How can you evens see anything? The screenshot is so teeny!

OH, the blue thing? Isn't that the Alpha orb (probably taking over the role of the Blue Orb)?

Mega Sceptile does look boss but I have to go with the hulking Mega Swampert. I've always wanted to pick Mudkip anyways.

By bad I mean worse. And from your previous post I it looked like you agreed that Limber would have been way better than Lightning Rod.
Sure Glare might get a few more users, but I don't ever think it will be a common sight.

I would have prefered Unburden, that was an interesting ability. I would even prefer Overgrow over Lightning Rod.

I also would have liked a physical/mixed Mega Sceptile, I would be glad if Sceptile with Leaf Blade finally could be useful.

I don't think Limber is a better option. Limber prevents paralysis... but Lightningrod has more use, especially in double and triple battles. Mega Sceptile + Gyarados, for instance.

Unburden with a Mega Pokemon? That would be the worst ability ever as the Pokemon can't dispense of its item. Overgrow is risky though, as you can't predict what will happen, especially with a Pokemon with so many weaknesses.

I'm a bit ashamed now. Somehow I remembered that Mega-Evolving consumed the stone. Nevermind then. However I do think Overgrow would be better. It is a bit risky but you don't lose anything. With Lightning Rod you don't seem to gain anything either unless playing doubles.

Not much no, except some confidence that your opponent is unsafe using Electric-type attacks, but there are many alternatives. Electric is usually paired with Ice for the near-flawless coverage anyway, and this definitely isn't good news for Sceptile.

I can definitely see Swampert's defences being boosted at least 30 apiece, if not more. Good job it has no recovery item or moves, as otherwise I think it would be completely devastating. It's a shame Swift Swim sort of discourages Curse though......

Well, no one's saying you've got to use it on a rain team. I think having Swift Swim makes it more versatile, you can use it in different ways depending on circumstance.

I guess Ryu No Hadou/ Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dive, Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail will be great for Jukain. It is quite difficult for me to choose two of them since these are quite awesome in my opinion.

I just thought I'd note that "Dragon Dive" is "Dragon Rush" in English.

Anyway, I'd say that the natural ones would be Dragon Pulse and Dragon Tail, since Mega Sceptile's tail is clearly a major element of its body, and it would need a Special attack to make use of Lightningrod.

I'm not a fan of mega Sceptile's looks. I didn't like Swamparts at first but it grew on me...I think that both have great abities.

I really hope they give Swampert the moves Bulk Up and Slack Off (As egg moves or normal level up, I don't care) Okay, Slack Off might be a little OP, but I would even settle for Aqua Ring over Rest :/

I don't know about you all, but, to me, Diancie's Mega Evo makes it look even more like a girl. The other Megas really don't look REALLY eye-catching. As always, the only ones worth anything are Blazikan, Charizard X, Mewtwo Y, Absol, and now Diancie. All others really are pretty boring, to me anyway. But the Prehistorics for Groudon and Kyogre look pretty cool.

I don't like most of the megas either. Mega Blastoise looks the best to me...Mega Blaziken still looks the best of the hoenn starters

Well as far as I am concerned Mega swampert looks so much like a boss. I like all the mega evos, I don't think any of them are boring. But then again I am a lot less judgemental when it comes to pokemon designs nowadays. Hopefully some more megas will surface.

Kind of wish they have used Dragon Dive instead of Dragon Rush. Dragon Dive sounds cool. on the topic of the Megas: I am surprised the first gen 6 mega we get was a Pokemon that hasn't even officially been given out let.

Groudon and Kyogre's Devolution don't look that impressive to me. They just added some glow unlike previous form-changing legendaries like Giratina and Kyurem. I have the feeling I'm the only one with this opinion though...

Thank God Mega Sceptile is Dragon/Grass (the first one if I recall) because Lightningrod doesn't really add much to it's versatility imo. It's design still kicks butt.
Mega Swampert is by far my favourite design wise. It just looks like a Tank ready to Rollout you to death lol. And Swift Swim made me chuckle a bit.
I am also looking forward to Mega Diancie's unknown ability.
