Since it is a very versatile Mega, you can pair both Offensive threats or defensive backbones for the like of your team. The only factor that can help this mon getting momentum is the use of status moves like Sleep Powder or Leech Seed, which with the right timing can force switches or gain some vital momentum. If you're wondering why this thing isn't really common at all, it's probably because it is quite passive: the huge absence of speed, in this crazy fast meta, makes Venusaur a 'dead slot' in some matchups: with all the volt-turn spams right now, in the worst cases scenario the opponents will keep turning on it, without letting Venusaur recover from all the damage. Even with the lack of investiments in any defense, with a simple spread of 248HP it can easily take 3 hits from a Blade-Form Quiet Aegislash Shadow Ball. Type Pokèmon, Venusaur can be a great answer to overused (and overpowered) new and old discoveries like Aegislash, Tapu Koko, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Kartana, Xurkitree, Pheromosa and Genesect. and is actually stronger than Waterfall.Īlso, my favourite theory is that you will be able to obtain the other Mega Stones through Pokemon Global Link when it goes live in a few months. Mega Sharpedo is actually really great, Psychic Fangs is prefect coverage for Keldeo, Venusaur, Toxapex, etc. And if an opposing Charizard X predicts your Protect and Dragon Dances, you will still be able to outspeed on the next turn. Mega Sharpedo benefits from the mega speed mechanics because it lets it protect up against stuff like Scarf Genesect, Scarf Lele, Scarf Hydreigon, etc. You were never able to do that? If you're not Mega at the end of the turn you get a speed boost, simple as that, I don't think that changed at all. No one's mentioned Banette yet but it could possibly make waves as soon as it comes out, even with the nerf to Prankster in general, at least it can use it on the turn it goes Mega unlike Sableye. Mega Metagross seems really good too, Steel is a good type what with all the influx of Fairy types. The extra moveslot is really helpful, makes it much harder to wall, and lets it run stuff like the buffed Fell stinger which I can't wait to try.

It will become the premier momentum buggo once Pheromoshit and Genesect are gone.
Speaking of Beedrill its one of the main winners of the changed mega speed mechanics and looks like a solid ou threat. With that said, which Mega Evolutions do you think are the best in Sun and Moon so far? Discuss different Mega Pokemon, cores, and sets you've been using on the ladder below.įor one, Beedrill isn't listed in the OP, please fix.

This has some pretty big implications for certain Mega Evolutions however, many of the Pokemon who benefit from this change the most (Lopunny, Beedrill, Diancie) aren't actually available in-game. That means Mega Sableye won't have access to priority status moves on the turn that it Mega Evolves, and other Pokemon will automatically gain their Speed tiers the same turn that they Mega Evolve. However, in Sun and Moon, Pokemon Mega Evolve before the turn order is determined. This meant Pokemon like Sableye could still have their status moves go first with Prankster, yet maintain Magic Bounce for the turn that they Mega Evolve. Before, Speed (and therefore turn order) was determined before Pokemon Mega Evolved. The other big change we saw this Generation was how turn order is decided in relation to Mega Evolution. Abomasnow, Aggron, Altaria, Ampharos, Banette, Blaziken, Camerupt, Diancie, Gallade, Gardevoir, Latias, Latios, Lopunny, Manectric, Sceptile, Swampert, Tyranitar
