Topic: Which Pokemon Do You Think Will Get a Mega In This Year's Game?

I think we will be seeing mega butterfree, seems undeniable consituring it's beedrill's counterpart and so far every counterpart got it's mega. (bar dusclops because duskclops had an evolution while banette didn't)

Flygon and milotic are the most wanted megas that hoenn didn't recieve.. I don't think we'll see them and that we're done with hoenn, but there is a possibility if GF sees their demand.

But mostly I just see a focus on gen 5 and 6..

Mega Lanturn w/ Regenerator

GG Rotom-W

I'd like to see Mega Evolutions for the three Johto Starters and for a Mega Flygon.

Lanturn still wouldn't have levitate, which is rotom's niche over it.

Every counterpart in XY, that is. Slowking still doesn't have a Mega either.

Neither does Froslass. I think Butterfree, Slowking, and Froslass are inevitable. Same with the Kalos starters (regardless of the backlash over Mega Greninja being broken).

Slowking yeah, I'm expecting that one as well, but every counterpart as in pokemon who were counterparts both eventually got megas (mawile in x/y, sableye later in oras, both eons got megas, both ralt's split evolutions got megas, sharp+camerupt, etc) it would just seem odd to give only one of the bugs a mega and not the rest. (Crossing fingers for mega ariados but I'm not getting my hopes up)

EDIT: Froslass might be saved for something with gen 4 since they may want to play conservative to save megas for their respective generations.

Mega Yanmega #believe

I don't think Froslass in particular is going to be saved for DP remakes. I think most of the new Megas in that game are going to be more iconic Pokemon. Probably something like this:

4th gen starters
Luxray
Roserade
Vespiquen
Floatzel
Bronzong
Spiritomb
Drapion
Toxicroak
Weavile
Electivire
Magmortar
Mascots
Maybe some more legendaries (Regigigas, Heatran, Cresselia?)

Mega Charizard. Then we'll have Mega Mega Charizard.

weezing

All Psuedo-Legends get a Mega.

Yeah actually Regenerate probably wouldn't be the right ability anyway. Part of Lanturn's strength is that it's typing+Volt Absorb pretty much stonewalls most Water and Electric types.

Just give it boosted defenses and it gets it's job done just fine. Honestly, I'd rather just see a regular Lanturn evolution. Then it could hold Lefties and do its job.

Bug/Dragon typing or bust.

It's not going to be Bug/Dragon, dragonflies aren't connected to dragons in Japanese.

Who cares, its a video game. lol

Mega Magikarp!!!

Bug/dragon would be pointless because it has 0 special dragon type moves (or physical without some weird ability).

Yanmega is good because of his two stabs, air slash and bug buzz combined with speed boost to obliberate fast threats like sceptile, sharpedo, and beedrill. Removing one of his STABs would only hurt him.

Give him an unique ability then that changes certain moves to Dragon.

He has no moves to change to dragon outside return. Dragon only hurts dragon... while being resisted by steel and fairy is immune, giving him weaknesses to dragon, and fairy while only getting rid of electric weakness and removing ground immunity. Flying hits everything hard but steel and electric (which bug STAB handles the later) while keep the same ammount of weaknesses and an immunity. Yeah 4x to rock but he's still hit hard when pure bug anyway. Water resistance thanks to dragon doesn't really matter since yanmega didn't care that much about it before.

Honestly if there was a mega yanmega.. I'd make it like this:

Reg:
Yanmega, Bug/Flying
HP: 86
Atk: 76
Def: 86
SpA: 116
SpD: 56
Spe: 95
Abilities: Speed Boost, Tinted Lens, Frisk

Mega:
Yanmega, Bug/Flying
HP: 86
Atk: 66
Def: 86
SpA: 176
SpD: 86
Spe: 115
Ability: Sheer Force

Speed boost non-mega.. and then hit everything with a sheer force bug buzz/air slash. That's destruction there.

252+ SpA Sheer Force Mega Yanmega Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-W: 249-294 (81.9 - 96.7%) — 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Sheer Force Mega Yanmega Air Slash vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Talonflame: 300-354 (101 - 119.1%) — guaranteed OHKO

Just cause wynaut..
252+ Atk Life Orb Yanmega (Custom BST) (Custom Type) Return (Custom Type) vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 110-131 (36.1 - 43%) — guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Life Orb Yanmega (Custom Type) Return (Custom Type) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Abomasnow: 296-348 (77 - 90.6%) — guaranteed 2HKO
^ LO Makes up for the 30% boost from type changing abilities. Atk set to 126.

Adaptability would work too (and probably better) but there is already way too make things getting handed the ability.
