Hoenn is not a new world... Unless...
Also the different looking Groudon and Kyogre better not be mega evolutions. Kyogre doesn't fucking need a mega evolution.

Mega-Groudon is going to learn Omega Destroyer with those tentacles from his movie.

If Mega Rayquaza is going to be a mix between Groudon and Kyogre, then its ability might involve a mix of both Drizzle and Drought.

Considering the 3DSXL perhaps. Since my 3ds can't be charged due to the charger port unexpectedly ripped off, Hopefully I'll be able to get one so I can train my Pokemon from X to the day OR/AS releases. Also maybe get Genesect.

Mega Rayquaza sounds as threatening as Mewtwo Y. The kids think they're invincible with it, everyone else knows they're better off with the life orb regular version.
Mega Kyogre though would probably be messed up. It's easy to take the most brain-dead broken pokemon in the game and make it more stupid. Like give its mega evolution swift swim so then when Kyogre enters the field, drizzle activates and then it can mega evolve into something that won't need a choice scarf to begin its brain-dead onslaught.

Agreed with this. Unless it fulfills a completely different role, normal life orb rayquaza would be still better. Quite the same deal with mega scizor but mega scizor can work as a physical wall with defog.
Mega Kyogre would be really danger... it would depends of the ability. If anything the scarfed water spout would still be better if it doesn´t get an ability like swift swim.
Legitimaly excited about a sceptile and swampert mega evolution!! All of the yes!!!

Maybe rain dish on kyogre to heal and keep spouting i guess?That would hurt.
Groundon might be getting something like solar power to become a mixed beast? It´s a possibility.
And now, since the games have been anounced, we just need to wait until the sinnoh announced jokes pop out :D

Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement. During the Investor Briefing today, Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire.
In case anyone doubted it.

I seriously doubt Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza are gonna get Mega Evolutions, or at least not like the one in the silhouette in the fake image up there (anyone notice that it's just pieces of the three randomly slapped together?). If they do, though, I have hope that Gamefreak will try to balance it out, seeing how they nerfed weather this gen.
Also UGH my least favorite Pokemon games getting a remake.

Mega Rayquaza sounds as threatening as Mewtwo Y. The kids think they're invincible with it, everyone else knows they're better off with the life orb regular version.
In all fairness, Mega Mewtwo Y DOES reach a higher speed tier than regular Mewtwo, allowing it to break speed ties with Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Gengar, as well as having higher special bulk, no recoil every time it attacks, and stops Darkrai from spamming Dark Void.
That being said, its design is still stupid as fuck.

Tyranitar and Abomasnow retained their original abilities in their Mega forms, I doubt Mega Kyogre/Groudon would be any different. Worst case scenario you'll have something comparable to Life Orb Kyogre with better bulk, (possibly) higher speed, and ability to change the weather back to rain at will.

I seriously hope the new Groudon forme (whether it be a mega or just Groudon fused with the Red Orb... or something) isn't Ground/Fire. That seriously would screw it over really badly. Sure, it'd get STAB Fire Punch, but that's just laughable.
Lol if he gets a Fire-type move that's super-effective on Water-types though.

Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The Fisher King on May 10, 2014, 09:44:24 pm
Water/Dragon is one of the best typing combinations in the game providing just 2 weaknesses (thanks to Fairy) and plenty of neutralities, with bunch of resistances. Steel/Fairy is the best typing combination in the game.
If Groudon still keeps Drought as its ability and its new mega become Fire/Ground it would be still be pretty difficult to take that thing down in the sun without boosted attacks. Would be really counterproductive thought.

The only way to overcome a weakness is to get a move that renders the offensive weak. For example, Greninja maybe a Water/Dark type, but it can learn other moves like Power Up Punch and Grass Knot. Turn the tables and that's winning!

My favorite way to overcome weaknesses is switching. Or using the knowledge of such a weakness to my advantage and bluff an opponent to switch in to my trap. Also power up punch with Greninja is not a good idea in the slightest.

Agreed.
The only users of Freeze Dry comes with their own set of problems and liabilities.
All of them are weak to stone edge and fighting type attacks and the ones that is not weak to rock type attacks are weak to the water types they are supposed to combat against.
Basically, they are a living weakness nightmare that should be used only if you are confident that they will not get wrecked almost immediately.
Of course, you always have focus sash...

I use Physical Greninja. Waterfall, Night Slash, Acrobatics and Shadow Sneak is the moveset. What are you talking about? Do every Greninja have to be a special attacker because of the small difference between Base Attack and Base Sp. Atk?

Post by: TempesT on May 12, 2014, 07:10:07 am
http://www.serebii.net/potw-xy/658.shtml said:
A set worth mentioning is one that takes advantage of Greninja's Physical Attack instead of Special. Greninja actually has a rather large Physical movepool, probably even bigger than its Special. The reason Physical Greninja fails is more due to how easily Special Greninja gets perfect coverage with so few moves. The base power of Physical Greninja's moves is also quite low. It doesn't have a single Physical move with over 85 base power besides Return and Giga Impact (and item-less Acrobatics). When Flying Gem is released you could potentially use Power Up Punch / Acrobatics / Waterfall / filler to do some unexpected damage, but overall it's better to just use the Special set.
This seems like a pretty objective take on Special vs Physical Greninja.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The Fisher King on May 12, 2014, 08:16:37 am
Yep, it is an objective and correct analysis. Greninja has variety on the physical side but lacks powerful physical attacks. You can still use if you want, that´s up to everyone else.

Post by: Kirishima on May 14, 2014, 03:45:32 am
One neat thing about Physical Greninja. It's up there with Normals and Avalugg by being really good in Inverse Battles compared to its standard moveset.
I had a talk about Omega and Alpha with my colleagues and an idea just came up. I'm guessing there could be an item of sorts to go along with these remakes. Fire Red/Leaf Green had the Wireless Adapter, Heart Gold/Soul Silver with the PokeWalker.
Seeing as the E-Reader played a role in the early Ruby/Sapphire days by playing against set AI teams, Enigma Berries, and the Eon Ticket, I'm guessing a successor of sorts will come along complete with selectable cards. Just a thought.

Yep, it is an objective and correct analysis. Greninja has variety on the physical side but lacks powerful physical attacks. You can still use if you want, that´s up to everyone else.
I cannot explain how much Shadow Sneak has saved me from Fighting types on my Physical Greninja, My Special one doesn't have as much luck but eh, he does a great job too.

It depends upon how you use Greninja in anyway. Physical or Special, it's your decision. Anyway... does anyone have a Porygon? 2 or Z?

I have a porygon, Actually breed 5 perfect IV into it myself, took FOREVER. but not as long as it took to breed my 5 IV female Espeon, oddly.
On another note, ugh I did not like ruby and sapphire as games, the music was terrible and they had by far the stupidest gangs in all of Pokémon history,
I'll probably end up getting it but only if they don't release some update to allow me to use whatever megas or whatever I like from X and Y. (Which they probably won't)
...Or they put in another world tournament thing but with the elite four members as well.

I bet they'll patch them in, but for the purposes to see them in battles only, instead of having to revert pokemon to their original forms like battling between diamond/platinum and black/black 2.
So you might be able to hack them into your party.

