>>20936738This. People have been focusing too hard on the Inner Focus bullshit and not on the things that are actually good about it.
So what if it could end up being a physical Mega Gardevoir? Mega Gard's one of the best wallbreakers in OU right now, being anything like it is a good thing, especially when Mega Gallade's Close Combat is actually stronger than Pixilate Hyper Voice even without an ability. I'll include the calculation because I already know some idiot will try to correct me.
90 BP Hyper Voice (It's 90 people, not 96, not 100, not 110, it's fucking 90, get it together already) * 1.5 STAB * 1.3 Pixilate boost = 175.5 BP
120 BP Close Combat * 1.5 STAB = 180 BP.
Mega Gard has a marginally better typing that gives it one less weakness and an immunity it doesn't take advantage of much while Gallade has more tricks up it's sleeves, which brings me to my next point.
>Outclassed by Mega Medicham!I'm not saying it's going to be better but Gallade is not going to be as one-dimensional as Mega Medicham at least. Medicham has the advantages of higher power and Fake Out. Meanwhile, Gallade has:
>a more reliable Fighting STAB>better special bulk>SWORDS DANCE>the same coverage moves plus Knock Off, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Poison Jab for Fairies>all of the same status moves that Mega Gardevoir uses (Will-o-Wisp, Taunt, Bulk Up instead of Calm Mind, Destiny Bond, all that good bullshit)Is its ability completely worthless? Absolutely. But anyone that thinks this thing isn't going to at least make UU are completely delusional.
