Not really. We actually see that Solar Beam ignores the damage reduction in Rain in the Champions trailer with Solar Beam KOing Politoed. 252 SpA Meganium-Mega Solar Beam (60 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Politoed in Rain: 212-252 (66 - 78.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO So Mega Sol should be able to use damage...

So I did some testing of Mega Sol on Showdown, and unfortunately it loses some interactions. -It doesn't ignore Sand Boost -Fire moves aren't boosted like Sun is up -Fire moves can't be used if Primordial Sea is up This is only the Showdown implementation. Hopefully Champions makes it so Fire...

On Manectric, this would mean that you could intimidate and then your opponent switches out.

I assume this would still be a petmod, but after we get all the Mega abilities, we’ll just use them.

Seems like Mega Greninja was really Ass Greninja this entire time. I don’t know why GameFreak had a sudden hatred for Greninja.

Would the Mega Evolution change mean that you intimidate a Pokemon before they switch out? I’m pretty sure that would nerf Mega Manectric.

:sv/feraligatr-mega: Feraligatr @ Feraligite Ability: Sheer Force Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Body Slam/Facade - Waterfall/Liquidation - Aqua Jet This is probably the ideal Sword Dance set for Mega Feraligatr in the main game since...

PP nerfs aren't all that impactful tbh. Besides that one time where a player intentionally used less PP on Sucker Punch to beat Chien-Pao, VGC matches barely last a few turns so running out of PP almost never happens. This might affect singles a little bit more, but besides buffing Pressure...

Looks like the real Mega Dragonite was the one we got in Gen 8, holding Heavydutybite. But really, couldn’t GameFreak have given it No Guard or something? That’d be miles better when the Mega leans towards special attacking. Good. Snow Warning is one of the best abilities you could give Mega...

Mega Meganium is pretty strong, but NOT that strong. You can hit almost everything besides Moltres with SB, Dazzling Gleam, Weather Ball, and Earth Power, but that means you also aren’t using Synthesis to recover from hazards, status, and chip damage. It makes it easy to wear Meganium down...

You see, Mega Emboar could have just used Knock Off to hit Delphox in that scenario (and the fact that it wouldn't be using Earthquake in Doubles. Hitting your ally is pretty bad). It's more convenience than practicality. Mega Feraligatr is pretty decent hypothetically. It has good options for...

btw does anyone know if Emboar has any real use for Mold Breaker outside of "convenience"? Like yeah, being able to Earthquake a Rotom Heat instead of using Close Combat is nice. But it's not like it changes the match up that much. Like how Mold Breaker changes Excadrill's match ups. Without...

That is a bit tricky to get around since a Fire type would need to have a primary Fire typing. Luckily most Fire types are primarily Fire types. Outside of restricted Pokemon and physical attackers, you have; -Chi-Yu -Volcarona -Chandelure -Coalossal -Rotom-Heat -Salazzel -Houndoom -Scovillain...

I assume it will boost fire type moves since it says “moves behave as if harsh sunlight was active” and Fire type moves getting a 50% boost is definitely behaving like harsh sunlight being active. Also the page doesn’t currently list Hydro Steam, which definitely should be boosted by Mega Sol...

Consider Iron Moth @ Meganiumite Ability: Quark Drive Tera Type: Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Morning Sun - Solar Beam - Fiery Dance - Dazzling Gleam
