Ok /vp/ here's my idea. GameFreak should make a new move, learned only by a special pokemon (maybe a legendary, a weak one) that de-evolves pokemons. The thing is, now the code to change a pokemon's sprite, type and ability during battle is already in-game (mega evolutions), so it wouldn't be that difficult. A basic pokemon would take no effect, a mega-pokemon would revert back to his normal form (with no chance of megaevolving again: note that if you revive a poke that megaevolved before and fainted, you cannot megaevolve it again), and an evolved pokemon would deevolve. Obviously you can use this move only once on each pokemon. I don't know if this move should last all battle or maybe five turns, and I was looking forward to hear your opinion. Note that the pokemon learning it should be really weak, like this is his only ability and he's shit. I think a pokemon like Hoopa could be the concept to build this on. What do you think?

>>15541286 Thats stupid.
Someone would just slap a choice scarf on and spam the move on your pokes like those arseholes who spam sheer cold.

>>15541339 megas are digimon, why not counter them with other digimon?

if my pokemon changed back to its normal form after the battle sure. other wise it would be a slight pain to have to use that dusk stone again

The move exists in the TCG. One of the Mew cards has "Devolution Beam". I always thought it was quite cool and wondered why they never brought it into the games. It'd be a nice gimmick I guess. Maybe the signature move for some otherwise useless Pokemon

>>15541365 I could see it being a unique pokemon ability that stops pokemon mega evolving.
Just call it "interference" say that the energy this pokemon causes interference with mega stones.
Still stupid and annoying though.

Who cares if it destroys the meta? Youll get a new meta in return by default.

>>15541749 Saying Digimon is stupid, but the idea is right that it's a stupid idea.
Evolutions are supposed to be a natural progression. Devolving a mon would be the same as de-aging an actual person. It's stupid. Not to mention it would massively depower a mon to the point of being unfair, even if it is just 5 turns.
I wouldn't mind if there was something like that for Mega Evolutions(although it would make Megas 100% obsolete), but not for regular evolutions.
