Metagame SV Mix n' Boosted

Mix n' Boosted

What is Mix n' Boosted?

Mix n' Boosted is a mashup of Mix and Mega and Bad n' Boosted, where stat modifications from Mix and Mega apply first. This means that any of your custom megas with a stat of 70 or less will have that stat doubled by Bad n' Boosted, leading to some very high BSTs! This leads to a powerful metagame with a high amount of variability, encouraging creativity in teambuilding. Because stat changes from Mix and Mega apply first, Sablenite Skarmory, for example, has base stats 130/90/190/120/120/80.

Stall is likely unviable due to the lack of strong Regenerator Pokémon and the extreme power Pokémon can achieve. That said, if you can build a stall team which has good success, we'll gladly put it here!

Diancite

Diancite is far and away the best mega stone in this format, as its usual drawback (lowered defenses) can be used to lower middling stats below 71, letting them be doubled. Diancite also boosts most quick Pokémon beyond the base 140 speed threshold, allowing them to avoid common speed ties. Because of this, it is often a valid teambuilding strategy to pick a Diancite user and build around them. Some of the best users include:
  • :iron-crown: Iron Crown: (90/132/120/182/136/158) - Powerful Calm Mind sweeper
  • :darkrai: Darkrai: (140/150/100/195/100/185) - Immediate power with strong Sucker Punch priority
  • :tyranitar: Tyranitar: (100/194/140/155/120/121) - Dragon Dancer who needs no speed investment
  • :rotom-wash: Rotom formes: (100/125/134/165/134/146) - Bulky, Fast, Strong, with access to Nasty Plot, Will-o-Wisp, and Volt Switch
  • :mew: Base 100 legendaries: (100/160/120/160/120/160) - Mew: Dragon Dance or Nasty Plot with perfect coverage
  • :gholdengo: Gholdengo: (87/120/110/193/102/144) - Incredible wallbreaker with Nasty Plot + Make it Rain
  • :zarude: Zarude: (105/180/130/130/110/165) - Threatening Bulk Up sweeper
  • :terrakion: Terrakion: (91/189/100/132/100/168) - Swords Dance hole-puncher
  • :kyurem: Kyurem: (125/190/100/190/100/155) - High set versatility
Some more niche users include
  • :keldeo: Keldeo: (91/132/100/189/100/168) - Limited coverage and accuracy
  • :hydreigon: Hydreigon: (92/165/100/185/100/158) - Largely outclassed by Darkrai and Tyranitar
  • :sandy-shocks: Sandy Shocks: (85/141/114/181/90/161) - Poor Coverage, but access to hazards
  • :heatran: Heatran: (91/150/132/190/132/137) - Sub-140 speed is a tragedy
  • :dragapult: Dragapult: (88/180/70/160/70/202) - Very frail, but extremely fast
