HELLO
Mega Magearna is now BANNED.
Ability Changes:
Mega Glimmora: toxic chain -> rocky payload
Mega Garchomp Z: Neuroforce -> Rough Skin
Mega Victreebel: Toxic Debris > Triage
More to come soon.
Mega Magearna gone is great.
I thought you’d guys would nerf Mega Magearna like with Greninja or just ban Magearna as a whole. This is positive though.
I like Mega Glimmora with Rocky Payload. Toxic Chain was very redundant on a Pokemon that is known for Poisoning foes anyways. Rocky Payload only helps with 1 move, but does it hit really hard now.
252 SpA Glimmora Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 132-156 (38.7 - 45.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 SpA Glimmora-Mega Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 145-172 (42.5 - 50.4%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Rocky Payload Glimmora-Mega Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 219-258 (64.2 - 75.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Rocky Payload also lets you 2HKO offensive Mega Heatran
252 SpA Rocky Payload Glimmora Power 252 SpA Rocky Payload Glimmora-Mega Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Heatran-Mega: 160-190 (49.5 - 58.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
So this buff is pretty rock solid.
Mega Chomp Z getting Rough Skin is also very nice nerf. It was the weakest of the Z Megas, but is still a Z Mega. At least now Mega Chomp Z has a chance to stay.
Also Neuro Force doesn’t make any thematical sense.
Speaking of, Triage makes no sense for Mega Victreebel. In fact it makes the opposite sense. But gameplay wise it makes sense. Victreebel has more moves to abuse Triage with than Meganium, and more importantly gets Growth.
Priority Strength Sap, crazy.
+2 Giga Drain, crazy.
And hey, Leech Life is technically there, which it can use with Sword Dance. And it hits Psychic types.
This definitely feels like it’ll be more impactful in the Blunder Tours though, where Drought isn’t tied to another Mega.
