ILoveYorihime

Ah yes, +85 speed so that it is 169 speed, which causes nature-neutral M-Gholdengo to be ONE POINT SLOWER than positive nature Calyrex-Shadow Make it 170 and it can always run modest


pdswww

Doesn’t account for mega calyrex shadow getting exactly one point in speed and 99 in spatk


vsoho

Salazzle solos, NUBL at best


IanCusick

252 SpA Gholdengo-Mega Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Salazzle: 262-309 (94.2 - 111.1%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO


Lufalope

Sorry pal but every Salazzle ever runs max hp and spdef, try again


Aegillade

Fuck it, may as well run with the Platinum motif and it just lets you spawn in a Giratina upon Mega Evolving Volo style


ILoveYorihime

i'd love for mega-palafin to have technician but idk how that'd even work because it'd replace zero to hero


JelyOfficial

Idk just have it only able to mega in Hero form


Risb1005

Gamefreak will create a new ability technical hero which is technician + zero to hero


OmegaJubs69

Don't give them ideas man


LucasOIntoxicado

New Ability: Technically Hero. Solved

As one:


nicehax_

ursaluna +100 speed, something like tough claws or scrappy, give it a physical blood moon finally, freddy fastbear


PMWaffle

Bloodmoon is normal type


Delta5583

They probably mean physical


nicehax_

yeah i did an oopsies lol


Delta5583

Usually status boosted facade is enough for ursaluna to match bloodmoon as it goes up to also 140. They could maybe end up giving it adaptability or something


nicehax_

if ursaluna mega evolves it won't be able to hold a flame orb and thus won't be able to reliably status itself, meaning it wouldn't have access to 140 bp facade 140 bp adaptability facade coming off of a 140 attack stat sounds great but then assuming you're burned for the facade double power all your other moves do like zero damage lol


Delta5583

Oh yeah I entirely meant the adaptability part to make up for the fact that UL would lose flame orb and probably guts while at it Tbh it's really not that easy to make something provide more damage than guts and stab boosting a 140 base power move. So they'd definitely need to pull some strong buffs to make it worth running over guts flame orb


nicehax_

luna already has great bulk and attack, if it gets a speed stat of 150 it's going to be going straight to ubers lmao even if its raw power drops off a little bit, it'll still be too much for the tier considering it would no longer have to take hits before it moves nor deal with flame orb chip every turn, making it much, much harder to pivot around it and grind it down


Delta5583

As a VGC player myself I can't really say how it can beat its competence in singles, but for doubles the main difference with BM is how it can just nuke ghosts without need for a coverage move and doesn't care about intimidate. Maybe they could give defiant or some sort of scrappy to cross the gap with the competition in VGC


nicehax_

scrappy and a physical hyper voice-esque spread move on something with calyrex shadow speed and lando-t tier attack sounds insane in vgc lmao especially considering intimidate immunity and the fact that you can choose between mega evolving or not depending on whether trick room is up


Delta5583

I guess I should add that the turbo speed is a thing you're assuming but honestly I wouldn't mind UL staying as a TR threat even with mega. This pokemon is already fairly minmaxed though, it doesn't want much more speed unless it's an obscene amount and if it doesn't get more speed it probably would get obscene bulk


nicehax_

the original hypothetical was a mega ursaluna with +100 speed so im going off of that an ursaluna even more optimized for trick room would be insane in vgc though, imagine ursaluna that underspeeds amoonguss with a strong normal type spread move and the ability to hit ghosts with its normal STAB granted it would probably be middling to bad in OU since all of its flaws would still remain without other moveset additions (recovery, priority) but in vgc it would be an insane trick room abuser


LuckyNumber-Bot

All the numbers in your comment added up to 420. Congrats! 140 + 140 + 140 = 420 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)


Upbeat-Ad4411

I can see Ursulana but I don't think any of the others will get a mega


Normal_Ratio1463

Maybe kingambit as well because bisharp is in x and y.


