RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - Vipershark - 08-13-2014
What if it has some spin moves like Hitmontop? It's balancing on its pointy tail and the shell is spiky... I could see it happening.

Assault vest regenerator Slowbro with rapid spin? Oh god, Slowbro could become one of the best spinners in the game

But Mega Evolutions don't learn new moves, do they? Don't they just change their stats and trade their abilities?

Pokemons that get Mega Evolution do get new moves for them to use with their respective Megas, such as Ampharos getting Dragon Pulse to use it as Raiden Mega Ampharos.

I could see it happening.Even if this is what it does, if it falls over, it's done, LOL. The only one that seems plausible right now is levitation through Psychic power, or just because. Just imagine it levitating slowly behind you with DAT FACE.

This is the first incomplete line that's gotten one, so it might be happening to others too.
Slowpoke evolves to Slowbro at level 37 or alternatively, to Slowking with a King's Rock.
Oh wow, I actually completely forgot that. For the longest time it's been a single line in my head!
This makes me feel a lot better, thank you

Yes! Mega Sharpedo! But... it doesn't have Speed Boost
RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - NICKtendo DS - 09-10-2014
Oh, I have a Shiny Sharpedo! Yaaaaaay!

That's a good thing, man. After a couple turns, speed boost pretty much becomes useless. Get a boost or two with regular Sharpedo, and then bust out a 180 base power Crunch
RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - Darky's Reincarnation - 09-10-2014
i think mega sharpedo could go for moxie
anyway, really happy with this and mega gallade, both two of my favorite pokemon

RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - Tellis - 09-10-2014
Yeah, it's not like you're forced into going Mega when you send it out.
So you run Protect, Crunch, Ice Fang and Aqua Jet. Obviously you run Protect first turn you're out to assure a Speed Boost going off. Maybe again at the risk of it failing and you taking a hit, but honestly with the fact that ALL of Mega Sharpedo's stats go up, won't be surprising to see its Speed get up to the point where it outspeeds all of its big threats with only one Speed increase. At that point, you Mega and proceed to go to town with, as Sportoise said, a 180 base power Crunch (with the boosts from STAB and Strong Jaw), most likely KOing anything that doesn't resist and isn't carrying a massive Defense stat. And you're packing Aqua Jet for priority to counter anything else's priority moves. And Ice Fang because... why not, its the strongest non-STAB move that Sharpedo will have access to, getting up to base 97 from Strong Jaw.
Two hopes: please Game Freak give it access to the other Fangs through Move Tutor and please Smogon don't ban it
RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - [robo9] - 09-10-2014
I'm sure you'd see waterfall used more often than Aqua Jet. He seems to be more a sweeper rather than a revenge killer, and there would be a lot more instances where you'd need the stab 120 compared to priority.
On a different note, Sheer Force Camerupt seems killer. Flamethrower, Earthpower, Iron Head, Fire Blast and a speed that's going to be lower than base 40? This guy will be great for Trick Room
RE: Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire - AuraLancer - 09-10-2014
Delaying the Mega Evolution for Speed Boosts. I like how you think!

It's possible to obtain a free game by registering a 3/2DS and either smash 4 or ORAS on the nintendo website before january 11th.I got Luigi's Mansion 2 for free during the last promotion which was nice, so you fellows should take advantage of this if you can.
