Are The Dream Mega Evolutions Viable? [Pokémon Emerald Elite Redux] (v1.6)

When most people think about Pokémon that really should have gotten a mega evolution, Mega flygon, mega Luxray and mega Milotic come to most peoples minds. They are some of the most popular Pokémon of the early generations and never received a mega form. In emerald elite redux we can see just how strong they are and see if they would hold up in vcg

Man, mega quagsire carried me to the end like: "trick room? Whats that? Desolate land? I have no clue, anyway *hydro pumps*"

[@MegaFidough]

Thats one I really want to look at. I know nothing about it lol

[@MitsuSV]

I know that "Mega Lapras Y" is just G-Max Lapras with Mega stats but damn I love it so much, it's a mixed wall with lot of base HP and defenses, plus SPA, access to recover and incredibly strong STAB moves like Sheer Cold and Boomburst (Liquid Voice) and incorporated leftovers as an innate

[@just_a_rebel8261]

Mega flygon is literally how Mega ttar should of been instead it got overshadowed by its base form

[@ramonpena872]

The more you post about this game the more it just seems like Theorymon Thursday: The Game

[@MegaFidough]

Its really fun to mess around with all these crazy abilities and moves. Even more coming in the 2.0 update...

[@johnpaulcross424]

More like Sunday tbh

[@sebastianpfau1174]

Something interesting about Milotic: Both its base-form and its Mega get Sea Guardian. So if it enters in rain and immediatly Mega-evolves, it gets boosted twice.

[@MegaFidough]

did not realize that! even better

[@burninggames9587]

Bug/Ground Type Mega Flygon? Never thought that would happen, but I can see it. WAY better than replacing Ground with Bug for a Pokémon who’s much more of a Ground type than a Dragon type, and making and using sandstorms and being called the ‘Desert Spirit’ was in most of its Pokédex entries.

[@scorpioncox8978]

Honestly, if mega luxray traded the fae hunter ability with strong jaw, that man would literally be turning any Mon into a full course meal for it.

[@MegaFidough]

Absolutely

[@Diggo94]

He's back again! I'm especially excited that mega evolution is gonna be brought back to Pokémon Legends Z-A, so we can get some more official mega forms. Great video as always, my friend :)

[@MegaFidough]

♥ Cant wait to see what they bring us!

[@lewisspring35]

Fairly certain Mega Milo's design takes inspiration from Pokemon Insurgence's Mega Milotic, could be wrong though. EDIT: Okay, I just checked, Elite Milo-M's stats are the EXACT SAME as Insurgence's Milo-M.

[@HawkBreland]

been loving these videos man, keep it up (as long as you enjoy doing this)

[@MegaFidough]

Yea these are fun to make and I'm really glad you guys enjoy them!

[@juandavidbermudezfuenmayor297]

I'm so thankful for discovering your channel, it has helped me to fix a lot of my mistakes in Elite Redux, which really comes in handy with the ridiculous amount of Pokémon i've got caught in the box, in your next video. Could you talk about Machamp and/or his Mega? Machamp is one of my all time favorites and i'd like to know if he's worth it or if he's hot trash

I think it'd be pretty cool if after a while of ranking all the megas you made a tier list style vid or something of that sort telling us the best megas and most dissapointin/worst are in your opinion.

[@MegaFidough]

Great idea tbh

[@PantanodeClodsire]

My mega dream is: Mega Clodsire I hope they include it in the update with gen 9 ❤

[@RosietheOni]

I think a Physical Def set would be best for Mega Milotic. 252 EVs in HP and Def, Bold Nature. Thanks to its abilities plus natural Sp. Def it is already gonna tank Sp. Atks. I suggest a moveset of: Calm Mind Recover Scald Moonblast

[@HelixMaster12]

Love this channel it inspired me to download the game, I recommend you try out Aurorus if you haven’t already. That guy has 50% and 25% resistance to super effective moves, effectively only weak to ground and fighting and slightly resisting any other super effective move (which messes with the AI). Also been using choice band Seviper which has been carrying way more than I thought it would with priority biting moves. It poisons on bite too but I haven’t found many things that live long enough for that to matter.

