>>40321246Rest in Pieces Megas, I hated you at first but then I saw the possibilities: so many mediocre-to-shit pokemon could have been turned incredible thanks to megas... Maybe in the future they'll come back for the ones who do need one
And so I drew my take on Mega Poliwrath! didnt have time to shade it though but I will eventually fully complete it.
The design takes Poliwrath's role as a professional swimmer and expands on it:
Mega Poliwrath has bigger hands and feet for extra push in swimming, along with more muscle from all the training; the cheeks Politoed appear on Mega Poliwrath and play the role of swimming armbands; Mega Poliwrath gains an actual mouth (again, getting closer to its royal sibling) which it opens to shoot special attacks; it also gains fashonable swimming googles to protect its eyes when swimming at very high speeds!
Gameplay-wise Mega Poliwrath shines it's Swift Swim ability along with these stat changes:
Health: 90 -> 110 (+20)
Attack: 95 -> 115 (+20)
Defense: 95 -> 110 (+15)
Sp. Atk: 70 -> 80 (+10)
Sp. Def: 90 -> 105 (+15)
Speed: 70 -> 90 (+20)
(I also tried designing Mega Politoed but couldn't get it to work; Mega Cacturne is next)
