    it's strong yes, but it has its checks and counters too. pls if 8 yr olds were to spam it, they would spam giga impact and aerial ace.

    8 year old would spam probably anything that looks big and strong like mega mence and mega meta. Anyways, diverging from the interest of 8 year olds, I just wanted to hear the opinions the NA has and it seems that anything that has enough checks and counters will not be banned which seems reasonable.

    P.S. why aerial ace?????

    That's because Black Kyurem couldn't have anything less to use its Ice-type STAB on its massive Attack stat. With Mega Metagross, it didn't get much new in the way of things to use, and it gained two new weaknesses in this generation, making it easier to contend with.

    I for one advocate this rule, maybe then we'll have less stupid garbage running around.

    Mods can we make this happen here? :)

    Then that'd ban Slaking too :P And Mega Gyarados (which, admittedly got Crunch in ORAS but is still susceptible to Bug and Fighting-type attacks as opposed to its not Mega counterpart). And Mega Aggron (which doesn't have too much separating it from other Megas). I think this would be rather impractical.

    Yeah don't teach Metagross (or any Pokemon) Giga Impact. Also, internet competitive battling communities aren't restricted to specific countries....because it's the internet.

    But back to Mega Metagross.....

    All i wanted to know was the general opinion of the North Americans (trying not to sound offensive...if it is sorry...). I usually play on korea's and japan's battling forums and they always put mega metagross on banned lists (Mostly for korea) for casual battling so i dunno....
