  2. Well this was an enjoyable night/morning. It was a pleasure staying up with all of you to enjoy this lovely batch of leaks. Here’s to hoping for more leaks to come later today.

    Now if you excuse me, I’m going to sing “London Bridge is Falling Down” as I prepare to retire…specifically, these lyrics…

    Build it up with iron and steel,
    Iron and steel, iron and steel,
    Build it up with iron and steel,
    My fair lady.

  3. I like the non Hoenn love there (with Lopunny, nobody was expecting that)
    Altaria and Mence were probably gonna get Megas cause faves
    I like the Pikachu moves. Icicle Crash for Ground Types please
    Can’t wait for official artwork!
    (Good thing to wake up to, always puts a smile on my face)

  4. Mega Altaria’s matchups, IMO:
    Mega Sceptile – boned
    Mega Swampert – Avalanche, dead
    Mega Blaziken – boned
    Mega Metagross – Depends if Meta can survive a Fire Blast. Meteor Mash + Bullet Punch FTW.
    Mega Lopunny – boned
    Mega Mence – boned
    Mega Gengar – Hypnosis or Perish Trap
    Mega Banette – …?
    Mega Absol – boned
    Mega Manectric – boned
    Mega Scizor – Bullet Punch x2, dead
    Mega Pinsir – boned
    Mega Heracross – boned
    Mega Kangakshan – Power-Up Punch, tank a Hyper Voice, Return, dead
    Mega Garchomp – boned
    Mega Tyranitar – boned
    Mega Houndoom – boned
    Mega Aggron – Iron Head x1-2, dead
    Mega Gardevoir – Hyper Voice, dead. BTW, Fairy doesn’t resist Fairy.

    BAN. <3

  5. So many people on my timeline are saying that smogon are already discussing banning mega salamence. it may be the quickest ban of all time rotlmfao. I’m guessing because it shares a similar destiny with mega lucario, you can’t predict which set it’s going to use – and it gets a huge defense boost it can probably take an Ice Shard or two.

    The common sets will be:

    Hyper voice / hyper beam
    Fireblast/ flamethrower
    Dragon pulse/ draco meteor
    Hydro pump

    And the more broken

    Dragon dance
    Return / Thrash
    Outrage/dragon claw
    Earthqauke/ fireblast

  6. So with the Shiny Beldum, it’s gonna make ORAS so easy if they do it like they did with SB Torchic in XY, won’t use it (along with any other Megas)
    Lucia, are we assuming she might have an Altaria because it’s next to her + her cloud cuffs?
    If so, Altarianite(?) might be a ‘win contests’ mega stone

  7. I did a bit of testing for a bit of fun.
    This is using current stats though, without adding Mega Bonuses. It can change, but I don’t expect Megamence to gain much Sp. Def based on what is said in Corocoro.

    ***

    +1 252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Thrash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Altaria: 282-333 (79.6 – 94%) — guaranteed 2HKO

    Are you serious. You need +def and max ev’s and Bold Nature (+def) to guarantee survival after a Dragon Dance.

    On the other hand, if Altaria gets the first shot…
    0 SpA Pixilate Altaria Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Salamence: 306-360 (92.4 – 108.7%) — 50% chance to OHKO

    Note, that is with 0 EV’s in special attack.
