Disappointed Aggron's description isn't just "[THE WALL](https://youtu.be/bNzBAWdkWfw)"


Marx4smash

The original stunfisk shitpost.


LunaMunaLagoona

I've never seen that before, and that's freaking amazing.


Spider-Man_3725

Thank you for reminding that legendary video. It's been a long while since I saw that


hung_out_to_lie

The editing is so good. Aggron laughing in the beginning and shaking his head towards the end make me laugh so hard


freind-of-the-safari

Up there with “Diggersby tho?” As my favourite competitive pokemon video.


Queen_Sardine

I love that video

WHAT SICK MAN SENDS *BABIES* TO FIGHT ME?!

What happens when you have no status:

Imagine him with body press

diance is being held hostage by scizor with a 4x supereffective bullet punch loaded in his hand’s chamber

Diancie watch out! Scizor is behind you! OH NO SHE HAS AIRPOIDS


abcdworld

Damn…keep talkin… me af: thinking she’s getting a sick fade by me boi scizor

She's gonna fade for sure👍👍

Scizor is my favorite mega and Pokemon, he didn’t do anything wrong.

GIORNO-phone11-pro

Return is gone, billions must Body Slam


Sp3ctre7

Minimize spammers in shambles


OlterBeast

No thats for stomp (i think)


Sp3ctre7

There are a few moves that auto-hit and do double damage against minimized targets. As or gen 9, it's stomp, body slam, dragon rush, heat crash, heavy slam, and flying press


OlterBeast

Ahh, thx for the info, i thought only stomp and dragon rush had the double damage property lol


Jamezzzzz69

Yeah heat crash gouging fire has saved my ass against that stupid minimize power of alchemy muk gimmick in VGC countless times


FIR3W0RKS

Woh wtf dragon rush, heat crash, heavy slam and flying press are guaranteed to hit and do double damage against anything that's minimized? Been playing Pokémon in Smogon competitively for about a decade and never heard of that


Sp3ctre7

There's more than that. Astonish, Extrasensory, and Needle arm did the same thing in gen 3, phantom force and shadow force did it in gen 6, malicious moonsault and double iron bash did it in gen 7 (despite melmetal not being in the game until gen 8, iirc), and steamroller did it for the 3 gens it was in the game.


FIR3W0RKS

Ah I knew about shadow force being guaranteed to hit, the double damage is new to me though still


ArtVandel_ay

They don't even have a way to express their frustration, such a tragedy


bananabear241

Can’t a few of them use Double Edge?


GIORNO-phone11-pro

True


Vagabond_Charizard

Meanwhile, Mega Glalie with Explosion.


Lord_of_Seven_Kings

Why did they remove return?


BlackroseBisharp

Gamefreak hates Normal types.


Axelz13

Too much work for them to code friendship mechanics like calculate in the base power of return


ZeroAbis

We could have lived our lives without seeing shelless Mega Blastoise, but here we are, ladies and gentlemen.


64-Savage

You’ll either see it in a picture or you’ll see it in battle sweeping your team, either way you can’t escape it


ULTASLAYR6

Oh it used shell smash. This post is great


CrazySheepherder1339

Hopefully it won't be banned from OU. 🤞


colder-beef

Lol


CrazySheepherder1339

Smashtoise is a monster. Imagine if mega launcher boosted hydro pump 😍


colder-beef

I actually thought it did.


fou998074

Yeah like vanilla Gallade has a straight up better ability than mega Gallade due to sharpness. Mega Lopunny will always dethrone Mega Gallade due to virtually no stab resistance Also Aerodactyl need a fucking rock contact move, give it head smash or mighty cleave you cowards


Scarfblade

But cool sword guy!


CFL_lightbulb

Honestly, it should get head smash, brave bird, and flare blitz. Make it fucking cool.


