Is it broken/overpower?

If there's a limit of one per battle, I don't see it being broken.
I'm just not of a fan of the even bigger power creep coming up, because this is a pure example of it.

so far only blaziken seems to be a problem and that's because blaziken+ speed boost is already a problem on its own.
The givaway poke basically just means you don't even need to take the risk of a sword dance because of the free stat boost of mega evo.

Some pokemon, like Mawile, will care about this, but a Mega Stone is better than any item it can hold.

Something like Blaziken, on the other hand, doesn't give a shit, because Mega Evolving is a free swords dance/whatever other boost they're bound to give it.

Fuck I really wish someone would find out if a faster mon can hit another mon about to go mega before it will evolve. Or at least the priority a mega evolution has. It's eating me up inside. The wait is aggravating.

I think it depends on whether you Mega evolve at the start of the turn, regardless of speed or not. For example:

>You send out Mawile against Aerodactyl
>You choose to Mega evolve and Iron Head
>Because Mawile is slower, Aerodactyl Earthquakes the shit out of it before it can Mega evolve
>Mawile dies

or

>You send out Mawile against Aerodactyl
>You choose to Mega evolve and Iron Head
>You Mega evolve at the start of the turn but don't do Iron Head right away because you're still slower
>Aerodactyl Earthquakes you but you survive because Mega Mawile's higher defense
>You Iron Head the Aerodactyl to death

If it works like the first example then I can see the slower Megas using Protect and priority moves to make sure they get to Mega evolve.

actually if blaziken doesn't need sword dance or even a first protect to get a speed boost, it means it ca carry 2 other moves, which would be a really fucking huge advantage considering its only current counter only relies on the coverage issues of just using high kik annd flare blitz

I think Mega Evolution will take up a turn in battle

but we haven't seen the stats of the Mega evolved pokemon yet, so when they say their Attack or Speed go up, they might be worth the one wasted turn

Yup. The only third scenario I see is

>You choose to Mega evolve and attack
>You Mega evolve at the start of the turn and get stat increases on speed
>If the speed increase from the Mega now makes absol faster than the opposing mon who attacks first now?

I think the priority is pretty high, probably in the fastest bracket. In the video that showcases Mewtwo Megavolving, Mewtwo mega evolves, gets hit by Crobat, and then attacks it.

Out of all the megas they had to choose the mon with equal speed to crobat.

I wonder if all megas get a slight base stat increase or what. Besides I thought Pokemon with equal speed had a 50% shot at going first? So we do not know everything atm.

Maybe it would be considered using an item which is second highest priority. Maybe even higher if GF deems it. It would suck if slower mons were limited to getting slapped around before they could go mega unless they used a priority move.

I can see normal Blaziken, Lucario, and Mewtwo still being as popular as ever since they get to hold Life Orbs and whatnot. But I agree with you on the others; they pretty much need their Megas in order to stay competitive.

I doubt that. They will probably be barely used unless their mega is magnificent. I mean you got Lucario and Blaziken going mega which are already good mons on their on. Whichever mega is strongest that doesn't get put on a ban list is the one everyone will use due to having 1 per team.

Probably because it's like the SSJ form, you waste energy to mantain the form even if it gives you strenght (although it doesn't make much sense) so you just use it in-battle.
Looks like GF likes stuff from the Mother serie and DB.

I mean you got Lucario and Blaziken going mega which are already good mons on their on and will not become even better unlike some like ampharos which sucks at base though they might retcon it's moves to include dragon. Whichever mega is strongest that doesn't get put on a ban list is the one everyone will use due to having 1 per team.

It's not clear whether there can be only 1 or more Mega Stone in your team.
If it's the latter, I can have all 6 Pokemon holding Mega Stone and choose whichever one to go Mega.

Srsly dude don't you think 6 megas wouldn't be ridiculous? In battle and especially online? Why even use non megas? GF would not allow the rest of the mons to be ignored with a team like that. It is wishful thinking that your entire team can be megas. Though I would have preferred at least 2 mega. Guess we will find out eventually.

No one really cares if it's broken or over-powered.

Smogon's going to ban it, which will lead /vp/ to be about evenly divided between not caring because they don't use Smogon's rules, hating them for banning something that makes some of their favorite pokémon more useful, and supporting their decision to the point of basically sucking Smogon's cock.
