I don’t understand why they stoped with mega evolution it’s a ingenious idea, a way to make old Pokémon relevant and raise interest in the games as there’s a rush to find which Pokémon can mega evolve and what you need to do to get them
As a person with a favorite pokemon being Beedrill, its lovely to see that they gave him a mega evo. He definitely deserves it. Same with gmax butterfree
Yeah it's a throwback for sure. Every now and then I get really bad nostalgia and find so much from my childhood especially obscure cartoon network shows the cartoon network bump commercial and universe. Old Disney movies power rangers etc etc
oh my god heatmor and durant you're a genius I've always wanted Golurk and Hydreigon for that sort of fan-favorite appeal (and like... they need it, too, honestly), but if we were living in a world with Mega Heatmor and Mega Durant? Damn... THEY EVEN GAVE HEATMOR A SIGNATURE MOVE IN GEN 6 And for what?!
I like how mega evolution brought the monstrous power out of pokemon. Instead of focusing on the pocket, cute, the current trend has been going. It was a risky choice that worked out for the most part.
To be honest I actually like that Garchomp offers a tradeoff instead of a pure power boost. I would have really liked this approach for all pseudo-legendaries/legendaries to prevent them from raising the power ceiling even more.
Except that maybe you don't realize this, but what you said is exactly the reason why Mega Garchomp is by and large ignored in terms of competitive viability. The lowered speed stat just isn't worth giving up to boost it's offensive abilities, and it loses a lot of defensive merit as well since it no longer has rough skin to passively hurt enemies attacking it and cannot use held items like leftovers to restore HP each turn or a rocky helmet to make the damage done through it's ability even more punishing. And that's without getting into the fact that it can no longer use choice items as well, which it is more than capable of taking advantage of. Because of all these reasons, the mega evolution of Garchomp is considered to be the worse form to use it in
@@matthewkuscienko4616 Oh I realize that, but it is not like Garchomp on its own is bad to begin with, so I'm glad that they didn't just make it even more overpowered, otherwise Mega Garchomp would have certainly landed in UBER.
@@altermann1991 ehh it probably wouldn't be an uber as base garchomp already has a higher attack stat than its mega when holding a life orb so even if mega garchomp didn't lose any speed it wouldn't suddenly be broken
The funniest thing about Mega Sableye, is that in Vgc, its actually worse than normal Sableye, by a lot, normal Sableye has a really cool niche by being a Prankster mon thats immune to Fake Out and the only Prankster mon with Quash, Mega-Sableye doesnt have this niche.
it’s not actually the only prankster mon with quash murkrow gets it as well which is why it had a niche in gen 5 vgc because with eviolite quash it’s not bad
Wait, so according to the pokedex when you mega evolve Kangaskan the mega energy goes to the baby. When Kangaskan mega evolves it’s base stats in defence go up. Does this mean when using a punching move against mega Kangaskan my pokemon is also punching the kangaskan’s child?
Garchomps main flaw is it’s special attack, the points that went into that stat could’ve easily gone into spdef and def (with def being higher.) Then it would back up the loss in speed and could tank hits while hitting boosted moves from sand force. That would not be nearly as bad
Or they could just.. not remove his speed? or even better yet! not give the overpowered sand fish any special treatment when he's already calmly clapping cheeks with the beeg UBER bois
@@azzydreamurr5677 Sorry but what ? Set up Lugia ? The only place I ever heard this was back in I believe series 8 of VGC this year with Weakness Policy.

Mega beedrill was insanely nasty to use. Especially when you maxed out its speed and special attack. It's ability adaptability made it so dangerous, especially using fell stinger correctly.
The thing is I have been using a Beedrill ever since firered/leafgreen came out. I mean he has plenty of uses. Ariel Ace beedrill with 5 levels under the guys at the fighting dojo still sweeps. When he got his mega, he became one I would use always. Sad to see the mega's gone because it made beedrill more than just an early final evolution.

