Agreed. And it certainly has a much better design than the mega evolutions of two certain pokemon whose names both start with the letter G. *goes back to complaining about Gyarados and Gardevoir's mega evolutions*

I mean... maybe it's just the screenshots I've seen, but it looks like Gyara basically goes back to fish-form. What the heck? And it also changes type to Water/Dark apparently, which as cool or whatever it might sound IS JUST NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE POKEMON! AHHH!!! And I don't want Mold Breaker either. Intimidate or gtfo! =(



Also, it seems like Mega Gengar - who actually looks kinda cool by the way - will have 170 base Sp Attack and the Shadow Tag ability. Combine that with 130 speed, and... yeah. Herpaderpasweepadeepah! I'm starting to really hope that activating the mega evos won't be as simple as just equiping the pokemon with the required item and have them transform on the first turn or something.



Something cool, though, is that Aegislash (final evo of Honedge) not only look nice but seem to be quite a powerhouse too. It learns both Sword Dance and one of the 2x speed-increasing moves and has some pretty nice STAB moves to go with each set like Shadow Sneak and Iron Head. And it gets some pretty nice coverage moves too. In its "attack form" it also has 150 base attack and sp attack and 60 in all other stats, while the defense form has 150 in both defenses and 60 in all the other stats. 60 speed might suck, but Shadow Sneak or 2 x Speed Boost takes care of that.



ps: I want pokemon Z alternative mega evolutions for Gyara and Gardevoir.
