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.
Such power should not be left to one person however, so we're asking you – the PokeCommunity's competitive battlers – which pokemon you think deserves a mega. To take part, simply comment in this thread with the (one) pokemon you'd like to see gain a mega-evolution. Then, after three days, we'll open a four-day poll and the winner of the poll will be the focus of this month's Make-a-Mega article.
Following the decision of this poll, we'll then do a series of polls in the following weeks to determine the changes to our chosen Pokemon's stats, type (if any) and ability (if any). Meanwhile, a similar poll will take place in Art & Design where PC's artists will attempt to design the mega-evolution for this pokemon.
Week-by-week breakdown
Week One: Pokemon is determined
Week Two: A&D work begins, stat changes are determined
Week Three: Type change (if any) is determined.
Week Four: Ability change (if any) is determined. Featured design is selected.
The article is then published as the next polling process begins.
Guidelines
- The chosen Pokemon must be fully-evolved or have no evolutions.
- It should not already possess a mega-evolution.
- It must be from a tier below OU.
