Downgrade to flash fire. It already has a high special attack stat and nasty plot and better fire spammers exist. Give it an ability that turns everything into pursuit.

Megas were meant to stick around, they changed their minds after gen 7

They were always for the bin and doubly so when Game Freak saw how "varied" team comp had become under ME.
That every gimmick they added since ultimately ended up a gimmick EVERY pokémon could use proves they fucked it in Gen 6.

Megas can be easily reworked in the same way as Gigantmax forms.
Basically introduce generic Mega stones that can be used by any fully evolved mon but doesn't change their appearance, while a few mons get their own special Mega stones.
I can see this happening in the XY remakes because there's no way Megas aren't coming back for those, given how intertwined they are with that generation.

Megas just aren't appealing imo. Teras were the best gimmick from a competitive standpoint. They're just not as flashy or as marketable

The criteria for what counts as an evo is so retardedly relative now that you don't really have an argument even if remoraid > octillery is a better evolution. Unless you wanna make a genwar thread, if so I can't stop you.

What do you mean? Is it because megas restrict the team into centers around couple of mons and they lack variety?

If mega evolutions were regular evos you would bitch that 99% of them are just getting bigger or adding a few more features with none of the noticeable things that most actual evolutions go through.

all they had to do was keep making megas and almost everything notable would have a mega by now, instead only the cool kids got in and gf ditched the concept

yes and 95% of those megas would still be useless anyway because stronger contenders for such 1 time use gimmick per batter were better choices to win. Why bother, retard?

Basically. 48 megas, only a handful took to VGC because who the fuck wants to handicap themselves taking M-Beedrill in vs M-Gardevoir or M-Charizard?
And "getting rid of its few weaknesses" opens up opportunities to hit it SE with different damage, it's not 'Roar's problem you're too pudding brain to counter it under Tera. Sounds like you're just bad at comp and blaming 'Roar.
>>56440117
Whole point of it was to do a dragon/fairy without having to actually add a full-time Dragon/Fairy yet.

Teras > Megas for comp

Megas are cool for the novelty/marketing of the games but past that it's not that good for the series imo
