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.

[@pfeilinger4463]

i know many hate it because of its centralisation, but mega kang was the pokemon that brought me back into competitive pokemon, the baby leaving the pouch was everything i ever wanted. thats why it will always be one of my most loved pokemon ever

[@Jose-st3fq]

Just another example of why mega evolution was the best gimmick game freak has introduced

[@pfeilinger4463]

@@Jose-st3fq yes my man

[@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.

[@bigmonke3348]

Charizard gaining hurricane is probably the main way its able to take advantage of rain teams and possibly use it against urshifu. Dude did get a few moveset buffs since gen 7

I was actually in awe cause of how good this video was, PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I aspire to someday meet your skill and video quality! I’m really looking forward for your next upload

[@vinny4765]

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.

[@julieinjapan_]

[@supermariomaker1734]

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.

solution to.mega rayquazas stat spread: as dragon ascent only takes up 1 of 4 move slots just put a special move in one of the other 3 slots???

[@pokezach494_]

EV’s are the main reason players won’t do this, you’d want to hone in on one stat over the other to get the most out of a spread

[@PkmnTrainerEmerald]

For sure Kanga will be a beast if megas do come back next gen for sure! Scrappy buff is crazy! Metagross would be better with all the new tools in moves it has now!

[@BaldDougClips]

It mega kangaskan it was a meta defining threat day one ☝️

[@JoeSmith-db4rq]

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!

[@LycopokySlimesy]

At 7:54 not only did i get offended at my favourite restricted being bullied by Manectric, but Teravolt actually ignores Lightning Rod and can use electric type attacks like normal, it can even damage the mon with Lightning rod itself, trust me i tested it before

[@kevincorso9757]

great list, imo! one of my favorite teams in... i think it was '15, was inspired by a mega gardevoir team you were showcasing on the channel. hopefully they bring them back someday!

[@AuraStrikeAce]

Mega Lucario will always be number 1 in my heart

[@angrypoppy]

I know that even though it won't be good competitively, I just can't wait to try Body press on Mega Aggron

[@typemasters2871]

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)

[@IEmulateGames]

[@drxavier1870]

Smogon fans will say Rayquaza because of Anything Goes VGC people will sat Khangaskhan because of CHALK

[@anna_medeia]

Smogon fans at this point will say Mega-Gengar because of Shadow Tag + Sleep + Nasty Plot (any boosting move really) being absolutely busted in singles, while Mega-Rayquaza is becoming rivaled at what it does (hi Koraidon & Miraidon).

[@georgbergsten6050]

@@anna_medeiaMega Ray is still much better than those pokemon. Calyrex-S is the only one that’s better and that’s largely because of tera

[@anna_medeia]

@@georgbergsten6050 Very uninformed take, Mega-Gengar got banned before Mega-Rayquaza in Natdex Ubers. 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.

Not only can Mega-Kangaskhan benefit from Scrappy, but also from Inner Focus. Any problems with Flutter Mane or Mega-Gengar? Use Scrappy. Don't want to bet a game on a turn 1 Fake Out speed tie? Use Inner Focus. And you're still immune to Intimidate
