Don't forget fairy weakness
One Dragon mevo? FUCK THAT TAKE TWO!
Also feast your eyes on this beauty:
Dragon/Fairy:
Immune: Dragon
Resists: Fire/Water/Electric/Grass/Bug/Fight/Dark
Weak: Steel/Poison/Ice
Cotton Guard + Special Bulk + Roost = Hype
My god I must be a psychic or something. I did not expect it to have an offensive ability like Pixilate though... (I was expecting more defensive)
Mega Salamence is interesting. It finally gets to make use of Flying STAB for the first time since HP Flying in Gen 3. Flying is a great offensive type, evidenced by an entire archetype in bird-spam. Obviously, Return and Double-Edge would be the main physical options, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a rise in its Special Attack and see some use of Aerilate Hyper Voice. No real viable special bird-spam option, but this could definitely help that playstyle get even stronger.
It has potential: 700 BST could be distributed to make Mence real good. Like Mega-Mawile, it has Intimidate to mess up weak physical attackers prior to Mega Evolving, but it might not be as inherently broken because of the gargantuan power it has from both its Attack stat and access to Sucker Punch. Mence doesn't have priority, and Dragon Dance isn't going to give the titanic boost in power that SD does for Mega-Maw, so it at least seems to be balanced, on paper.
Can't wait to see how Mega-Mence's stats are distributed. This could be the toy it needs to propel itself into OU, as it can finally differentiate itself from other Dragons.

I would be more concerned about the boosted stats. I don't see that ability giving Salamence much of an edge.
I just said on irc that it probably gets a massive speed boost and a physical attack drop, just based on its design. Arms look a lot weaker now.
Pikachu Belle gets Icicle Crash. Gotta love that Physical Boltbeam coverage with Volt Tackle and Icicle Crash!

You got credentials on that? Sounds like the shizniyeeeee
So, the pluses of Mega Lopunny without going into possible stat increases:
1. STAB Jump Kick with scrappy means it can spam it with no recourse except accuracy.
2. If it is going to be more offensive, it has a wide range of moves including the elemental punches
3. At base 105 speed, it won't suffer a lot from the same problem banette has when it comes to attacking second after mega evolving.
Cons:
Gaining the Fighting typing gives it a 3 more weakness in Psychic, Fairy, and Flying
There's probably more to go in depth on but that is just my take. I simply can't WAIT to use this thing.

Mega Salamence head design looks similar with Rayquaza. Maybe it receives boost in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed
Is the move in the scans High Jump Kick? I can't tell. It might get it. I reckon Mega Lopunny was made to screw Aegislash!
Yeah, and compare his learnset to Salamences. That quick attack is not to be messed with. I'm not saying that Salamence won't benefit at all but he could have received something much better.
Got this guy from NU/RU to top tier OU
The announcement of Mega Lopunny is interesting, as it shows that Game Freak is not just going to give Gen 3 'mons Megas in ORAS. Anyone up for Mega Gallade, for instance?

Goodbye sabeleye aswell lol
At this point I'll be more surprised if a pokemon does not receive a mega.
Dumb question time!
Will the new megas bring Aegislash and the other megas back?

Aerilate makes sense flavor wise since Bagon's greatest dream was to fly.
Not really the forum to discuss but probably not unless the meta would benefit from aegis lash being able to check things. Aegislash still gets aerial ace.