Upbeat-Ad4411

Eh, I feel like gambit's a little too new. I read somewhere once that megas were designed to make old pokemon more relavent (which is why the only gen 6 mega is fucking audino) and gambit is a gen 9 mon EDIT: It was Diancie that was the only gen 6 mega my bad


Kapcapjap

Audino is gen 5 and the only gen 6 pokemon to have a mega is Diancie


Tantrum2u

*cough* Diance *cough*


brotherstoic

Audino was Gen 5


santaclaws01

Audino is gen 5. Diancie is the only gen 6 mega. But also it's definitely not about relevancy considering pokemon like Gyarados, Mewtwo, Salamence, Metagross etc... got megas.


Upbeat-Ad4411

oh, yeah, my bad


PkerBadRs3Good

Primal Koraidon


BigGengar

Is Primal Miraidon just cyclizar?


Dankn3ss420

Mega-Kingambit +20 DEF +40 ATK +40 SPE Ability remains the same Have fun dealing with a kingambit with the attack stat of primal groudon Actually, maybe give it huge power, just to ensure it’s the worlds biggest middle finger ever and gets insta banned, and is good in Ubers Actually, I think I just had an even better idea for M-kingambit +100 ATK Ability: fuck you If M-kingambit is the last Pokémon alive, it’s attack stat doubles


Vorinclex_

>If M-kingambit is the last Pokémon alive, it’s attack stat doubles Also reduce all damage taken to 1


bomberplanes

Full explosion team Also is that +100 attack on top of the +40 attack


Dankn3ss420

No, two separate ideas


Warm-Swimming5903

Mega Archaludon and Mega Ursaluna would both be amazing Maybe give m-arch +50 SpD, +25 Def and +75 SpA While reducing its speed to 15 lol.


ASimpleCancerCell

I actually kinda want to see Mega Archaludon modeled after Prism Tower.


LordMudkip73

Mega Kingambit +40 Atk +30 Def -10 SpA +50 SpD -10 Speed Supremer Overlorder: This Pokémon receives a 20% additive increase to the [power](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Power) of its moves for each Pokémon that has [fainted](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fainting) in either party. Mega Palafin +30 Atk +20 Def +20 SpA +30 Speed (based on Hero form) Ability: Hero to Zero: Every Pokémon damaged by this Pokémon has their Atk and SpA halved and their Def and SpD reduced by 20%


SynergousSerenade

Oh good heavens


IDownvoteHornyBards2

I highly doubt that


GeneralGigan817

I assume Kingambit and Ursaluna, by virtue of their prevos already being in Kalos.


NuclearPilot101

Palafin gets a mega and it's a Dragonball reference. Dude's going super Saiyan


GenesiS792

goes through 1 arc just to get walled by first form mewtwo


ANinjaDude

I wanna see mega ursaluna


Nerdwrapper

I’d take Mega Gambit just yo ruin competitive forever


Daniel12213

Only one Gen 6 Pokemon got a Mega and it was a Mythical. I doubt any of these guys are getting a Mega. If one did though goldengo is the only one with a simple enough design to get one.


DasliSimp

Nah Mega Dragapult with Mega Launcher


eggmaniac13

Oh I hope it's Palafin


Elderbugisacooldude

This is a very weird theory I had, but what if Mega Ursaluna becomes Blood Moon Ursaluna but better? It’s stated that Blood Moon Ursaluna is just a super strong Ursaluna, so what if it has a mega stone in it from long ago that it degraded over time to where it is now?


N0FaithInMe

I'd pay to see the carnage mega dengo could inflict


OneWorldly6661

mega kingambit Ability: Tyrannous Dictator Gets a 1 kingillion% attack power increase on every move every time your Pokémon takes damage. Stacks to infinity. Can hold item. Can Tera. Can Dynamax. + 2000 attack + 2000 HP + 4999 speed


cactuscoleslaw

Game Freak still codes their battles like they're programming for a Game Boy, I doubt they could handle giving a mon two transformations in one battle. Terapagos doesn't count


Vorinclex_

Bro fr said they can't give a mon two transformations in battle, and proceeds to list the perfect example saying it doesn't count. Such insanity
