Mega Evolutions Thread

I'm actually laughing at the possible Kangaskhanite ban.
Don't get me wrong, it's really good but not broken. #Noban

You can't be serious. . .

No I'm dead serious...
Best mega no doubt, but it has counters.
Plus it needs a free setup to really do damage.
Plus Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn makes quick work of it.

Kangaskhan is decent for sure, and a serious threat if allowed to set up, and you get lucky with speed (as let's be honest, 100 is pretty average), but by no means leaps and bounds better than anything else.

Kangaskhan is really good, but I out-speed one with a Lucario and used close combat, why should she have a ban? It's so good and it's cool for her to have such a decently competitive aspect.

Let's not go down the route of create-a-mega

To be fair, that was pretty much why this entire thread had existed. Everything else(competitive role of megas, the designa of megas, mechanics of mega evolution, individual advantages of megas) can all be handled by other threads(competitive threads, gameplay threads, dex threads etc.). The only unreleased but known Megas are Lati twins, which can be handled by the Legendary thread.

Really, this thread is kind of redundant at this point.

tbf, Luke needs Mega-Evolution to outspeed Jolly Mega Kanga (or Jolly to outspeed Adamant Mega-Kang) and Adamant Luke speed-ties Adamant regular Kangaskhan

Alright, since the games have been out for a while and we know all the Mega Pokemon, there's really not a whole lot more to discuss on this front. From now on all Mega Pokemon related discussion will go in the General Gameplay & Battle Mechanics Thread. This is only for the discussion of known Mega Pokemon. Posts such as "I want x Mega Pokemon" or "I think x should get a Mega" have no place. If you have questions regarding Mega Pokemon use the Official X & Y Help Thread.
