Anacybele Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Don't know anything about Gallade but I hope it gets a type change. I don't. Its Fighting type is one reason for me to use it since I generally don't like Psychic types. But Fighting AND Psychic together? That's just epic, imo. Also, anyone thinking Mega Gallade doesn't look any different from regular Gallade. I see plenty of differences. Gallade: Mega Gallade: Its body has become more white than green, the crest on its head is a little curvier and more detailed, it has a "cape," and its arm blades are bigger and have red on them. It also has some blue fire coming out of its hands. It kinda reminds me of Astral from Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, actually. Which is cool because I love Astral. ^^ Edited September 10, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Psychic/Fighting > Fairy/Fighting What's it gonna get? Play Rough? Pixilate-boosted Return? Come on now. :P Give it something good, like Adaptability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Oh, Primal Groudon's ability has been revealed and I think you guys will like it: From Facebook: Primal Groudon's ability has been revealed and if it means what I think it means then these are going to be some of the most desired Megas in Ubers. The ability is called Land of Endings and apparently creates strong sunlight. I can only imagine (and this is just speculation on my part) that this ability will be the return of permanent sun. Again, just guessing. What about you guys? If this was already posted, then my bad. xP EDIT: Oh, Primal Kyogre's was revealed as well. And here we have Alpha Sapphire's majestic legendary Primal Kyogre, introducing the new ability Sea of Beginnings (thanks to the comments for helping me with that). Like with Land of Endings I'm going to assume that this is the return of permanent rain. Again, this is all speculation.

dondon151 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dusk knows what's up. Speed Boost + Strong Jaw is perfect for Mega Sharpedo. unless you can guarantee a sweep with sharpedo, either it can't mega evolve in order to retain speed boost or it mega evolves and then gets forced out immediately.

Djing Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If Sharpedo gets at least +30 speed it might not even need Speed Boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 *looks at shiny gallade* i'm really liking how gamefreak is deciding to give megas to all the shinies i have lol. metagross, altaria, and now gallade? xD also speed boost with boosted speed stat means sharpedo can attempt to run some bulk or go mixed so it won't be completely pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Oh, Primal Groudon's ability has been revealed and I think you guys will like it: From Facebook: If this doesn't mark permanent rain/sun,they seriously need to reconsider the people coming up with abilities.Unless,of course,it does something great none of us thought of.

ZemZem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 unless you can guarantee a sweep with sharpedo, either it can't mega evolve in order to retain speed boost or it mega evolves and then gets forced out immediately. Perhaps it can take on the role of a lategame sweeper, in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 my point was that if it's supposed to be a late-game sweeper, then it's not doing anything for the rest of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Agreed. Hopefully it gets a solid point increase to speed, then. As Spaceman Craig put it, then it wouldn't have to rely on Speed Boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djing Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have this sinking feeling that Sharpedo is going to get Water Spout added to it's movepool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Additionally, every copy of next month's CoroCoro Comic will contain a unique single-use download code for a demo for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Players choose from Grovyle, Combusken and Marshtomp at the start of the demo. This demo will feature a new Mega Evolution, which the player can catch. The player can transfer Pokémon and items they obtain in the demo to their retail version via Pokémon Link. The demo can be replayed an unlimited number of times. The demo has an exclusive story, and it is mentioned that playing through the demo every day could give access to a special story. The Mossdeep Space Center appears in screenshots. We better get that fucking demo I swear to God Also Rayquaza is stated to have a connection to Mega Evolution. Glad my favorite legendary is being acknowledge, finally, but I'd like to see more about it in the game by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djing Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mega Gallade is Psychic/Fighting and gets Inner Focus. Disgusting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 All the new megas look awesome, plus I like the idea of Speed Boost/Strong Jaw Sharpedo, seems like it will wreck stuff up like a real torpedo. Gallade looks really cool and Rayquaza's new-found plot relevance is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I didn't know Mega Gallade's stats had been shown. Seriously, how can you guys judge so harshly so soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djing Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I didn't know Mega Gallade's stats had been shown. Seriously, how can you guys judge so harshly so soon? We're not judging. We're just nervous. Gallade currently seems to be inferior to Medicham. The only way for it to be worth using over it is if it got a good speed buff. There's also the not unreasonable likelihood that Gallade is just going to have Gardevoir's stats but with the attack stats switched around.

Anacybele Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well then, it might still be worth using. Let's wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 At this point it seems Mega Gallade is a worse Mega Medicham. Like I said, it definitely has a place in UU, but I don't see it being OU along with Mega Gardevoir at this point. Pretty sure it'll get a stat distribution similar to Mega Gardevoir (though I'm hoping it'll get a lot of speed somehow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djing Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 High speed could salvage it. Close Combat everything until your defenses get too low, then Destiny Bond to take out one more Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Well then, it might still be worth using. Let's wait and see. I don't care about waiting.The moment it was revealed:BOOM.I'm using a Gallade.I seriously don't give a damn about the metagame... Plus,what do you think it means when they say Rayquaza will have a link to mega evolution?Primal Rayquaza is most likley.

Pretty sure it'll get a stat distribution similar to Mega Gardevoir (though I'm hoping it'll get a lot of speed somehow). even if it doesn't get a lot of speed, it'll still have great bulk on the special side at least, so that might help it. gallade also gets leaf blade for a coverage option, though that's really niche.

Seriously, how can you guys judge so harshly so soon? because they have a basis of comparison (mega medicham) and inner focus is a terrible ability.

Anacybele Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Inner Focus isn't bad. Immunity to flinching (most of the time) is nice because of moves like Crunch and especially Force Palm. F***ing Force Palm is an automatic flinch the first time it's used and it always goes first. And sometimes I find my Pokemon flinching repeatedly because of moves that can cause it. Edited September 11, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
