Realistically, what could GF do to make a Mega Slaking that isn't completely overpowered?
Or around the level of Mega Kan at least.

If it got slow start that actually would be bad

Just keep spamming slack off and protect until it ends

Instead of only moving every other turn, now it's restricted to using status moves every other turn. Wouldn't that be cool?

That actually sounds really interesting and definitely viable.

In singles, I can see just using protect every other turn but that makes it extremely predictable for someone to just set up on the other hand so it sounds pretty balanced. I like this idea.

Disregard me then, I don't know what I'm talking about as far as that goes. I'd still say it's still a safe bet for most megas get a 100 point boost until I see more than one exception. Normally I'm annoyed by people with obssesion with
>muh patterns
But there are enough megas to say it's more or less a rule by now, and that Alakazam is an exception.

Archeops gets recovery through Roost though and you don't see it being a top-tier threat.

Though I guess a difference between the two is that Slaking isn't frail as shit.

I've always fucking loved slaking.

I use him with cofagrigus on double battles a lot.

Attack cofagrigus / gain mummy no more truant / create monster and win

I've done it a couple of times on single battles but it's a bit difficult.

if you want something that would make sense
all the energy involved in megaevolving and increasing the BST goes into making slaking stand up, staying the way it is and give it limber or vital spirit

Honestly part of me kind of wishes this. Too many Hoenn Pokemon have megas already. Nothing from Gen 5 or Six, and there are still plenty of older Pokemon that need megas too. I'd rather they save new megas for Z.

But we already know Lati@s are getting megas.

which means if anything else besides arguably Kyogre/Groudon got megas
Wouldn't we know about them?

And if Slaking got a mega, or Rayquaza, Mewtwo wouldnt be the strongest Pokemon in existence. And its Mega exists largely so that it remains "the world's strongest Pokemon"

You have to waste a turn with it, possibly even two since fake out is extremely common in doubles. And you can't switch out without getting truant again anyway.
