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.
Mega Charizard X is much better offensively than Mega Altaria is. It has better offensive typing and stats. It's typing has MUCH better offensive synergy (one of the few Dragons that isn't walled by Steel types) and its attack and speed are miles better than Mega Altaria's. Mega Altaria is...
It feels a little ridiculous to have TEN mega evolutions in a single rank, especially when that rank is A+. Some of those mega evolutions are better than others at performing their own job (Megallade, Megabro, CharX, etc) and it just feels a little odd that they share ranks with some of the...
I'm actually playing around currently to see what I want to nominate, but in the meantime;
Why is there no S- or S+? I know we're supposed to be talking about A- and A right now and I applogize if this is a stupid question.
The reason I ask is because some Pokemon in A+ are just better in...
Yeah it's unique as it can pull off a variety of sets and each one is used in a different way, but accomplishes the same overall goal; destroy much of the opposing team. It's why Mega Charizard X is one of the greatest OU Pokemon.
I saw earlier in the thread Solar4lyfe offered to provide an analysis on SD/TW CharX, since he seems to have left I would gladly provide such an analysis, if that's okay with OP of course.
This is actually a good idea and I could definitely get behind this.
The reason I think this could work is because, as we all know, mega Pokemon are some of the greatest Pokemon available in the meta, however, you may only utilize one per team. Because of this, I also support the idea of an "OU...
If we're weighing opportunity cost Mega Gyarados should not be S rank, that's much too high and A+ is a possibility but given Mega Charizard X performs similarly but faster and harder, I don't really think it's worthy of such a rank.
There are counters to Megagross and he suffers from slight 4MSS and has no recovery. Don't get me wrong it's definitely one of the best OU megas due to superb offenses and defenses, with added speed, but it is not the best in the tier.
This is literally the EXACT reason it isn't S Rank. And while I do love Megagross and adore its sheer power and bulk, there's just some things that hold it back from being truly S rank worthy.
A+ from me as well.
This is so conflicting man, I don't know what to really side with but after reading that I'm pretty convinced that Megagross probably isn't an S Rank Pokemon. It's so close to being one but it just isn't quite there.
I think that Megagross should remain A+ for now. Don't get me wrong, it has great bulk and some monstrous offenses with a relatively good speed. The problem here is that it cannot really take advantage of both its attack and speed like some other offensive sweepers (CharX, Megados, Megataria)...
Edit: To clarify, this is not intended to change any Smogon council members' mind, I apologize if that is what was thought. This is simply to see where everybody stands and to spark discussion about these Pokemon accordingly, since the last few pages have been lackluster to say the least.
I've...
- Stays in S. Personally tested, still the best offensive DDer in the game.
- I feel as though it should probably drop to A+ for the time being due to the reasons stated by the others before me, although it's still fantastic, it just isn't the Pokemon it was in XY.
- Keep it at S for now, it...
Okay this is ridiculous are you kidding me? Shut up. Actually discuss the topic at hand.
To actually add to this, Mega Sceptile is awesome, I definitely see him being an A Rank Pokemon. I know we're discussing A+ and S Pokemon but people aren't having actual discussion. MegaScep is ridiculously...
Just to prove a point because it obviously needs to be done;
S Rank Pokemon
+1 252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Dragon Claw vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Greninja: 396-466 (138.4 - 162.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 234-276 (72.4 -...
Is arguable? It is the number one offensive DDer in the tier.
It has the best offensive typing (Dragon/Fairy is redundant)
Best offensive stats of the three main choices (Megados, CharX, Megataria)
Fire/Dragon have great synergy and cover the majority of the OU meta.
As stated by me and many...
I actually tried that, and it works to an extant, but sometimes something unexpected happens and I wish I had a DD up. You're welcome to use it yourself and send me some replays if it works however, it may just be the rest of my team.
