I understand why people don’t like it, but it also strongly supports my favourite style bulky set up offense. So I really love it.

[@jyotshak]

@@rileyackison4495Yeah I don’t understand the hate. It’s not at all overpowered. It just does a couple of useful things in one Pokemon package making it one of the easiest Pokemon to fit in your team. It’s just a solid supportive mon, not some crazy over powered Pokemon that many people make it seem as.

[@tomwanders6022]

@@jyotshakI don’t play competetive Pokémon, but judging of other games, where there is character in teams with a ton of flexibility and being powerful in all the different options, those characters are generally broken.

[@EinSilverRose]

Incineroar hate is dumb just because it's a flexible Pokemon. Garbage like Urshifu, Fluttermane and Calyrex deserve far more hate over how obviously powerful they are designed to be.

[@dam777felover8]

I play a lot of national dex that use all mechanics with the modern buff and it's hilarious how mega lopunny got buffed a lot: Scrappy makes it immune to intimidate Close combat in the movepool Play rough for supereffecive on fight types Triple axel for dragon types

It's not really too good in doubles though scrappy fake out is a niche.

[@bigmonke3348]

@@RocketPropelledMexican it can fake out flutter mane and calyrex ghost rider

[@dam777felover8]

@@RocketPropelledMexican i wouldn't call fake out scrappy a niche, fake out is the most usefull tool you can have in competitive. The fact mega lopunny can fake out even ghost types is insane (example: flutter sash is forced to protect if it doesn't want to get the sash broke by fake out against mega lop)

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

​@@dam777felover8 Most common set which is booster Flutter also outspeeds lop and threatens KO on turn 2, protecting vs lop isn't really too much of an issue. Lop is frail and its breaking power isn't really that high compared to other megas, so its not really worth the opportunity cost. It just doesn't have the bulk to stay on the field for long enough. There's a reason why megaLop wasn't really used in VGC historically. And even in theory formats like natdex doubles or that one VGC where they used the entire nonrestricted list it's never present. The only case I can see it having better results is if booster energy gets removed in gen 10. MLop isn't bad, hell its gotten some decent buffs with gen 8 movesets, but it also got a big nerf with Return/Frustration getting dexited. It's still definitely niche, I don't see it topping MGarde usage in nonrestricted formats. The niche still is scrappy fake out + after you doping and maybe a cal-S lead check (not counter) in restricted.

power creep in the games has gotten so bad that most megas are considered average or mediocre now... damn come on gamefreak give me back my big cannon boy and buff Swampert

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

Mega Metagross with its moveset from gen 8 onwards is crazy. Natdex DOU had a preview of this. Having heavy slam gives it a roll to OHKO every viable intimidate switchin with an average 120 BP move. Pairing with Rillaboom/Fini giving 130 BP steel roller nukes. Fantastic bulk. Even ironpress set was a valid sweeper. The most commonly used teams when it was legal was always screens.

Gengar works great on dual mega teams cause it applies a lot of pressure from team preview. If you lead against it with anything that's vulnerable to it then the entire battle could be over due to how oppressive shadow tag is.

Don’t forget my favorite move on Kanga - Seismic Toss. Since it does set damage, it’s just guaranteed 100 damage (50+50) to anyone it hits. Guaranteed 2HKO on nearly every mon and lets you focus on bulk/support 🙂 Far from the best set, but a crazy mix-up you need to be prepared for!

I would love to use mega kangaskhan when gen 10 comes out that would be cool I can imagine giving people 2os in best of 3s or winning single battle closed team sheet games with ease with it. But of course I make sure its teammates are good as well cause even the best mega evolution is not an island and needs help. That Mon embodies the idea that you don’t get between a mother and her child.

Besides mentioned combo of stats + movepool + Shadow Tag being giga busted, the speed creep of gen 8 + 9 and existence of Koraidon + Miraidon (who also got banned from Natdex Ubers because the access to Z-Moves in that format pushed these borderline mons through the edge) was kinda annoying for it, but in the end its still the ultimate wallbreaker and was deemed too powerful, it got banned at same time with Miraidon.

Would be nice if Megas returned permanently in the main series Either treat Pokemon holding mega stones as restricted Pokemon (unfortunate for Pokemon that need the boost) or reduce the 100 base stat buff (and just give increased base stats to weaker Pokemon that can mega that also need mega evolution so that they are essentially unaffected when they are mega’d)

[@Shadow-Joop-157]

The problem with mega evolutions is that there are just some better than others and you can only choose one so pokemons like mega beedrill are never going to be used. I find regional variants are much better at updating old pokemon sometimes a type and state change is all you need
