*Remembers Bite, and how it was utterly useless
Yeah Mega-Gya is a great poke. I actually haven't tried M-Lopunny yet, but I've found Mega Metagross to be extremely powerful in OU, even when running Hone Claws over Agility with Sticky Web Support.
I do want to test out Mega Gallade though.
Yeah that was seriously the dumbest thing; even Pokemon that didn't have their secondary STAB before this game *Mega Ampharos w/Dragon* at least got Dragon Pulse via level-up which was perfectly reasonable. I
really saw no reason for Crunch to be left out in X/Y, when they full-well knew it was going to be part Dark-typing. I know I ranted about that forever when I saw it only had Bite/Payback. xD
M-Lopunny is really sweet, being able to switch out and potentially completely heal your next switch-is in is awesome. Not to mention that nothing is completely resistant to it either w/Fighting.
I have yet to try out Mega Metagross, it seems like an absolute beast whether you go for Hone-Claws or Agility. Seems nice to have that flexibility because of the nice Defense-boost.
I also still want to try out Metagross and Beedrill. I was excited for Pideotto at first, but its move-pool is so barren it leaves little to work with, I dunno. Might give it a shot later on.
Ooh have fun with Gallade, I bet he's be great in Doubles too, especially on the supportive side of things. ;o