[@JDWalker495]

Auroras I got from the first gym was a carrying force on my team Fossil Pokemon are broken in this game, more so than legendaries

[@marcorossi2854]

Focus sash Seviper is carrying me in mono poison run. Coil up and Strong jaw is just crazy, paired with ddance.

[@rjante2236]

Absolutely agree. Slap on an Assault Vest and it takes like 34 damage from a Hydro Pump

[@rjante2236]

It's so hard to not play this game while waiting for 2.0

[@fandomsrsin7371]

If I may I would love to see you cover mega Lanturn soon, it’s one of my favorites of the new ones design wise and I think it’s game plan looks interesting

[@MegaFidough]

I keep forgetting that one exists lol I'll have to look into it

[@rjante2236]

When I fought Wattson I assumed he was gonna have a Mega Manectric. I was not prepared for Mega Lanturn.

[@crashicle]

Mega Milotic really carried me in my first run. Really tanky and hard to get rid off. I ran a stall moveset mixed with maxing Defense + HP with left EVs in Special Defense. The moveset I ran: - Surf - Toxic - Recover - Moonblast/Protect/Flip Turn Surprised to see it really tank hits that it was not supposed to. With or without rain teams, Mega Milotic is stilla beast.

[@MegaFidough]

Its bulk is disgusting

[@adachisans5664]

Hey, i know we lost the old dex, but do we have an archive of their recommended movesets? They really helped me on previous playthroughs, and the moveset chat from the Discord server just doesn't cut it a lot of the time

[@MegaFidough]

There's a movesets section in the discord. Not sure if EVERYTHING is there but its a start

[@YourBoyNobody530]

Mega Ledian because it had so much wasted potential.

[@MegaFidough]

omg that would be sick if they gave him one. He's good in this game apparently

[@christiancinnabars1402]

I get that Flygon evolves from bug-like mons, and that it itself has bug-like features, but I'm not sure how I feel about making it a full-on Bug type. Losing its resists to Fire and Rock (one of Flygon's pros is that it takes minimum damage from hazards due to its type and ability combo, granted Gravity isn't in play) and gaining a weakness to the very strong offensive type in Flying in exhange for a resistance to Fighting and... Grass (Ground is already negated by its ability, again outside of very specific Gravity scenarios) isn't worth it imo. They could have let it keep its Ground/Dragon typing, and just made Dragonfly boost its Bug type moves instead for pseudo-STAB. Curiously, regular Flygon does more damage than its mega with its Ground type moves thanks to Earthbound, which boosts the power of its Ground attacks by 25%. A Flygon with a max Attack/Sp. Atk (its Sp. Atk was buffed to base 100 in this ROM) sits at 328, while Mega Flygon's maximum possible Attack is 394. 328 plus 25% is 410, eclipsing the mega's damage output on its two strongest STABs (Earthquake and Boomburst). Of course, the difference is negligible, and Mega Flygon has better damage on all non-Ground moves, better defenses, plus the Sand Stream into Sand Rush combo. But it's still a funny thing to note.

[@TheRageBaiter]

IMO one of my favs being Nidoking deserved one. Great design, fan favorite, good move pool, but bad stats. It should've gotten more bulk and attack and some actually physical attacks boosted by sheer force. Also a defensive counterpart being mega Nidoqueen would go crazy

[@BoopaKing]

I've got to admit I'm a little disappointed that they went all-in on making it the fattest Special wall ever instead of going the Marvel Scale angle and have it play round with being under some kind of status effect, but that would probably make it more of a gimmick than it needs to be.

[@shokocontane594]

Sand Song specifically says "no damage boost" so would Boomburst still be a ground STAB and get the bonus though?

[@MegaFidough]

That's just there because a lot of the abilities in this game that change normal moves add a 10% increase

First off hi Fidough Secondly i can give my insight on these 3 Mega milotic is mitigated to rain teams but i mean not doing rain runs in mono water would be a crime Getting 2 stat boosts is insane with those stats Mega luxray is unfortunately forced to be on sticky web comps only but he is a big threat on those comps Now i mega flygon will get some changes not saying what but compare to rn it will be better You should do a zard x video once 2.0 is out tho ;)
