[@bluebaron6811]

Berserk Gene is the most double-edged item ever. I've played GSC OU on Showdown and while it's not common, I have come across some rogue Tyranitar, Machamp, and Heracross who used the item with a heavy amount of luck on their side; like geez I don't know if the Lord just wanted them to win some of those games, I had my a*s handed to me.

[@totalphantasm]

I think the berserk gene is neat specifically because it has a very special confusion which guaranteed lasts for 256 turns, as opposed to the standard random 1-4.

[@StarryOrchid]

Just wait till I spend 257 turns and have that nice attack buff with no drawback

[@killerabbit003]

It always astounds me that Light That Burns the Sky and Twinkle Tackle are in the same game. You can really tell where the animation budget went

[@baeruttgaming4779]

I will say that Light that Burns the Sky can only be used on Ultra Necrozma. So animating a special move for one Pokemon is easier to do with 3D rigging than a generic move that many Pokemon can get. Combine that with the fact that many Pokemon have different 3D structures from one another makes it harder to animate a move for all of them. They could have put in some work, but it's kinda hard to compare apples to oranges

[@da45r]

they are equally brilliant animations in their own right (currently remembering twinkle tackle on xerneas and nearly bursting into tears)

Twinkle tackle is just a lame concept for the move. Look at devastating drake or black hole eclipse

[@incandescence5547]

Small correction: the gems aren't a 50% boost anymore; they got nerfed to just 30%. With that in mind, they're really not that strong, and I think it would be totally okay to add them back. It's bizarre that they were left in the games, even adding the fairy gem, but for some reason they only let us get the normal gem. That's even stranger than if we couldn't get any Also, "we should explain what a mega stone is for newer Pokemon fans" dealt immense psychic damage to me. Ow

I think the Normal Gem is usable because it’s the one type that can’t do super-effective damage. Having one less possible damage multiplier on it probably makes more reasonable to keep than for other Type Gems.

[@saltlakeatrocity9771]

As someone whose played alot of gen2 romhacks which typically use Berserk Gene more frequently than gen3 uses water, I spent the entire time you were talking about Berserk Gene thinking, "why are we focusing on this item's effect on one pokemon when, if it still existed, there would be over 1000 others it might be more useful for?" until the correction lol.

[@stigmaoftherose]

He also still missed the main reasons it is the best item ever if it still existed. Recycle and tangled feet. Just having tangled feet on a strong phisical bird with a berserk gene is crazy, but using recycle turn one to have +4 attack is crazy.

[@syrendrossactelek]

Shoutout to those couple of months where Berserk Gene was allowed in Nat Dex Balanced Hackmons, and bulky mons with misty surge teleporting into Unburden Zacian Crowned to try to sweep. Gimmicky, but also worked well into Hadron Miraidon and with the right coverage or ability, the zac would be a solid breaker too.

[@f.sbikerace3921]

[@rainbowturtle]

I think there's something important you forgot to mention- there is 0 way to get Ultra Necrozma now, who functioned like a mega evolution, just using a unique Z-crystal. I'm not saying he's super competitively important (you'd prefer to just be dusk mane generally), but it's worth mentioning how he shows up in battle.

[@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions]

I feel like there's potential for an Alolan legends game off of this. Predating the concept of Z-Moves, there'd be a Perfect Necrozma where all the Z-Crystals are still a part of it's body. I'd be separate from the modern Necrozma, so no different forms. It wouldn't hit as hard, but would be a bit bulkier. I'd be able to hold an item and learn Draco Meteor.

[@THEWUNDERBARGAMING]

In fact, alola would have more than one possibility for a legends game. For example, you could do one set In ultra space that explores the ultra beasts from a new angle, or one that has a basis in the alolan, well, legends, like the tapus, solgaleo/lunala, and of course, necrozma.

[@TheFunkyFrogwastaken]

Megas would be amazing to have back... the only problem is that, as you said, they tend to give them based on popularity instead of game balance.

[@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions]

That wouldn't be a problem if the stat increase scaled down the higher the base total is, rather then a flat 100.

[@ianluk6385]

I guess we'll just ignore the fact that half of the Mega evolutions were given to underwhelming Pokemon, and a decent number to Pokemon that weren't super popular...

[@ScumSookar]

We can also just ignore that a super popular Pokémon like Garchomp got a mega that's generally regarded as worse than it's non-mega form. It's also uncannily creepy with its weird pseudo-human anatomy.

[@THEWUNDERBARGAMING]

The problem was that the popular/powerful megas made the other megas unusable in vgc, effectively you can’t match a couple of nukes and helicopters with thousands of crossbows.

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

Moxie: "I doubt Megas are coming back." Legends Z-A: Are ya sure 'bout that?

I’ve always wanted to put a berserk gene on a Missingno. There is no game where it’s possible, but it would be supper funny, and also a bit scary. Thing would OHKO like everything, including itself if it hit itself in confusion.

[@joekewl7539]

My suggestion for Beserk Gene: While held, Mewtwo is treated as having 1.5x Attack and Special Attack before boosts, but is permanently confused. Throw this in with your Neuroforce Proposal and we got the exact level of destructive ferocity the original movie made Mewtwo. A massive threat to everything, even itself. I'd live for that kind of carnage.

