  1. ## Megas Upgrade
  2. ## Strictly trying to better balance the Megas, nothing will be done to the base forms, nor will any stats be reduced to below the base form
  3. ## Some megas are broken, so there's not really anything I can do that would balance them in the first place lol
  4.  
  5. Venusaur: Grass/Poison
  6. Thick Fat
  7. -8 Atk
  8. +4 Spd
  9. +3 Sp Def
  10. +1 Sp Atk
  11. The increase in speed is marginal, but it does put it above things like Gyarados, Milotic, Dragonite, & Xurkitree, and increasing its bulk at the cost of Atk is fine since hitting EQ on Heatran for example is still a 2HKO. A very good, bulky raid-boss like Mega.
  12.  
  13. Charizard X: Fire/Dragon
  14. Tough Claws
  15. + U-Turn
  16. -20 Sp Atk
  17. +10 Spd
  18. +5 Atk
  19. +5 Def
  20. Special attack isn't used on zard X like ever, so now it's a net +1 over base Charizard. 110 base speed lets it outspeed Keldeo, Ninetales-A, Terrakion, Infernape, and countless others, and ties with the Lati-twins, Ogerpon forms, & Iron Moth. Slightly increased Physical bulk and Physical damage (doesn't need much if any tbh). This was a really good mega, just was slightly overshadowed by how easily Y could just click buttons. Now, X can also do that with the increased Speed.
  21.  
  22. Charizard Y: Fire/Flying
  23. Drought
  24. - None
  25. This is kind of a perfect mega tbh, the base 104 attack can even be used to deal with Heatran, and the ability is perfect as well. Dropping the attack is feasible, but it would make Zard-Y stronger than it needs to be because the points would end up in either Special Attack (oh lord) or Speed (120 base speed zard please no).
  26.  
  27. Blastoise: Water -> Water/Steel
  28. Mega Launcher
  29. -10 Atk
  30. + 5 Def/Sp Def
  31. This guy is very strong, as it was banned from Nat Dex. However, it was only banned because it gained Shell Smash. If you don't want to go that route, it wasn't actually that great. But, with the new additions in Flip Turn and a new steel typing to give it STAB Mega Launcher-Boosted Flash Cannons, removing its Grass weakness and giving it a bunch of resistances, it has a chance to shine as a bulky attacker as well.
  32.  
  33. Beedrill: Bug/Poison
  34. Adaptability
  35. - None
  36. This is the opposite case for Charizard-Y, as there's nothing that can really help it because of base Beedrill being so bad. It has a solid movepool to abuse Adapability, and a very high attack & speed stat. However, there's still no reason to use this over probably any other mega because... This is a Beedrill. Sorry, please get better base stats on base Beedrill, then we can talk.
  37.  
  38. Pidgeot: Normal/Flying
  39. No Guard
  40. + Focus Blast
  41. + Razor Wind buffed by removing charge turn and increase of 40 base power, but reverted to its old 75% accuracy. Wind-Type move
  42. + Blizzard
  43. Nothing can be done for the base stats, as they're about as good as you can get without reducing below base Pidgeot. However, Focus Blast is something it desperately needed, Razor Wind's buff provide strong special Normal STAB that can work in Singles or Doubles, and the accuracy drop means nothing due to No Guard. And Blizzard is a strong coverage move that, while it seems strange, is wind based, so it kind of works. You are literally walled by every Wind Rider guy, though. Honestly, though, if the stats of the Mega were Pideot's stats... we could have done something with this guy.
  44.  
  45. Example Set:
  46. Pidgeot-Mega @ Pidgeotite
  47. Ability: No Guard
  48. Tera Type: Normal
  49. - Razor Wind
  50. - Hurricane
  51. - Focus Blast/Heat Wave
  52. - U-turn/Blizzard
  53.  
  54. Alakazam: Psychic
  55. Trace
  56.  
  57. Slowbro: Water/Psychic
  58. Shell Armor
  59.  
  60. Gengar: Ghost/Poison
  61. Shadow Tag
  62.  
  63. Kangaskhan: Normal
  64. Parental Bond
  65.  
  66. Pinsir: Bug/Flying
  67. Aerilate
  68.  
  69. Gyarados: Water/Dark
  70. Mold Breaker
  71.  
  72. Aerodactyl: Rock/Flying
  73. Tough Claws
  74.  
  75. Mewtwo X: Psychic/Fighting
  76. Steadfast -> Azure Eye [When a stat is dropped, increases Attack by 2 + Turns all immune moves into not very effective]
  77. + Close Combat
  78. + Psystrike now acts like Shell Side Arm without the poison effect
  79. + Victory Dance
  80. -30 Sp Atk
  81. +10 Def
  82. +20 Sp Def
  83. - Steadfast is a pretty horrible ability, Resolute is essentially Defiant but better, punishing any stat drops from Intimidate and allowing attacks to freely hit even immune targets
  84. - Victory Dance lets Mewtwo X be a real physical threat immediately
  85. - Psystrike's change allows Mewtwo to use it's STAB Psychic a lot more liberally
  86. - Better bulk in exchange for a special attack stat that no longer matters
  87.  
  88. Example Set:
  89. Mewtwo-Mega-X @ Mewtwonite X
  90. Ability: Azure Eye
  91. Tera Type: Psychic

  99. + Psystrike now acts like Shell Side Arm without the poison effect, not affected by Sheer Force
  100. -40 Atk (Why did it even gain this?)
  101. +20 Def (Matches Mewtwo)
  102. +15 Sp Def
  103. +5 Speed
  104. - Dark typing makes Sucker Punch neutral, with added bonus STAB to hit Ghost types
  105. - Psystrike buff makes it freely spammable
  106. - Sheer Force damage increase on Dark Pulse & Coverage moves make them very powerful, and with increased accuracy, even Focus Blast becomes (somewhat) reliable
  107. - Restored the bulk of base Mewtwo
  108. - +5 Speed lets it outspeed things like Dragapult, Zeraora, and tie with Mega Beedrill
  109.  
  110. Example Set:
  111. Mewtwo-Mega-Y @ Mewtwonite Y
  112. Ability: Crimson Eye
  113. Tera Type: Psychic

  131. - Thunderclap gives a priority option outside of Trick Room
  132. - Draco Meteor gives a powerful STAB option
  133. - Slightly increased Bulk & Sp Attack in exchange for a stat it wasn't using

  211. -5 Sp Atk

  214. - Throat chop becomes the new Dark STAB of choice, as it's power is boosted
  215. - Mixed sets become stronger now that they gain a 30% boost, despite the 5 point loss
  216. - with 120 Base speed, now outspeeds things like Cinderace & Iron Valiant (w/out booster)
  217. - Magic bounce did little to actually help Absol defensively, as it wasn't trying to switch in to block hazards (it's too frail), and in a doubles meta, it would just be directly attacked anyway
  218.

  220. Absol-Mega @ Absolite
