Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
No, the argument is that people are being too short sighted in seeing the potential and reasonably good amount of counter play that exist, which ultimately doesn't warrant megagross a ban. And I'm not asking people to use garbage like dusknoir or whatever other crap out there, because there are...
I don't think slowbro, hippo, etc are niche Mons. They perform the task of checking megagross while still checking other parts of the tier. That's why I'm even bringing them up, if they were for sole reason of beating megagross then I wouldn't have because that is clearly over centralizing. And...
No it is not the same, mega kang only has a 1-2 counters. Mega gross has a variety of checks along with reasonable amounts of counterplay while mega kang and the other stupid op mega Mons don't.
How about we become more open minded about the other alternatives that exist to check megagross, and while slowbro and other checks are less effective in the metagame. They certainly have their distinct attributes which may fill roles that their competitors can't. You guys make it seem as if...
Slowbro, mew, hippo, and other lower tier checks are not unviable. They can still check other Mons, their sole purpose does not consist of checking mega meta. And that sounds like people don't want to use anything but the typical cookie cutter stuff. And no, dusclops and cresselia are not the...
But mega mence has way less counterplay than Mega meta. Mega Meta has reasonable counter play, slowbro and other checks aren't as unreasonable to use as the gimmicks people used to stop mega mence. Revenge killing is hard but possible, especially seeing how mega meta is huge rocky helmet bait...
That sounds like Mega Metagross adapted well to the new metagame, the only real buff is the auto speed. However that autospeed still doesn't let him smash through slowbro and his other checks which existed in the past.
Because you clearly stated that it can abuse the terrains, it's checks are garbage right now and the auto speed buff is very good for it. Therefore making it very good in the sm metagame
I have a question, what circumstances has made Megameta overpowered this gen? At least back then I remember it staying Ou in Oras, don't know about today. Is the automatic speed tier for megas really caused it to be overpowered?
