Kind of same tbh, but Gamefreak hates stall so :(Bored with all these offensive mega evolutions.
At least we got Mega Audino...

We don't even know the stats for megabro or mega audino. They could make excellent walls but really megas are hard pressed to be walls unless you have a reliable recovery move. Things like AV and leftover/toxic orb are wall's bread and butter. I sure would like a wall mega but I don't see how it's very feasible in how the game meta is.Bored with all these offensive mega evolutions.

It was in response that they were saying that there was no defensive megas. I meant it in a way that those two could be defensive megas but its a little difficult for a mega to pull it off cause they can't have the normal items a traditional wall would have.Mega Audino has been stated to have it's defences increased while Mega Slowbro has been stated to have it's defence and special attack increase so
Mega Sharpedo has the ability Strong Jaw while Mega Camerupt has Sheer Force. Mega Gallade's ability has not been confirmed yet.View attachment 26054
(I can only hope that it still gets Speed Boost, that was a killer ability!)
They have instant recovery and sableye has magic bounce and can boost without being taunted or statusedIt was in response that they were saying that there was no defensive megas.

GF has let me down. Sigh. Whatever, and I also hope for a Defensive boost! That would be great.Mega Sharpedo has the ability Strong Jaw.
Oh dear. I guess I mucked up what I was trying to get across. I was saying that there are probably defensive megas coming in the remakes. The reason why that most mega are being used offensively is that A) they can't hold normal items that a wall would have B) Some people find "wasting" you mega slot on a defensive pokemon silly and prefer to use them as offensive pokemon and C) Many megas are frail pokemon anyway.They have instant recovery and sableye has magic bounce and can boost without being taunted or statused
Fairy Fighting looks the most possible, since they are making an effort to introduce more fairy types and dual types. That said... Gallade doesn't learn Play rough, unless revised or move tutor, so it would admittedly be rather troll. Though Pixilate would bypass this. Then again GF doesn't like Gallade so it might just work out.So, Mega Gallade...
Psychic/Fighting or Fairy/Fighting?
Psychic/Fighting, methinks. Psychic is arguably the core to the Ralts evolutionary tree, with Fairy only added later. Gallade's core is the Fighting-type to make it a contrast to Gardevoir, and in reference to the fact that it is modeled after a gladiator-type helmet. The possibility of Fairy/Fighting is there, but I think that would be noteworthy enough in CoroCoro to have noted (unless we haven't seen all of it yet, which is distinctly possible given we don't have Kyogre's move yet).So, Mega Gallade...

We definitely haven't seen it all since we don't even know his ability, the leek just focused on his picture and omitted the details, so we should find out by the 12th,Psychic/Fighting, methinks.

main problem is that mega evolving never changes primary typing. Plus it gets like, no fairy moves.I'm honestly expecting Fairy/Fighting myself. Other than the fact that Psychic was originally the "main" type of the Ralts family, pretty much everything else points to Fairy/Fighting. like the fact they've thrown Fairy type only every third mega. Also most people think of Psychic and Fighting as opposites. So Fairy/Psychic and Fairy/Fighting are good contrast with each other for the two different evoltionary paths. At the same time You'd kind of think regular Gallade would be Fairy Fighting already though...
At any rate, if Fairy, then Pixilate, Play Rough, and or another Fairy move new in ORAS are all possibilities. But it will certainly have a Fairy STAB. Fighting and Fairy is a crazy awesome offensive pairing (especially with the option for a solid Psychic coverage attack on Poison types) but it also has a butt ton of weakness. Still I like the idea of Pokemon that give us new type combinations.
Not to mention one heck of a Crunch with the steel nerf (although yeah, I hope it gets Thunder Fang too).If Sharpedo gets Thunder Fang it'll have physical BoltBeam and will stop Azumarill from cockblocking it.
Just throwing that out there.
This and the last thread have proven that relying entirely on precedent leads to being incorrect. Plus... I don't think we ever had a Mega whose typing is entirely different from the base stage's first form, hm? //Altariamain problem is that mega evolving never changes primary typing.