Mega Absol was so underrated from my experience it was a Dark Type with 150 Atk and Magic Bounce who learn Knock Off. Thats the best combination for a wallbreaker.
Yeah, but it's just way too fragile. Meaning that even if you can't get statused by the stall pokemon, they can still hit you hard. And any pokemon that can survive an attack from Mega Absol can just OHKO it in return. 150 attack is good, but without an offensive ability to add on to that attack stat, it just inst enough power. A great offensive mon needs to have a good attacking stat, an ability that compliments this stat, and a good movepool. Mega Absol is fast and fragile, if it could hold a Choice Band it would be great, but as it stands, 150 attack without a life orb or choice band isn't powerful enough to OHKO most bulky pokemon, and it's do frail that most enemy attacks will defeat it.
@@babywizard9027 And by todays meta he is not even that fast and things like Dracovish exist who are way better at wallbreaking. But if they buff his Def and SpDef to at least 80 or 90 and also 160 atk, Absol would have been in a much better spot. But Absol have the tools to be powerful, it's just that it don't have the stats like 90% of all Pokemons. Specially because is competing for the Mega Slot.
@@theamericanbrotherofmightg3734 Mega Absol feels like it could've been a regular evolution. It's simply not good enough to compete for a mega slot with stuff like Mega Salamence, but if it could hold an item and not take up a Mega slot, it would be really good. I could definitely see it as an OU, maybe even Uber staple, with multiple sets like Choice Band, Choice Scarf, and even Swords Dance, as an offensive pokemon with Magic Bounce, it would occupy a unique niche that's actually pretty good, and it would finally be able to use an item to give it the power boost it so desperately needs.
yeah tbh i picked sceptile over swampert alot but i like the mega especially the strats you can do when its not mega like giving it a focus sash and ice punch for people back then it pbb that just use salamence to sweep
I was shiny hunting Azelf in Pokémon Platinum while watching this video. The Shiny Gods blessed me with the shiny in 1770 SR's!!! (This is my first shiny hunt) An amazing video as always, killing with that humor
I love mega evolution, but I wish it wasn’t given to a ton of strong Pokémon. That’s probably why my favorite mega evolutions are Ampharos, Sableye, Altaria, Absol, and Slowbro. Because those are weaker Pokémon who could have used a buff and they gave them a mega to buff them.
plus abrol and altaria were actually insanely strong with their mega forms, giving them a chance to shine in actual competitive matches. imo slowbro was always pretty good though, i never considered him weak but the mega is welcome
I'm still upset we're not getting sinnoh Megas... That felt like the whole point when they came out originally... To one day have a giant mega turtle fight a giant mega monkey then get curb stomped by a giant mega penguin.
So happy Beedrill was number 1, easily my favorite mega. Always loved how beedrill looked, so they made him more badass looking and also a massive glass cannon. Perfect.
Sigilyph would have been a great evolution. It was based on Nazca Lines, so the possibility for improving on its design with a mega to make it like the hawk Nazca Line instead of the hummingbird would have been awesome.
I found you exactly 20 minutes ago with your trade evolution video. I was convinced but wanted to watch another video to make sure you truly were THAT godlike And then my man comes along and drops a Xiaolin Showdown reference within two minutes and I'm SOLD!

Hey Mr1upz, I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I never knew you were a fellow tea drinker like myself and I 100% vibe way more with the british jokes you pull off in your videos. I've been pretty sick this past week but I feel a lot better since I spent time binge watching your videos because I absolutely love your humor so much. Thanks again man, I can't wait for more of these o/
@@abdulplayzx3063 if you talkin bout design aight thats your opinion, but competitive wise you're better off saving your mega slot for somethimg better and giving your garchomp a lifeorb or leftovers.
