I think researching what game freak said during X and Y interviews would help a bit, that they were trying to give them specifically to old mons and give them new options, trying to put them on par with legends etc. It really shows where how they aren't a bad concept but where they screwed up implementing it at times.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

I hope now that VGC has become a staple since then, and now that they've leaned a lot more into the competitive aspects of the game, that any new or even returning Megas can avoid the issue of being overtuned for the niche they're intended to fill. I'm fine with the Primal Reversions and Mega Ray being strong (although Mega Ray really steps into fangame territory with not needing a held item to Mega Evolve and having an ability that removes all of its Flying-type weaknesses while also overriding the weather), but there's no reason why _Mega Kangaskhan_ should suddenly be broken beyond belief and be either banned or an overcentralizing force in standard competitive play. Mega Pseudos can also still work. Mega Garchomp was a step in the right direction, but... Sand Force. Megagross and Megamence had the exact opposite issue, being given abilities that were _too strong._ They should have gotten the memo from Mega Tyranitar and just kept their abilities as is (double intimidate from Megamence would have been kind of funny to see, although Moxie might have been the chosen Mega ability if Blaziken and Scizor are anything to go off of; as in, the strongest offensive ability would be chosen). The boost from Tough Claws is nice and Aerilate fits in perfectly with Salamence's lore, but the former should have been given to _regular_ Metagross and the latter is way too strong of an ability for a 700 bst mon, even if it can't use any other item.

[@suly5836]

Got worse in VGC* , meowscarada is still a good pokemon in singles, in fact it revived thanks to getting triple axel. Magnezone forcing a tera to escape him sounds pretty damm good, sadly he isn't able to do anything as long as steel types aren't dominating the meta.

Gen 4 to Gen 7: Never gets Rapid Spin, still outclassed by Rhydon and most importantly Rhyperior now, always bound to whichever is the lowest tier. Even gets its Explosion nerfed. Gen 8: Absent. Gen 9: Untiered. (Currently ZU but I haven't played there since January, during which it was actually pretty good)

Not sure I'd say that Eggy was powercrept exactly, except maybe by Celebi. In gen 1, psychic grass was one of the best typings and a lot of Eggy's traits fit the environment very well. Lots of changes since then hurt Eggy like drastically lowered spdef with the combined special stat being abolished, introduction of Dark and Steel types, EVs reducing bulk across the board which makes his speed much more of a problem, Explosion nerfs, Pursuit Trapping, crippling weakness to one of the best moves in the game U-turn from gen 4 onward, physical/special split allowing physical Dark moves and special Ghost moves, Knock off becoming one of the best moves in the game, etc. In modern gens, in the tiers he ends up in he's not getting outclassed by better statlines and movepools, his traits just aren't what you want anymore.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Jolteon really got screwed over by just sheer Game Freak neglect over the years. In fact, pretty much all Eeveelutions are in the ditches right now, with even the competitive leaders of the line, Espeon and Sylveon, not even breaking NU in Smogon Singles or having over a .5% usage in VGC. Which is surprising, since they've been trying to make Eevee the series's secondary mascot (although at the same time, the Pikachu line also sees very poor competitive usage and constant neglect). I'm thinking that Eevee itself should get the Kommo-o treatment, where it is given a regular version of its Z-Move. Two gens late, but better late than never. In this case, Extreme Evoboost boosting its stats by +2 becomes just Evoboost, boosting its stats by +1. Then it can keep the move when it evolves, giving all Eeveelutions access to an omni-boosting move. Would this break any of the Eeveelutions? I think Espeon could become strong in UU (or even see decent usage in OU, who knows) with Stored Power, but its low phys def regardless probably weighs it down from being really broken and it has no Speed Boost to carry it the same way as Espathra. Sylveon probably makes it out of RU thanks to the Speed raises from the move and now being able to setup in front of some physical attackers, but its movepool leaves it quite vulnerable to Steels outside of hard commiting to Tera. And the rest of the Eeveelutions probably make it to ~RU/UU level with the boosts; Flareon and Jolteon become better setup sweepers, and Umbreon and Vaporeon become a lot more annoying as walls as they're now able to boost both their Defense and Sp. Def at the same time. Leafeon and Glaceon I have a hard time seeing making it past RU even with an omni-boost at their disposal, but maybe they can make something work with Tera (but again, they'd have to hard commit to the Tera slot if they want to break past Steel mons).

[@lucasgreer1736]

I would think that evoboost would do a lot for leafeon, it actually has a really good stat spread that only lacks special bulk, it just suffers from a bit too little bst for a balanced spread like it has sylveon is one of the coolest niche vgc picks but I think it's fairly outclassed rn

[@artilire]

I had a time where i paired magnezone with tera flying and garchomp, giving it discharge, flash cannon, helping hand and electroweb with a healing berry and sturdy (in case it needed to take a fire move or tera was out) They have great offensive synergy, helping hand gives huge damage boosts and electroweb helps it get around power creep Edit: this was back when the only other pokemon with electroweb was regieleki

The other thing with mag is that in theory, forcing a tera would actually be kind of good, but it’s most common OU trapping target is kingambit, who lets be honest, is almost never a bad choice to terastalyze. If it could trap ghold it would be so much better because not only does it force a tera, it does well against good ghold teras like flying, fairy, and water

[@K8aclysm]

Exeggutor is one of my favourite pokemon. I don't know *why*, i just have an odd soft spot for it. I know that it's never going to be able to live up to it's gen 1 days, but I always hold out hope that some day it'll make a niche appearance and make me proud.

[@MongoIndyleo]

Egg boi fell of because of no more max EVs in every stat. Eggy had good but not great stats in every stat so it got a lot of value out of having every stat maxed. But when limited EVs became a thing, none of its stats were good enough to invest into and so people stopped using it.

[@armorbearer9702]

I guess there is not a lot of Pokémon that want to terra into Steel. Poor Magnezone...

[@SpritePony]

I want to make one MAJOR point about Mag real quick: Yes, Steels CAN Tera to try to get away from it, but this is a two-fold problem for the trapped mon; 1. They have to forcibly burn their Tera on a Pokemon they may not *want* to Tera in that game. This is a HUGE commitment and you need to get something amazing out of it in this scenario, otherwlse it's a bad Tera. 2. They have to remain in for at least one more turn to burn the Tera, and then switch out. This means that the trapped mon WILL have to eat some damage in order to flee. This also gives the Mag player a heads up that the opponent will be switching next turn, and allow them to adjust their play accordingly. The main reason why Mag isn't as good as it was anymore is actually because of the still widespread use of switch moves; U-Turn and the like. On top of this, the game's BEST Steel-type, Gholdengo, DOESN'T get trapped by Mag. Or anything, really. Ghost got SEVERELY overbuffed with the ability to give the middle finger to any and all forms of trapping, it's disgusting. If Dengo didn't have that, Mag could have a stronger niche in making Gholdengo's life just a little harder. It's always a feels good moment to watch a Mag successfully trap a Skarm or Corv that lacks U-Turn.

[@cyrix6165]

What if there was an ability that causes Pokémon that overpower another mon to just instantly die upon being sent out? That would be hilarious.

[@clothieredward5248]

It's absurd how many OU and UU staples have been hit so hard by power creep that they've fallen to the RU or NU tiers. Not just Pokemon like Tyranitar and Magnezone but also mons like Infernape, Gyarados, and Gengar. It's lowkey sad to be honest.
