Tera Shell, like with Poison Puppeteer, only works on the original owner.
I think ZA 1v1 would be sick, but nobody asked me so...
Amazing matches, in some ways Scrafty even feels like an upgrade to Annhilape.
Going from doing 3% to a solid 5%
All i'm saying is it is probably for the best to grant it something that gives it at least something unique to do, which is why i'm suggesting merciless since at the very least if it goes the way of mega chomp in ou by technicality it at least has something worthwhile that is unique enough to warrant it some usage somewhere. Reason I proposed merciless is so it at least has the opportunity to be a demon with the right team structures, as well as synergizing with hazard stack and tspikes in general. Having a strong but specific niche is better than nothing in my mind, especially since its going to be OU by technicality anyway
I see the vision, but Glimmora is just too focused on its attack to make use of really anything else. I don't think any ability could make it neither broken nor bad, so it's sort of stuck. Rocky Payload was it's best way of damage with STAB so I think we should just give it back. I could see a setup where a teammate sets up toxic spikes and pair it with Ghold to take out Rotom/Corv or a taunt Pokémon and sweep the team with that, but still really hard to do.
Glimmora could be the next top-tier threat with that kind of investment, trust me
Very great results considering Scrafty is NU in most tiers, this gives me a bit of hope for the guy. I'll try and see if I can get just as high with it with my own team.
Late reply but I super stand with you on this
All depends on the other gimmicks, really. Since Z-Moves may be allowed in champions, same with Tera, most megas won't be viable at all.
Gravity Mega Drill sounds crazy. Working on it now,
it's fun as a defensive wall. I like running knock off to own random latios or gholdengo switch ins. the free healing is nice and having 70bp prio is amazing
I don’t really agree with this at all tbh. You should be using swords dance over belly drum anyways imo. It’s fat enough to trade into most mons. Latios, mage, heatran, hoopa-u, and rotom heat can’t ohko it. It enables I what I think the most bs Mon in the tier is gholdengo(which also trades into god damn everything but different rant). Chesnaught is also like the only real grass type rn outside of Amoonguss so there’s a huge lack of actual ground resistance in the tier. Grassy terrain weakens the main ground move used in the entire franchise. Ur able to switch into non ice beam keldeo forever, check zerora, check drill, check zydog. I ran chesnaught with jolly speed nature to outspeed heatrans with sd and u still eat nearly every non choiced super effective attack and still eat some choiced stab super effective attacks like choice band adamant icicle crash from bax. Chesnaught is a very meta mega right now just on how much it can beat/check on its own and what it enables. Especially the stupid cheap ass gholdengos that have 7 different items it can run, multiple ev spreads that snipe certain mons, multiple sets, and can beat every single removal mon that’s used in the tier while still being able to trade or just straight up beat most mons that beat it. I have seen and did multiple gholdengos 1v1ing every removal mon and chesnaught enables it fuckery even more(also try out jolly chesnaught it’s cool)
Regenerator is the most fitting possible ability honestly; Mega Sceptile is constantly regenerating its rocket tail after launching after all, and it gets Shed Tail now too(granted, not usable in Singles but it is in VGC where its speed tier might give it a niche with the move+leaf storm for strong immediate damage). I'm a bit annoyed that they refuse to give Sceptile Nasty Plot, despite giving it to Greninja.
Ability: Regenerator
I like the idea of more offensive abilities for Mega Sceptile, but what if Mega Sceptile took a page out of Hydrapple and used Regenerator?
They both share the Grass/Dragon typing and Hydrapple saw a ton of success with it. Yeah, Hydrapple has multiple other advantages like bulk, nasty plot, an actual good movepool, etc.
However Sceptile can definitely take advantage of regenerator. Its typing provides a lot of resistances and since its forced out a lot with its STAB combo and Leaf Storm drops, might as well heal when you're switching out. This would give Sceptile a unique niche letting it be a fast special attacker with longevity.
Okay agreed here
This is kind of the part I don't agree wit. Naught CAN trade but when oops team has 2-3ish mons that can just eat a hit and ko it back, it's not the biggest issue.
