Haven't played TOO much with it, but based on a few games with a VERY shitty team I built - I think Mega Meganium is in a perfectly fine position rn. I think because of Magearna and Mega Heatran + lower Clefable usage, most Dark-types like Krookodile and Garchomp are dropping Random poison...

This is more undeniable proof that banning Genesect was a mistake. When Genesect was around, not a single person was complaining about Bax. This is because both Band and Scarf Genesect acted as a very vital form of speed control on balance and bulky offense against threats like Bax, like...

For the Stored Power / setup varaints sets, best counter by far is Encore Specially Defensive Magearna, which can encore the enemy Magearna into a setup move & freely Pivot into a Ground-type to start threatening big damage. Roar Heatran and Volcanion are also both quite effective vs setup...

Personally I would just ban Ape or Rage Fist (depending on how we handle that whole debacle given that we banned Last Respects over Houndstone) and just wait & see for Mag a bit longer. Spikes Encore mag has been a godsent for building IMO along w/ other sets like Shuca, AV, etc. to handle...

I am updating my bid to DaddyBuzzwole & the Solgaleo agenda.

This is so horrible for the tier..... Sure Genesect may have been powerful, but it was a necessary evil, keeping so many mindless offensive threats like Baxcalibur, Greninja, Darkrai, Mega Lucario Z, Mega Garchomp Z, Mega Mewostic, and so much more in check with its Scarf / Band sets - bringing...

Not sure what this is categorized as - probably a crackpot conspiracy theory, but in the Lumiose City thene in Legends ZA (during the day), I swear i here the Drought theme from Pokemon Ruby in one part of the song..... I also think it would link up surprising well with Hau'oli cities day music...

Since both Mega Gallade and Mega Audino got their abilities modified, can we see other older megas also get the same treatement? I'd specifically like to see Mega Garchomp and Mega Steelix get new abilities, but I think some of the other underwhelming megas like Houndoom could also get something...

I am donating my remaining likes to DaddyBuzzwole to support the Solgaleo agenda ladder.

:Grapploct: This Pokemon is actually good now with the massive movepool buffs it got in ZA. Priority Mach Punch is super nice in this meta to revenge kill the various offensive guy's you'll see on ladder like Darkrai, Bax, Greninja, and Excadrill while Storm Throw is usually strong enough to...

Well, the team is a bit preliminary, but sure: https://pokepast.es/6d7ad00ba6586fdd Built this with Yenlyne

:Darkrai:-Mega: Might be jumping the gun a bit here (since I've only used it a handful of games) but this Pokemon feels like a really nice utility Pokemon. It fulfills a completely different role form base Darkrai - Rather than being a versatile, fast speed control option, it turns into a bulky...

All in.

Some initial thoughts on a few mons. :Genesect: NGL, I initially wanted this gone, but I have been finding Scarf to be a fairly healthy speed control option overall given its ability to handle Pokemon like DD Bax, Mega Lucario, and Mega Garchomp. This somewhat extends to Band and its utility w/...