It's called having the same composers compose your entire series. You might as well call out almost every video game series. Just like artists composers have their signature music styles.

Not really. Like, Silent Hill for example has had the same composer up until Silent Hill Downpour and their music, while has an identifiable quality to them that they generally share, does not sound as samey as most tracks across the pokemon series. The Pokemon series soundtrack is like your average webcomic guy where their style is just the same base character design with a different costume, hair, and a few slightly different facial features.
this happens when a sound team has to compose original pieces of music for every locale and type of battle across 7 different generations
Except it's always been that way up starting with Gen 2 (Even the Johto part. The Kanto part has an excuse given that it's in Kanto). At least until somewhat recently where they did attempt different things with some tracks like throwing some guitar into Black/White 2's Rival battle theme and X/Y's Gym Leader theme sounding like club music.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The 100 Mega Shock! on May 16, 2014, 08:44:52 pm
I think there's been more change recently though, several new composers joining since HG/SS and B/W and the departure of others.
By the looks of things Go Ichinose doesn't appear to have worked on the XY music at all which is interesting if he's not with the studio anymore - that would make Masuda the only one left of the three composers that originally scored Ruby / Sapphire.
Masuda still appears to compose almost every single battle theme though.

I think the only reason you think they sound the same is because the earlier games were limited to 8-bit midis. It's not really fair to compare them to Silent Hill.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: Alpaca-San on May 16, 2014, 08:59:47 pm
And the series would continue beyond 8-bit midis and their soundtrack would still be dominated by the same drum and trumpets style. I can point out other franchises that started 8 bit. Like other Nintendo franchises. Are any of them really as samey sounding as Pokemon soundtracks?

Notice I said a lot of the music sounds the same and not all of it. The games do have their unique tracks especially X and Y where they did things I never thought I'd hear in any pokemon game. The However, a lot of the soundtracks are still that same ol' motivational drum and trumpets tunes.

All you posted but the Black/White 2 rival theme has that same taste to it. And I did say that black/white 2 rival battle theme was different and I liked the use of guitars in it earlier in this thread. I'm not referring only to battle music either. I am not referring to any particular category of the soundtrack. I'm just saying a lot (And not all) of the general soundtrack sounds samey.

youre going to need to post examples, ill go even further on how even in related settings the music is different
heres a harder to prove example, league music, but if you listen in full you can see ach stands out as unique for its own reason, irregardless of "taste" or "feeling"
if you are going off "same motivational/ominous feel" i dont know what to tell you, thats what the pokemon league is supposed to be.

again you are picking at the idea that the music all give you the same feel (using the term motivational from your own words as an example) which doesnt make sense as pokemon battles are supposed to be motivational, league themes are supposed to be ominous, etc. to make league themes a bouncy circus theme or something, for the sake of being different, isnt breaking anything formulaic, its being completely random and unfitting. however looking at it from a "difference in composition" standpoint your argument totally falls flat because that music is distinctly different from one another unless you are tone deaf or something.

It's not just that it's motivational, it's motivational in too much of the same way. It's hard to explain but maybe the best way I can say it is the different sounding tracks really stand out so much compared to the bulk of their respective sound tracks. Like the whimsical fantasy Laverre city music from X/Y, the menacing Diamond/Pearl legendary battle theme, the eerie atmospheric Strange House theme from Black/White 2, and the...well...awesome Route 10 track from Black/White 1.
Also it's not a matter of who's right and who's wrong to me as much as it is me holding my ground on my opinion.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]

the overgeneralization is too strong, the bulk of their respective soundtracks does nothing for me unless you are posting examples. if you are talking bulk of the respective soundtracks that means you are talking route themes, town themes etc. i can probably sit here and post examples all day about how its different. but focusing on motivational thats hardly a proper criticism theres many different ways a song can be motivational and imo thats far, far, far too subjective a term to use to accuse an entire body of work of being formulaic. let me demonstrate how formulaic this series is by grabbing random songs

As a frequent listener of these musics (because I'm sad and I like to listen to 30 minute loops), I can verify that Pokémon has some fantastic music with tons of variety. The legendary battle themes are all quite radically different.

The XD multiplayer battle theme cannot be called varied at all. It's literally the trainer battle theme from pokemon ruby/sapphire/emerald.
And your pokemon music listening experience is not as sad as mine. I've heard all of the music a lot because I've played through some of the games multiple times to get more starters, legendaries, certain TMs and stuff.

Most or all of the pokemon trainer battle theme sounds exactly the same. Pokemon has its really amazing soundtracks in many games but you can´t have a perfect album (Black & White soundtrack was a blast for me thought, especially White soundtrack... amazing).
All of the Legendary poke soundtracks has been great. I remember with a lot of love the Sinnoh legendary soundtracks.

jingles are like pieces of music you hear in passing, theyre hardly good examples. ive listened to almost every pokemon ost, i am still not seeing this as evidence of formulaic, especially as its gen 1 to 2. again my major point is composition-wise the osts as wholes are totally unique. you can say that certain music across generations have a certain feel for certain situations but everywhere else i dont see it as formulaic. and to call it formulaic based on vague generalizations isnt working for me

Soccer Balling everything gets old fast. And once again, PSS is probably a must because of the new 3DS Friend system and how things work. However, my main wanted feature is them there secret bases. Imagine a 3DS Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Secret Base hub you can go to in-game as opposed to the Friend Safari. Battle your friends and access Pokémon exclusive to their friend code. That way they keep the actual Safari Zone, and still have a semblance of Friend Safaris. And who's ready for official Latiasite/Latiosite? No better time to release those Megas than with Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. I just have such high expectations for these games. Sapphire was my first Pokémon game, and I still have it. No battery drying thanks to also having Colosseum with the battery fix. So hype

FFS this post is literally below Ricepigeon's post.
Fairy Type got leaked in March/April last year. X/Y came out in October.
You mean this leak? (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=57642516&postcount=1) An amalgamation of guesses based on info we've already known? Though some things are legitimate. Plus, I did say:
Unless someone's willing to get his entire department fired, no one internally would allow any leaks to come out of them.
Which leads to the whole Gen V starters thing. Remember that one guy named Hiro? The most famous leaker of info who actually worked for Official Nintendo Magazine Spain. While it may not have been internal, it was the closest thing to it, with actual insider info from press previews. He's as responsible for both the Gen V leaks (with an accomplice) and whatever legitimate facts were in the link I posted above.
I wonder what he's doing now, but whatever it is, he must have been through hell for having fucked with TPC.

It has been confirmed that the epsiode of Pokémon Get☆TV that is due to air on June 15th is to feature a large scoop of the latest Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire information. As stated last month, the issue of CoroCoro, due out at the end of next week, promises to have new information as well so it is likely to be a repeat of that information.

Speaking of Mega Weather Trio, I'm beginning to wonder if Thousand Arrows/Thousand Waves are actually the signature moves of Groudon & Kyogre, rather than Zygarde...
... The only thing that stops this theory from being plausible is the fact that both are Ground type moves, rather than Ground and Water, respectively...

