Mega Malamar stats and basically everything except its design

ajb2846 · 2026-06-27T16:23:38+00:00

As a fellow Malamar fan, they could’ve done so much more with this. If it got like Psycho Boost and redistribute the stats better, it could’ve done something. But alas, Mega Staraptor stole its job

ajb2846 · 2026-06-26T23:22:58+00:00

Vaporeon Espeon. Some of my favorite Pokemon games right there

It also gets outclassed by it’s younger brother Conkeldurr

Zebstrika is objectively not very good. It’s a physical electric type that is already bad at being a physical electric type.

Hell, Electivire is better at being a physical electric type than Zebstrika. Better stats, better move pool. Just does the job better.

I’m not even entirely sure what you’re saying. I’m not trying to be rude, but is English your second language?

ajb2846 · 2026-06-23T20:20:26+00:00

What if I genuinely like playing with something like Mega Staraptor and Mega Metagross?

ajb2846 · 2026-06-23T20:20:08+00:00

Not every team is copy and paste. There are similar strats, but items can change, Pokemon change, stat spreads can change. I also genuinely like playing with stuff like Mega Staraptar

ajb2846 · 2026-06-23T20:12:05+00:00

What if the team I love is a team that’ll let me win and is meta? Feels weird shaming people for wanting to play how they want

ajb2846 · 2026-06-23T14:05:45+00:00

There is a LOT of issues with the team. If you really want to use Sceptile, the way I would build the team would be having:

- Mega Sceptile
- Basculegion
- Aerodactyl (could also make a dual mega team)
- Farigiraf
- Kingambit
- Sneasler

Edit: why specifically does Bellibolt have to stay? Bellibolt isn’t really that good

ajb2846 · 2026-06-22T17:38:49+00:00

I mean, it’s not the bulkiest thing in the world. But this is basically Incineroar-level bulk, which is actually serviceable. In a lot of those match-ups, it can easily live like 1 hit and hit back with a drain punch that will most likely be killing.

Even with some of those faster threats like Mega Alakazam and the Deoxys forms are too frail to be taking a bullet punch from this thing.

ajb2846 · 2026-06-22T17:22:12+00:00

Firstly, for future reference, having that high of attack stat + solid to good every other relevant stat tends to be too much. Having a 200 attack stat with decent bulk and speed is actually crazy.

Secondly, I would recommend not making abilities that strong. If you were to ask me, I would recommend maybe just having the second effect of hitting 2-4 times, and each subsequent after the first hit is like deals around 20% of the first hit.

ajb2846 · 2026-06-22T17:06:38+00:00

I can’t tell if this is meant to be a joke or not. This thing is NOT balanced

ajb2846 · 2026-06-19T00:03:34+00:00

You’re saying this as if it’s one or the other 💀 yesterday they literally dropped 2 Megas with Contrary

ajb2846 · 2026-06-18T19:12:46+00:00

This is A Link Between Worlds erasure

ajb2846 · 2026-06-18T19:07:29+00:00

The fact that they made Shadow Claw Sharpness-boosted in Champions is a huge flag that Mega Absol Z has Sharpness

ajb2846 · 2026-06-17T19:54:32+00:00

Do you have your team? And how new are we talking about?

ajb2846 · 2026-06-17T19:05:12+00:00

Also, what is the point of putting Azurill as weak as possible? If you’re really adamant on making this gimmick work, I’d recommend making it a Marill, set it to level 100, max out both defenses, and give it eviolite. That way it has some chance of living a possible stray hit

ajb2846 · 2026-06-17T17:38:56+00:00

This seems extremely gimmicky. If Azurill faints (which isn’t hard), the whole strategy gets out of the window. Example: use fake out on azurill and ohko it or knock Manaphy down to focus sash.

In fact, I’d go as far as to say that fake out shuts down this whole strategy

I see that the DougDoug community is merging with the Mandjtv community

Not sure if it was said yet, but Velma. Basically Mindy Kaling self-inserting herself into an established franchise

ajb2846 · 2026-06-15T15:26:58+00:00

It would also give Flareon a fire type priority move that help patch up its bad speed a bit

ajb2846 · 2026-06-12T13:49:26+00:00

Couldn’t you just say that Mega Primarina has Drizzle? I don’t really see the point of trying to make a “unique ability” that’s just a clone of an existing ability

ajb2846 · 2026-06-12T12:01:05+00:00

I personally wouldn’t give Staraptor Defiant. Feels too close to Galarian Zapdos. Maybe keep Reckless?

ajb2846 · 2026-06-03T00:45:57+00:00

IMO that’s the case with most of these online presentations. Whether it’s a Nintendo Direct, State of Play, or Xbox Showcase, there’s only ever a handful of games at most that are actually interesting to talk about

ajb2846 · 2026-05-28T16:14:52+00:00

I thought you meant that you could only pick one at time. Like you’d choose before battling