[@gamesdocanaldothi3477]

RE: Gems, I think we may see their return sooner than later. If we get some sort of Unova remake, we could easily see the Gems show up in those games as the gimmick. Even more interesting, Indigo Disk reportedly takes place in the Unova Region (albeit on an offshore Academy), so it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to reintroduce them.

I was about to leave a confused comment about why you were hyper-focused on the viability of Berserk Gene on Mewtwo until Brian Hands came in with the correction. Thank you Brian Hands.

[@beanburrito4405]

Berserk Gene doesn’t only work on Mewtwo. I think the real reason this item was removed was so that it couldn’t be abused on Pokemon with Own Tempo. Honestly, though, none of the physical Own Tempo Pokemon are that good anyways, especially in Gen 3, so it wouldn’t even be that broken. And besides, they could just make it not work if the Pokemon can’t be confused. This would be a cool item to have back

[@DamianRavenhold]

Personally I would love if they brought back Megas but if they incorporated them only into either remakes or non mainline titles. Gigantimax is cool in it’s own right and terra type is lame but fun for vgc but there was something so special about mega evolution. It felt like a natural evolution for the franchise and was only a problem because they focused boosting already powerful pokemon and just making megas waayyyyy too strong that it left you required to use them

[@giltral7804]

well they kinda still exist in that way, from time to time masters adds a sync pair with mega abailable

I think if gems were announced (like "Heatran floating on an air balloon", but "Volcarona is holding a grass gem") and maybe the 30% like the normal gem is they'd probably be decent, but as they were in gen 5 they were way overpowered.

[@pabloarammasmanian5391]

For non VGC players you're one of the best content creator in Competitive Pokémon... Gems have 3 problem that make it broken for single players: 1. They dont waste on protect so you can scout for them 2. You can have multiple on a team unlike zmoves/megas 3. They boost every hit on multi hit moves. So normal gen Population Bomb is basically a 450 attack after all multipliers

[@ramaroy2408]

Gem is only 30% boost now though. And the chance getting 10 hit on 90% move is hard. Gem probably can come back as it no longer 50% boost

[@AllNoneBlakCox]

Heatran as a grass type is the most annoying thing to face if you don’t have anything with a flying typing on your team

[@Iris_Descent]

The funniest part about the Berserk Gene is that it was programmed for wild Mewtwo to hold it in gen 2, but encountering Mewtwo isn't possible in those games. Not only that, but Mewtwo would consume the Berserk Gene instantly, so you wouldn't even be able to get it from it.

[@yourdemiseishere]

Bro mega evo fans just says 'just make a mega for every mon, they can do 15-50 every generation' and at the idea of a generic stat boost mega is just 'thats just dynamax' which it isnt at all but lol, assuming 'they make 100+ mons per gen' means they will just have an entire gen and soon have a mega for every fully evolved pokemon. They also dont get the strongest megas would matter more and many megas can change an identity just a bit so it isn't like you often get more of the same mon you like.

[@ShockInazuma]

A simple change to balance the Berserk Gene would be to make it so it confused the user regardless of any field effects or abilities. Kind of like a Mold Breaker/Levitate effect.

[@micahheller6212]

The correction on berserk gene was funny, the non understanding of it being a signature

[@techknight3753]

Berserk Gene would actually be pogged for Symbiosis Florges... For those who don't know, the ability Symbiosis causes the pokemon to pass their item to their partner when their partner consumes their original item. So essentially Florges could hold either a persim berry to cure the confusion; or if you are immune to the confusion/don't care, any other item. This means that by using Florges you could have a pokemon start turn one with +2 attack and any other item they want; in exchange for Florges's item slot. (And running Florges, but Florges is far from a bad pokemon.) Also an idea for gems, make them "torment"/"exhaust" the type of move that was used. What I mean is that after using a gem boosted move, you cannot use a move of that type next turn. I think it would allow them to stay at their 1.5× boost without being broken. As a single protect prediction didn't just waste the gem, but now they can't even go for the regular damage next turn. However it isn't as punishing as something like the recharge on hyper beam.

[@AutisticGastrodon]

Physical attacker meta

[@shulkthesmileyboi]

Bringing the Berserk Gene back as a Mewtwo item would be really cool, though if I had my way I may change it like so: *Berserk Gene* _An item to be held by Mewtwo or Mew. The gaseous contents of this capsule have an aggravating effect on Mew and Mewtwo, boosting their Attack and Speed stats but preventing them from using Status moves. (Disappears after use.)_ Doing it this way would make Mewtwo the Ubers equivalent of Iron Valiant, and would give Mew a much more threatening presence with its monstrous physical movepool.

[@emilygordbort7300]

Okay so crazy thought for Berserk Gene 2: +2 Attack upon switch-in, and then deals 20% of your hp in damage So you can't do fucky shit like Own Tempo to make yourself immune to the downside, and you *also* dont have to deal with RNG while using it You can still mitigate the damage with things like Recover or Drain Punch, so it's something you can play around, and it could potentially bring Unburden Acrobatics abuse within range of a good Priority Move to avoid that being a problem (while still making it a viable strategy in the right circumstances)

Maybe it's just that they actually let us keep it for 2 gens in a row and it started feeling like it was here to stay, but it hurt much more to lose megas than it ever did to lose z-crystals or it will to lose terastalization.