Spoiler: So CoroCoro leaked(click to see content)
Serebii.net said:
The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming games. This reveals Mega Sceptile, Swampert and Diancie. Mega Sceptile is Grass/Dragon-type while the others maintain their type. Mega Diancie's ability is currently listed as ??? while Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod and Mega Swampert has the ability Swift Swim. Groudon & Kyogre's new "Mega Evolutions" are known as Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Groudon & Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Kyogre and are said to be a regression. Steven Stone returns and also appears to have a Mega Charizard X and is after the secret for Mega Evolution Both the Mach and Acro Bike make a return in this game and Team Aqua & Team Magma both return as well. Team Magma is lead once again by Maxie, and his Admins: Tabitha & Courtney. Team Aqua is lead by Archie and his admins Matt and Shelley, all of whom have been redesigned. Like the originals the team you face varies depending upon the game The Mega Evolution activating item in this game is the Mega Bangle.

Honestly I'm not a fan of Mega Swampert's design but I suspect it'll grow on me. Those Team redesigns look amazing. Pirate Archie especially. Mega Diancie. Why. Mach and Acro Bike make a return. Aww man. I hated having to change bikes for certain stuff. Zard Y still gets no love.

I refuse to believe the fat guy of Team Magma is the new Tabitha and Shelly is actually Dahlia under a different name while with Team Aqua before joining the Frontier.
Mega Scep looks great with Grass/Dragon and immunity to Electric with a good Sp.Att to boost. Mega Swamp, well, I'm curious if his speed got any changes to make Swift Swim viable, design looks okay even though I keep thinking Mega Blastoise size. And please nerf Speed Boost (not happening).
Archie looks menacing now, like it.

The male protagonist looks alright, digging the top. The female protagonist is what looks really bad.
Really digging both new starter mega evos. Diancie got the mega garde bride treatment (that thing hasn´t been released yet and it has a mega evo already?). Really liking the redesigns of team aqua and magma, makes sense to make aqua team being tanned.

Fire/Ground isn´t too bad with that freaking bulk and if it keeps drought, even better. You gotta watch out for Water obviously but still you can cover that quite easily.
I kinda like the mega sableye concept, it practically got a jewel for itself instead of eating it. It gives a vibe of a little guy obseesed with the ring and naming it "My precious" though, I don´t know why.

Yeah, those two sound really scary honestly. They're both good pokemon to add to the team, and depending on what ability they get in Mega form, they may be even more difficult to fight against.
I'm glad Flygon gets a Mega form. I like this pokemon, but it's not OU tier unfortunately, so I hope this Mega form raises his tier (aka becomes a good option to use).

You can use Flygon in OU, he's just not all that strong. I used a scarf Medicham in OU forever and it would usually do ok. Last time I checked, there were several pokemon in UU that were only there due to priority normals and stealth rock(Alakazam comes to mind). Did they ever nerf SR outside of new pokemon learning it?

These can be interesting since some of these Pokemon aren't too bad, but Zangoose and Seviper are KINDA gimped by having no evolutions(except for the anime), so this can help them. Sharpedo also seems like a Pokemon that can easily be buffed by having one too.
But yeah, along with the others, Mega-Metagross and Mega-Salamence is SCREAMS of instant OU ban due to them already being dangerous for their time and some time after that and getting a Mega could easily make them wreck house all over the place.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will allow you to create Secret Bases that can be customized by outfitting them with Decorations, mazes or traps, or setting up Pokémon battle rules to transform the base into the player’s own Pokémon Gym. You can then share your Secret Bases using either StreetPass functionality or QR Codes.
When visiting other Secret Bases, players can meet other Trainers in the same base and invite them back to their own Secret Base as “Secret Pals”. Once someone is a Secret Pal, you can interact and battle with them. Secret Pals will also be able to confer benefits such as sharing Decorations, making Pokémon eggs hatch faster, or even raising the level of a select Pokémon by one.
You can also capture flags while visiting other players’ Secret Bases. Flags are located beside the Secret PC in each Secret Base, and the more flags you collect, the higher you’ll raise your rank, which will result in rewards such as improving the skills of your Secret Pals. Needless to say, the more Secret Pals you have, the better.
I can make my own Gym?! YES

Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The Fisher King on July 10, 2014, 07:26:13 pm
The only thing Bulletproof could provide to MegaMetagross is an immunity to bulletproof which is pretty cool by itself, and some aura spheres since he is immune to poison anyways. Levitate doesn´t sounds too bad either since I can count the effective mold breakers with one hand.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]

Let´s see the new stats and we will see. The thing with metagross 80/130/90 bulk already which is pretty respectable, this mega will be bulky as heck.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: Ricepigeon on July 10, 2014, 07:35:10 pm
TLDR; with Bulletproof, Mega Metagross becomes pretty much a solid check to Aegislash, being immune to Shadow Ball courtesy of Bulletproof, and immune to Toxic due to its steel type. The only things Aegislash can really do to it is Shadow Sneak or Pursuit, neither of which is going to OHKO unless MegaGross tries to switch out on the latter, and Swords Dance Aegislash is pretty much nonexistant at this point.
Its still going to have huge issues with Bisharp, Landorus, and Mega Charizard X, but at least its mega stone will render Knock Off at 65 base power.
EDIT: Interesting thing to note is that with Levitate, it becomes sort of a check to Landorus:
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Metagross: 172-203 (47.2 - 55.7%) -- 77% chance to 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Psychic vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Metagross: 42-48 (11.5 - 13.1%) -- possible 8HKO
And this isnt even taking the Mega Form's stat boosts into account.

Well Shiftry was on that previous "leaked list" of megas. Considering that is Sidney's main pokemon it is entirely possible.
Sidney's main Pokemon was Absol, who already got an Mega Evo

Even if a Move Tutor was there (which I dont recall), Leaf Blade was never a move tutor.

Rock Star gets Meteor Mash, Ph.D gets Electric Terrain, Belle gets Icicle Crash?!, Pop Star gets Draining Kiss, and Libre with Flying Press.
I was right, this is defiantly like Rotom Formes. I absolutely love it.
Notice that MegaMence has Rayquaza's marks on its face. And with Aerialite, curious if I should give my Emerald Physical Mence Double Edge or Body Slam while its still in the cartridge. Also its design looks strange, takes a while to get use to.
Did not expect Lopunny to get a Mega Evo. Nevertheless I welcome. Though wonder if the Switcharoo set is still viable after this.
Mega Altaria so fluffy. Now it can have a role of its own after years of neglect. This is fantastic and I love its design!

Aerilate + Return or Aerilate + Headbutt/Body Slam seems a bit wtf. Seriously, why break it even more? Mega Lopunny sounds.. threatening, to say the least. With Fight/Normal STAB and Scrappy, it gets perfect neutral coverage. The only thing it can't hit with a STAB move is Shedinja, which, lolshedinja.

Regular Salamence is currently sitting in BL with a C- rank in the OU meta (which is in the same rank as stuff like Umbreon, Dugtrio, and Ludicolo, which isnt too great).
This Mega is exactly what it needs to push it back to a top tier threat, especially on Birdspam teams that are making a huge comeback now that Aegislash is gone. And don't forget that this thing can run a mixed set, AND gets Hyper Voice to boot.

