Megas For All: V4! (Voting - Lickilicky, Togekiss, Dusknoir)

[canno]

Braviary Mega
Ability: Tough Claws
Typing:

Stats: 100 / 153 (+30) / 105 (+30) / 57 (0) / 105 (+30) / 90 (+10) [BST 610 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Taunt
Description (Competitive): Mega Braviary is now in an interesting position with its high attack and Tough Claws. not to mention its solid bulk and access to Taunt and Bulk Up, it can serve as a powerful wallbreaker. The speed is a bit lacking, but it can definitely make up for it with its decent bulk and raw power, which pairs well with its high power STABs and usable coverage in Superpower.

Snorlax Mega
Ability: Thick Fat
Typing:

Stats: 160 / 150 (+40) / 85 (+20) / 65 (0) / 150 (+40) / 30 (0) [BST 640 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Slack Off
Description (Competitive): Thick Fat lets it bypass its Ice weakness while allowing it to do well against most Fire-types. The main reason it has the new typing is to distinguish itself from normal Snorlax and to gain STAB Earthquake which pairs well with its high 150 attack. Now that it gets Slack Off, both Mega Snorlax and Snorlax are viable.

Vanilluxe Mega
Ability: Snow Warning
Typing:

Stats: 71 / 120 (+25) / 85 (+0) / 150 (+40) / 95 (+0) / 114 (+35) [BST 635 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Power Gem, Superpower
Description (Competitive): A strange mixed attacker, Mega Vanilluxe can harass the opponent with Blizzards thanks to Snow Warning, which also helps wear down the opponent. It has a semi-unique dual STAB in Ice and Rock, although unlike Aurorus, Mega Vanilluxe actually has some speed to back it up. It also has a meaty 150 special attack and access to Superpower with its relatively useful 120 attack. 114 Speed is also nice, as it outspeed threats like Serperior, Thundurus, and Latios. Its bulk isn't even that bad, and it has some usable resistances despite having a plethora of weaknesses. Notably, it resists Flying-type attacks, so Gale Wing attackers won't be able to revenge kill Mega Vanilluxe properly.

 

[WTCO]

Although this is a rule, I don't see why. Although no megas have had a primary type change, that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Pokemon isn't as uniform as we're often lead to believe. Mega Alakazam didn't get a full base 100 stat increase, only 90. All megas apparently have mega stones, but Mega Rayquaza doesn't. Shedninja, a pokemon with a base 1 HP, always has 1 HP. A pokemon with a base 1 should be able to reach over 100, but Shedninja's was locked to 1. And finally, although we haven't had a mega who loses it's primary typing, we have had a pokemon go through such a transformation: Swablu. Swablu is a Normal/Flying type that evolves into Dragon/Flying type. In my opinion, unless I'm missing something, you should be able to change the primary type of a pokemon though mega evolution.

Oh believe me, I agree but I'm not a council member so when or if Valmanway or one of the other council members changes it, that's the rule.

 

[Miyami~~]

Can we move Illusion down? There's actually no reason for it to be used on a Mega "Oh, this Liepard is coming out. Oh, it mega evolved, and now it's a gengar! But since I already saw it was a Liepard, I'll click Close Combat and wreck it!"

Braviary-Mega
Ability: Keen Eye / Sheer Force / Defiant -> Moxie
Type: Normal/Flying -> Normal/Flying
New Moves: Quick Attack
Stats:
HP: 100 -> 100 (+0)
Attack: 123 -> 153 (+30)
Defence: 75 -> 85 (+10)
Special Attack: 57 -> 87 (+30)
Special Defence: 75 -> 85 (+10)
Speed: 80 -> 100 (+20)
Description: Americans are patriotic. This isn't a stereotype, a lot of the americans I've met actually are extremely patriotic. It's a good quality. So how about the america Pokémon has an ability to show off its patriotism by every time it gets something done, it gets stronger? That was the basis behind this. Added Quick Attack and boosted the attack to large levels to let it pick something off, and with its solid moveset it can force switches to take KOs often.

