For what it's worth, Contaminate is the name of the Poison-type Pixilate in the fangame I'm planning. Glad to see that name choice validated.

Also for what it's worth, Acid Snow would be cool if it was essentially Snow Warning, but everything on the field at the time when Hail ends gets poisoned, to make it slightly less gimmicky.

Glad to see Contaminate with the power boost won!

Contaminate (v1) wins, so now it's time to submit suggestions for stats.

I'll go ahead and archive the poll for you.

My spread suggestion

I think the Speed boost is important to make up for Mega Beartic's relatively poor defensive typing. Putting it in the same Speed tier as Mega Medicham, Mega Gardevoir, etc. seems suitable, because I can't visualize Beartic being as fast as Thundurus-T, Garchomp, Mega Pinsir, etc. I'm fairly sure all Megas that are around this Speed tier or higher aren't given any more than 30 to their main offensive stat (excluding originally really bad Pokemon like Beedrill), so I left Beartic with 160 Atk. Everything else went to defenses. I was debating about making it 100 Def and 80 SpD since Beartic is a physical Pokemon, but the extra SpD is useful in competitive to help with switching into Grass- and Fairy-types.

HP 95
Attack: 130 --> 150
Defense: 80 --> 90
Special Attack: 70 --> 60
Special Defense: 80 --> 110
Speed: 50 --> 100

Made mine a slightly bit bulkier specially to tank hits from mons it will be switching into like Tangrowth, Tapu Fini, Clefable, etc a bit better. 150 attack is plenty high considering it has access to SD and will be getting a very powerful STAB in either Return or Thrash.

Also wolf, I think you boosted your set by 110 BST when the limit is 100(?)

edit: nvm i was looking at pre-buffed stats

HP = 95
Attack = 130 --> 160 (+30)
Defense = 80 --> 110 (+30)
Special Attack = 70 --> 20 (-50)
Special Defense = 80 --> 110 (+30)
Speed = 50 --> 110 (+60)
Total = 505 --> 605 (+100)

I think its a bit cheesy to take that much out of SpA, and with it being so tanky it wouldn't make any sense for it to be so fast. Other than that I think its a good spread that allows it to check scary stuff like Azumarill at +6.

@Mobile Tsk
Take away from SpA to give to the defenses, then? There's no need for it to retain any SpA if it's not going to be a special attacker. However, 50 points is a drastic drop in hindsight. Maybe

HP = 95
Atk = 160
Def = 120
SpA = 50
SpD = 120
Spe = 50
Total = 605

AlmightyBreloom July 26th, 2017 3:55 PM

HP 95
Attack 150
Defense 90
Special Attack 70
Sp Def 90
Speed 110
That equals to +20 attack +10 to both defenses and +60 to speed

Poll is up!

wolf July 27th, 2017 12:26 PM

I'm not a big fan of taking stat points out of SpA and putting it elsewhere. Mega Beartic can probably function well without having to do that. That has only happened once to Beedrill, which had terrible stats. Mega Mewtwo Y had its Def reduced, but it's meant to be overpowered and Def drop is a nerf to an extent. While Garchomp, Heracross, etc. were given lower Speed, it's also a nerf, it makes sense visually, and it doesn't come across quite as cheesy (for a lack of a better word) as taking away from an unused offensive stat.

That said, I'm not strongly opposed to it.

Option two wins!
