Starmie, Excadrill, Greninja, Floette-E, Chesnaught, Delphox, Skarmory

There’s plenty new megas that are viable. I’m not really understanding this at all.

Does anyone actually use mega excadrill? I don't think I've seen it once

I kinda get what he is saying. I don't agree that there's only 2-3 viable megas I think a lot are viable, but for some reason I only see 2-3 ever used. Sometimes I see people using no mega even.

tbf ppl jus spam the best shit to climb. gren mie phox floette are all way above the other megas but there are tons of viable megas that fit within different teams

the way i see it mega excadrill is completely irrelevant and should almost never be used. It is still equally walled by skarm, but now it has no healing from lefties to let it spin multiple times and check floette. The benchmarks it hits from the stat buff are super fringe, speed tieing garchomp and flinching gourgeist or chesnaught is not a legitimate gameplan. the opportunity cost for the mega slot, and especially drill's item slot, is way too high when youre better suited to being a scarfer or a spdef fairy check.

I see MEel WAY more than Delphox. At least in my experience lately the most common sightings are like Floette, Starmie, Gren, Eel, Sableye for the weirdos trying to make stall work, and Skarm. All more than Delphox at least.

Do i jut have a skill issue or does Mega Delphox just feel so awkward to use?
Levitate is a much welcomed ability but still being weak to so many common moves/types means that you can really get much going without fearing a 1HKO or a roar/dragon tail. Greninja and Starmie being on almost every other team doesnt help either which makes it so awful to use most of the time
NP basically being a requirement also means you aren't able to use Delphoxs' surprisingly deep movepool to its fullest

seems like a mon that could use a lot of experiementation, but i really doubt ZA is a hospitable metagame for it considering the amount of natural checks found on near every single team (scarf gren/krook, hoodra, tyranitar, pursuit existing). I wouldn't count it out considering just how absurd its statspread/movepool are overall. I feel like if it was dropped in gen 9 it would be tearing shit up

i agree 100% its got the stats its just completely destroyed easily (coming from experience w/ using regular delphox to my own detriment)
needing to hold the delphoxite also cripples it even more because not being able to use HDB means its already taken into unboosted kill range for a lot of pokemon + not being able to use NP to boost up and kill on the next turn with your speed advantage
it also suffers not being able to use choice scarf which means it can't even get chip damage against M-Greninjas without WS or do any shenanigans with trick

This team from the discord has given me the most success so far but it still doesn't have anything to hit water super effectively besides grass knot (you really shouldnt be in on a water type) https://pokepast.es/eec4d7bd48b8d101

Oh hey, that's my team. Yeah it kinda struggled into stuff like starmie, pretty hard.
https://pokepast.es/1cc5232a9db45af6
Someone used that team as a base to come up with this one and it performs a bit better in my testing, if you wanted to try it? It still doesn't hit waters SE but it's a much easier time actually coming in on offensive/defensive waters.

What are people's thoughts on Mega Froslass? Not having the lightclay with Veil seems a little bad although it has a solid stat range?

I tried using her, didn't work out well as most of the times it's either I wisp one of its checks before dying or I barely kill one mon at best before dying by it's checks. Hazards + priority isn't really helping it's situation all that much too. But it would be a really cool glass cannon if the competition for mega was a bit less.

So basically..

It has a similar situation with Mega Delephox, is an absolute nuke after nplot but struggles to sweep most of the time.

Gets checked hard by Ttar/Pursuit/Various Gren sets (emphasis on the Ttar) but it's comparatively fast to the majority of the tier and hits like an absolute truck. As a traditional screen setter, it's rather worthless, but you'd rather use your veil to facilitate your own set-up and subsequently help tank against revenge killers. Among Diancie/Delphox it's one of the best Mega-evolving, Special-attacking nukes available in the tier.

I know this is about Jolteon but.. I've always wanted to use MAudino for a while now in this tier but I've never come to figure out on how to use it well. What are the usual strats and teams does MAud fit right into?

