Why is Mega Kangaskhan so op? Sun 27 Oct 2013 22:54:32 No.15280307 View View Reply Original Report

SO, Mega kangaskhan gets 2 attack boosts with power up punch in 1 turn. I feel like gamefreak should patch this up because it game breaking. But I don't really know where this stands. Opinions?

Mega Gengar and Mega Mawile are really powerful too.

I think it's too early to declare a single mega evolution overpowered, though it might end up that having at least one in your team is ideal in almost every team.

it's only a swords dance with a 40 power fighting attack
he doesn't get STAB, he doesn't have technician
the damage is great, but it's not broken, and if you really have a problem with it, switch in a ghost

I like mega Kanga but it's better than Swords Dance because everything with a secondary effect occurs twice as often (or has twice as many chances in the case of random ones).

Also paternal bond. You hit a 40 base power attack, get an attack boost and then hit for what I assume is a 20 base power attack.

She can't learn Body Slam until December.
The only other good secondary effect moves she got is Stomp. but even then the chance of flinch occurring isn't actually double. (51% chance instead of 60%) so it's like a more damaging but less hax serene grace

It's only marginally better than Swords Dance, and at least real SD users can set up against a ghost.

If Machamp comes in the turn that MKangaskhan uses PUP, it will KO'ed by that +2 Return. A Defense invested Conkeldurr maybe can tank that and retaliate, but is not sabe either.

It's a good opener if you can cause a switch in to something that is neutral or better, and also counters the age old tactic of Wall Taunting. Of course, the Speed is never going to be high enough to do a full sweep, but catching a wall unawares can give you a couple easy KOs.

You jump in, scout out ghosts or whatever with fakeout or pppunch with scrappy before you mega evolve. Run sucker punch or crunch after you mega-evolve and you countered the ghost, crunch them if they sub up, sucker punch them if they attack. She's pretty awesome. Can't wait to use her but mine isn't leveled or ev'd yet.