Snorlax-Mega
Ability: Immunity / Thick Fat / Gluttony -> Heavy Metal
Type: Normal -> Normal / Steel
New Moves: Heavy Slam
Stats:
HP:
160 -> 160 (+0)
Attack: 110 -> 150 (+40)
Defence: 65 -> 105 (+40)
Special Attack: 65 -> 105 (+40)
Special Defence: 110 -> 110 (+0)
Speed: 30 -> 10 (-20)
Description: Snorlax's weight increases fourhold, going to 4064 pounds. It has ingested so much metal that its body is now made of metal, letting it be an eating machine. Competitively, all this thing is really designed to do is spam Heavy Slam, so it's optimized to do so.

Vanilluxe-Mega
Ability: Ice Body / Weak Armor -> Protean
Type: Ice -> Ice
New Moves: Thunderbolt, Psychic, and Earth Power
Stats:
HP: 71 -> 71
Attack: 95 -> 65 (-30)
Defence: 85 -> 100 (+15)
Special Attack: 110 -> 145 (+35)
Special Defence: 95 -> 110 (+15)
Speed: 79 -> 144 (+65)
Description: Ice cream comes in many, many flavours. So why not give Vanilluxe the ability to change between "flavours" by changing between types! And with that, a concept was born. Dropped Attack to let it focus on special attack and the moves giving it neutral coverage (Didn't want to give it flamethrower so it doesn't melt itself) over everything. It's also really fast and really strong with moderate defences.

Cheers!

 

[Pika Xreme]

Pika Xreme You're ten points short, friend. 129-79 is 50 not 60.

Swagodile You can't change the primary type.

Fixed.

Also, in the previous thread, it was stated that Normal or Normal/Flying types could change their primary type. Despite the precedent set by Onix...

Braviary-Mega
Ability: Keen Eye / Sheer Force / Defiant ----> Tough Claws
Typing: Normal / Flying

Stats:

HP: 100
Attack: 123 ----> 145 (+22)
Defense: 75 ----> 100 (+25)
Special Attack: 57 ----> 55 (-2)
Special Defense: 75 ----> 105 (+30)
Speed: 80 ----> 105 (+25)
Base Stat Total: 510 ----> 610
Movepool Additions: High Jump Kick, Jump Kick

[Dilasc]

Braviary-Mega
Ability: Keen Eye / Sheer Force / Defiant -> Tough Claws
Type: Normal/Flying -> Normal/Flying
New Moves: Extreme Speed
Stats:
HP: 100 -> 100 (+0)
Attack: 123 -> 165 (+42)
Defence: 75 -> 95(+20)
Special Attack: 57 -> 37 (-20)
Special Defence: 75 -> 95 (+20)
Speed: 80 -> 118 (+38)

Description: Eagles have tough claws and Murica is extreme. Can you see the basic premise here? Extreme specialization. Do lots of ESpeed damage, but there will be things that outspeed it.

Snorlax-Mega
Ability: Immunity / Thick Fat / Gluttony -> Time Lag (Trick Room version of Snow Warning, which is at a score of 4)
Type: Normal -> Normal
New Moves: Slack Off
Stats:
HP:
160 -> 160 (+0)
Attack: 110 -> 130 (+20)
Defence: 65 -> 125 (+60)
Special Attack: 65 -> 65
Special Defence: 110 -> 150 (+40)
Speed: 30 -> 10 (-20)
Description: Snorlax becomes a timelord, a wicked cheater of the American system, a leech. I think you can understand what this fat piece of shit is good for, right? Actual Trick Roomers might give it actual trouble. Without much to boost its attack, 130 without an item can be meh in today's meta.

Vanilluxe-Mega
Ability: Ice Body / Weak Armor -> Liquidate (Water Pixilate
Type: Ice -> Ice/Water
New Moves: Boom Burst, Earth Power, Moonblast
Stats:
HP: 71 -> 71
Attack: 95 -> 65 (-30)
Defence: 85 -> 100 (+15)
Special Attack: 110 -> 165 (+55)
Special Defence: 95 -> 100 (+5)
Speed: 79 -> 124 (+55)
Description: Water-Ice is the name of the game here. Being the best Ice/Water you can get from a goddamn mega, the floavor is rainbow (red white blue) ice, and the flavor is winning... I hope. It is Water/Ice type after all, can't be too superb.