Umbreon is actually a staple on my teams for UU and OU. So C- to me only means that people aren't using it the right way.
The definition of C+, C, and C- according to Smogon:
Quote
C Rank: Reserved for Pokemon that have notable niches in the OU metagame, but have just as many notable flaws that prevent them from being effective. Pokemon in the C tier often require significant support to be effective. Pokemon from this rank tend to face a lot of competition with the more commonly used Pokemon.
Its C- because its largely outclassed by Sylveon (B-), Chansey (A-), Clefable (A+), and Alomomola (B-) as a Wish Passer, and the former three also outclass it as a Cleric with Heal Bell.
As a Physical Wall, its massively outclassed by Mandibuzz (A), who can also take physical hits while maintaining an offensive presence against physical attackers with Foul Play, but also lacks the Fighting type weakness that plagues Umbreon, in addition to having reliable recovery and actually providing team support with Taunt, Toxic, and most importantly Defog. Other Physically Defensive Walls/Tanks that Umbreon competes with are Landorus-T (A), Skarmory (A-), MegaVenusaur (A+), Ferrothorn (A), Hippowdon (A), Rotom-Wash (A), Amoongus (B+), Quagsire (B+), Slowbro (B+), Suicune (B+), and Zapdos (B+). Heck, even Rhyperior (B-) and Chesnaught (B-) give it competition as a Physical Wall/Tank.
As a Special Wall, stuff like Heatran (A) and Chansey (A-) do the job much much better. Theres also Specially Defensive Gliscor (A), Assault Vest Tornadus-T (B+), and even Defensive Mega Charizard X (S) and Defensive Mega Charizard Y (A) that also perform the role of a Special Tank.
A Pokemon's ranking is also dependent on its matchup against top tier (ie: S, A+, and A rank) threats:
S Rank: (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/006-mx.png): DD Sweeper +1 Flare Blitz OHKOs specially defensive Umbreon, 2HKOs Physically Defensive. Defensive Zard X burns with Wisp, and Umbreon can't do anything back if it doesn't run Toxic. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/645.png): Life Orb + Sheer Force Focus Blast 2HKOs. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/303-m.png): Instant Loss (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/642.png): Focus Blast variants OHKO after a Nasty Plot boost. Total Matchups: 0/4
A+ Rank: (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/184.png): Lol no (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/625.png): Iron Head 2HKOs after Rocks, OHKOs after Defiant boost or Swords Dance. Umbreon's Foul Play does only 71% at best in the latter case. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/036.png): Magic Guard variants laugh at Toxic, uses Umbreon as set-up fodder for Calm Mind. Best Umbreon can do in return is an 11HKO with Foul Play and Knock Off. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/530.png): Foul Play can OHKO after a Swords Dance boost, but Excadrill also outspeeds and OHKOs you before you can do anything. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/445.png): Outspeeds and 2HKOs with Outrage. Life Orb variants can also 2HKO with Earthquake, Swords Dance outspeeds and OHKOs you with Rocks up. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/658.png): Umbreon can actually do something here. Best option it has is 3-4HKO with Life Orb Hydro Pump. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/130-m.png): Sets up Dragon Dance while it laughs at Foul Play and 2HKOs with +1 Waterfall. Foul Play is only 3HKO at +1. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/647.png): Specs Secret Sword = GG (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/127-m.png): Sets up Swords Dance as you switch Umbreon in and OHKOs with Return/Close Combat. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/212-m.png): Combination of Bullet Punch and U-Turn 2HKOs. Can also outstall your Foul Plays with Roost. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/663.png): Banded Brave Bird outspeeds and 2HKOs. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/248.png): Band sets 2HKO with Stone Edge, Scarf sets 3HKO, both are 4HKOed back by Foul Play. Support sets set up Rocks and 3HKO with Stone Edge and Sandstorm damage, while Foul Play only 7HKOs. Moonlight is only healing 25% in sandstorm, and Wish+Protect can be played around. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/248-m.png): Sets up DD, 2HKOs with +1 Stone Edge. Foul Play is only a 4HKO. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/003-m.png): Immune to Toxic, laughs at Knock Off, Foul Play only 5HKO at best against offensive sets. Meanwhile, it puts you to sleep or sets up Leech Seed. Total Matchups: 1/14
A Rank: (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/006-my.png): Fire Blast and Focus Blast both 2HKO. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/149.png): Outrage outspeeds and OHKOs after a Dragon Dance, Foul Play can't OHKO back as long as Multiscale is up. Choice Band sets also OHKO. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/598.png): Sets up Rocks, Spikes, and/or Leech Seed. Umbreon can't do much back unless it runs Taunt, but then you run into 4 Moveslot Syndrome. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/094.png): Wisp variants burn you, turning Foul Play into a 3HKO. If it runs Disable, you're forced to use non-attacking moves otherwise you win. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/472.png): Subtoxic sets stall you to death, Specially Defensive variants Taunt you and force you to use Foul Play as they Roost, Earthquake, and repeat as necessary. Made even more difficult for Umbreon by the fact that both sets commonly run Toxic. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/485.png): Outspeeds and uses Taunt. Can also use Toxic to cripple you. Foul Play is a 5/6HKO, while Lava Plume is a possible 4HKO with Toxic. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/450.png): Earthquake 3HKOs, Foul Play is a 7HKO at best. Can also set up Rocks, cripple you with Toxic, or Whirlwind you away. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/645-s.png): Defensive sets Knock off your Leftovers, set up Rocks then U-turn to the appropriate counter, or outspeed and 3HKO you with Earthquake while Foul Play is a 3HKO itself. Scarf Sets 2HKO you with Earthquake. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/630.png): Shuts you down with Taunt or cripples you with Toxic. Can also Knock Off your leftovers and outlast you with Roost. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/380.png): 2HKOed by Foul Play. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/381.png): Same as Latias. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/479w.png): Foul Play is a possible 5HKO, can't do much otherwise except Volt Switch to an appropriate counter or Pain Split. (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/639.png): GG Total Matchups: 4/13
Grand Total: 5/31
As you can see, Umbreon can't handle a lot of the top threats, securing its position at C-.
Regular Salamence is currently sitting in BL with a C- rank in the OU meta
But since you're throwing UU into the discussion, Umbreon currently ranks at B in the UU meta.

Well. When you put it that way, I sound stupid. As it is, I mainly use Umbreon as my cleric and wishpasser because it can do both, I like it, and I run mixed defenses because I don't like dedicating two slots to two different walls. I know it isn't very effective, but on Smogon, my team usually ends up as such: Scarfer, Mixed Wall, Hazards, Special Attacker, Physical Attacker, Rotom-W or something that can spin/defog and can fill a role. Not the best team building pattern, but it works for me

Oh baybee, the bird spam just got stronger. HOLY SHIT, NO. I like MegaMence design. Sacrificing a couple of legs for some stronger wings?? HELL YES.! The only thing that bugs me if that they gave it a rayquaza head... but it is really nice overall IMO. Salamence became the most threatening combat air plane.
Mega Altaria looks adorable and Mega Lopunny looks really nice. Actually that reminded me that lopunny existed, lol.