Hell yeah! Seeing my all time favorite Pokemon's mega at the top 3 is great to see! Pidgeot did indeed need that mega form! For the longest time, my poor bird was getting overshadowed. (Still pissed megas are gone in Gen 8) Seeing my Pidgeot kick some serious ass in the battles I had was so great!
Too bad it got Solar Power. It would have benefited more from Dark Aura jacking up Dark Pulse. However, aside from giving it a useless and arguably detrimental ability - I don't think the power boost in Drought/Sunny Day is worth it if you keep losing health until the sun wears off - Mega Evolution does improve Houndoom. It's no longer getting pounded into the ground by every Mach Punch and Aqua Jet that comes its way thanks to a considerable Defence boost and its Special Defence, Special Attack and Speed get increased too.
Sableye, before Gen 8, was OU with its prankster ability. True pokemon trainers know how nuisance and dangerous it can be. Burning your Pokemon with Wil-o-s, regenerate its HP with recover, hitting you with Foul Play. If you don't have a fairy or special type pokemon, Sableye can basically sweep your 3-pokemon team of pseudo legendaries like Tyranitar, Garchomp and Salamence
Talking about Psuedos, Metagross and Salamence were the only 2 megas which were worth it. I'd say Metagross really needed that 110 speed stat as it crippled to Dark types from Gen 6 but Salamence got absurdly overpowered with amazing sweeping capabilities and good defenses which it lacked.
“The ozone’s favorite pool noodle even gets his own anything goes tier to play around in with the gigantamax lot” Why did this make me laugh so god damn hard
Imagine if Mega Pokemon were a permanent form that each had a very unique mission to get it's Mega Stone, which would have them evolve permanently mid battle. Of course the og games would have had only 1 of each stone
Nah, make a couple part of their natural evolution where they gain the stats and the look. Like pidgeot could just look like mega pidgeot; it just naturally evolves into it from pidgeotto. You could have the normally recessive/dormant genes that mega stones typically awaken by force be dominant to decently rare in this region. Having some mega forms occuring naturally and others spawning out in the wild would be cool as hell.
Implying sableye had nothing going for it in base pfffff. Sableye was my answer for dragon types back in gen 5 before fairies. Being able to just come in and burn things, clean em up with foul play. You got that prankster taunt and recover too.
Gen 5 is my favorite and I would have loved to see golurk, hydreigon, the starters, haxorus, musharna, chandelure Hell i would hav been fine with most things except the monkeys
@@pedromonteiro2248 if we where basing whether something deserves a mega off appearance then mewtwo, garchomp, lucario, khangaskhan and sharpedo do not deserve them either
@@ethan_6strings186 I don’t know what you meant... none of these Pokémon listed by you are overdesigned. And, to be honest, some of them got near perfect Mega designs like Mewtwo, Lucario and Garchomp. Gen 5 Pokémon don’t deserve Megas.
No matter how many times in GO, I always find myself using mega Beedrill. Fucking goated. Beautiful design and not hard to get ahold of. And it’s sheer power is crazy.
I apologize for being super late to this, but I just wanted to share my personal opinion on mega Heracross. I agree that it might not look the best for sure, but it looks much more like the animal its name was based on (Hercules Beetle) instead of being just a plain old rhinoceros beetle. To mildly add to this, the Japanese name of Heracross is only a single letter away from the Japanese name of Hercules beetle (ヘラクレス or to put it in English, Heracress) so I just want to give out a tiny bit of justification for Mega Heracross. Yeah, it still could use an improvement or two though.
And that goes even further when you realize Diancie's Pokedex entries state how it's a mutated Carbink! Mutated to end up with main character syndrome in the 14th movie!
Mawhile, Sabeleye, and Beedrill are the type of pokemon that mega evolution was meant for.

18:28 Charizard
22:45 Pidgeot needed an upgrade
*DO NOT CALL SWAMPERT A F*CKING BOY!*
Swampert lover 🗿🤝🗿
Got so happy to see him up there! My favorite mega, from my favorite Pokemon (can't pick between Swampert and Xurkitree)
12:01 "The ozone's favorite pool noodle" is not something I expected to hear. Perfect phrasing though
Mega Garchomp has the exact problem of Super Saiyan Grade 3 in Dragonball. Sacrificing speed for power really sucks.
