How will they balance Z megas in the mainline games?

No. They’ll be even more broken.

Either they'll be nerfed to be a true counter part and the absurd speed is just to suit the ZA mechanics or they'll be a mix of megas and Dynamax and turn back after 3 turns.

They are all fast and frail, 3 turns is more than enough

makes sense since Z is the last letter so they should always go last

>see opposing team
>plethora of already good mons that can potentially megaevolve
>some megas like in OPs are a 50/50
Mark my words ZA metagame is going to be worse than gen 9, this shit is going to be worse than random loses to unpredictable terastal.
I don't think there should be so many megas

They'll have abilities that would be extremely good if not for the drawbacks that come with them. E.g., Mega Absol's attacks will always crit, but attacks that are normally not very effective do not affect the target at all.

Why would they care? Delta Rayquaza didn't bother them either.

How will I spam Close Combat and Meteor mash/Bullet Punch without the original mega Lucario?

This only applies to Absol
>Lucario Z is purely special attack focused
>Garchomp Z lacks Ground STAB, a huge offensive nerf
Meanwhile, Absol Z is a more minmaxed version of the original mega + more immunities

these megas will be far more manageable in doubles, they don’t give a shit about bss, and smogon will just balance these things on their own

Even so, if Z-Absol has a situational ability, it might still be better to run normal Mega Absol for Magic Bounce. Z-Absol existing buffs normal Mega Absol.