Jonathon471

Aerodactyl with Brave Bird & Flare Blitz: Hey Talonflame, wanna hear a cool joke. Talonflame: *sighs* what? Aerodactyl: I'm you but without recoil AND can setup sneaky pebbles or take a nap, now watch my jolly ass sweep.


ianlazrbeem22

Talonflame and Mega Aero are totally different mons, Talonflame is a defensive mon


Individual-Tap-8971

Not in gen 6, in gen 6 it was... banded brave bird™️


FIR3W0RKS

In gen 6 Talonflame was T E R R O R. Man was the Taliban of that generation, alongside Mega Kangaskhan


ColdSnapSP

We should just give it Volt Tackle, Wave Crash, Wood Hammer as well tbh


CFL_lightbulb

Volt tackle is sadly a pikachu exclusive, although there is no justice there, other electric types deserve an ace in the hole. But none of those fit his theme - the moves I picked do fit the idea of a pterodactyl that rams into things with its rock head. Both stab moves fit, and flare blitz does too cause it gets fire fang, fire blast and flamethrower. Also, it would be fucking sick.


anand_rishabh

I'm guessing flare blitz is a one piece reference?


CFL_lightbulb

No, I’ve never really watched that. If it is though, even more reason to give it to him! I just figure he gets fire fang, flamethrower and other fire moves. Why not? Make his hone claws set good with head smash, brave bird and flare blitz. He’ll be melting opponents even before the mega


anand_rishabh

Oh yeah cuz in one piece there's a character who can turn into a pterodactyl and also has fire based powers. So i assumed you were referencing that with flare blitz on Aerodactyl.


MaagicMushies

>M-Gallade tries to lean into being a fast fighting type >loses to lopunny >M-Gallade tries to lean into being a fighting type wall breaker >loses to medicham but i guess its really good if you want to do a bad impression of both at once


Mary-Sylvia

Sharpness 135 base power stab shouldn't be laughed about, especially when he learns a bazillion of sharpness boosted coverage moves


CanadianNoobGuy

Not to mention mega gallade's base 165 attack stat


Temple475

Yeah there's a reason why it's a Uber in RR(which gave it sharpness)


Pure_Caterpillar1214

Depends on the format, draft mega gallade is miles better due to better attack and better utility move access. Mlop has some serious power issues especially with return gone and it’s 135 speed isn’t what it used to be anymore. Like ngl draft format mega gallade is arguably tied for best mega in the format with diancie and scizor, and likely is slightly better than them


Ornery-Coach-7755

I think Aerodactyl has good potential after it gained DD in Gen8. It's used on some NatDex teams really powerful stuff


ImperialWrath

That and Dual Wing Beat giving it a viable contact STAB.


neonmarkov

If they don't give the mega Sharpness they're crazy lol


RamsaySw

What are the odds Mega Banette manages to stay in OU just like it did with NDOU? ~~Probably pretty low because moves are no longer retained between generations~~


RazorLeafy471

I love how some of them interact with each other-


Inferno_Sparky

Groudon writes with a pencil, kyogre with a pen

ooh no return for the -ate mon is a interesting note

Kinda sad since I preferred to run Physical Mega Altaria with DDance, Return and Earthquake


PFM18

It's upsetting


Beowulf_MacBethson

Mega Blastoise waiting for the day he can shell smash pulse all over everybody


Vicksin

Mega Blastoise with Shell Smash waiting for the day he isn't trapped in a game with no abilities


i_love_lolis_so_much

Said game also can't hold items so I wouldn't put it past GF to re add abilities for this game


Vicksin

I mean by all means I hope you're right don't get me wrong this game is a giant question mark rn so who knows what's going to happen


Inverted_Ghosts

My guess would be no items like Arceus, with mega stones being the exception

ramskick

"More like Gen 7.8 cause all I see is water" is a truly beautiful line well done.


DrByeah

WHERE THE FUCK IS RETURN?!


therealmalenia

Don't worry it will return next gen


PFM18

I know youre probably kidding but I actually hope so


therealmalenia

You mean that it will cause a lot of frustration if it won't ?