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. This image furthers yesterdays and showcases more about Pokémon Contests. It shows the in-game images of the Contest Hall, details how Feebas’s evolution is based on contests, and confirms that you can Mega Evolve during the contests, which boosts the Excite Meter & Appeal in the Contests, but can only be done when the Excite Meter is full.

The pedo's a massive douche. He even had another incident with Pokebeach just a few days ago.

Cosplay Pikachu is confirmed to be separate to normal Pikachu and is the only one that can be dressed up. Contest Spectacular has also got a brand new feature where you can use the 3DS's camera to implant yourself into the Pokémon Contest stage. Like before, you can gain various fans as your contest successes mount, and these fans can give you various items such as berries and more. Also, this confirms that the creation of PokéBlocks to improve your contest stat makes a return.

Audino is viable in VGC '14 metagame. Can serve greatly as support and capable of taking hits.
I'm guessing MegaBro and Mega Audino were supposed to be shown at this week's Pokemon Worlds. MegaBro's looking to be a pain taking it down.

The symbols are present in English screens of the previously unvieled Megas, and Audino's name is unchanged in that screenshot from the base form's Korean spelling 다부니.
It could be a debug picture, idk whether they wanted to release those far in the future or not.

Mega Slowbro looks incredibly silly... and thats fitting for the case. Unless it gets some notorious special defense boost I would still use, slowbro with regenerator will be simply better. Or perhaps it becomes a bulky special attacker I dont know.
Mega Audino looks pretty nice to me but a better ability could have been nice. It definitely gotta be a staple in doubles though.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: Kirishima on August 13, 2014, 05:53:34 am
I dunno. Mega Audino may sound good but I'd rather have Mega Mawile/Abomasnow in deck with basic Audino providing support. Still needs a better ability.

Seeing Mega Camurupt's Speed go down while all stats go up, I'm wondering if this one's very viable in Trick Room teams. I can see Mega Sharpedo getting at least 2+ Speed via Speed Boost then Mega Evolve to sweep.
Heavin forbid if Groudon/Kyogre Prime are allowed in VGC '15.....

I'm of the school that XY will get an online patch rather than make them incompatible with each other. It just makes more sense to maintain compatibility instead of forcing people to abandon their games a year after they've been released.
Also hell yes Mega Sharpedo, for the reasons Kirishima mentioned.

Mega Sharpedo sincerely looks... lazy. They just enlarged the boy, added some details to make the jaw looks stronger (hence the new ability, which is cool) and thats it... meh, at least it sounds amazing. It looks like a mix of things that just dont work for me...
Mega Camerupt on the other hand... amazing, it literally turned into an erupting volcano!! Thats pretty neat... and it looks pretty adorable. Hello new, trick room abuser!
Mega Gallade looks pretty nice too but... are those wings on the back?? pretty nice looking overall.
Nice reveal!

Mega Gallade with split cape? Gallant hero anyone? As for Mega Camerupt, Sheer Force boosted Fire Blast/Earth Power/Ancient Power. And apparently it gets Flash Cannon somehow? Throw a trick room up and it looks like nothing will stop it save for something ridiculous like Sash Greninja

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. This continues on from yesterday’s information and reveals Primal Kyogre’s new move, Origin Wave. Rayquaza is also said to hold a secret to Mega Evolution. It also states about the demo version of the game. You will see a Mega Evolution for the first time in this demo, and you can then transfer it, as well as items you collect, over to the main games when they are released. It is also hinted that, if you play the demo every day, something special will happen. Mega Gallade details confirmed. It is Psychic/Fighting-type still, and has the ability Inner Focus.
What's the problem with Inner Focus? I don't get it.
It prevents it from flinching. It's not a bad ability, per se, but when you look at all the other Mega Evolution's abilities, it really pales in comparison, given that regular Gallade can have either Steadfast or Justified.

Its almost complete garbage in Singles, and the only real notable user of Fake Out is Mega Medicham. Doubles is a different story though.
But yeah, Mega Gallade would have preferred something like Tough Claws or Sheer Force or... hell, anything that isn't Inner Focus (or Truant, Slow Start, or Defeatist).

Well Wally gets a Gallade thats nice But This was the not ability I wanted Gallade to be Dragon/Fighting Type... Inner Focus is nice but seriously his counterpart can easily own him. Camerupt & Sharkpedo got decent ME and Great abilities Though I dont really like the designs They only thing About the Mascots is that their they have original abilities only powered up than their base form doubt How this will effect the grass type and Water Type etc. Cliff's Blade Now I am looking forward for that move

I wouldn't think that. I mean because this bit:

The new weathers are permanent but fade when the Pokémon is switched out
I'm interpreting it as the weather being out only if the Pokemon is out, and that switching out stops it. So if anything, it would be like a free Splash Plate boost. That's just my guess though.
Also Primal Groudon's Fire/Ground typing combined with that ability means that it's pretty much only weak to... Ground? IIRC my type matchups correctly.

Assuming no Mold Breaker Aqua Tail or anything silly, yeah, it only has a Ground weakness, as well as gaining 4 additional resists in exchange for losing Rock resist. Not a bad deal, especially when its no longer OHKOed by Geomancy Xerneas (and this is with regular Groudon's base stats, so the actual damages will be lower):

This shit is utterly ridiculous. The good thing is that the weather effects disappear when they switch out but PERMANENTLY keeping the weather as long as they are around is absolutely insane(The Water and Fire attacks having no effect doesn't really matter AS MUCH, especially in Kyogre's case, why the hell bother since Fire is ineffective against Water to begin with) meaning they pretty much have a massive STAB AND Defense bonus only with just their natural abilities. And their new attacks is terrifying in group combat...it just makes me wonder, why in the land of hell is Gamefreak going crazy over Team battles(in which Primordial Sea and Desolate Land will end up dominating EVERYTHING and make pure Pokemon classes even more vaunted)

Not really sure how that defeats his point...if anything, Wonder Guard Shedinja actually thrives MORE with Primal Kyogre due to Fire(one of it's major weaknesses) doesn't work anymore because of the effect.
But anyways, how does Sturdy Shedinja defeat Primal Kyogre or Groudon since my Competitive stuff has degenerated for quite some time.

Post by: Kirishima on September 13, 2014, 03:45:55 am
Shedinja itself solos Primal Kyogre unless it's silly enough for Hidden Power Fire.
Sturdy prevents it from getting killed in one hit as long as it has full HP. With only 1HP, Shedinja is invincible. Triple battles the teammates can change it's typing via Soak, Paralyze it so it doesn't get Poison or Burn, Safety Goggles to null weather damage. Set up takes time, but works when at full set.

I knew about Sturdy, I just never knew about the insanity of it actually working for Shedinja like that.
Yeah, but I can see it defeating Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon is the bigger issue since it actually has Rock attacks it can use as well since Rock is super effective against Bug right?

Primal Groudon can use Fire attacks so Rock is unneeded. Since it's now Fire/Ground it'll be a standard to carry both type attacks.

It's a Mega Evolution, not an Ancient Devolution. I highly doubt Dragon Ascent will surpass Sky Attack's base power, so 300 is out of the question; it's said to be one of the strongest Flying-type moves, not the strongest.

