X/Y Smogon Metagame Thoughts

Recommended Posts

My top choices for Hoenn mega evos:

Sceptile: Grass/Dragon would provide interesting coverage, and I can see it either running a physical sweeping set, a special sweeping set, or a mixed sweeping set. 4x weakness to Ice would bite, of course, as well as the gained weakness to Fairy, but there are ways to work around those, of course.

Swampert: Dunno what to say other than this beast becoming more of a slow wall with amazing attack.

Metagross: I agree with the reasons stated before in this thread. It needs help.

Flygon: Please Game Freak. Please.

Delcatty: WHO'S LAUGHING NOW

I agree with all of those.

Also, it'd be funny if Delcatty got a fairy type mega evolution

I can see Drizzle on Mega Swampert, actually.

Mega Delcatty stat spread:

HP: 70

Attack: 105 (+40)

Defense: 75 (+10)

Special Attack: 55

Special Defense: 75 (+20)

Speed: 110 (+40)

Ability? Pure Power. No more will Delcatty be a laughing stock. Let's make it as OP as possible.

Amazing

One I'd legitimately like is a mega luvdisk. No long in the shadows of alomomola!

Mega luvdisc:

HP: 43

ATK: 30

DEF: 80

SP.ATK: 75

SP.DEF: 85

SPD: 113

Ability: A new ability that is the special version of Pure/Huge power. Not that great, but good enough.

A special version of Pure/Huge Power should be a thing already.

I'm glad this thread is becoming a lot more active due to the announcement of the Hoenn remakes. So hype!

EDIT: Looked at the trailer video for OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire on YouTube to see its statistics, and it has over 27,000 likes and only a little above 260 dislikes. Game of the year.

So I saw this post on Smogon:

Because the boxart picture doesn't look like regular Kyo and Grou.

Besides, if anyone remembers the Trademark List earlier on, when most other Pokemon on the list received Mega's...

Pretty sure Swampert will get a mega evolution, too. It wouldn't be right if Sceptile and Blaziken to have them, but not Swampert.

teh mudkipz needs no help

I don't mind the protoneutronmons getting megaevos as long as they're usable eh? Nothing wrong with that.

They'd need a really powerful ability to make up for 405 BST (and I just dislike them as pokemons and think there are other pokemons more worthy of the Mega-evo honor than pika clones. But that's my opinion xp)

Yeah, I agree with that, but at the same time I'm always for the notion of making utterly useless Pokemon less utterly useless. =w=

Hopefully there will be some more interesting ones, though.

I have this sinking feeling they'll get some Parental Bond type ability.

Since they promoted the double battle mechanic, it would be interesting if they had a special mega evos that made them both evolve at the same time and gain a good double ability. (not sure how viable it would be, but it would be interesting)

It's sadly fake.

The text at the bottom doesn't even mention Omega or Alpha. It's like burning ruby or something.

I wanted to see how many people would fall for it before figuring it out lol

Dammit, Lux

Curse your intimate knowledge of the Japanese language! Dx

Then CURSE YOUR LOGICAL ABILITY TO DRAW BASIC CONCLUSIONS, LUX

Okay now enough of my derailing the thread with fake stuff.

I seriously have no idea what the deal with the Alpha Kyogre and Omega Groudon are. They're probably some kind of new mechanic, likened to BW2 Kyurem if I had to guess. *shrug* I guess we'll see.

Just imagine the Route 111 and the Mirage Tower, guys.

...Now I'm really hyped holy shit.

Anyway, now that I think about it, aside from Luxray and the starters, I think that Pokemon with a BST of 500 or less should be the prime targets for mega evolution. The less popular Pokemon, too, like Masquerain.

Also, what about a Mega Sableye? Mawile got one, after all, and they're two version exclusives of Ruby/Sapphire.

Megasquerain would be really cool.

Heck, I'm cool with just about Mega anybody. There seems to be no real pattern to which guys are getting it, either; some Pokemon that didn't need the buff *coughGarchompBlaziken* got it while others who DESPERATELY needed a boost (IE, Mawile/Charizard) got one too; some of them were popular (Charizard/Lucario/Absol), some were really obscure (Medicham/Pinsir/etc.).

Just about the only ones we can count on for sure are Lati@s and the starters, but I'm definitely curious to see which others get Megas.

Predictions for new ORAS megas:

Starters

Fairy type Breloom - Loom was always in the Fairy egg group for some reason. I'd like to see them do something with that idea.

Dusknoir to match Banette.

Sableye to match Mawile.

Camerupt and Sharpedo for the team leaders.

Metagross, Salamence and Walrein for the Elite Four aces.

Flygon and Milotic for fanservice.
