Oh cool! Porygon2 (and all the other pokemon with good defenses that can use eviolite) are ultra hard to beat, but I was under the impression that mega alakazam was worse than regular alakazam...

Porygon2 is a brick

Mega Alakazam is amazing, base 170 SpA hits anything hard, and it gets trace and an amazing movepool

so there's really not many bad things about it

Also, you should totally make a Gallada in preparation for ORAS.

Working on it right now

I think I'll go jolly because supposedly it gets huge boosts to its speed

what's your opinion?

Ah, i see.

I'd go with Jolly as well, just like I'd use timid for mega gardevoir.

why'd you think it was worse? It's basically mega gengar without shadow tag

I still need to make a mega gardevoir but I want to MM for that one

I think it might be due to the loss of Magic Guard Life Orb.

And I have a fully trained Gallade, though I'm unsure whether he has the appropriate EVs and nature.

Because IIRC life orb with magic guard is stronger, so the only thing mega alakazam would have is the speed, and gengar's typing is better.

hmm, what does MM mean?

isn't magic guard with life orb better

base 170 special attack more than makes up for it plus a huge speed boost

see above

it's still pretty similar statwise and movewise so that's how I compared it

Masuda method, if you breed one a pokemon from one country with one from a different country then the chances of getting a shiny hugely increase

oh, makes sense.

But to have hyper voice it needs to be from gen V.

unless there are move tutors on ORAS (Which I really hope happens)

You do about the same damage as LO Alakazam and you're faster. But Alakazam is already really fast and Magic Guard makes him immune to entry hazard, status effect and residual damage.

I have a Shiny Hyper Voice Gardevoir (and my Gallade is Adamant with 252 HP and Attack EVs, so I guess I'll wait to see M-Gallade's stats before breeding another one)

iirc hyper voice is gardevoir's egg move but I'm not entirely sure

so Alakazam is UU but mega Alakazam is OU

That doesn't work like that.

Unless Mega alakazam is banned from UU, but then it's not OU, otherwise regular alakazam wouldn't be allowed in UU (you can ban the stone, but you can't use a pokemon that is a tier higher because of the mega evolution one tier below)

252+ SpA Life Orb Alakazam Psyshock vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 348-411 (53.3 - 63%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ SpA Mega Alakazam Psyshock vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 325-384 (49.8 - 58.8%) -- 74.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

idk someone double check smogon's calc is confusing