 

[WTCO]

Fixed.

Also, in the previous thread, it was stated that Normal or Normal/Flying types could change their primary type. Despite the precedent set by Onix...

You are correct. I must have skimmed over the council member who said that.


Also in other news, I've made a spreadsheet of the Pokemon without a mega evolution as well as the megas that have already been done in this project. You can find it here. I included Ubers (this is Megas for All) as well as all form differences that had different stat spreads (excluding Giratina-O since it has to hold an item to be in that form) since I don't know if we're giving them separate megas or not. Message me if you guys have any questions, corrections or other comments about it. Finally, if Valmanway could put it in the first post I'd appreciate it. :)

How do you add those faded sentences here? xD

 

[Ludicrousity]

I Have an idea for the next thread, but it will need more time to make... as in the thread is there for 2-3 weeks

Name: Mega Legends of Trios
Rules: Make Megas, but if you choose 1 set, you must make all 3 in that set. eg: if i choose Kanto, i have to make a mega for all 3 in that group)
Groups are below.

• Kanto (Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres)
• Johto (Entei, Raikou and Suicuine)
• Hoenn (Regirock, Regice and Registeel)
• Sinnoh (Azelf, Uxie and Mespirit)
• Unova 1 (Tornadus, Thundrus and Landorus)
• Unova 2 (Tornadus-T, Thundrus-T and Landorus-T)

Thats all for now. might be confusiing, but i wanted to mix things up. :P

 

[Nalei]

Snorlax - Mega
Ability: Immunity/Thick Fat/Gluttony -> Comatose (Komala's Ability) (New Ability in Sun & Moon) (Plz Be Allowed ;3;)

Special Defence: 110 -> 110 (+0) (0 left)
Speed: 30 -> 1 (-29) (0 left)
BST: 540 -> 640 (+100)

New Move: Slack Off

• Highest Base Attack in the game (Exedes Mega Mewtwo by 5 points).
• Burn, Paralysis, Toxic and Freeze can't affect it.
• Pitiful Speed. You literally cant get any slower

It hurts to look. That thing would be AG... Who cares if your speed is 1 if you're bulkier than Arceus and have the highest attack in the game in tandem with sustain. Not to mention it can't be crippled by non-sleep status...

Click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen. Then click Signature and edit it to your liking.

Literally the only thing "balanced" about it is the 1 base Speed. Even then, you can just run a 0- one on a Trick Room team and completely negate the one thing making it "balanced"

 

[Ludicrousity]

I just nerfed it's attack loads. hopefully it's more balanced now :)

And to address a few things.

Although this is a rule, I don't see why. Although no megas have had a primary type change, that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Pokemon isn't as uniform as we're often lead to believe. Mega Alakazam didn't get a full base 100 stat increase, only 90. All megas apparently have mega stones, but Mega Rayquaza doesn't. Shedninja, a pokemon with a base 1 HP, always has 1 HP.

Swablu is a Normal/Flying type that evolves into Dragon/Flying type. In my opinion, unless I'm missing something, you should be able to change the primary type of a pokemon though mega evolution.

Yeah, I can make it so primary types can be changed. That was a weird rule anyways. I'll update the OP soon.

Also in other news, I've made a spreadsheet of the Pokemon without a mega evolution as well as the megas that have already been done in this project. You can find it here. I included Ubers (this is Megas for All) as well as all form differences that had different stat spreads (excluding Giratina-O since it has to hold an item to be in that form) since I don't know if we're giving them separate megas or not. Message me if you guys have any questions, corrections or other comments about it. Finally, if Valmanway could put it in the first post I'd appreciate it. :)

Thank you, good sir. I'll add that right away. :)

The winners this time around are MaceMaster's Braviary and Six Trails' Vanilluxe and Snorlax, so congrats to them! The next slate will be posted sometime tomorrow, so you may freely discuss in the meantime.