Eelektross-Mega rose from UU to OU

Alakazam dropped from OU to UU
Slowking dropped from OU to UU
Starmie dropped from OU to UU

Thank you all so much for 450k plays! It's very endearing to know how many people enjoy this little project. Stay tuned as well! DLC drops next week, and with it means a lot of new megas!

One last thing. Custom abilities are really annoying to keep up with and the council wants the metagame to be a suitable fan service to everyone who wants to experiment with the new megas, so starting on DLC release, custom abilities (including modified Corrosion for Mega Victreebel) will be out. More on that soon.

E: Also last month's stats were re-run so check those out:

One last thing. Custom abilities are really annoying to keep up with and the council wants the metagame to be a suitable fan service to everyone who wants to experiment with the new megas, so starting on DLC release, custom abilities (including modified Corrosion for Mega Victreebel) will be out. More on that soon.

This is a devistating blow to megas who are already dogshit. Imagine being a Mega Malamar fan right now.
No Simple + Contrary.
No Auto Trick Room.
No Nothing.
At this point, we should give it Suction Cups to complete the humilation ritual.

i personally support killing all the interesting megas who had a chance at viability & being fun /s

Glad you agree. Custom abilities felt completely out of place here, especially for things like Chesnaught which is the most egregious example.

 

[stardustspy]

Im glad customs are going tbh, I always felt that pretty much every new mega could work with an already existing ability.

The only two who i felt deserve custom abilities were -mega and -mega. Although Mega Victreebel could work with something like Supersweet Syrup or Toxic Debris, Mega Malamar was absolutely hopeless, with the only abilities that could save it that I can think of are Prankster (the most likely candidate), Wonder Guard (absolutely out of the question), and Huge Power ( anyone?).

Given the incoming metagame changes with all the new pokemon in the DLC, and the ability changes, i decided to do some predictions.

Mega Eelektross: Ion Battery > Earth Eater or Electric Surge. Eelektross's whole identity is having no weaknesses, so giving it Earth Eater seems pretty simple change. However, Eelektross is notably lacking in power compared to other Megas, so I can also see Electric Surge being possible. but i doubt it.
Mega Malamar: Contrarian > Contrary or Prankster. Prankster Topsy Turvey would actually be amazing against a lot of the setup sweepers such as Mega Skarmory, and it also gets Destiny Bond so we can use Prankster Destiny Bond and have it actually do something other then nuke 1 or 2 mons
Mega Falinks: Brass Bond > Defiant, Mirror Armor or Simple. The Speed Boost Mega Falinks propoganda has left my brain and i have finally reasoned with 2 potential and less broken abilities. The former 2 would block Intimidate, which is pretty much neccessary for Mega Falinks to be viable, but Simple would allow it to get +2 off No Retreat, which would be extremely powerful. The only issue is that Mega Falinks also gets Swords Dance so that might end up being better with Simple, and it also means Intimidate sends it to -2, so it might make it very matchup fishy.
Mega Chesnaught: Protective Thorns > Dauntless Shield. While Bulletproof would be technically more useful for it, Dauntless Shield Mega Chesnaught would allow Chesnaught to play in its base form to dodge moves like Shadow Ball, and then mega evolve later to endgame with a Dauntless Shield boost.
Mega Hawlucha: Luchador's Pride > Stamina. I dont know why we gave it a speed boosting version of Moxie, when Stamina not only makes it a strong Body Press user, but also matches its dex entry. Although i do wish we could see a world where we give Mega Hawlucha Tinted Lens just to see if it would be viable with Flying Press...
Mega Floette: Ange > Fairy Aura. Ange is bullshit, and because Floette lacks any sort of coverage other then Grass, it might aswell boost its Fairy moves substantially.

I cant really think of any relavent calcs, so i'll throw this one here just to show how impactful it would be
252+ SpA Floette-Mega Light of Ruin vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar-Mega in Sand: 326-386 (80.6 - 95.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Fairy Aura Floette-Mega Light of Ruin vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar-Mega in Sand: 434-512 (107.4 - 126.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
It also means Zygarde actually has an ability in exactly 1 matchup instead of 0, so thats nice.