Imagine if mega chomp had sand rush
@@antoniodibello7805 It'd get quickbanned to Anything Goes.
I love mega evolution, but I wish it wasn’t given to a ton of strong Pokémon.
That’s probably why my favorite mega evolutions are Ampharos, Sableye, Altaria, Absol, and Slowbro. Because those are weaker Pokémon who could have used a buff and they gave them a mega to buff them.
I mean they had to give it to more powerful Pokemon and it’s a good thing
plus abrol and altaria were actually insanely strong with their mega forms, giving them a chance to shine in actual competitive matches. imo slowbro was always pretty good though, i never considered him weak but the mega is welcome
at the time you wrote this Slowbro was OU
And Lopunny?
I'm still upset we're not getting sinnoh Megas... That felt like the whole point when they came out originally... To one day have a giant mega turtle fight a giant mega monkey then get curb stomped by a giant mega penguin.
So happy Beedrill was number 1, easily my favorite mega. Always loved how beedrill looked, so they made him more badass looking and also a massive glass cannon. Perfect.
Considering Lucario is currently NUBL in competitive singles, I'd say he actually does need his Mega.
Please do not call Lucario a he!
@@Amelia4111 he
He's lacking in the speed department so the mega definitely helped
@@Amelia4111 he
@@bigmonke3348 lucario is my favorite mon and his speed sucks so he definitely needed the boost
Sigilyph would have been a great evolution. It was based on Nazca Lines, so the possibility for improving on its design with a mega to make it like the hawk Nazca Line instead of the hummingbird would have been awesome.
I don't hate the mon but hell no
Making it go from Aslla Piscu to Wiraqocha Rasca, huh?
Bro think about Mega Volcarona
I found you exactly 20 minutes ago with your trade evolution video. I was convinced but wanted to watch another video to make sure you truly were THAT godlike
And then my man comes along and drops a Xiaolin Showdown reference within two minutes and I'm SOLD!
0:22 I'll tell you this.
Even back then, you were funny as hell to watch
Cannot disagree
Can't wait to see "I RANKED ALL GYM LEADERS" then not a moment later getting a notification of "I RANKED ALL ELITE FOURS" somehow a even better video than the last. 10/10
Fun fact: your bones are wet
There actually porous meaning they absorb moisture when you touch them
I think I’m not positive on that
What do I do with this info?
Let me just dry them out real quick
@@supersonicsandshrew9742 What the fuck
@@rib902 I am literally living inside your walls
I absolutely love the amount of references you make, shaolin showdown, arrested development, it's always sunny, dragonball, yugioh, Johnny bravo, and I know that I missed or forgot about some when typing this
XIAOLIN, NOT SHAOLIN!
3:29 audino is adorable leave it alone 💔💔💔
Not sure why “eatin’ the loft insulation” got a hearty laugh outta me.
3:44
Where's the love for my guy Reuniclus?
That psychic jelly fetus really needed the mega, because unless you can get a trick room up, he isnt too threatening
Hey Mr1upz, I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I never knew you were a fellow tea drinker like myself and I 100% vibe way more with the british jokes you pull off in your videos. I've been pretty sick this past week but I feel a lot better since I spent time binge watching your videos because I absolutely love your humor so much. Thanks again man, I can't wait for more of these o/
Blastoise: "im gonna grow some more deadly weapons on my arms and shell!"
Also Blastoise: *Proceeds to shoot water from eyes*
That joke about Alakazam’s brain absolutely slayed me.