 

[Nalei]

Valmanway, I have a bit of a concern with "corruption" in the way we function, particularly in voting. Everyone wants their idea to win, right? Since we can't vote for our own idea, some people have stopped voting, which gives them better odds of winning. Let's take last slate for example. 13 people submitted ideas, but only 3 voted. Let's take a look at Miyami~~. She made a mega, liked the voting posts (showing that she was there during the voting period), but didn't vote herself (nothing against you, Miyami~~. I've been guilty of doing this before too). There was also a slate in which I was the only one to vote. I think this needs to change, as the few people who do vote are being punished for it (being less likely to win). I have a couple solutions although I'm not sure you'll like either of them.

My first idea is to extend the voting period and allow people to vote for their own ideas. While people might still be greedy and vote for their own first (please don't do this unless you really think you deserve it), people will start voting which means that we'll get a larger sense of what ideas people liked. It will also no longer negatively effect your odds of winning, although there is some problems with it. Because of the potential for corruption, I like my next idea more.

My next idea has no potential for corruption as far as I can see, but poses another problem. What if we extended the voting period, but more importantly disqualified people who didn't vote. Just to the contrary of how it works now: if you don't vote, you can't win. Unlike my first idea, there's no corruption with people unjustly promoting their own by putting it first, but as I said, there is another problem: if people are unable to vote during the voting period for whatever reason, they'll have no chance of winning. Although extending the voting period will help, it will still happen. I have a solution to this too. If we do go along with this idea, it could be helpful to establish when the voting period will be as soon as the slate is announced so people will have time to plan ahead. If people won't be able to vote during the period, they could vote in advance.

Thanks for listening to my rant. On to more fun stuff... Today (7/14/16), according to national day calendar it's National Hot Dog Day, National Tape Measure Day, National Nude Day and National Grand Marnier (a type of liqueur) Day, and I kid you not! Arcanine is an actual "hot dog". We could represent Nudity Day with a humanoid pokemon that doesn't wear clothes - Conkeldurr. And finally, I think that we could represent Grand Marnier day with a pokemon we all agree is a drunk - Spinda. What do you guys think about it?

 

[Valmanway]

Fun In The Sun

Limitations:​

Kingler's ability limitation is 4 and gets two moves.

Pelipper's ability limitation is 4.5 and gets three new moves.

Starmie's ability limit is 3.5 and gets one new move. Just be sure not to give Mega Starmie anything too big, as this will effect normal Starmie as well, who's already a solid Pokemon.

Voting will last for 5 days, so get your ideas in while you can.

I agree voting has gotten slower over time, and I do like the ideas you proposed. We'll look over this and likely apply what we've decided on by this slate's voting period. Thanks for voicing your opinion!

 

[Reiga]

Name: Mega Kingler
Typing: Water/Steel
Ability: Metaliate (Steel-type Pixilate clone)
Stats:
HP: 55
Atk: 160
Def: 135
SpA: 50
SpD: 100
Spe: 65
New Moves:
-Aqua Jet
-Stone Edge
Justification: Now covered in a thick, metallic shell, Kingler is ready to whoop some butt with its high attack and solid defenses, especially after a major buff to its Special Defense. While it loses a bit of speed, Mega Kingler still comes prepared with Aqua Jet, and with Agility its speed can quickly be patched up, with potential for a double-dance set with Agility and Swords Dance or even Hone Claws, which increases Crabhammer and Stone Edge's faulty accuracy. To top it all off, Metaliate gives Mega Kingler powerful STAB options like Return, Double-Edge for extra "oomf", or even Body Slam to potentially paralyze foes and in the process outspeed them. Indeed a very powerful threat, even if a bit slow.

Name: Mega Pelliper
Typing: Water/Flying
Ability: Gale Wings
Stats:
HP: 60
Atk: 50
Def: 130
SpA: 115
SpD: 110
Spe: 65
New Moves:
-Mirror Move
-Feather Dance
Justification: While I could've given this guy Drizzle for Hurricane and Scald and call it a day, this is the "Fun in the Sun" slate, so no storm clouds are coming from this bird! With more defensively oriented boosts, Mega Pelliper is honestly rather subpar, especially since even with high defenses it still has low HP, however, with Gale Wings and a more defensive stat spread, we've got a mighty interesting creature, with access to have priority on moves like Roost, Tailwind and even an amazing priority Defog. New movepool additions include Mirror Move, which can be used to copy a foe's stat boosting move or straight up hit them with a special move they used that they just happen to be weak against, while Feather Dance can be used as a last ditch effort against physical attackers similarly to Memento, though since you won't die after using it, you can also use it to annoy foes out. Offensively, M-Pell doesn't have that much Special Attack, but with Scald and priority Air Slash or even Hurricane, it sure can defend itself.

