High Speed Make-a-Mega - Submit Mega Parasect Designs!

[Sirfetch’d]

We actually have the perfect ability for that right here!

It'd be cool to keep the continuity.

oh right I totally forgot about that one. Yeah that ability works great and is similar enough to what I was getting at.

 

[gimmepie]

Alright, the poll is up!

 

[gimmepie]

One second, I forgot to allow multiple choices, just fixing that. Don't vote until I have.

Edit: Okay, now you can vote.

 

[Lycanthropy]

Completely forgot about Soul Sap, but yes that would be fitting and practical. Perfect!

 

[5qwerty]

dang I forgot to submit an ability and now we get all these suboptimal abilities

 

[gimmepie]

Soul Sap it is! Time to submit Mega Parasect's stats then.

 

[5qwerty]

nice we're stuck with 505 BST if we're going conventional Mega

60/145/120/60/100/20

you can use it on trick room teams

but it has no ghost STAB lol

 

[gimmepie]

oh crap, right I forgot to check it's moves :')

 

[CodeHelmet]

Ghost Stab doesn?t matter all that much to me but is why I voted Pure Bug. No point in giving it Ghost Typing if it can?t learn Ghost moves in the first place. Sqwerty?s stats aren?t bad but 20 Speed is concerning. Already bad enough at 30... you want to make it slower? Granted... I don?t know why I?m complaining. We?re outsped if we?re 20 or 30 so we might as well buff other aspects heh.

He designed it with Trick Room in mind.

HP: 60
Atk: 155
Def: 120
Sp. Atk: 30
Sp. Def: 110
Spe: 30

Wanted to differentiate myself a bit from qwerty but honestly his idea was similar to mine, he just got in first. Took from Sp. Atk because it has no real need for Giga Drain since any of its moves that make contact will now replenish health and Leech Life will be its primary STAB, but it still has access to Seed Bomb to provide Grass coverage if needed. I didn't bother with its speed because it doesn't make much of a difference once you get to a tier that low to be a few points in either direction and I definitely wasn't wasting the limited number of points available to try and make it faster when it'd still be too slow to be useful - that was better invested in improving damage output and bulk.

 

[gimmepie]

Next poll has gone up!

 

[CodeHelmet]

I was going to propose 75 HP/150 Attack/120 Defense/30 Special Attack/110 Special Defense/20 Speed for 505 base stats. Namely more into life and less into Speed. Figure that since we're outsped, makes no difference what our speed is going to be and with the higher life pool means that we're able to absorb more damage.

Of the two options though, 1 seems to be the best.

The problem with that is that you can't increase max hp with mega evolution.

One can dream heh. I suppose if I was to create a valid one, I'd put more emphasis on Defense. Its ability to recover life(with Leech Life really amplifying it), would turn it into a pretty good tank against everything but Fire, Rock and Flying Types(plus Ghost and Dark thanks to its Ghost Typing).

 

[gimmepie]

Looks like we're going with option two. So what does our Mega Parasect look like?

 

[gimmepie]

Spoiler:

I decided to go for a hollowed out, mutant-husk-zombie kind of deal. The fungus has done its thing now there's nothing but a withered corpse left being possessed.

 

[Kitty]

quick notes:
> inspired by soulsap(tm)
> it's not too obvious but i made the mushroom bigger
> also the pincers..........claws....things....
> it's not exactly a mega worthy thing lmfao but i loved drawing it

 

[gimmepie]

Why did I try again?

 

[DreamTeam]

Spoiler:

Pokedex Entry :

Gen 8 (future):
- "Infused with the power of Mega Evolution, the mushrooms controlling the host have rapidly overgrown, fighting amongst themselves for full power."
- "Scientists tried to strengthen the powers of Parasect through artificial Mega Evolution. As a side effect, the parasitic shrooms took over the host's body and have become wild."

 

[Hyzenthlay]

Megas don't have to be grand. Take Sableye, for example. :P There isn't much difference but I still love how it turned out!

Anyway, these look great! Kitty's gives me such Drawn to Life vibes, haha. ?
