Mega Pokemon Entry posted by Pahrak Model ZX August 8, 2013 1,066 views Share More sharing options... Followers 1 Apparently this is a legit thing. Some Pokemon now get Super Saiyan forms. Not sure how I feel about this yet.
Blessed Blade Posted August 8, 2013 Mega Ampharos is Electric/Dragon with mold Breaker. Blaziken has Speed Boost. Lucario gets Adaptability. That's how you should feel about this. =P Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 8, 2013 Ooh, that DOES sound good... I'm also starting to like the designs of Mega Lucario and Mega Blaziken. Really curious to see if these count as forms or evolutions, since that would mean we have an evolution for a legendary and a few evolutionary chains with four members now... Quote Link to comment
Squishyfrog Posted August 8, 2013 yo dude you might wanna put this in spoilers for people who don't wanna be spoiled EDIT also 666th comment EVILLLLLLL Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 8, 2013 Fighting paranoid overreactions... I didn't list any details, so I don't know that spoiler tags would really be necessary. Quote Link to comment
Ballom Nom Nom Posted August 8, 2013 Well, this was a pleasant surprise. It certainly explains Mewtwo's bad hair day. On the one hand, I'm really digging the improvements to Lucario and Absol, who look freaking sweet. Mawile and Ampharos gaining new types and abilities is great as well, since Ampharos looks very regal and Mawile looks pretty sinister now. I'll bet that their Mega forms see huge jumps in usage. I want them, at any rate. On the other hand, while Mega Blaziken looks utterly awesome, there's not much that one can do to improve the fighting chicken anyway. Smogon's listed it as an Uber for quite some time; this just cements that status. ~B~ Quote Link to comment
Blessed Blade Posted August 8, 2013 Ballom: The way it's being improved is that they'll make a special 'god-like' tier, and stick it in there forever. Along with maybe Mega Lucario. Quote Link to comment
Lyichir Posted August 8, 2013 I just like that Ampharos might have some utility in battles for once. I've always liked its design, but in battle it's always been pretty lackluster. Quote Link to comment
dotcom Posted August 9, 2013 Mawile has the best design and now it's a mega fairy. Happiest day. Quote Link to comment
Dual Cee Posted August 9, 2013 Imagine the possibility of a Mega Charizard... The oppurtunity for Gamefreak to bring back the all favourite pokemon by making it Drangon/Fire Quote Link to comment
Phoenixian Wraith Posted August 9, 2013 ... Mega Pokemon? So... Essentially Final Form? Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 9, 2013 Something like that, yeah. It's basically just giving new forms to Pokemon from previous Generations. Quote Link to comment
Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted August 9, 2013 I'm kind of curious what Gamefreak's thought process is behind this...boosting Blaziken is an especially odd move. I would think that they would want to keep all the "starter" families equal. Of course, there is the possibility that they're extending this to the entire roster, which can only lead to hilarity. Mega Dunsparce, anyone? Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 9, 2013 Well, this is the first time they've given new forms to old Pokemon, so perhaps they just wanted to have a reason for it rather than just having a bunch of random new form changes? A lot of people have been saying that they're low on ideas or the old Pokemon are better and whatnot, so maybe they decided to give older Pokemon a bit more spotlight this time around in response to that. Apparently some new Mega Pokemon will be revealed next month. Also, Mega Blaziken is event-exclusive--or rather, the Blazikenite item you need to achieve this form is event exclusive. A Torchic with Blazikenite will be distributed starting the first day the game is released. (Probably definitely putting this on my team. Mega Blaziken looks cool.) Quote Link to comment
Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted August 9, 2013 Hm...it looks like the transformations actually happen in battle, so it seems that you were right that these are merely form changes under a new name. Of course, now I'm curious whether these transformations use the same held item or not...I suppose it would be somewhat of a limiting factor if you could only have one Pokemon holding the "Mega Stone" at a time. Not like that stops people from duplicating items in the metagame, but I think it would be a nice touch to make these forms more difficult to achieve than regular Pokemon. Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 9, 2013 Each Pokemon needs a specific Mega Stone--Blaziken needs Blazikenite, Lucario needs Lucarionite, etc. Apparently there are other conditions for using Mega Evolution yet to be revealed, though. Quote Link to comment
Dual Cee Posted August 10, 2013 Each Pokemon needs a specific Mega Stone--Blaziken needs Blazikenite, Lucario needs Lucarionite, etc. Apparently there are other conditions for using Mega Evolution yet to be revealed, though. I imagine it would recuire full happiness, and maybe full EV's considering the whole Super Training thing, and the ability to check EV's easily. Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 10, 2013 Hm, perhaps... It looks like we're only allowed one Mega Pokemon in battle. That seems fair. Quote Link to comment
Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 10, 2013 Also, Mega Kangaskhan was just unveiled! The baby climbs out of the pouch and gets a slight redesign. Sounds simple, but its ability lets them both attack in one turn. Quote Link to comment