Name: Mega Starmie
Typing: Water/Psychic
Ability: Compound Eyes
Stats:
HP: 60
Atk: 85
Def: 105
SpA: 130
SpD: 105
Spe: 135
Justification: Upon Mega Evolution, Starmie continues having its shining gem eye, but around it, various multicolored and blinking smaller eye gems are huddled around the bigger eye, giving Mega Starmie Compound Eyes. Mega Starmie is a power to be reckon with, with high speed and special attack alongside both good defense and special defense, and with its new ability, Starmie's usable movepool becomes quite more open, with its dastardly Hydro Pump now having over 100% accuracy, while the stronger versions of coverage moves Starmie loves to use, like Thunder and Blizzard, also get a significant accuracy boost. With the power of mega evolution, Starmie has the potential to overpower many foes while still being able to spin away rocks, just watch for 4MSS, since this version of Starmie still suffers from it!

 

[WTCO]

Kingler

Water → Water/Steel


HP: 55 → 55 (0)

Atk: 130 → 170 (+40)

Def: 110 → 130 (+20)

SpA: 50 → 60 (+10)

SpD: 50 → 60 (+10)

Spe: 75 → 95 (+20)


Hyper Cutter/Shell Armor/Sheer Force → Tough Claws


New Moves: Bullet Punch, Iron Head

• It's a crab with a super hard shell. Just pretend it turns to Steel when it mega evolves.
  
  
• Massive 170 attack means Kingler hits very hard. 130 defense is good but let down by Kingler's poor HP stat.
  
  
• Terrible special bulk means Kingler takes significant damage from even neutral hits.
  
  
• Speed is often underwhelming without a boost. Plenty of fast, hard hitting Pokemon in OU.
  
  
• Tough Claws makes sense since Kingler, you know, has a giant claw.
  
  
• Iron Head and Bullet Punch are STAB, the later gets priority and both are boosted by Tough Claws, as is Kingler's Water STAB Crabhammer.
  
  
• Water/Steel is not a great offensive typing and Kingler's poor coverage means that certain Pokemon give it a hard time, even with its monstrous attack.

Starmie

Water/Psychic → Water/Fairy


HP: 60 → 60 (0)

Atk: 75 → 85 (+10)

Def: 85 → 95 (+10)

SpA: 100 → 135 (+35)

SpD: 85 → 95 (+10)

Spe: 115 → 150 (+35)


Illuminate/Natural Cure/Analytic → Natural Cure

• Water/Fairy is a significantly better type than Water/Psychic.
  
  
• Natural Cure is a solid ability as it lets Starmie absorb status for its team as well as prevent it from being crippled by Poison, paralysis, etc.
  
  
• 150 base speed allows Starmie to outspeed almost everything in OU.
  
  
• Bulk is rather middling, and its power often is as well. It's unable to beat Chansey and some other bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn.

Pelipper

Water/Flying → Water/Flying


HP: 60 → 60 (0)

Atk: 50 → 60 (+10)

Def: 100 → 130 (+30)

SpA: 85 → 115 (+30)

SpD: 70 → 95 (+25)

Spe: 65 → 70 (+5)


Keen Eye/Rain Dish → Storm Drain

• Good physical bulk and decent special bulk pair well with Pelipper's solid defensive typing and access to reliable recovery.
  
  
• Storm Drain not only gives Pelipper a second immunity while also strengthening its damage output.
  
  
• Faces competition from other bulky water types. Not helped by a Stealth Rock weakness.