"he would be paying arceus a visit real quick if mega beedrill spawned"
*"Or maybe he'd be seeing giratina"*
Latios, Latias, and Garchomp are my three favorite Pokémon. It’s so sad how they got such shit megas
Garchomp got a good mega
@@abdulplayzx3063 that’s your opinion but I disagree
@@abdulplayzx3063 if you talkin bout design aight thats your opinion, but competitive wise you're better off saving your mega slot for somethimg better and giving your garchomp a lifeorb or leftovers.
Worst part is they were Pokémon that didn’t deserve Megas and they didn’t even come out good🤦♂️
@@fatestaytilted8849 if most of the points in sp.atk were spread out through attack and speed, mainly speed, then mega garchomp could be very strong
my goat with another fire upload 😩
Hell yeah! Seeing my all time favorite Pokemon's mega at the top 3 is great to see! Pidgeot did indeed need that mega form! For the longest time, my poor bird was getting overshadowed. (Still pissed megas are gone in Gen 8) Seeing my Pidgeot kick some serious ass in the battles I had was so great!
*WE DON'T SAY ASS IN POKEMON! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?*
The Shaolin Showdown crew needs half of the missing Nuclear warheads when a Mega Sabeleye walk in.
Mega houndoom looks amazing. Literally couldn’t look any better.
Too bad it got Solar Power. It would have benefited more from Dark Aura jacking up Dark Pulse. However, aside from giving it a useless and arguably detrimental ability - I don't think the power boost in Drought/Sunny Day is worth it if you keep losing health until the sun wears off - Mega Evolution does improve Houndoom. It's no longer getting pounded into the ground by every Mach Punch and Aqua Jet that comes its way thanks to a considerable Defence boost and its Special Defence, Special Attack and Speed get increased too.
3:38
My man be like: *You had one job, one easy job, and you failed it*
The mad lad has reawakened for this uploading season. I pretty much fell out of pokemon but your vids are too good to not watch
10:11 gamefreak was prob extremely tired on that day and said give ampharos a cut, give it the dragon type and call it a day
Missed a prime opportunity to say that Mega Alakazam got ex-spoon-entially more powerful
“Ozone’s favourite pool noodle “😂😂that cracked me up big time for rayquaza
Sorry it took 22 minutes to get here, was busy rewatching all your stuff again.
Easily my favourite content creator always love to see you upload
Sableye, before Gen 8, was OU with its prankster ability. True pokemon trainers know how nuisance and dangerous it can be. Burning your Pokemon with Wil-o-s, regenerate its HP with recover, hitting you with Foul Play. If you don't have a fairy or special type pokemon, Sableye can basically sweep your 3-pokemon team of pseudo legendaries like Tyranitar, Garchomp and Salamence
Mega ray was just a "Fuck it, we ballin" evolution
Glad to see Lopunny rating so high, it's my favorite mega :]
Ayo what
3:05 Mega Abomasnow looks like he's at the starting line of a 40 yard dash too lmfao
Talking about Psuedos, Metagross and Salamence were the only 2 megas which were worth it. I'd say Metagross really needed that 110 speed stat as it crippled to Dark types from Gen 6 but Salamence got absurdly overpowered with amazing sweeping capabilities and good defenses which it lacked.
This video was just a reason for Mr1upz to roast Pokémon
“The ozone’s favorite pool noodle even gets his own anything goes tier to play around in with the gigantamax lot”
Why did this make me laugh so god damn hard
I actually have Mega Lucario and Mega Blaziken at S Tier because they're my favorites and they look too cool to reject!
Welp looks like we might get another mega evolution rank in the future
I thought o was gonna due from humor overdose when you called rayquaza the "ozone favorite pool noodle"🤣🤣🤣
I can’t wait for the Primal Evolution tier list!
Wait…
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and gah damn, your commentary is funny as hell.
If X and Y get a remake someday, we need Flygon, Milotic and Dragonite megas, at least.
this content is gold subbed!
Imagine if Mega Pokemon were a permanent form that each had a very unique mission to get it's Mega Stone, which would have them evolve permanently mid battle. Of course the og games would have had only 1 of each stone
WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT!
