Slicster 8 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 But now leaves the question; what will Maxie's, Archer's, and Steven's Mega Evolutions be? I have to say Mega Aggron for Steven, but we got 4 new Mega Evolutions, and the game is months away. Link to post Share on other sites

Global Mods Godot 132 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Global Mods Share Posted June 7, 2014 Renzo and I had that discussion If they buff Swampert stats wise not literally... which they did I can see it becoming a pretty big threat as a revenge killer or wall. It also has a pretty awesome movepool. I also read somewhere in bulbapedia that they maybe adding on to Sceptile's and Swampert's Existing Movepool. Link to post Share on other sites
Jericho 114 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 #MegaMetagross confirmed #MegaSharpedo for Archie and PULSE#MegaCamerupt for Maxie As stated on Serebii.net, there's rumor he'll have a Mega Charizard X, due to the 5th image where it displays him and in a seperate picture in picture, it shows a mega charizard X mega evolution. It'd be cool if Sceptile was able to learn Draco, but he's not a Dragon in his normal form so that may not be plausible. Link to post Share on other sites

That's only a rumor though... i mean, it doesn't make a lot of sense. A Steel type Master having a Mega Charizard X? When he could use Mega Scizor/Mega Aggron/New Mega stuff... But oh well, maybe stuff changed after all this time. Maybe he has a party like Blue now (A lot for different types) Guess we'll have to wait. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he has a party like Blue now (A lot for different types) Guess we'll have to wait. Even if Metagross is the center of his team, he has others like Armaldo Cradily and Claydol. I'm not sure, I did say it was a rumor, but I have my doubts as well. If Pokemon wanted to be boring and predictable they'd just make it Mega Metagross. Link to post Share on other sites
Gaunt 4 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Now i don't know what starter to choose, first i was going for Blaziken (like always) but that Dragon type on Sceptile hmm...yea. Link to post Share on other sites
Jericho 114 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Team Treecko, started with him first time in Ruby, will start with him again. (Although bad matchup against Magma, maybe I'll get AlphaSaphire instead though.) Link to post Share on other sites

Chevaleresse 40 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Mega Sceptile is awesome. Lightningrod is utterly pointless tho (lol 4x resistance to Electric). Mega Swampert is. . . eeh. I don't like it as of now, but that may change. Primal Groudon. Yuss. Link to post Share on other sites
Wes 2 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Mega Sceptile is awesome. Lightningrod is utterly pointless tho (lol 4x resistance to Electric). Mega Swampert is. . . eeh. I don't like it as of now, but that may change. Primal Groudon. Yuss. Lightningrod makes it a straight counter to Rotom Wash. Even if he's already x4 resist, that resistence wouldn't prevent Volt Switch from working without the Lightningrod it has. So it has a point and it's a good one in the current meta.

Jericho 114 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Giving Sceptile lighting rod makes it immune to volt switch and thunderwave Thunder Wave is the only big difference IMO. at 4x resistance, the Volt Switch wouldn't do much anyways, they'll still just switch out.

Sapphire 0 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Lightningrod makes it a straight counter to Rotom Wash. Even if he's already x4 resist, that resistence wouldn't prevent Volt Switch from working without the Lightningrod it has. So it has a point and it's a good one in the current meta. It's a check-not a counter. It needs to Mega Evolve to get the ability. I forsee U-turn mega Sceptile leads though. (pretty sure it gets U-turn) Link to post Share on other sites

(pretty sure it gets U-turn) Nope. Sceptile doesn't get U-turn. But according to Godot movepool expansion's a possibility. If it does end up with access to U-turn then yeah, this'll definitely be a thing. Otherwise I don't see much potential in a lead. Being weak to U-turn and frail is a bad quality in a lead. Overall I don't see Sceptile moving much because of this. It'll definitely make it to UU and it'll appear on OU teams that need a Rotom-W check bad enough to sacrifice their mega slot for it. Unfortunately I see a lot of Sceptile's mega points going into both attacking stats. This could make for a great mixed attacker with leaf storm, a la overheat Infernape, but most people will likely run fully physical or fully special sets. I could be wrong though. It's all speculation at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