1. "Dragon Ascent" is Flying(not even a dual type attack)...okay Gamefreak...
2. That's...pretty lame compared to Desolate Land and Primordial Sea. You think he would get something similar to Flying types so there's SOME level of coverage...BUT seeing as how it actually knocks them down a level, does that mean Rayquaza will only suffer 2x weakness to Ice attacks or instantly get normal because of the ability itself?

At least Dragon Ascent being a flying type move is functionally preferable. It's a good STAB option against Xerneas if you have no choice and is super effective against Mewtwo X.
His mega ability is actually great. He softens his horrendous weakness to one of the most common coverage moves in Ubers while also blocking any weather effects on those which switch in on it.

Really I don't care either way. The mandibles look cool, but I wish they would've done something more with Rayquaza's mouth than just have it be blank space. Like, seriously. Something? Anything? I mean I have both set on preorder anyways, so it doesn't really matter too much. Just, still. Bleh. And Dragon Ascent. Interesting to say the least. Like, why not give a flying type Roar of Time without the drawback? I've just never really understood the point of giving something overpowered another overpowered special move that only it can learn. Like, Rayquaza-M spells the end for wall Grasseus because Dragon Ascent more than likely will be an OHKO, but I don't really feel this is how Nintendo should go about doing things. Especially since it'll only be weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy, it feels like Rayquaza-M may be a mark on the meta that can't really be undone

Some wise man once said Gamefreak didnt care about balance... especially in singles. I believe he was right, lets give the balance issues to someone else, lol.
I feel the mandibles on Rayquaza-M are everything in needed honestly so its design doesnt fall into an overdesigned aspect IMO

Post by: Shadow0X3 on October 07, 2014, 02:48:54 am
Honestly, I like the mandibles. They look good. The pattern from it's body detaching and turning into wind chains, meh. I can deal. But the jaw. The empty jaw. Surely they could've done SOMETHING with that. I just don't like how it goes from a mouth to a slab of black emptiness. As for balance, Mega Lucario, Mega Kangaskhan, and Aegislash all laugh at you. I just wish that if Game Freak hated singles so much, that they would bring back something like Colosseum or Gale of Darkness and just put doubles back into single player, and give me incentive to care about it. I play the story, it's almost exclusively singles, and then everything official is all doubles. Please, consistency, please.
EDIT: Looking back at the footage a few times, it looks like the mandibles close off somewhere because Rayquaza is shown to have a mouth in the beginning portion of the animation for Dragon Ascent. But I can't quite figure out how it all works. In any case, yay some form of mouth so my OCD doesn't flip shit

Mega Pidgeot is Normal/Flying-type with the ability No Guard and Mega Beedrill is Bug/Poison-type with the ability Adaptability. You can fly on Mega Latios & Latias in the overworld and find Pokémon such as Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga & Palkia in the sky. Latios is exclusive to Omega Ruby and Latias is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. Edit 00: The Eon Ticket is said to return through a special distribution. This makes Latias available in Omega Ruby and Latios available in Alpha Sapphire. | Edit 15: This ticket will be distributed via Serial Code in an upcoming issue Edit 04: The Legendary Pokémon are found on islands that can only be found through areas on the sky and is said to make it so all non-event Legendary Pokémon will be obtainable in Generation VI. You access the sky through the Eon Flute item Edit 14: You can also encounter various other Pokémon in the wild within the clouds over Hoenn.

Two more images have surfaced. One showcasing the first Mega Rayquaza, showcasing all the information we got on it last week. The second introduces the new PokéNav called the MultiNavi. It has four settings: MapNavi, TVNavi, PlayNavi which includes features like Pokémon Amie and the GTS and DexNavi which helps you find Pokémon in the wild and register them in your Pokédex. You can sneak up on Pokémon, or you can register Pokémon that you encounter in the overworld into your Pokédex. We'll bring more as it comes In addition to that, it confirms what many speculated that Mega Rayquaza will feature in the Pokémon Mega Evolution ~Act 2~ Special airing November 6th. This special will also feature Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre.

Mega Rayquaza used Dragon Ascent! Foe's X & Y cart exploded.
EDIT: Thanks to the folks at Smogon dissecting the ORAS demo, we now know the base stats for four of the new Mega Evos: (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/oras-mega-speculation-thread.3519695/)
Mega Sceptile and Mega Swampert's base stats look sexy as fuck. Mega Swampert confirmed as new Rain sweeper.
Mega Steelix strikes me as meh. Base 95 SpDef is nice, but it just seems like an inferior Mega Aggron that needs sand support to be effective, just like Mega Garchomp, and we all know how that Mega turned out.
Mega Glalie is just mediocre, though...
EDIT: At least Mega Glalie can do this:

252+ Atk Refrigerate Mega Glalie Explosion vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 276-325 (82.6 - 97.3%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Has nobody noticed Gunk Shot and Ice Punch Greninja? I've always loved physical Greninja and a better physical Greninja means possibly more usable variations in the meta. Also, shiny primal reversions are straight black and looks AMAZING. Much hype
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The Fisher King on October 23, 2014, 12:24:06 am
Physical greninja is pretty underwhelming cause of how weak are the physical attacks that it learns. Ice Punch doesnt particularly cause there is Ice Beam and gunk shot is the most powerful physical attack in its arsenal (usable at least) and it doesnt have plenty of coverage.
Too each its own. Drain Punch slurpuff though, rip probopass.

Post by: Alpaca-San on October 24, 2014, 02:10:12 am
I would be so upset if Greninja got banned over one move. Like, Greninja would hardly even be usable in ubers so it would stick one of the funnest pokemon to screw around with in a bizarre limbo of un-usability. The same one poor Mega Mawile is festering in.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: The Fisher King on October 24, 2014, 02:17:30 am
Mega Mawile isnt in an unused limbo. After testing it a bit in the rough ubers environment gotta say it really pull through as a pretty decent Xerneas check and with some specially defensive investment it can beat a lot of things, particularly ho-oh checks except Landorus-T. Greninja however may need a Uber BL or something cause I dont see much for it in ubers at all as well.
Banning greninja for a move, I agree that would be pretty dumb in perspective.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire [3DS]
Post by: Ricepigeon on October 24, 2014, 03:38:56 pm
At least Mega Mawile is still consistently OU in Doubles, so it has that going for it.
Also, Xerneas typically runs HP Fire for steels

Post by: Shadow0X3 on November 14, 2014, 04:48:59 am
If they are then I question GameFreak. I see no real point in it, especially if the Regis actually are obtained via mirage spots, because the Regis had their own little puzzle in the originals, and in the event that this is no longer the case, I would hope that mirage spot Pokémon aren't actually shiny locked. Doesn't bother me too much though, the only shiny legendaries I care for are the Johto dogs, Rayquaza, Cresselia, Dialga, and Shaymin. Most legendaries I prefer to not be shiny, because I like the way they look normally.
Also, if I may. Notice how X and Y had Kanto legendaries, and ORAS have legendaries from every other generation? Kind of leads to the assumption that either Pokémon Z, or seventh gen has to be next, because making a remake just after releasing the legends of that generation makes little sense. However, in the event that there is going to be a remake, please oh please for the love of Arceus give me a Kanto or Sinnoh remake for the 3DS

