Mega Altaria, Mega Salamence, Mega Lopunny confirmed

Yes! I've been personally rooting for Mega Altaria, which turns into Dragon/Fairy with Pixilate. It gets Hyper Voice via breeding, though I don't know if its mega is more physical or special.

Mega Salamence is still Dragon/Flying I think with Aerilate, while Lopunny is Fighting/Normal with Scrappy.

Mega Altaria supposedly gets an Attack boost. It does have Dragon Dance though, so Pixilate Return? Plus Earthquake to deal with Poison/Steel. And Flamethrower / Fire Blast for mixed sets.

Mega Lopunny gets an improved Attack and Special Attack.

While Mega Salamence gets a Defense boost. It does get Hyper Voice as a tutor move (when tutors come back) so a mixed set might work.

Perhaps in the coming months, we get Primal Rayquaza with Aerilate (E-Speed Aerilate anyone?)

UR KIDDING ME *$(@**#(#(@0&392 *runs to serebii*

*-* YES! My day couldn't have started better

what, would mega Wailord just get bigger and more buoyant?

I did used to love Wailord though.

I really like Altaria's design, and it being dragon and fairy makes perfect sense. But it loses its flying typing and that could hurt. Lopunny looks pretty good, and I hate the way Salamence looks from what I can see.

We need to take over nintendo for a few hours, make these 3 megas, and then leave like nothing happened... but have to do it in a dream inside a dream inside yet another dream for the idea to stick.

Yes.

Nintendo has completely ruined it for me.

I liked it. In that picture with that angle it seems a little bit strange at first glance. I think they wanted to showcase its wings, but when we get to see it in action, with the legs a little bit clearer, it'll definetly look good.

It's wings look like a croissant that was run over by a steamroller.

Mega lopunny getting boosts to Att+Spe also Dragon coincidentally breeding the perfect set for its mega for us makes me so excited. Also HJK would do wonders for it.

Mega Altaria is my fav of those. I feel Bulky DD will do great w/ that Att/Def boost. Can drop Dragon/Ground coverage for Fairy/Ground which can arguably be a better primary STAB in terms of coverage and that Power.

Salamence I can also see mega being Bulky DD. too bad my 6IV one has Moxie but maybe I can make it work(Maybe all out attacker getting Moxie on revenge and powering through w/ Return+Coverage). Aerialate Return for Flying Spam could give Nega pinsir a run for its money since it can make itself faster at the cost of priority but high def makes it less likely to be revenged by priority and gives it a new toy to make it worth choosing over D-nite.

201BP? Flying STAB of Return being stronger than Outrage w/o the cost of being locked in seems like it would be better over Dragon Stab when paired w/ EQ

Edit: also Dragon if you read this. I think you should remove Switcheroo from Lopunny in favor of Fake Out si ilar to how Medicham uses it on its Mega turn. I now cant see Switcheroo being used anymore w/ the thought of mega lopunny.

We were doing Limber as its ability. Thats perfect for mega so keep everything else we talked about if you get to it

Never mind my other post, hadn't seen this when i sent it in. Also are you sure about cosmic power? it doesn't look like it's gonna be spending its time baton passing.

Few th9ngs can Cosmic Pass so keep it. HJK is the only fighting move worth using since it gets Scrappy Fighting Normal has near perfect coverage. Ice Punch goes w/ Fighting Nicely for Flyiing/Dragon types and Fire Punch doesnt hit anything Ice/Fighting doesnt so nothing is really more useful as its good for non-mega sets.

Dang,I never thought about it, mega Altaria may be the first boosting sweeper to pull off the great coverage that is fairy ground.

And truthfully, I see fire punch as a good option for stuff like Scizor and Forretress coming in to either tank or get off some priority.

Also I should emphasize Altaria's immunities to Dragon AND Ground. Could do mindgames and set up on other dragons if you predict correctly. I can see this thing making OU now if it gets enough boosts in the right places.

Not even teeter dance? i figure teeter dance would be more useful in doubles (which i have started doing) and no one's gonna be using lopunny outside of a mega set WITHOUT switcheroo so it's kind of redundant if it doesn't have a way of stopping its opponent from attacking it like with a choice item or something.

That is what Encore is for. Both can allow you to set up on walls. Choice Trick is better for Klutz I put it on there in the first place so we can have fun w/ an actual physical Lopunny.

Fight hits
Steel Rock Ice

Resisted by
Psychic Flying Fairy Poison Ghost

Normal is resisted by the first 2 types Fighting hits SE and hits everything Fight hits NFE neatrallt. W/ Scrappy its Stab is unresisted by everything in the game so this is to further why we only need Ice Punch and I think we can keep CP since its rare to see anything w/ the combo it has

But then if you're going physical why bother with cosmic power? I'm still not understanding. I feel like you're trying to merge a non mega set and a mega set together. Even if it is rare, it still wouldn't be helping lopunny in any sort of way, it's just a move that will almost certainly get deleted for something else. Tell me, do you honestly intend to use cosmic power on it if you want to go physical or mega?


either way if you still want cosmic power i'm breeding two

I'm with Dragon here, I don't really see the point of cosmic power. But idk, the others aren't super useful, seeing as it's STAB is unresisted.

Also,I guess you mean that it resists ground in its base form and Dragon in its mega form blue?

Yeah I do Bunsel. Its for to mega or not to mega mind games.

Teeter Dance I believe confuses allies as well which is why I dun like. I really want CP really I dun see merit of other moves. IP & CP r 4 non mega mostly Encore is gud 4 all and Fake Out 4 mega. Its fast & gets faster so a fast cosmic pass sounds nice since only Solrock gets that combo i think but only from event add Encore and you can set up easier when they bring in something else you have more bulk to try to keep boosting.

Alright then, looks like i'm breeding two.


*Sigh* work.

Cosmic Power for move tutor!

You don't need to breed another for fire punch unless you want to. Its not a huge deal for me, just trying to contribute to the discussion.

Not doing fire punch, going teeter dance (which could be an interesting choice for doubles).

Oh, that seems even less useful. The only way to guard against that is own tempo, which seems dumb. But I'm not a doubles player, so I don't know.

Still seems more useful than cosmic power to me. It's really easy to switch out or just use it with an ally that has protect (protect is a really important move in doubles iirc, i see it everywhere). Or safe guard and then use it to confuse your opponents while maintaining an immunity to it.

If my opinion matters (but it doesn't), I'd go for Teeter Dance over Cosmic Power. Teeter Dancers are great to pair with Pranskter users in Doubles or Triples. First turn, Pranskter mon uses safeguard to protect your team from non-volatile status. Then ally uses Teeter Dance to confuse opponent's side while keeping yours immune to confusion. Then proceed to attack (or spam).

Watch out for Snatch though, I think Snatch snatches this move.

See!!!! An educated response! Yay!

Yet its super situational and Imwant to use it in singles as a BPer since it only needs 2 attacking moves.

If anything you can drop Ice Punch for Teeter Dance b/c tutors but if it doesnt come back then thats too bad as thats the only non-stab worth using imo and it only really gets Normal Fighting moves for physical use on its own.

As i said, i'll just make two. It isn't worth removing ice punch for teeter dance.

This discussion had a very good outcome. I learned about Prankster Safeguard, realized that CP BP isn't the worst thing ever, and I still have the best avatar ever.
