Make-a-Mega 3: Finished
 
Make-a-Mega

We all know that there’s a lot of Pokemon that just plain suck competitively. However, the introduction of mega-evolution as a mechanic allowed many Pokemon that would otherwise be very weak to suddenly become very usable. In the case of some Pokemon (ie. Lucario or Mawile), their mega-evolutions give them such a boost that they jump from lower tiers into Ubers.

So, for the Daily series Make-a-Mega, we’re going to take a Pokemon that is ordinarily quite weak and create a mega-evolution that will render it usable in a higher tier. In the Make-a-Mega just passed, we took Luxray and changed it from being useless competitively to a brutal physical attacker with an even more fabulous design. Now it's time to do the same for another Pokemon. First we'll select which Pokemon we'll focus on, then as we develop its typing, ability and stats PC's dazzling artists over in Art & Design will develop a design.

Week-by-week breakdown

Week One: Pokemon is determined
Week Two: A&D work begins, type change (if any) is determined.
Week Three: Ability change (if any) is determined.
Week Four: Stat changes are determined. Featured design is selected.

Each week (excluding the artwork) is broken down into three days where ideas are suggested and then a four day poll to determine which idea we apply. The article is then written and published as the next polling process begins.

Guidelines
  1. The chosen Pokemon must be fully-evolved or have no evolutions.
  2. It should not already possess a mega-evolution.
  3. It must be from a tier below OU.

Previous Selections
  1. Roserade
  2. Luxray

I'll nominate Feraligatr.

Earth Traveler May 26th, 2016 9:47 AM

Nominating Butterfree. If Beedrill can get a mega, why can't Butterfree?!

FireSnow May 26th, 2016 9:59 AM

I'm going to throw Weezing out there again as I feel it would benefit greatly from a Mega.

gimmepie May 26th, 2016 10:26 AM

I'm going to suggest Ursaring.

It's always been portrayed as powerful and badass in the media, has a killer design, a decent movepool and a great attack stat but is still completely useless because its other stats are terrible. I'd like to see it get a much needed boost.

Shadowflare May 26th, 2016 10:50 AM

I'll recommend Carracosta. The fifth gen needs more megas, and Carracosta seems like a fine candidate. We didn't do a Water or Rock type yet, Carracosta has untapped potential(just look at that moveset), and everyone loves a fossil 'mon.

Sirfetch’d May 26th, 2016 1:08 PM

I thought about suggesting Tentacruel again but I'd like to go down a different road and suggest Shiftry. Shiftry is an average Pokemon for the most part but has a really cool move in Defog, which is uncommon outside of flying types. I feel like with it's solid movepool, mixed stats, and great offensive typing we could really make it into a formidable OU Defogger.

Desert Stream~ May 26th, 2016 8:34 PM

I'll nominate Mudkip
I will second Usaring, it's one of my favorites.
Also I think butterfree/slowking/froslass would be good choices but I'm sticking with Usaring.

Etherion May 26th, 2016 11:35 PM

Alright! Round 3, here we go~
I'll nominate, Torterra :)

Lucario May 28th, 2016 12:58 AM

I'd like to nominate Girafarig! This guy needs a definite boost in his stats. :D

Omg yes I would also like to see mgas for Zoroark since it is one of the best Pokemon in design in my opinion.

Volcarona1996 May 28th, 2016 7:58 AM

I'm nominating Lapras. Still no idea why GameFreak haven't given it a mega yet

shubham2207 May 28th, 2016 9:50 AM

Nominating RAPIDASH cuz I need a Fire/Fairy RIGHT NOW!!

gimmepie May 29th, 2016 11:06 AM

The poll is up!

blue May 29th, 2016 11:28 AM

A Rapidash mega would be pretty awesome!

Pepperton May 29th, 2016 1:53 PM

I voted for both Zoroark and Shiftry.

Jephod May 29th, 2016 7:44 PM

I will nominate Feraligatr. He is definitely on my top 10.

Longmint May 29th, 2016 9:06 PM

Nominated Feraligatr because I love using it since it is such an underrated threat. Both Sheer Force and Torrent are great abilities for it as well.

FireSnow May 29th, 2016 9:58 PM

Went with Weezing and Rapidash. Both would benefit greatly and would allow for potentially awesome, unique types!

punkysaur May 29th, 2016 10:55 PM

Lapras it is.My most fav water type in firered

shubham2207 May 30th, 2016 1:42 AM

Going For RAPIDASH cuz fire/fairy pegasus <3

Also

If Mega Beedrill, why not Mega Butterfree!

Aurora May 30th, 2016 1:53 AM

I nominated Torterra. Aside from being very bad in OU thanks to how outclassed it is at the moment, being a Rock Polish user that is outsped by several Choice Scarf users sucks, so it could use a Speed increase. A Mega Evolution would also make room for augmentation of Torterra's already solid bulk. Sadly, its power is already only average, and considering Mega Pokemon can't use Life Orb, a Mega Torterra runs the risk of being weaker than its base forme. However, its Attack could always be increased to make up for this, and it's not as if other Megas are free of this issue. Losing Life Orb could possibly even help Mega Torterra, as it wouldn't be killing itself every time it attacks.

shubham2207 May 31st, 2016 11:40 AM

by looking at the poll, I think we will need another poll...

Butterfree, Lapras, Rapidash, Feraligatr and Weezing are pretty close by looking the number of votes.. :)

If there's a tie we just RNG or do a coin toss. We have a schedule we try to keep so it's problematic to re-poll constantly.
