Βyakuya Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 My friend: Slowbro looks like a baby in one of those backpack things and Audino looks like Kyubey. What does Healer do again? 30% chance of healing adjacent ally Pokemon in Double/Triple battles, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt2 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Mega Audino could be an interesting support poke in doubles. Heal Pulse, Healer ability, Dual Screens, Wish, possibly Helping Hand And now with a better typing and more bulk. It could be ok. Mega Slowbro is going to be awful tho.

Shradow Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 If it evolves any further, that Slowbro is going to get eaten and die. Yeah, I was thinking the same reason. Isn't the in-game reason Slowbro is even a thing is that it's a Shellder that won't let go because their tail tastes so good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Slowbro is already amazing and Mega Slowbro is probably going to be worse. Which is good. I don't think I'm emotionally capable of dealing with a Regenerate Mega Slowbro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was talking about Gen 5 with Audino grinding silly. That makes sense. See, I figured since people like to beat up on the ones in the Battle Chateau that you were talking about that. Poor Mega Slowbro, don't worry I like you buddy.... Also I'm saddened that everyone is calling it Mega-Slow instead of Mega-Bro. That being said. I'm starting to get a strange feeling they plan on making a Mega-Evolution for every Pokemon. OMG YES!!! MEGA-BRO ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!! And yea, I wonder how they are picking who to give Megas too. Slowbro is one of the more random ones. I don't think everyone will get a Mega though since they feels like it would defeat the point. You can let those that are lagging behind catch up if everyone moves. Though I've really come to like the Mega Evolution as a mechanic.It lets them push pokemon a bit harder knowing teams can't just be all Megas. Its really quite cleaver. Mega Audino could be an interesting support poke in doubles. Heal Pulse, Healer ability, Dual Screens, Wish, possibly Helping Hand And now with a better typing and more bulk. It could be ok. Mega Slowbro is going to be awful tho. I think she is going to be really good in doubles. Just, as someone who doesn't play doubles, it gets a big "meh" from me. Honestly, I don't get why they push doubles so hard when it isn't the main way to play. I get that it helps keep some of the more busted pokemon more on the fair side but its still strange. Slowbro is already amazing and Mega Slowbro is probably going to be worse. Which is good. I don't think I'm emotionally capable of dealing with a Regenerate Mega Slowbro. I wish it had gotten a different ability than Shell Armor. Bulletproof and Magic Guard both could have worked imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 So we're getting Horde fights in NPC fights. Sounds interesting. Probably will be confirmed sometime in coming months if it is true; hope it is. (It's confirmed; assuming Team Aqua will have Carvanha or something) As for Mega Slowbro, Regenerator is a much better ability on it than Shell Armor [considering critical hits won't happen that often, unless in certain cases]. Then again, I don't use it or Slowking much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 That makes sense. See, I figured since people like to beat up on the ones in the Battle Chateau that you were talking about that. I probs should've specified that I was talking about Gen 5, derp. I'm not sure if this is legit, but it seems awesome Yeah, it is legit, it was shown in the latest trailer a couple of days ago. Also with Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino being leaked, if there is another Gen 2 pokemon getting a Mega then ORAS will have had a Mega pokemon from every Gen.

Pchi Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Don't know what to say about Slowbro. Audino is cute though. I don't really use Audino though, let alone Blissey (granted, I am training one for testing; probably will be needing a Poke that can sponge hits and heal team when necessary). Mega Audino might do the same role as Blissey is now [maybe not as much], but with better physical defenses to sponge attacks [not like it'll be surviving many Close Combats though]. She's Normal/Fairy now, meaning she's not weak to Fighting anymore. Also, funny how people were complaining about Game Freak giving Megas to mons that did not need them but now they're mad at Audino receiving one even though she really needed improvements. Even if she lost Regenerator, her stat boosts and new typing will surely make her see much more use than before. She might even get a Recover-like move in ORAS - much like Lopunny will get High Jump Kick - to compensate for it. And while I can't say M-Slowbro will be better than Vanilla Slowbro, losing Regenerator not necessarily will make it worse; if it gets a decent S.Def boost in addition to the boosts in Def and S.Atk, it can gain a niché over its regular form. Remember, Bro already saw use in higher tiers even before getting Regenerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I only just now realized Shell Armor is NOT Weak Armor. Because that's what people's reactions and my poor memory was telling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Shell Armor blocks critical hits from what I remember (needed to check Smogon to be sure). It's not that bad, but the chances of getting a critical hit is 1/16 most of the time. Then again, its defenses went up so it can tank hits better than its regular form could do; even if lack of recovery (It still has Slack Off last time I checked). Weak Armor (which I think a lot of us, probably including me, thought it was getting) lowers defenses, but increases speed. This one would be horrid on Slowbro if it got it, since its speed is already dismal [same as Snorlax] and weakened defenses make it easier for Pokes with super effective moves on it to set up and kill it.

Hm.... Ursaring maybe? Quagsire? Stantler? Sudowoodo? I think Skarmory would be the most likely one now that I thik about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I knew it was the crit one. As you said it just doesn't do anything 90% of the time so the ability is kind of a waste. And it does have Slack Off. There's also other candidates like Slowking and Kingdra. But I like Critdra so much, and you need the item for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 But I like Critdra so much, and you need the item for that. You could keep it as Critdra though. You never know what could get a mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 You could keep it as Critdra though. You never know what could get a mega. Fair. Though in all odds Megadra will likely be better. Much like how I've already breed a Metagross and Sceptile and will need to breed a second one once the remakes come out.

Agro Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I just realized how cool Mega Zoroark could be. Being able to go from Illusion into a mega would be fun and add more thought and power to its already unique and strategy-altering ability. It'd be even more fun if the illusion kept up through the mega if the last pokemon in your party can mega evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we not notice this? ... oh, now that is SO much better! I mean, in Audino's case. That means that its Evolution still has access to Regenerator-- --WAIT A MINUTE, THEY'RE RELEASING NEW EVOLUTIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF A GENERATION?!?!

.Rai Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's more than likely a programming error. Someone pointed this out in the notes of that Tumblr post. Audino's name in the Korean still says Audino. So, no, probably a Mega Evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