The thing is that Ice Punch Blaziken wasn't in the demo datamine which means that 1) It's a new level up move (level up moves of Blaziken, Marshtomp, Sceptile and Glalie/Steelix wasn't in the demo, presumably to prevent grinding spoilers) 2) It's a Move Tutor move (which had Dark Pulse as both a Tutor move and a TM)
And if it's 2, it means that all of the data wasn't in the demo (which is kinda obvious because most of the soundtrack isn't in it) which mean that there might be more stuff that wasn't in the demo data (e.g the Mirage Spot location data wasn't in the demo)

The current belief is that the Move Tutor stuff is incomplete (mostly because of the Dark Pulse thing)
There was map data for a Battle Resort in the datamine. And there was 2 (?) Songs labled BFRONTIER something something

Rayquaza also got a catch rate buff from 3 to 45, so its alot easier to catch now...
*remnisces of the days of when you wanted to catch a legendary you had to actually earn them*
On the plus side, at least Deoxys can be caught in-game and is no longer event exclusive.

IIRC it sometimes works because button presses affect the RNG that's tied into everything, including whether or not you catch a Pokemon. You might want to get that verified by someone who actually knows what they're talking about, though.

EDIT: Smogon just posted an announcement that they are considering a quickban on Mega Salamence from OU. The announcement is as follows:
Quote
After much anticipation, ORAS is finally here! A few questions are on everybody's mind: what megas will reign supreme? what will the metagame be like? more importantly...what's the status on Mega Salamence?
It's been immediately evident to anyone who's played the ORAS OU ladder that Mega Salamence is incredibly centralizing and difficult to play around. The boosted Defense makes it hard to revenge kill with the most common priorities. The 120 base Speed means that it's able to outspeed many wanna be revenge killers (Lati@s, Thundurus, Keldeo, Starmie etc) even whitout a dragon dance under its belt. On the top of that, M-Salamence gets an Attack boost and Aerialite, which makes its Return/Double Edge hit stupidly hard even when unboosted.
Many top players from both Tournaments and Pokémon Showdown consider Mega Salemence's presence detrimental to the correct development of the ORAS metagame and have been asking us to take quick and drastic measures against it. The OU Council is currently considering quick banning Mega Salamence to Ubers. However we're not totally opposed to suspect testing it.
If the quickban goes through, this means that Mega Salamence will be banned from OU immediately, without the usual suspect tests that are usually done when determining if a Pokemon should be banned. Quickbans are reserved for Pokemon that are unquestionably broken and detrimental, as we saw with Mega Kangashan in X&Y.

When you go to the middle of the Island Cave with all these conditions met, Regigigas will attack. If you don't have all them met you'll have a notification but nothing will happen. Regigigas then attacks at Level 50

I was wondering how I managed to get an Eon Ticket. Apparently some South East Asian games distributor was giving Eon Ticket codes on Facebook. It ended now though and was inaccessible to anyone outside SEA anyway.
I streetpassed someone who managed to get one. Extremely lucky.
Anyways Eon Ticket distribution locations and date for Australia.
After a month of testing, taking into account both our personal experience as players and the community input from this thread, the OU Council has unanimously decided that Mega Salamence should be immediately placed in Ubers.
The ORAS OU ladder and, starting from last week, the Standard OU ladder on Pokémon Showdown have led us to believe that Mega Salamence is simply too much for the OU tier and that its presence is actually hindering the development of the ORAS metagame.
Mega Salamence's unhealthy presence in the metagame can be summed up in 3 points:
1) Incredible physical bulk By sheer stats, Mega Salamence is one of the sturdiest offensive Pokémon in the game. 95 / 130 / 90 defenses are exceptional for a sweeper and give Mega Salamence the possiblity to set up with impunity on a plethora of defensive and offensive Pokémon. Combine this with Intimidate and the fact that people often opt to invest in a lot of bulk (as Salamence does not need significant Attack investment to sweep against offense at +1) and it becomes immediately clear that both killing M-Salamence on the turn it comes in and revenge killing it after it has fainted an opposing Pokémon is no easy feat. In fact, Mega Salamence's physical defense is comparable to that of Skarmory.
Quote
252 Atk Terrakion Stone Edge vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 260-308 (78.3 - 92.7%) 252 Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 270-328 (81.3 - 98.7%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 187-222 (56.3 - 66.8%) 252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 192-229 (57.8 - 68.9%) -1 252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 210-248 (63.2 - 74.6%) 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Ice Shard vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 265-312 (79.8 - 93.9%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 118-139 (35.5 - 41.8%)
As the above damage calculations prove, taking down M-Salamence is incredibly hard, even if it opts to not invest in bulk at all.
2) Stupidly powerful offensive presence Mega Salamence receives a significant boost in both its offensive stats and Speed. With 145 / 120 offenses combined with Aerilate, 120 base Speed and an extremely large movepool, Mega Salamence is one of the most unpredictable and hard hitting sweepers in the game. No Pokémon outside of Eviolite Porygon-2 can safely switch into Mega Salamence. A few damage calculations will show how easy it is for Mega Salamence to sweep/wallbreak against the vast majority of the OU metagame:
Quote
252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 88+ Def Ferrothorn: 159-187 (45.1 - 53.1%) 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 283-334 (71.1 - 83.9%) 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 248 HP / 116 Def Mega Scizor: 160-190 (46.6 - 55.3%) 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 237-279 (58.6 - 69%) 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard X: 214-253 (72 - 85.1%) 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Gyarados: 219-258 (66.1 - 77.9%) 252 Atk Salamence Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 218-258 (54 - 64%) 4 SpA Salamence Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 248-292 (74.2 - 87.4%) +1 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Hippowdon: 306-360 (72.8 - 85.7%) +1 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 244 HP / 28+ Def Gliscor: 259-306 (73.5 - 86.9%) +1 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 237-279 (79.2 - 93.3%) -1 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Landorus-T: 157-186 (41 - 48.6%)
While its most common set (Substitute / Roost / Dragon Dance / Return) can be walled by Skarmory, Heatran, Zapdos and defensive Rotom-W (assuming it has Hidden Power Ice), all of the aforementioned Pokémon can be defeated with the appropriate move. For instance, Mega Salamence can use Fire Blast for Skarmory, Earthquake for Heatran and Outrage/Draco Meteor for Rotom. On top of that, Mega Salamence can run many other sets such as: Sub Dragon Dance 2 attacks, Roost 3 attacks, Dragon Dance 3 attacks, Dragon Dance Roost 2 attacks, Dragon Dance Refresh, fully Special, and so on, which are all viable. While they are not equally as effective as the most common set, this means that there is no surefire counter to Mega Salamence. While the same can be said for other offensive OU powerhouses, none of them have the same combination of offensive presence, staying power and Speed as Mega Salamence. In the end, it's safe to say that Mega Salamence’s presence in the Overused tier simply overshadows the worth of using other Megas.
3) Centralization and negative effects on team building For the reasons listed in the above two paragraphs, every team has to overprepare to "counter" Mega Salamence. The amount of teams that run obscure and niche counters/revenge killers on the ladder is impressive. People are forced to run defensive Porygon-2, HP Ice Rotom-W, defensive Zapdos and Cresselia in order to deal with the threat that Mega Salamence represents. On top of that, none of these Pokémon are exactly viable on offensive teams, meaning that said teams are either forced to run gimmicks such as Choice Scarf Greninja in order to revenge kill Mega Salamence or to completely twist their structure and sacrifice a Pokémon slot to carry a dedicated answer to it.
While we aren't directly using the 4th Generation suspect characteristics anymore in order to address bans, they still provide a reliable framework to assess the situation. By looking at the Offensive Characteristic:
Quote
A Pokémon is uber if, in common battle conditions, it is capable of sweeping through a significant portion of teams in the metagame with little effort.
it's easy to notice how Mega Salamence perfectly fits this definition. Nonetheless, Mega Salamence also falls under the Support Characteristic:
Quote
A Pokémon is uber if, in common battle conditions, it can consistently set up a situation in which it makes it substantially easier for other pokemon to sweep.
Considering that it can easily eliminate or severely weaken common defensive cores, this makes it easy for other Pokémon (such as Talonflame) to sweep even teams that are prepared to handle the so called "bird spam" strategies.
For all the reasons listed above, the OU Council has decided to place Mega Salamence in Ubers with immediate effect.
Now onto the Greninja suspect test...