 

[Six Trails]

Kingler-Mega
Ability: Tough Claws
Typing:

Stats: 55 / 160 (+30) / 120 (+5) / 60 (+10) / 80 (+30) / 100 (+25) [BST 575 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw
Description (Competitive): Mega Kingler is pretty similar to Mega Charizard X. It could potentially pull off a decent defensive set thanks to its good defensive typing and offensive presence even without investment thanks to its high Attack stat and Tough Claws, though it'd likely be better off using an offensive DD set.

Starmie-Mega
Ability: Tinted Lens
Typing:

Stats: 60 / 80 (+5) / 120 (+35) / 120 (+20) / 120 (+35) / 120 (+5) [BST 620 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Stored Power
Description (Competitive): I gave Starmie Stored Power thinking that it had Calm Mind, but was disappointed when I checked and found out that it only had Cosmic Power. Regardless, even if CP/SP doesn't work on Pokémon like Clefable, I think Starmie could pull it off due to Cosmic Power having STAB and Mega Starmie also having Tinted Lens meaning only Dark-types should be able to wall it reliably.

Pelipper-Mega
Ability: Serene Grace
Typing:

Stats: 60 / 60 (+10) / 120 (+20) / 90 (+5) / 125 (+50) / 80 (+15) [BST 530 (+100)]
Movepool Additions: Healing Wish
Description (Competitive): Mega Pelipper is a great defensive Pokémon because of its high defensive stats and its ability to spread burns with Scald (which has a 60% chance to burn now because of Serene Grace). Mega Pelipper also has some other STAB moves that it can abuse with Serene Grace like Water Pulse and Air Slash. I gave it Healing Wish because I couldn't think of any other moves to give it and it at least gives it some extra utility.

Kingler-Mega
Type:

Stats-
HP: 55
Atk: 130 -> 170 (+40)
Def: 115 -> 120 (+5)
SpAtk: 50
SpDef: 50 -> 75 (+25)
Spe: 75 -> 105 (+30)
Ability: Tough Claws (REALLY Popular with this one)
Move Additions: Aqua Jet and Drill Run
Description: Kingler, with these stat changes, can be a threatening sweeper with a huge boost to its Attack and Speed and a nice ability in Tough Claws which boosts moves like Waterfall, X-Scissor, and Frustration. I gave it Aqua Jet for priority and Drill Run for physical coverage against Electric-types. Despite this making Kingler a lot more viable, Kingler has a weak spot in Special Defense still and 105 Speed isn't amazing.

Pelipper-Mega
Type:

Stats-
HP: 60
Atk: 50
Def: 100 -> 150 (+50)
SpAtk: 85 ->105 (+20)
SpDef: 70 -> 90 (+20)
Spe: 65 -> 75 (+10)
Ability: Prankster
Move Additions: Yawn, Taunt, Feather Dance
Description: Pelipper, with a big boost to Defense and Prankster, is now a nice physical wall with decent Special Attack and access to good Status moves like Toxic, Defog, Roost, and Stockpile. I gave it Yawn, Taunt, and Feather Dance to take advantage of Prankster. While Pelipper may be a great wall now, anything with Thunderbolt can still destroy it, and it still has a Stealth Rock weakness. Also, it's quite slow for a Prankster user, allowing it to be picked off at low HP by faster priority users.

Starmie-Mega
Type:

Stats-
HP: 60
Atk: 75 -> 80 (+5)
Def: 85 -> 100 (+15)
SpAtk: 100 -> 140 (+40)
SpDef: 85 -> 105 (+20)
Spe: 115 -> 135 (+20)
Ability: Victory Star
Move Additions: Charge Beam
Description: Starmie, with a huge boost to Special Attack and a small boost to Speed, is now a powerful Special Sweeper with great STAB in Scald/Hydro Pump and Psyshock. I gave Starmie Charge Beam for another Electric-type move to go along with Thunder, Thunderbolt, and Thunder Wave. I gave Starmie Victory Star because... I-it's a star... and helps with Hydro Pump's accuracy. Starmie does still have a weak spot in that 60/100/105 bulk isn't particularly bulky when uninvested, as it's held down by that HP. Also, 135 Spe is outsped by some very powerful things, specifically Mega Beedrill and Accelgor, who can OHKO or 2HKO it.

