SOME KINDA OF ABILITY THAT TRANSFORMS EVERY NORMAL TYPE MOVE INTO GROUND TYPES ???? HOLY FUCK, IT WILL BE THE BEST THIN.
Oh wait, that only would make sence if MFlygon gets an stupid boost in Sp.Atk; Such thing would never happen, probably just another mistake
Yeah, as much as Mega Beedrill may be OU worthy, it's WAY too squishy.
It will die to practically anything
they flat out said "no" to balance with mega salamence

Maybe its mega will get an Arielate equivalent for Ground or Dragon?
I'm aware, but it also means it can take damage on the switch in
Oh my what a threat rofl.
Calling BS on this one. These increases seem way too outrageous to seem legitimate.
RIP Ubers
Offense is lame, so I approve of this bulky as hell mon that can't get critted. Yummy stall mons.
"Walls? Good one." - M-Salamence
Vibrava, the forgotten Dragon, just wants to be heard. Nothing else.
...Or it can come in after a slow VoltTurn / something else dies / on Earthquake.
Let's not forget that Mega Pinsir has 155 Atk while Mega Salamence has 145.
Unless you suicide something to bring it in safely, but that's getting into more in-depth battle strategy and mechanics than is not needed in here. It's possible though. MegaMence is still rather donk as heck though, and beautiful. XD
I'm extremely excited about Sableye. As my avater implies, it's a favorite of mine, and it seems like it's a Jack-of-all-trades, but finally can do something a lot cooler with CM and the few turns of Prankster to abuse. The Ghost buff is a godsend this generation.
Slowbro, though....... That thing is a BayBlade, balancing, Calm Minder of Satan himself....
Ok guys, since nobody wrote anything after 15 min (which is an eternity tbh), I've found an really cool subject to debate... Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you the MEGA SPRITES:

Ummmmmm, does that say that M-Steelix has 230 base DEF!?!?!?!
So the fact that Hoopa only got an increase of 80 BST, and still has Magician as it's ability that this is a new forme. Also it now has the strongest Dark type move, not counting moves like fling or punishment right. Dark is a great attacking move and Hyperspace whatever is a stronger aura sphere.
Personally I'm hopping this is a new forme, it could run a good mixed set with fling and King's rock. Make the opponent flinch and steal their item automatically.

Oh well, being entirely made of gold and diamonts make him the most expensive pokémon EVAR
Can't calc atm but I believe Crawdaunt hits harder thanks to Adaptability. Also I think Magician can't activate the turn you lose/consume an item.
It's nowhere near as bad when you consider the fact that it has return and HJK, which is above average as far as STAB moves go. It has plenty of speed, meaning that anything swapping in will need to take 2 hits.
Think of it like a stronger weavile with even better neutral coverage.