Mega Mega Meganium Flower Veil > Triage. Why on earth did we ever think Triage would be bad on a bulky Mega??? I get it was early days, but people have been asking for Triage Meganium since forever, so it should get Triage.
Mega Excadrill: Mold Breaker > Sand Force or Rocky Payload. Mega Excadrill actually needs a relavent ability for it to be viable, despite being Excadrill. Sand Rush would probably make it too overwhelming, so Sand Force actually makes sense here. Although I think Rocky Payload would also make sense even if it can only be used with Rock Slide.
Mega Victreebel: Corrosion (+hit Steels) > Toxic Debris or Supersweet Syrup. Chlorophyll doesnt make sense because we have no sun setters. Supersweet Syrupt would allow it to use Power Whip or Leaf Storm without fear of missing, and Toxic Debris would allow it to set Toxic Spikes which, given its mixed attacking stats, would probably give it a niche.

okay im tired goodbye smogon forums

Since there isn’t going to be custome abilities anymore, here are my proposed suggestions


Ability: Toxic Chain
Toxic Chain is the signature ability of the Loyal Three and is in general a pretty good ability. Victreebel gets access to Knock Off, Bullet Seed, Sucker Punch, and some other utility attacking moves that would benefit from it. It also can activate on either attacking side which fits Mega Victreebel’s stats at least.
Still pretty bad, but stronger than just poisoning Steel and Poison types.


Ability: Electric Surge
There really isn’t a way to all that effectively salvage Mega Eelektross while making sense. This is the best ability for it that fits Eelektross.
No custom abilities is gonna devistate all the mono Electric megas since it’s really hard coming up with fitting abilities for them. It’s basically only Electric Surge, Transistor, and the Electric immunity abilities.


Ability: Dauntless Shield
Honestly Chesnaught should had this ability since the start. Not only fitting it more, but also being a better ability in general. The old custom ability was nice, but it’s only be marginally helpful. +1 Def gives Chesnaught one of the strongest Body Presses in the game without set up or Tera. +1 Def is also very useful for setting up too.


Ability: Magic Guard
Floette getting a brand new ability is unavoidable. It’s a super special Mega. If there was an exception to which Mega gets a custom ability, it should be Floette-E.
But in case there is no exception for any Mega, then Floette should get Magic Guard.
Magic Guard fitting Floette since it’s almost an evolution of Flower Veil. Flower Veil blocking all status, and Magic Guard blocking the damage from status (which is technically worse since it doesn’t block para, sleep, or freeze) and all other indirect damage.
As you can tell, this also greatly benefits Floette because of its signature move having the downside of causing indirect recoil damage.


Ability: Suction Cups or Truant or something bad.
Ok there is no ability that can make Mega Malamar good without being broken without custom abilities.
A better version of Contrary wasn't even enough to save Mega Malamar from being terrible, so Contrary itself is off the table.
Wonder Guard/Shadow Tag would be too much since it only has 2 weaknesses and unlike Shedinja has an actual HP stat too.
Huge Power might make it alright, which sounds absurd to say, but Mega Malamar has issues with actually attacking because its so slow and frail despite of its mega focusing on bulk. That isn't also mentioning how Huge Power, Wonder Guard, STag have nothing to do with Malamar.

