return, every non-legendary and non-3-stage-evolution from Gen 3 shouldn’ve had their Megas be turned into regular evolutions, also Abomasnow, Lopunny and Audino.
And also the Dragon type permanently being added to Ampharos, plus some of the stat buffs and ability changes from this video for the rest like Pidgeot and Beedrill.
While we’re at it, they should really do this with some of the Gigantamax forms like Alcreamie, Kingler and Dreadnaw as well, because it’s most probably not returning as a feature.
I mean, yeah. These ability updates are needed.
But why not make items like the Light Ball? It takes the item slot, so you can boost these stats further than 25 points.
Or instead of stats, it can add as a smaller secondary ability. Pokemon like Sableye, for utility.