Starmie-Mega
Type: Water/Fairy
Stats-
HP: 60
Atk: 75 -> 45 (-30)
Def: 85 -> 105 (+20)
SpAtk: 100 -> 150 (+50)
SpDef: 85 -> 115 (+30)
Spe: 115 -> 125 (+10)
Ability: Lightninrod
Move Additions: Moonblast

Starmie takes on a safer defensive typing and with electric immunity, can hit hard! Fairly self-explanatory.

Pelipper-Mega
Type: Water/Flying
Stats-
HP: 60
Atk: 50 -> 30 (-20)
Def: 100 -> 120 (+20)
SpAtk: 85 ->145 (+60)
SpDef: 70 -> 120 (+50)
Spe: 65 -> 55 (-10)
Ability: Drizzle
Move Additions: Trick Room, Thunder
Description: A slow rain setter with Trick Room abuse, Mega Pelp is defensive and powerful with full arsenal of Rain Abuse moves.

Kingler-Mega
Type: Water/Rock
Stats-
HP: 55
Atk: 130 -> 180 (+50)
Def: 115 -> 115
SpAtk: 50 -> 20 (-30)
SpDef: 50 -> 95 (+45)
Spe: 75 -> 110 (+35)
Ability: Stalactate (Rock-ate ability)
Move Additions: Shell Smash (seriously, I'm the only one so far to abuse this?!), Quick Attack
Description: The Water/Rock combo is pretty rad. Kingler's always suffered a double dance problem choosing between Agility or Sword Dance in past gens. I say... fuck it, cram em together and commit victory! Quick Rock Attack is there in case something thinks they should revenge you.

 

[Laughing X-Naut]

Mega Kingler
Type: Water
Stats:
HP: 55
Atk: 180 (+50)
Def: 145 (+30)
Sp. Atk: 50
Sp. Def: 70 (+20)
Spd: 75
Ability: Tough Claws
New Moves: Bulldoze, Stone Edge
Description: Mega Kingler puts on a lot of bulk, and while it doesn't get any faster it keeps a decent Speed tier for Agility (at +2 you beat Scarf 115s if Jolly) and can run a Double Dance set. Tough Claws is only natural, and while it doesn't boost its new moves it does boost existing coverage moves like Knock Off and X-Scissor, and most importantly Crabhammer. Stone Edge deals with a few persons of interest while Bulldoze is largely flavor, but hey, many crustaceans regularly burrow or move sediment.

Mega Pelipper
Type: Water/Flying
Stats:
HP: 60
Atk: 50
Def: 150 (+50)
Sp. Atk: 105 (+20)
Sp. Def: 80 (+10)
Spd: 85 (+20)
Ability: Updraft (Flying-type Motor Drive)
New Moves: Baton Pass, Taunt, Whirlwind
Description: I EAT FLETCHLING FOR BREAKFAST. ...ahem. Mega Pelipper becomes essentially becomes a Mantine with the defensive utility of Skarmory, but with the unique immunity to Flying. This makes it the ultimate Talonflame counter and a great answer to many birds not named Zapdos, not to mention *gasp* the world's first Defog absorber!? (Maybe, that move is a tricky subject.) Pelipper has all it wants offensively, so I improved its support movepool a little. Baton Pass can pass Speed boosts if you prefer that to U-turn's meager chip damage, and Whirlwind notably lets it shuffle foes if you're not Defogging.

Mega Starmie
Type: Water/Psychic
Stats:
HP: 60
Atk: 85 (+10)
Def: 105 (+20)
Sp. Atk: 130 (+30)
Sp. Def: 105 (+20)
Spd: 135 (+20)
Ability: Tinted Lens
New Moves: Charge Beam
Description: It's literally Reigahere's but with a different ability. Oh, and Charge Beam for gimmicky boosting sets. The key difference is that it sacrifices accuracy for the ability to badly damage any switch-in that doesn't double resist whatever you clicked. It doesn't hit as hard as LO Starmie (and certainly not on switch-ins) and it still can't break Chansey, but that's about the only thing that wants to come in when it can break through other special sponges on its STAB alone. There are a number of ways you can go about attacking, and if you want defensive utility it has better defenses and can Reflect Type before Weavile can act.
