SPOILERS! Legends ZA Data Dumps - Adding Info to OP

You know Garchomp's current mega feels pretty X-shaped
I think a good way to handle the new mega would be to make it kind of y shaped. So maybe you'd like, make the fins more prominent, kind of like wings that jut out a but. And you could demphasize the legs a bit by slimming them down or bringing them in. And make the tail pretty long. but give it a little bob at the end. And since Garchomp "X" is land based, we can take this time to emphasize that it can fly around too, so it should be air borne to really make the silhouette pop. But just making it Dragon/Flying would be weird, so maybe we can give it Levitate!
Its shiny should also be green. Since Mega Dragonite's shiny is now blue for equivalent exchange and no other reason.

Tier list! Yes this is ordered. Feel free to clown on me for my takes.
 
Nah, it should get a flying type, but keep the ground type instead of dragon. It also has a pretty cool and scary appearance, so we could give it intimidate as an ability along with moves that fit its sleek new 4 legged design like u-turn and taunt. Then redistribute its stats to be 89/145/90/105/80/91... you know what, let's apply all of these changes before it megas, too, so it can hold an item.
It should also get huger power, attack stat is now tripled.
 
Unless I missed another one, it looks like between SV and ZA the only mythicals that didn't get invited to the gen 9 party are Celebi and Victini. Maybe they'll get added before the actual DLC release, but if not it'll be odd that just two mythicals didn't make it. It's almost as if GF wanted to spite a particular website... :p

More plausibly, I wonder if they'll get / get to do something more substantial in gen 10.

Also, if Victini doesn't make it in, then I guess we're not getting a HOME distribution for its shiny any time soon.

Victini could work as a POKEMON associated with Champions gamę.
 
Being a bit more serious about Golisopod, I hope its ability is an improved Emergency Exit (as in, it does its move immediately then switches out) so they can keep the joke running but not make the Mega feel like a waste

*Monkey's paw curls and now Golisopod switches out after every move*
Having every move it uses basically be U-Turn could actually be pretty good
 
Do you think DLC will break the magical trainer lv of 88? Or at least Reach it?
Currently, only Red's Pikachu and Cynthia Garchomp Reach this lv. Crazely enough, Nemona, Kieran and Cyrano stopped at lv. 87.
 
Oh I just realized, with Runerigus being in the DLC, I wonder how the evolution method would be updated. I kind of figured, since it was partially location-based, they would just have it be through a Dusk Stone. But maybe they keep the HP-loss portion somehow. Could also put SOMEWHERE in Hyperspace Lumiose that causes its traditional evolution method (the hyperspace museum, maybe), I suppose.

The cursed version is you literally can't, ala Kleavor (& company), so it becomes somehow even worse than normal because any Galarian Yamask brought into the game will be 100% stuck.
 
Eternal Flower Floette is shiny locked. Not sure if it is called "Eternal Flower" in game though.

You mean like in the sense that, say, Aegislash’s forms are titled “Shield Forme” and “Blade Forme”? Because I can go ahead and tell you that it is “Eternal Flower,” as it’s always been. (See line #1329 here)

Additionally, characters in the story do specifically call the flower the “Eternal Flower,” if that’s more what you mean.

So we won't get good quality Home Sprites for new Mages till 2026...?

Yeah, that’s pretty much how it always goes.

Probably just make it be level 34 like Cofagrigus. The levels it learns moves at already jump up after that point even in SwSh.
 
For Pete's sake, someone hack ZA and replace the abomination that is official Mega Feraligatr with something else. I have seen so many better fan designs in my time on the Internet. This hurts me almost in the soul. Now my favorite Pokemon will be the laughing stock of the Internet due to its garbage Mega design... I weep... And I'm sure some others here have had their favorite Pokemob butchered by Megas as well...

Also, change its stats around a bit... Its speed is too low still. The one chance it had to get some buffs to deal with the power creep, and it gets stats I would call lackluster.

You might call me odd for caring this much when I have all but abandoned partaking in anything modern Pokemon (besides P:LA, which was alright. I still follow along with some things, though), but I still want the official representation of my favorite Pokemon to be done justice...

your pokemon has been raised from the worst starter of johto into one of the best with the mega, you should be rejoicing and cheering. do not listen to naysayers
 
Butterfree at least has its G-max. And as for Clawitzer it at least is brand new. Slowbro and Scizors megas have existed for a decade or more now and the fact that GF isn't doing them feels like more of a slight because they're not just counterparts they're evolutionary relatives. I personally find those way more egregious.
i'm not ranking the egregiousity or anything i just wanted to highlight them because it'd be cool to get megas for them '^^ it's not a competition
it already has mega launcher as its ability, what do you want it to have like mega mega launcher
yes actually

I assume in the box it will still be called "Floette" but will be more powerful. Seems like it has a higher BST, and has Light of Ruin. Regular ones do not have Light of Ruin in the move pool. I assume this special one is shiny locked, but assume all can mega evolve.

They’ll probably just keep the damage thing like Basculin has. They seem to regret adding so many location based evolutions in the past so I think they’ll just not bother with it.

We know which ones are shiny locked yet?
The starters and eternal floette anyway, probably zygarde too


e: Anubis has said that the mewtwo/Diancie mega stones will be mystery gifts
