252+ Atk Pure Power Megacham Hi Jump Kick vs. 224 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 220-261 (67.27 - 79.81%) -- guaranteed 2HKOMegacham's attack stat:
lets not forget that wall breaks dont need all that much speed
Honestly, something like Noivern's gonna come in on that, shrug, and then Hurricane it to death before it can move.
Blaziken was also recently Trademarked, despite being missing from that list. Currently, every known Mega Pokemon was either previously Trademarked (Venusaur, Lucario.) or recently Trademarked (there's a dozen lists on the net about who was recently TM'd.) Mawile was Trademarked by another company. And over half of the currently existing Pokemon don't have Trademarks. Note: There's one exception, Garchomp doesn't seem to be Trademarked. (But he could be in a similar boat to Mawile.)
It doesn't have "Mega Rayquaza" it's just saying it's been Trademarked. Every starter and most Legendaries have been trademarked. But it certainly doesn't mean they WILL be Megas. Most likely they were just covering some bases by grabbing the Weather Trio while submitting for Trademarks. They likely grab the legendaries because they're kind of important.
I know. I'm currently torn between Lucario, Gengar, and Medicham.
Unless you are investing in your bulk, I doubt that Noivern is going to want to switch in. I don't know Noivern's stats, but for reference, if, say, Salamence tried to switch in.... 252+ Atk Pure Power Medicham Hi Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 233-275 (70.39 - 83.08%)
I really don't think mega evolutions were created with balance in mind.
Noivern works because he has 115 base speed and 105 base Special Attack. He greatly outspeeds Medicham, and can easily OHKO with Hurricane.
but it can't switch in, or it will be decimated by high jump kick or any of medichams other moves
Medicham can carry ice punch also so that means dead Noivern anyway if you predict well.
Even a after an attack drop from Kings Shield, Mega Medicham can still deal hefty damage to Aegislash.
Definitely not. Megaevolutions are a marketing strategy to younger male players. Fairy type is a marketing strategy to younger female players. Although fairy type is for balance too.
In its shield form? not too sure
From a game standpoint fairy might be designed towards female players, from a mythology standpoint, fairies are frightening things, including stuff like banshies, redcaps, and similar.
With a coverage move such as Fire Punch, even after an attack drop from Kings Shield Aegislash would take at least 25% damage. Then Medicham can always switch out if needed. As far as I know there aren't any known recovery moves for Aegislash, so he'll likely keep that missing chunk. If played correctly, at the very least Mega Medicham can be used to wear Aegislash down to KO range.
I think Sigilyph is a mega unown.
I could easily see an Aegislash holding Leftovers since Shield forme is so bulky and it would rely on that forme to take hits and keep it from fainting.