And you know what? What if Mega Malamar being absolute garbage was GameFreak's intention. Almost every Mega is designed to be at least a "side grade". Whether those intentions become reality, like with Mega Garchomp, is ultimately more circumstance of how things play out. But GameFreak is no stranger to making intentionally bad Pokemon, moves, abilities, etc. with 0 thought of it ever actually being good. One of the most famous Pokemon is Magikarp which is supposed to be useless and learns a literally useless move (outside of Gen 7).
What if GameFreak's intention was to subvert our expectations of Megas? We expect megas to be better or at least have some use case over their regular form. So what if GameFreak intentionally made Mega Malamar bad?
This would surprisingly fit the Malamar line. The entire line being about inverting things. To evolve Inkay, you need to invert your 3DS/Switch/Iphone. They get Contrary because that ability inverts stat changes. Its signature move is about inverting the target's stat changes. Everything about the Malamar line is about reversing things. Even the stats of Mega Malamar make reference to inversions. HP is upside down SpA, Def is upside down Spe, and the 2 and 0 in Atk swap for SpD. But what if the purpose of its stats being like that because the entire intention with Mega Malamar was to also make it bad on purpose? Making Mega Malamar would invert the purpose of Megas by having a Mega that is just way worse than the original. This of course keeping in line with the 100 BST rule that only Mega Zygarde breaks (which it can because its special and gets a powerful move to compensate). Having the absolute worst stat distribution you could have for a +100 BST. It's so bad that you can use AV Malamar for nearly the same Pokemon.
By giving Mega Malamar Suction Cups (or some other useless/awful ability), you end up with a Mega that is subverts our expectations of what Megas are supposed to be and end up with a Mega that fits the themes of the line more.
Anyways if any executive at A24 or Reddit needs a creative genius, you know where to contact me.


Ability: Stamina
I feel similarly about Mega Hawlucha as I do Mega Chesnaught. Like how Mega Ches should have gotten Dauntless Shield, Mega Hawlucha should get Stamina. It practically was advertised with Stamina in mind. And if Archaludon can have Stamina, then so can Hawlucha. It'd make good use of Stamina too. Having access to Body Press, Roost, Defog, and Encore, and having pretty good bulk with a decent speed tier.


Ability: Defiant or Tough Claws
Yeah I don't have any other ideas that aren't custom abilities. Falinks appreciates Defiant at least since it prevents Intimidate from ruining its No Retreat. Would have liked my Full Mecha Body idea.
We can also have something similar to Brass Bond where it gets Tough Claws. It effectively keeps Brass Bond since it has the same boosts for pretty much all its moves. It's also better since you don't get destroyed by Rocky Helmet or Rough Skin.

Also some bonus ability changes for Megas that are currently weak.


Ability: Refrigerate
You know what. Fuck it. Just give Manectric Refrigerate.
Manectric already got screwed over by Hidden Power being taken away. It really would appreciate having Ice coverage.
I don't care if it makes sense, it really needs to happen considering we're getting 3 whole new mono-Electric Megas and Manectric needs to make it self stand out.

 

[kurunaoi]

lets not give manetric refrigerate

Is there a phobia of "Making Mega Manectric even halfway decent" or something? Does mentioning Mega Manectric cause Mega Lopunny to have an Anti-memetic effect where people forget that it exists?
God forbid an Electric type, which from Gens 2 to 7 and Gen 9 and earlier on in this format, have any means to hit Ground types that completely blank their STAB otherwise.
Did people become mindbroken with Regieleki because it could Tera Blast Ice that much that a Pokemon that had HP Ice before is gonna be broken with Ice coverage?
Mega Manectric doesn't have 200 Spe. It has 135, which is the same as Mega Lopunny which has dual unresisted STABs, Sword Dance, dual STAB priority, better bulk, and higher BP moves. I don't see any of you guys clamoring for a Mega Lopunny ban, but the thought of Manectric having Ice coverage that isn't a shitty Ice Fang + Strong Jaw set causes panic somehow.
Mega Manectric is also weaker than Regieleki with its STAB.
252 SpA Transistor Regieleki Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 160-189 (46.9 - 55.4%) -- 69.5% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Manectric-Mega Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 153-180 (44.8 - 52.7%) -- 22.7% chance to 2HKO
This not including items like Life Orb or how it doesn't take up a Mega slot or how can use Tera Water or Tera Grass too.

And keep in mind we're getting 3 brand new Electric Megas, all 3 having moves to hit Ground and Dragon types, higher BST, probably faster too, and having Volt Tackle/Plasma Fist. Can't imagine how you guys would react to that if Mega Manectric with actual coverage scares you this badly.

Pokémon don't get ate abilities that they can't gain STAB off of. That is how it's been handled exclusively since inception, I don't see this mod deviating from that design philosophy either, so I suggest trying a different option if you feel Manectric has to be buffed (idrc tbh, Manectric hasn't been good since Gen 6 ended)
