Mega Beedrill is the pinnacle of Mega evolution. Turns an absolute meme of a Pokémon into a Harbinger of DEATH.

[@Snowstorm174]

It’s the thing we need from more megas! Giving them to pokemon that need a boost to make them able to have a competitive niche.

[@ekul2k3]

Sadly it’s 4x weak against the most popular and arguably best move in single battles: stealth rock

[@Yusufoh8]

​@@ekul2k3 No it's only 2X weak since its bug/poison not bug/flying.

It makes me really happy to see Golispod, one of my favorite pokemon of all time, being one of the best pokemon in this game.

[@shadowxtremo]

It could've won a world championship in VGC.

[@shine-ub6eb]

Not one of, the top 1 Pokemon by far. Currently running this game and I can't tell you how many fights this thing just trivializes.

Guzma's ace on top!

Golisopod is da GOAT! By far one of the coolest bug types imo... He saved my bacon fighting against Ultra Necrozma back in USUM.

[@Moxi]

It always really BUGGED me that bug types got no respect. Thanks for showing us their true power!

[@CA-yf1lq]

Beedrill is definitely crazy but I honestly prefer the vivillion on 104 just because it makes the early game so much easier. But also could be because I suck and have not gotten a chance to actually use mega Beedrill yet lol

[@user-dp7tn7zl1b]

Some flannery trainers are also trivialized by powder lol

It’s also worth talking about Sizzlipede and Masquerain, both of which are huge for the early game, Surskit with one candy can all but carry you through brawly

Neato, I figured Beedrill's success had to do with its mega but didn't expect how it abuses the AI like that. Also poor Kleavor at the end there.

Thank you! I haven't stolen leftovers before but essentially you need to have one of Role Play, Skill Swap, or Trace to steal Hoopa's Magician Ability.

Real title how pokemon run and bun makes beedril and golasepod op rest is still dog.

[@cosmic2853]

This isn’t even true considering early game bugs are INCREDIBLY good. Yanma can evolve pre brawly, vivillon smurfs early game with its power and speed then transforms into a really good doubles supporting option with protect and an immunity, centiskorch is incredibly overstatted for wattson split, araquanid can set webs and does a surprising amount of dmg because of water bubble, masquerain goat on brawly, etc. This is honestly a testament to how well made run and buns design is tbh because most mons have some sort of use in some part of the game.