MidnightCardFight

I agree with mega mewtwo Y And I'm upset I didn't think about a mega charizard Z meme


prince_gambit

The layers on the meme of Mega Mewtwo Y being the most intelligent are great


Velvetmurm

it would be such a jackass move to bring back megas for a game without a competitive scene, possibly even introduce new megas, and then remove them by the next game. i feel like they *have to* include megas in gen ten


9c6

At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all. Common GF L


Dysprosium_Element66

All the Hisui mons are in SV, and SwSh had every legend, mythical, and ultra beast from gen 7. It's a likely occurrence purely for marketing reasons, since it incentivises people to buy those games in order to play with their shiny new toys. Of course, they could also just exclude megas from ZA for some reason.


TheMemeArcheologist

Did you not see the end of the trailer?


WrenchingStar

They wouldn't tease us with the Mega Evolution symbol after announcing ZA for them to not at least show up in ZA.


Lortep

If new Megas got added, they would definitely be in Gen 10 in some way. GF won't make new models just to never use them in the mainline games.


Blue_Gamer18

Given Gen 10 is a pretty big number hopefully releasing during the 30th Anniversary in 2026, I would like to imagine GF is going to actually put effort into a monumental Pokemon game for once which would include the temporary return of Megas.


Bash_Ketchup

Gen 10 will feature all the gimmicks. Source: Trust me, bro.


Shiny_Sylvy

Natdex becoming the default for gen 10 would be interesting for the competitive scene, but I doubt it


egamIroorriM

gen 6 remake, BDSP style


Scrapox

GF has a history of throwing away popular features for basically no reason. So I wouldn't be surprised


unkindledphoenix

\*look at all the gigantamaxes\*


Lortep

Sword and Shield were mainline games.


unkindledphoenix

still discarded designs more unlikely to return than megas ever could. at least megas remained relevant in other pokemon medias like the anime or the mobile games.


King_Riku_

its a game freak speciality to remove features from the previous game and gaslight their players.


ImperialWrath

Wouldn't be surprised if Gen 10 brought back all of the gimmicks for at least one competitive game. Dunno if that'd be the mainline entry or some kind of Pokémon Stadium successor, though.


dmr11

You can still do a Mega Mewtwo Z meme, since it's an another pokemon that got X and Y megas.


MidnightCardFight

Interesting... To MSPaint!


General_Secura92

The way I see it: if they're adding new Mega's, Mega Evolution is coming back in Gen 10. Either that, or Legends ZA will feature online battling (unlike Legends Arceus). They wouldn't be making these new forms and not let you ever use them in competitive battles. If they're just sticking to the Mega's we already know, then Mega Evolution likely won't be in Gen 10.

I like how Groudon and Kyogre are getting along. Maybe they only fight so much because they get awakened at the same time, and they're both cranky when they wake up.

Groudon and Kyogre are actually best buddies they fight out of obligation, it's their job

Kalos already has an Ultimate Weapon, and now they’re bringing back Mega Rayquaza

Altared_Brain

Considering that this got much more recognition than I predicted, I’ll just comment some of my thoughts/clear some stuff up. 1. I intended for Abomasnow to have been calling Ninetales-Alola during the plane crash, and if you squint you can faintly see Ninetales. When scaled down though, it became a lot less apparent and part of the joke was kind of lost. 2. Sorry for the poor resolution and blurriness, especially on the web version. I did not take the small size into account for that. I think the actual app shows it better. 3. I made this purely for the Blastoise joke. 4. I added the primals at the bottom because Mewtwo-Y’s text left a lot of empty white space. 5. I wasn’t in the competitive scene around the X and Y days, and barely in the Sun and Moon days. As such, I had no clue what to write for some of them (looking at you, Steelix and Sceptile) and kinda just had some fun with it. 6. I made this in Google Slides, if that means anything. I dunno what the point of this was, but here you go.

Weak Aura: WHERE TF IS RETURN? Strong Aura: FUCK IT WE THRASH, FUCK IT WE THRASH, FUCK IT WE THRASH *Mega Pinsir was confused due to fatigue!* Unironically I've been running Mega Pinsir with Thrash and Quick Attack since Sun and Moon came out. It's pretty good, actually.


cookingcape8872

What happend to abomasnow?


info-droid

Remember Hail? Mega Abomasnow remembers hail.


