Watch Brick Break be it's main STAB in the ZA ranked

The issue is 151 Speed. If it can get in it should outspeed and one-shot. At the very least it will be a premier revenge killer for both. And I'd say it would be a decent check. Can't recall the defense stats for Mega Floette.

Gotta feel bad for stuff like Mega Delphox and Mega Alakazam. They looked like they could do well with their stats and now Mega Absol Z is here to eat them for breakfast.

I mean that's a fair point but it does feel like at least for Pyroar that Game Freak just does not want to throw it a single bone. It's hidden ability is directly counter to its stats and then it gets a Mega and while stuff like Meganium, Drampa and Clefable get substantial buffs it gets what...

Malamar and Pyroar are Audino level meme megas currently. They'd need some good ass abilities to really compete with the other megas both the new and the old.

I mean every G-max played the same. Megas can play very differently

Of all of those I feel Meowstic should have a different Mega based on form given they have separate playstyles

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...

Y'all forgot someone. SLOWKING AND KLEAVOR LOOKING AT GLALIE, FROSLASS, GARDEVOIR AND GALLADE WITH THE DEEPEST ENVY RN.

Starmie and Chesnaught are definitely gonna be good. Huge Power is always strong and Chesnaught just has an insane stat spread.

I think there are reasons to pick Delphox over Alakazam though. The secondary stab, better baseline defenses iirc and potential for extra power if paired with a sun setter. It will be competing with Alakazam no doubt but I do think it will have its niche

For It's viability in singles I'm not sure but I feel for VGC, Delphox will be in consideration for best mega for psyspam. I doubt it will be as ubiquitous as things like Zard Y, Kangaskhan and Mega Mence/Metagross but I can see it being a defining Mega for the archetype like Mega Swampert is...

Imagine the insanity if Tera can be used by Megas. Tera fire Zard Y and Tera water Mega Swampert sound insane

I believe it's been seen that generally you will need to fight off a rogue Mega ahead of using it yourself like the Absol in the demo. Also I believe some can be crafted with mega shards found in the overworld. As for the recharge I believe that's related to the speed stat?

Yeah that's been a thing since at least Sun and Moon imo. Some designs have been a lot more based on how they'd look in motion. Stuff like Incineroar come immediately to mind since a lot of its personality is conveyed in its movement.