Nah, make a couple part of their natural evolution where they gain the stats and the look. Like pidgeot could just look like mega pidgeot; it just naturally evolves into it from pidgeotto. You could have the normally recessive/dormant genes that mega stones typically awaken by force be dominant to decently rare in this region. Having some mega forms occuring naturally and others spawning out in the wild would be cool as hell.
@@ShadowSkyX could be that the mega stones would act like an Evo stone if they evolve while holding it
@@Amelia4111 cope
6:55 I honestly though he was gonna say "The future is now thanks to science" because he followed up through "This is gen 6"
Love that Mawile was 2nd. She's still my best and most favorite pkmn EVER.

I wish audino’s mega was just a regular evolution
6:22 I feel so proud to have understood such a deep cut of a reference.
Seeing Mega Mawile so high on this list brings me a joy that most people will never understand. Mawile deserves it

Number 48: Mega Garchomp due to speed trade off
Me: **laughs in jolly nature**
Implying sableye had nothing going for it in base pfffff.
Sableye was my answer for dragon types back in gen 5 before fairies. Being able to just come in and burn things, clean em up with foul play.
You got that prankster taunt and recover too.
I popped off so hard when Beedrill got a Mega years ago, been my favorite pokemon finally being usable in competitive at the time.
Mega beedrill is deadly lol I got swept by one
Gen 5 is my favorite and I would have loved to see golurk, hydreigon, the starters, haxorus, musharna, chandelure
Hell i would hav been fine with most things except the monkeys
Gen 5 pokes are too ugly and overdesigned to receive a Mega.
@@pedromonteiro2248 if we where basing whether something deserves a mega off appearance then mewtwo, garchomp, lucario, khangaskhan and sharpedo do not deserve them either
@@ethan_6strings186 I don’t know what you meant... none of these Pokémon listed by you are overdesigned. And, to be honest, some of them got near perfect Mega designs like Mewtwo, Lucario and Garchomp.
Gen 5 Pokémon don’t deserve Megas.
@@pedromonteiro2248 Lucario is boring, garchomp is over designed and so it his mega, and mewtwo just is bad in general and the king of over rated
Children malding at each other over pixels LUL
Mega beedrill with drill horn, poison jab and U turn, and knock off .... *chefs kiss* makes him a super sweeper
As someone who’s favorite Pokémon is Beedrill, this does warm my heart.
No matter how many times in GO, I always find myself using mega Beedrill. Fucking goated. Beautiful design and not hard to get ahold of. And it’s sheer power is crazy.
NO MORE SWEARING PLEASE! AND WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT!
Ampharos can use Thunderbolt on Volt Absorb mons. It's a really powerful change when u can use Dragon Pulse instead 😂
Mega Rayquaza: In Anything Goes, I am your god.
Zacian: Woof.
Mega Rayquaza: *[SCREAMING]*
I apologize for being super late to this, but I just wanted to share my personal opinion on mega Heracross. I agree that it might not look the best for sure, but it looks much more like the animal its name was based on (Hercules Beetle) instead of being just a plain old rhinoceros beetle. To mildly add to this, the Japanese name of Heracross is only a single letter away from the Japanese name of Hercules beetle (ヘラクレス or to put it in English, Heracress) so I just want to give out a tiny bit of justification for Mega Heracross.
Yeah, it still could use an improvement or two though.
I agree. Mega Beedrill is genuinely one of the coolest and most needed mega evolutions and I love it
Wish they kept adding more megas with each game...
You know it's a good day when mr. Mr1upz uploads
i always thought that carbink should have evolved into diancie
And that goes even further when you realize Diancie's Pokedex entries state how it's a mutated Carbink! Mutated to end up with main character syndrome in the 14th movie!
"I don't know if I'm gonna get sliced in half or get sent to the shadow realm" bro best joke I've heard all day.
