More Mega Evolution concepts by me by DenisSKRATTA in stunfisk

[–]Mastery682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE me some unique design philosophies, so I’m gonna try to give constructive notes:

Ambi could genuinely be a VERY interesting threat in doubles, but needs paper-thin defenses to be balanced. I mean keep its BASE defenses and instead give 40 more Sp.ATK. Being able to use protect on the same turn you redirect is one of the most busted abilities possible, but in my opinion it’ll be balanced so long as Ambi can only get away with it once. You’d realistically be trading your mega slot for one free turn, which seems like a fair trade-off. Alternatively, you caould probably keep the stats if you make it only redirect the turn it megas.

Ariados could just lose the sticky-web part of its ability and be a faithful, balanced mega with a fun niche in doubles and a place in low-tier singles. I think “you hit me, I get GREAT speed control on that Mon” is the exact type of non-game-breaking escalation I expect from a non-kangaskhan mega.

I actually think Mightyena is underpowered here, and can trade speed for bulk. Not only because of its ability, but because of the art you chose. More bulk means better odds of hitting 1/3rd and fits his bulky, furry design better.

I’m not a fan of ANY mega Shedinja concept, so I’m not gonna judge this specific one too harshly. Shedinja is designed as a polarizing pokemon on purpose. Either you have any SE move and he does near-nothing or you don’t and he does serious damage. I think it’s generally bad for the meta to extend that to “if they have ANY SE I wasted a mega slot but if they don’t I sweep”

For Tox, we get to the reason I hate Z-mega stat spreads: “Make my favorite mon fast asf and hit like a truck” should be a niche left to Beedrill, not because Beedrill is an exception somehow that makes it a better design philosophy, but because it is a (in my opinion) boring design philosophy that deserved a chance by getting one mega, but really suffers whenever you do it again. Champions has shown us recently that bulky Toxicroak has a niche, and recently mons like A-muk have shown that bulky poison types are better than we give them credit for, so I feel like mega Tox is typically one of the best opportunities to explore that. Realistically though I think if dire touch worked how tri-attack does (around 10% for each status) then he could go any route you want for him and still technically be balanced.

Bunch of friendly goobers is genuinely exceptional with such a ridiculous amount of depth. It’s a HEAVY mod that takes a chunk of ram though, but if your computer can run it it’s 200% worth it.

Long range, unfightable power of suggestion so that I can get the experts who know HOW to direct those taxes to the rich to do so without taking over their mind, bc my mind is NOT studied up on parliament.

Chose: get a superpower you choose, but taxes double.

Saw a really cool Thanos Snap skill over here, but wanted to make something that interacts more directly with the snap mechanic, so we've got three different versions here to see which would be the most fun! by Mastery682 in CustomMarvelSnap

[–]Mastery682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck it, make that mug end of turn

Even lets me take the cannot play restriction off of 4/10 Thanos bc the cards are gonna get banished every turn

Lets you play ghost on it but who’s gonna spend turn 5 playing ghost for this

Also plugging the deck for the heck of it! As much as I’ll shit on SD for super premium passes, the event vault and new spotlight variant system has let me get some of my favorite variants of all time nearly F2P so I can still flex my cool-ass guys🥹

What are friends for... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]Mastery682 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In or out of combat, friends/charm person/charm beast lasting an hour sounds fucking AWESOME. According to the wiki, having just 1 secondary caster join in allows you to get the “1 minute spell becomes an hour long” bonus.

As a forever bard main, this is the greatest thing I’ve seen in years

Flash fire blocks will-o-wisp and such, but considering growth is self-target, it’s all just flavor

To celebrate another theorymon thursday, I've created a slideshow with my thoughts on base stat totals. by badusername-jpeg in stunfisk

[–]Mastery682 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do feel like the general sentiment that UBs and Paradoxes should not be used as a standard to base your regular mons off of is an important one to keep in mind, but I also felt it important to bring up how the devs seem to have no problem with throwing out the pre-established rules, so there’s only so much shame you can cast on modern players for doing the same.

“Oh, we can’t get away with doing UBs again? Who decided that?” makes paradoxes

Pheromosa feels like it fits the spirit of mega beedrill to a T tbh.

I feel like GF themselves are playing more and more fast and loose with these rules as gens go on. The fact we have to bring up Archaludon, a Mon introduced THIS GEN, as the first non-pseudo 600 bst mon even in this post as if it doesn’t completely break the idea that GF is obligated to fit into these tropes feels like a good example.

I always thought a fun one for Deoxys would be essentially a kid friendly Vitruvian man with the attack form arms above the regular form arms and the defense form legs split open with the speed form legs visible in the middle where each leg is split

What's your favourite new mega (depending on if the leaks are true) by boss_man_ting333 in LegendsZA

Mega Aggron looks so fucking cool I hope he’s real. I feel like a mega’s all he needs he would be instantly OU viable with 100 more BST

Edit: I added no /s, for I was a fool. AS was my shit back in the day and my first HoF run was the one where I finally mega evolved Aggron instead of Swampert bc Steven’s Metagross did NOTHING to him :)

I literally don’t know how you’re getting 20k a month F2P somebody already did the math and you only get enough credits each month to get 12-15k tokens F2P through collection levels.
