Thank you KillerDraco for reviving this thread.
Nerf to Mega Rayquaza:
Change it to Primal Rayquaza and give it the requirement of having to hold a new item, Green Orb, in order for it to perform the primal reversion. I get what Gamefreak was going for but uber-breaking a pokemon by breaking the rules of a Mega Evolution like that is the wrong way to do so and that I want only Arceus to be uber broken, if at all.
Retcon to Adamant Orb:
New flavour text: "A mysterious orb that gleams brightly and is to be held by Dialga. It has a deep connection with the Sinnoh region."
New effect: Gives a 20% boost to Dialga's Dragon and Steel typed moves and causes it to shift to its Origin form when held.
Origin Dialga:
- Switch Criteria: Have it hold an Adamant Orb. In this state, the Adamant Orb can not be removed from Dialga
- Type: Dragon/Steel
- Ability: Temporal Shield.
- Stats:
At a first glance; Origin Dialga looks to be crazy OP with it's ability combined with big buffs to its defenses with it's huge Special Attack to boot, only be augmented with the Adamant Orb. However, it can't hold other items and Adamant Orb only boosts its STABs. Secondly; it's Speed has been lowered to 70 to increase its other stats, leaving it tied with Blaziken's normal form for the second slowest in Ubers and is the slowest of all mascot legendaries. However, Temporal Shield alone makes it an annoying threat that has to be carefully played around if you don't want to lose your pokemon to it; it will almost always outlive at least one hit, enabling it to get off that crucial attack that may KO the attacker and can not be worn down over time with status or rocks.
Temporal Shield (Ability):
- Flavour Text: "Delays some of the damage taken from attacks and nullifies all passive damage."
- In-depth effect: When the user is hit by an attack that deals damage, they only take only half damage from the attack initially. At the end of their next turn or before they switch out from battle, the user takes the rest of the damage. The user is also immune to all forms of passive damage except the delayed damage. It doesn't work against any attacks that hits it when switching out (eg. Pursuit while the user of this ability switches out)
- Distribution: Origin Dialga.
