Maelstrom Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 pretty sure you're limited to one mega evo per battle though. pretty sure i read that in the update before this one on serebii, so it would mean something tactically to have to choose.

Joker Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Get Tyranitar. Get other standard sand stuff. Get Mega Garchomp. Nuff said. Also, I already pre-ordered and paid off my copy of Y, otherwise I would gladly take you up on that offer, Mael. I'll probably just use my birthday money to buy X instead of GTA5 like I originally planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiant Aeon Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ok to be fair steels took a hard hit this gen along with Dark, Dragon, and Fighting. But still..Fairy is gonna destroy everything and the only two OU top level counters on the top of my head are Scizor and Tentacruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Gengar will destroy them all with Sludge Bomb STAB. Good bye, Fairies. Edit: damn your ninja skills, Ikaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Don't forget Nidoking, Toxicroak, and Mega Venusaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I feel like Scizor got a buff and a nerf at the same time this gen. The fact that he has less resistances now and the fact that his bullet punch messes up fairies. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Sciz is still resistant to dark and ghose, just less so... Watch Mega Sciz be next XD Also... is just me, or is Mega Garchomp not as intimidating as people are playing it off as... Mega Absol and Mega Mawhile are where it is at... Mega Luca is kinda scary too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noivy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Look at it this way, at least poison types have more use in the metagame now! Also that new Rock/Ice fossil looks and seems so cool. Pity it's typing though ><; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Why are we jumping to conclusions before we've even seen everything there is? We're far from the end, folks. Because Gengar is already a very powerful Pokemon and they're weak to a very strong move of his? I doubt there will be an army of fairy/steel types to counter his poison moves. Anything else thrown together with the fairy type would be neutral and still take big damage unless it's a tank. It's really obvious that Gengar is gonna be really strong this gen. He's already very good, and he just got even better. Since Fairy is making some of the best attacking types pretty useless, Ex: Dragon, Fighting. We would obviously have to use it's weaknesses against it to balance everything out. Poison types will be used more, it's just a given. Gengar is one of, if not the best poison type in the game as far as attacking goes. Scizor will also be used a lot more, if that's even possible. Not to mention that by the looks of that chart, steel doesn't resist ghost or dark anymore. Basically, it's not just jumping to conclusions as much as it is predicting what I think will happen. And I just think that poison will be used a whole lot more. Most notably Gengar because most people on Reborn battle in OU. Also, Wolf. That thing has Sand Force, and while it may not have a boost in stats(yet), that ability alone makes it stronger than regular Garchomp. It will probably still have access to Swords Dance and Dragon Dance... The intimidation is justified, at least. Needless to say, Mega Garchomp would eat both Mega Lucario and Mega Mawhile for breakfast and take a huge nap right next to Cynthia who tamed the evil beast. Can someone make fan art of that? Actually, there's something else I want to talk about. Swift Swim. We all know it as the "broken" ability that Smogon banned. However, I think there's a possibility that it will be allowed again. Obviously, this doesn't affect Reborn, and I don't want to start another "debate" on that. I just think the thought of it being allowed again in other places is possible. TL;DR I believe poison and steel will rise in popularity, and most likely be up there with common attacking types just for the sake of dealing with fairy. Pokemon like Gengar, Scizor, Lucario, etc will be used a lot more. Swift Swim could possibly be allowed by Smogon if shit gets too real, and Mega Garchomp is the new Grim Reaper.

Shushup Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I wanted more Mega Evolutions Kanto Starters, MegaMewtwo X, and Mega Garchomp wasn't enough >:C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Color Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well here is pretty much my team right here. Furry dawg, dragosaurus, froakie, fire lion, big badass panda, and bulbasaur. GG x/y GG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 ...Oh. That's the dragon that doesn't get that. Lmao. My bad. I don't think Chompey will be that bad. Even if Garchomp got a little boost, you can easily deal with it given you have a faster Pokemon or a Choice Scarf user with an ice move. And since Garchomp doesn't get DD(again, my bad. lol) there's nothing to worry about. Don't get me wrong... Garchomp will still be a huge threat, even more so now. But it's manageable and not Ubers material imo. But enough with all this competitive crap. Let's move on to something a little more fun. We all know of two confirmed legendaries thus far, and we all know each Pokemon game always has more than the poster child in terms of legendaries. Soooo, what cool types of lengendaries would you like to see? Personally, I'd like a Dark/Fairy type and a Fighting/Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Radiant Aeon Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 A legendary pokemon? Perhaps like a samurai ghost/fighting. The ultimate warrior looking for a worthy battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bl00dedge Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Personally, I would like to see a Dragon/Poison type. It would be the Dragon-type's way of saying, "F*** you fairies!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDarklight Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Honestly? The new Mewtwo Mega Evo only reinforces my theory that Mewtwo will have a big role in the X/Y anime. I mean, why show one and not the other? And if that one sentence about the Mega Blaziken in the anime and the female player in the anime is real, then the odds are that Ash has definitely grown into his early teens, and it's not just the art style changing. And factoring in how Mega Evolution works... Something tells me that Mewtwo is gonna become part of the main cast at some point for at least a short while. And yeah, I'm probably gonna pick a Froakie/Charmander combo if I ever get X. Also, I'd like to see a Steel/Fairy type. OH WAIT! In all seriousness, I'd like to see a Dragon/Fairy. Just because.