Ffs, it's impossible to get proper pokemon from the GTS. I'm trying to get a Clauncher and I'm trading Skrelp for it (basically trading an exclusive for another), and after a day I still haven't got it. And when I check online the only thing I find is people asking for Diancies, Mew and other legendary crap for just a Clauncher. And in theory it's impossible to get event pokemon like Diancie using GTS, which is a pity because I missed the event (or rather my GAMES shop only gave that Shiny Gengar, which kinda annoys me).

So far all the exclusives I sent over Wonder Trade have turned into Pokemon that you can catch easily, like Zubat or similar.

More hype for Reckless Emboar, tbh. When will we ever get a GOOD user of Contrary?

Well, we got a mini Mega Slowbro for lower tiers! (Mega Slowbro is gey though)
(http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/suicune.jpg)
EDIT: speaking of lower tiers, I forgot to announce this here but Mega Gallade from banned from UU, Mega Lopunny got banned from RU and UU, and Mega Houndoom got banned from RU:
Mega Houndoom is a very fearsome threat in the RU tier. The most common set is Nasty Plot, Fire Blast, Dark Pulse, and Flame Charge. With this set alone, Mega Houndoom is able to destroy nearly the entire tier on its own. Nasty Plot gives Mega Houndoom the ability to break through bulky teams while Flame Charge ensures that offensive teams won't have an easy time revenge killing it. On the subject of revenge killing Mega Houndoom, this can even be diificult to do without it using Flame Charge thanks to decent bulk and a solid set of resistances. Even Life Orb Hitmonlee can't OHKO with Mach Punch after Stealth Rock, meaning you'll generally need something that naturally outspeeds Mega Houndoom and hits it for super effective damage. That list is severely limited to Dugtrio, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Sceptile. Of common Choice Scarf users, Meloetta is the only one that can run a super effective move against Mega Houndoom, but not only does it rarely run Focus Blast, but it also is very shaky against Mega Houndoom regardless. While Flame Charge is the best move in the last slot, Mega Houndoom can choose to run Substitute, Destiny Bond, or even Sucker Punch in the last slot if needed. Perhaps the only downside to Mega Houndoom is that it's weak to Stealth Rock, but this doesn't come close to making up for all of the ridiculously good qualities it has. Because of this, the council has decided to quickban Houndoominite to BL2, thus effectively removing Mega Houndoom from RU. Of course, this only affects Mega Houndoom. Regular Houndoom is still perfectly legal in RU.
Lopunny has gone under the radar for quite a while since ORAS was released, but after the recent batch of bans it has become apparent just how much of a threat Lopunny is. With base 136 Atk and 135 Speed, an unresisted STAB combination thanks to Scrappy, as well as a myriad of support options it can run, Lopunny is a nightmare for offensive teams to handle. Normal/Fighting Stab is a very good combination when you take Scrappy into account, as most Pokemon that resist one generally fall to the other. Thus, Lopunny can be very hard to switch into, outside of using dedicated physical walls. Due to only needing Return/Frustration and High Jump Kick to wreck most of the meta, Lopunny also has the option of running various support moves such as Encore, Healing Wish, and Magic Coat to further its versatility and turn would-be defensive counters into a liability, which can be best seen by its SubEncore set.

Quote
Mega Gallade was banned due to its massive 165 Attack in comination with its 110 Speed, as well as respectable bulk. Between Close Combat and Zen Headbutt, Mega Gallade is able to 2HKO almost everything in the tier. The Swords Dance set specifically is able to practically render stall unusable. Mega Gallade also puts immense pressure on balanced play styles which would usually have to sacrifice a pokemon or two in order to force it out. Even offensive playstyles struggle against it, as many of the tier's top scarfers are unable to break through Mega Gallade's bulk. Even faster pokemon like Alakazam and Mega Beedrill have to watch out for a boosted Shadow Sneak. Even in its worst matchups, Mega Gallade is still able to consistently tear through teams with little trouble. It performs its role way too well, and is generally too hard for teams to stop.

So guys, right now I have a Mawile prepared to be the one in my team to Mega Evolve. I already have Nature, EVs and moves prepared for it, but I don't know which Ability is best for it.
Yeah, I know, Ability is kinda pointless with Mawile since it's supposed to Mega Evolve as soon as it can for Huge Power, but the problem is that the first turn is important for what I've experienced. Intimidation is a good -1 Atk that does make a difference for some opponents, but I've also seen some that can inflict me with -1 or -2 Atk to Mawile when I start or switch to Mawile if I don't start first turn with it, and Hyper Cutter assures me it will start with no minus on attack when it Mega Evolves, which is something good too since it relies on Atk. Which one do you recommend me to go for in the end?
Btw, I go for singles only, since I know that's a good point to mention.

Intimidation is still the way to go. You need that slight defense gain during Mega Evolving against physical users with moves that can't damage it well. Works for all formats.

Or the long awaited sequel to Pokemon Pinball 6th Gen edition.

Watch it be another horse racing game
Or Harmoknight 2. That would be pretty neat.

Man even though I've been taking this slow my mind is just like.....hurry the hell up cutscenes. Let me beat this game so I can breed again. I don't know why I'm so eager to get back to the grind. Breeding is so damn boring but I guess it's because I'm super eager to start battling again. Either way I'm more or less enjoying myself though I wish I could find the pokeball shop so these legends would be easier to catch. So tired of spending 20 ultra balls on a legendary that's paralyzed with like 10 HP. Get caught already damn it!

Okay, then guess I'm not changing its ability then. Thanks for the advice.
Also, about the Pokemon game yet to be announced, maybe they're planning to put Pokemon Amie in a game but greatly expanded. Just to give you another possibility.