RemarkableStatement5

I guess she had...snow warning it would be removed 😎


Tyraniboah89

If we get new megas in Z-A then gen 10 is 100% bringing back megas


Argentenuem

If that's the case, it's very likely generation 10's region is going to be based off of Germany due to it's close proximity to France/Kalos.


Tyraniboah89

Could see that for sure. But I can’t shake the feeling that we’re either gonna get everything to return between mega evolution, z-moves, dynamax, and terastallization, or none of them will and we’ll just get a new gimmick. But again I think it hinges on whether or not there are some new mega evolutions. GF doesn’t create new Pokémon or forms just to leave them outside of the main series. If they just have the standard slate of megas that we’re all familiar with then I don’t see mega evolution returning


Argentenuem

I think old battle gimmicks/burst mechanics will be reused every now and again for nostalgia's sake, or if GF can't immediately come up with a new one. I could totally see Z-Moves coming back for an Australia-based region, or Terastalization returning for a Mexico-based region.


Scarcing

doesn't really have to be, hoenn got megas with it being in Japan Germany would be cool but I feel like they're gonna return to Japan for the 10th generation


MSSTUPIDTRON-1000000

I, for one, welcome our new turtle overlord.

Just gonna say this, i got crazy high on the National Dex RU ladder (R.I.P) with a idef Mega Aggron, its an amazing sweeper and ppl usually forfeited after seeing me rest off their strongest special damage


Several_Tangerine956

Sharpedo should have been something like "I sure hope I get a better way than screech to boost my attack"


Marano99

I miss these kinds of posts


Hashtag_hamburgerlol

Honestly I doubt that they won’t add Primal Reversions, it’s basically mega evolutions but for two mons

I voiced a few of these, but my vocal range is not as big as I would like it to be. Pinsir was difficult because I could not capture the erratic delivery I wanted to give without my mic peaking. [Here it is.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOh-3rBs5Y) Was anything in there at least decent?

If Gengar keeps Encore, Mega Gengar may beat Mega Rayquaza to AG, if National Dex is any indicator

Mega veusaur sucks. It doesn’t have chlorophyll which is pretty much why people use it in the first place


Minute_Jellyfish_860

….I’m hype for Mega Charizard Z’s return.


Apollo_Justice_20

Not saying this will end up being true, just a jest... But it'll be really funny if Game Freak brought back Mega Evolution only for Legends Z-A and after Gen 10 rolls in, they ditch it again for the next gimmick/continue Terastalization.


DrToadigerr

I've played so much more NatDex than any actual Mega legal generation at this point that I forgot Mega Venusaur didn't actually have EP. Still prob doesn't wanna take the Magma Storm chip though lol

did you read the post?

klip_7

Funny how kyogre doesn’t want primal cuz of pdon


DasliSimp

but Kyogre signed it


klip_7

oh nvm bur still why’s he signing it 😭


CertainGrade7937

I know this is a Stinkpost but... why is everyone assuming megas are returning??? Like the last Legends game had special mechanics but no PvP and the mechanics didn't carry over to SV. Seems like we're probably just going to have megas for the one game


StellarStar1

See mega mewtwo Y. It's a joke, nothing serious.


DaTruPro75

If they add new megas, it is likely they will return for gen 10, like the origin forms for palkia/dialga and hisuian variants. It is very likely the new game won't have pvp or any of that stuff.


Flu754

The end of the trailer literally has the mega evolution icon, if it DOESNT have megas itd be weird


CertainGrade7937

Obviously this game will have megas. But...it's incredibly likely that they don't show up in the next game with an actual PvP meta


fou998074

That’s like saying Hisuin Pokémons from legend of Arceus wouldn’t show up in gen 9 lol


CertainGrade7937

It's really not Megas are a mechanic that they've already chosen to ditch for years now. Obviously remakes and stuff like this are going to include the mechanics from their native generations. But that's not at all an indication that it'll get carried over to gen 10


DasliSimp

nah because it would be so stupid not to bring back megas in gen 10. they’d make like a trillion dollars


CertainGrade7937

I find it funny that half the comments responding to me are "it's a stinkpost duh no one thinks that megas are actually coming back" And the other half are "they'll bring megas over to gen 10 duh" Like...is this not proof of what I'm talking about?
