>>22563582This next to Mega Kang and then sprinkled with Masuda admitting that Parental Bond was far stronger than intended makes it clear.
Game Freak has no idea how to balance their own game and just throw shit around and roll with it.
Healer on a Mega? Go for it.
Frail magic bouncer? Yep.
No Guard on something that only gets Hurricane and Heat Wave to "abuse it" and is weak to the ONLY type in the game to have shaky accuracy across the board? Sign Pidgeot up for that.
Tough Claws on a mega that can only use this with one of its STABs? Why not?
How about a Mega that kills itself when using its ability? Solar Power Houndoom, fans will love it!
And for everything else, just let it keep its base form ability, so that the mega is just a stronger version of the most popular set. Sounds good.
