Does it bother anyone else when a Pokemon you like has a lot of wasted stats? For example take Mega Rucario, imagine if that 140 sp atk was put into attack for a total of 285 base attack. Oh mama.

Redundancy. They felt it would be too strong if all 100 points were put in useful stats.

Mega Lucario stats
70-70(+0)
110-145(+35)
70-88(+18)
115-140(+25)
70-70(+0)
90+112(+22)

Its Atk stat is 5 points higher than its SpA. None of its stats besides Def is wasted.

>>27658660
Yeah an Adaptability Close Combat is still stronger than a Adaptability Aura Sphere, but Aura Sphere doesn't low Mega Lucario's already low Def and SpD making it to resists better resisted moves.

You faggots do realize that M-Luc is only ridiculous because of it's offensive nature of being a complete coinflip right?

Now THIS is what OP should've started the thread with.

With 285 base attack I don't think you give 2 fucks about Intimidate and Burn.

so basically you're asking why there are mixed attackers?

Only reason people must use Mega Lucario is for special sets. Yeah, it has slighty better physical stats and 120 BP Adaptability STAB but besides Keldeo, Mega Lucario is the only viable Fighting-type special attacker. If you're looking for a Close Combat STAB Fighting-type use Infernape, it may not have the sheer force that Mega Lucario, but it can hold a Focus Sash, something that Mega Lucario can only dream. Also Fire-type STAB.

Special attacker Lucario is pretty good in the Battle Maison, particularly because he can't be fucked over by burns or evasion.

Theres also Terrakion, who has one of the best STAB combinations that is only resisted by a few pokemon which gives it two free moveslots.

It's actually +20, and to be even more absurd, Gallade gets a +30 defense boost and no special attack boost.

I don't get why they couldn't have done the same

It's not wasted at all. You can do mixed sets or special sets, and bait the physical one.

To be fair with pixelate and fairy typing it's already much better than Gallade. ORAS megas are much better than Kalos megas

I can understand not wanting it to be OP but fucking hell even keeping Justified would've been fair

I don't think it's a completely well designed mega considering its lackluster ability

being immune to flinching is ok in vgc but honestly it doesn't bring enough power to the table relative to other megas to be anything other than a niche choice

Why not use both Close Combat AND Aura sphere/Focus Blast. That way if you are fighting a physical wall like Gliscor or Tangrowth or whatever you can get the jump on them and hit them in their weaker defense stat? At least I think that's how you're supposed to use it?
