ORAS Megas Competitive Analysis Project

[Matt_192]

Currently, I am in the process of starting to write analysis of the new megas prior to the release of ORAS, just to get a look before the introduction of the new metagame. However, you can probably understand that this will take quite a while, so I am enlisting the help of any good battlers on the site.

Here is a list of all the megas that we need to write for (in numerical order to the best of my memory). The names next to them are of the people writing the analysis of that particular 'mon, so do not try and take one that already has someone working on it!

• Mega Beedrill - @notsoclutch
• Mega Pidgeot - @Gold 2.0
• Mega Slowbro - @Matt_192
• Mega Steelix
• Mega Sceptile - @Matt_192
• Mega Swampert - @Marigi174
• Mega Sableye - @notsoclutch
• Mega Camerupt - @Marigi174
• Mega Sharpedo - @Marigi174
• Mega Altaria - @Gold 2.0
• Mega Glalie - @Jiggly
• Mega Salamence - @Matt_192
• Mega Metagross - @Gold 2.0
• Primal Groudon - @Blaguard
• Primal Kyogre
• Mega Rayquaza - @phenix
• Mega Lopunny - @Jiggly
• Mega Gallade
• Mega Audino - @notsoclutch
• Mega Diancie - @Argue
• 'Mega' Hoopa

Drop a comment down below on what you would like to take. Please use some common sense though - firstly, only take around 1-3 max, and don't pick a Pokemon that you think will be in a tier you have no clue about. I'm currently on holiday on a crappy phone, so I probably won't respond, but if the Poke you want hasn't been requested, take it. Send all drafts and final analysis to [email protected] and I can respond to you there.

Make sure that your analysis consists of:
- A brief summary
- At least 3 movesets, containing the set, usage and why you selected those EVs and moves.
- Other options. This can include items, abilities and moves
- Checks and Counters
- Final Comment and Proposed Tier

Hopefully, everything should go to plan, and I'll catch you guys later

 

[Gold 2.0]

You can put me down for Mega Altaria and Mega Metagross + Mega Pidgeot.
Three of my favorite pokemon of all-time and I definitely have some ideas on these pokemon.

Are you looking for us to make sets or just talk about them?

 

[Matt_192]

@Dom I'm looking for people to make full competitive analysis - talk about them, give sets, other options, checks and counters etc. Think it says so in the post, lol.

I worded that poorly, my bad

I meant do we need to make sets and talk about them or can we just make sets and give them to the person doing the analysis if we're lazy but interested in helping

My bad

 

[Matt_192]

@Dom Oh sure, that would be fine. As long as you get the right person lol

 

[Matt_192]

Sorry guys! Send the stuff to [email protected]. My phone just broke, so I've been trying to get this message through for about 12 hours.

 

[notsoclutch]

I'll do whatever. I've already contributed a few sets, so might as well put the cherry on top.

I'll take Altaria, Audino, Beedrill, and I can help with Pidgeot and Lopunny if need be since I've already kind of thought them over a lot for my gym and what not.

@Jiggly gets Glalie no questions asked.

He said he could, but he wasn't definite, plus he already has 3 megas. He also knows that I've been planning kewl sets, so I figured it would be fine

I totally missed Metagross tho xD

 

[Gold 2.0]

ik, Meatgross for you, Metagross for me. It all works out

That's not how it works lol

 

[notsoclutch]

I said I could help with lopunny and audio since I've already kind of bred them for my gym XD. Anyway, Sableye is done.
