A man/woman after my own heart i was just about to say this lol. Do i think Megacham will be OU nope but he'll wreck house in UU with Sub, BulletPunch, Drainpunch, and Zenheadbutt/elemental punch..Actually yes I probably WOULD 'waste' it on Medicham :')
Sub + 3 attacks with 200 attack and 100 speed make it an absurdly threatening sweeper.
It doesn't work that way. Pure Power doubles the actual stat, not the base stat...Actually yes I probably WOULD 'waste' it on Medicham :')

like Plopper said you are mistaking how Pure Power. Even then however it is still a beauty of a pokemon though I only suspect it to go to UU..Actually yes I probably WOULD 'waste' it on Medicham :')

But who's going to seriously try to OHKO a base 150 special wall even with specs? Unless Goodra is weakened it's a poor play. And, even then, if you try to switch into Latios it becomes readily obvious Goodra is running a tank set. He can be a good bulky attacker with a respectable 100 / 110 offenses but saying "excellent" with his crippling shortcoming compared to other OU mixed attackers and dedicated walls is difficult. Gooey is a good ability, but I only see it being of any threatening use in setting up for late-game sweeps. Assault Vest looks very enticing, but you're giving up leftovers and at that point Goodra needs maintenance from his team to stay a constant thorn in your opponent's side.Someone did a Calc in the thread for the Assault Vest item in which she can actually survive a Choice Specs Draco Meteor from Latios with 252 HP and can OHKO back with it's own Draco Meteor at 252 Sp.Atk. In every way Goodra is an excellent Bulky Attacker. Can switch in pretty easily on a special attack and even without being able to recover has some great staying power.
Gooey punishes a physical attacker and sets you up to revenge kill it if you left Goodra in.
I highly doubt Goodra will get knocked into UU. You just can't use her like ANY of the other Dragon types that will, more than likely, be in the OU tier.
I don't see Goodra in OU simply because its whole package doesn't mesh. Lowering speed on Physical attacks? That'd be great if it had a high defense. Sap Sipper lost quite a bit of its edge now that Grass-types are immune to Spore and other Powdery moves, though I can see it fulfilling a niche for that role.Pokemon
Goodra will be ou its bulk is just so good
Klefki could be ou with that prankster spikes because its pretty cool and has an immunity that it can get in on
Venusaur is still the best arguably the best sun sweeper in the game, but due to the weather nerf, Venusaur's role has change from sweeper to tank or wall. Having solid defenses, only two weaknesses, three moves (Giga Drain, Leech Seed, and Synthesis) to make up for lack of recovery, very good offenses for a bulky 'mon, and immunities to a lot of status moves is very, very good. Is it going to be top-tier Mega Evolution? Probably not, but it'll probably be the best Mega Evolution for the stall teams that have been made much more viable this generation — you can check out the Venusaur thread to see what people are saying about it.I think proponents of Mega Venusaur are forgetting the fact that as it is, Venusaur already struggles with 4-moveslot syndrome. It's going to be hard to keep it alive and give it the coverage it needs to not be setup fodder. Venusaur may have fit in nicely to Gen V as a rain counter, but that position isn't as necessary anymore. It's going to be getting walled by things like Heatran and Dragonite, and the nerf to Hidden Power doesn't help that at all. I think the best set for Mega Venusaur will probably be Giga Drain, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb, and Sleep Powder. Still, Venusaur is going to have a hard time with steel types and finding opportunities to restore its HP. Perhaps it would pair up nicely with a Wish user.
Definitely.Im saying Mawile will be due to its mega. With Huge Power Boost it has highest attack stat in game. It also has some bulk. The only thing that is keeping it back is its Hp and Speed. but then again you could probably make a bulky set with low hp i mean its hp is on par with deoxys
LOL at Aegislash sword dance. It has 50 Speed!!!. Its strongest is unSTAB sacred sword. 150 attack means nothing with 90BPAegislash's ability is amazing, though. Like, one of the best abilities. Being able to take a hit while Swords-Dancing and then shifting into Glass Cannon mode turns him into instant set-up sweeper extraordinaire.
Dragons might be weaker with fairies, but I don't see any of them being very weak now. Garchomp and Latis and most of the OU dragons will surely be as strong as ever; their movepools and stats are just that good. They're just not able to 6-0 teams with one moveset to rule them all anymore. Salamence is the one that took the biggest hit IMO, between being walled by at least three fairies and having to rely on Iron Miss for them, arguably losing its niche as a fast Scarfer, and the fact that M-Charizard-X soundly outclasses it. Of course, then there's ever-unlucky Hydreigon...
On the other hand, I don't see Zygarde being big in OU when Chompy exists. Especially when it has worse speed and movepool. Maybe the bulk will give it a niche over Garchomp, but I'd hardly call it overpowered at all.
I think he might go back to Gen IV role in UU as a versatile Pokemon (SD sweeper, LO sweeper, LO tank, SubSeed). Venusaur was OP as hell in Gen IV UU, and if it doesn't make the OU cut this gen, his MegaEvo is going to be just as deadly as it was Gen IV.Venusaur is still the best arguably the best sun sweeper in the game, but due to the weather nerf, Venusaur's role has change from sweeper to tank or wall.

Did you forget entirely about Iron Head? Swords Dance Scizor is not much stronger with Bug Bite than Aegislash with Iron Head at +2 (it might be weaker? I'm lazy), and nobody thinks that's a joke.LOL at Aegislash sword dance. It has 50 Speed!!!. Its strongest is unSTAB sacred sword. 150 attack means nothing with 90BP
T-Tar faints to any fighting type attack, while also being weak to water, ground (including Quake), and grass, yet T-tat is an incredibly powerful pokemon.Aegislash is terrible.. How can anyone think he is worth OU! The most common attacking move in the game - Earthquake - does not make contact (so it isn't affected by King's Shield) and yet pretty much every user of it will OHKO him with it even in defensive stance. Not to mention Special attackers with fire attacks, dark pulse, shadow ball.. I mean come on this pokemon is horrid.
Yeah right, I'm mean being weak to 4 types is far too much, especially since it only resist/is immune to like... what was it.. oh yeah 12Aegislash is terrible.. How can anyone think he is worth OU!

I really hope you are right so I get the chance to play with Aegislash in OU with luxury. I mean lets not ignore the fact that Ghost is one of the best offensive typings now and it has access to shadow sneak.T-Tar is powerful due to setting up sandstorm and his pursuit trapping abilities and he can safely switch in on many pokes and cause problems
Aegislash is crippled by almost every pokemon though..
Utility/tank - He has a huge weakness to status
Physical attacker - Earthquake. Either that or it becomes a prediction war with set up moves.
Special attacker - They would have to be pretty bad if they can't OHKO him
The only thing he can switch in on really are choiced pokes into something he likes taking. Giving him a free turn to set up swords dance. This is great, but there are WAY more unstoppable pokemon in OU that fill this role already.
Aegislash will do great in UU/RU where pokemon don't present as much of an offensive threat to him and he can survive a few hits
