Pokemon that deserves a mega-evolution

[Aezuica]

I'd like this too be an open-discussion, so everyone can say their opinion on what deserves a mega.

My first candidate is a Pokemon that's been with us since Gen 1, but is not wildly known. Being one of my top favorites, and pretty dangerous in competitive, we have Dunsparce. With Dunsparce having the 'Serene Grace' ability and being able to learn moves that have really helpful secondary effects, you may never know what type of Dunsparce you're facing. Whether it's a defensive or an offensive type, Dunsparce should not be a pushover. Since Gen 1, Dunsparce hasn't gotten any type of glory, that with being a different form or evolution, but this is common.
Dunsparce should get a mega, boosting both Defense, Sp. Defense, Attack, and slightly raising it's speed.

So, what do you think, and who?

 

[Dr. Buni]

Dunsparce is a Generation II Pokémon, actually.

 

[jackatlasred]

Yeah put that in the pokemon in a diffrent gen thread. Bit thats besides the point. Seaking deserves a mega. With it's bigger horn it should be able to absorb electricity, making it have either its ability volt absorb or lighting rod. Also change it into a flying type. Only increase speed and attack. And after that let it have a physical ice attack and bam you get a perfect pokemon. No wait, just staraptor give him scrappy and increase speed and attack.

I must be getting really old if newcomers to Pokemon think Dunsparce is a Gen I Pokemon. :|

Anyway, "deserves" depends on your view I guess. I consider deserving mons to be ones that see little use competitively as things are. I don't think Pokemon like Dragonite, Ferrothorn, Azumarill, Talonflame, Bisharp etc deserve them from a usability point of view (of course popularity is a different matter and those deserve them more from a popularity aspect).

Here's a tl;dr of some ideas I had. And there's lots of type additions, so if you don't like them then tough.

I could have post more, but I'm going to spare you all. :]

 

[BigBadButterfree]

Some Pokemon I really like and think definitely need megas are Luxray, Drifblim, togekiss, johto starters, (really all starters, but I think johto's are most likely next), zebstrika, gothitelle, and... I'm sure there's more I can't think of.

There are also a bunch I would love to see have megas, but for one reason or another I really don't see happening: butterfree (could be warranted given beedrill), ambipom (needs love), chandelure (it would be terrifyingly OP), flygon (poor thing), and again, more I can't really think of.

 

[Apawn:p]

Yes Dunsparce for sure, also Butterfree, Ferrow, Slowking, Flygon, Milotic, ect

 

[Rainami]

I don't really care about dusknoir, but it deserves a mega just for being not only mediocre, but less useful than its prevo. Blissey is in a similar situation, but one that is not nearly as bad. Avalugg or cryogonal should get one too, since with the right ability and stats, they have potential to be the first good defensive ice type. And we all know how badly ice needs to stop being a defensive laughing stock. And I'd say delcatty deserves one for being a second stage pokemon with the shit stats of zero evolution pokemon like spinda and co. That's all I got for now.

My personal want list is somefin close to the following:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10. dunno lol

 

[CynthiaLover]

Here are some ideas I've had so far:

Spoiler

Luxray: Electric/Steel, Piercing Glare*
+40 Atk, +30 SpAtk +50 Speed

*Piercing Glare: Lowers opponent's Atk -2, SpAtk -1, Speed -1 (basically an upgraded Intimidate)

Staraptor: Fighting/Flying, No Guard
+50 Atk +10 Def, +10 SpDef, +75 Speed
Give it Bulk Up, Double Kick, Superpower

Torterra: Grass/Ground, Titanic*
+40 Atk, +40 Def, +10 SpAtk, +40 SpDef
Give it Fissure, Shell Smash, Drill Run, Leaf Tornado
*Titanic: Halves all damage received except from Ice (a la the Titanic ship)

Infernape: Fire/Fighting, Scrappy
+50 Atk, +50 SpAtk, +80 Speed
Give it Drain Punch

Empoleon: Water/Steel, Ego Boost*
+20 Atk, +20 Def, +30 SpAtk, +20 SpDef
Give it Drill Run
*Ego Boost: when hit with a Super Effective move, increase all Stats by +2

Gliscor: Steel/Flying, Pinpoint*
+30 Atk, +30 Def, +30 SpDef +35 Speed
Give it Bullet Punch, Iron Head
*Pinpoint: Triples chances of landing Critical Hits

Excadrill: Ground/Steel, Terra-Forma*
+40 Atk, +10 Def, +50 Speed
Give it Iron Head naturally
*Terra-Forma: Ground, Steel, and Rock moves become 2x

Beartic: Ice/Steel, Heatproof
+40 Atk, +30 SpAtk, +40 Speed
Give it Crush Claw, Hammer Arm, Ice Shard. Ice Punch and Avalanche naturally,

Braviary: Fighting/Flying, Fighting Spirit*
+50 Atk, +20 Def, +20 SpDef, +40 Speed
Give it Close Combat, Detect, Flying Press
*Fighting Spirit: When HP is down to 1/3 or less, Fighting-type moves gain 1.5x

There are probably more that I'd like to post but I'm getting tired, so I'll stop there for now.

 

[BlackButterfree]

Luxray, Butterfree, Roserade, Crobat, Milotic, Florges, Flygon, Zoroark for starters. I also think that there should be Mega Evolutions for a Pokémon relating to each main character of the anime:

Ash - Raichu (Because of Pikachu)
Misty - Togekiss (Because of Togepi)
Brock - Ninetails (Because of Vulpix)
Meowth - Persian
Jessie - Arbok
James - Weezing
Tracey - Azumarill
May - Delcatty
Max - Jirachi (the obvious choice would be Gallade or Gardevoir in repsonse to the Ralts he promised he'd catch, but... Yeah.)[Jirachi because of the 7th movie]
Dawn - Empoleon (Because of Piplup) or Pachirisu
Iris - Dragonite or Haxorus (Because of Axew)
Cilan - Crustle or Simisage (Because of Pansage)
Clemont - Diggersby (Because Luxray is mentioned above, and Diggersby would be a parallel to Lopunny)
Bonnie - Dedenne
Serena - Delphox (Because of Braixen)

 

[Isaac Gravity]

Milotic, Flygon, Shiftry, Tropius, Claydol, Hydreigon, Luxray, Mienshao, Floatzel, Staraptor, Golurk (What? Let's make the Automaton a bonafide super robot), Alomomola (personally not a fan but it's admittedly a good supporter in the competitive scene), Starmie, Arbok, Hitmon-trio, Machamp, the remaining starters (Kalos gets first dibs. Their gen after all).

Meh, there's a lot of monsters that could appreciate the boost and possibilities created from Mega Evo, these guys were at the top of my head.

 

[Zeb]

Luxray: +120
Staraptor: +145
Torterra: +130
Infernape: +180
Empoleon: +90
Gliscor: +125
Excadrill: +100
Beartic: +110
Braviary: +130

Megas only add +100 points total. Some like Beedrill (+70 Speed, +60 Attack, -30 Sp.Atk), etc remove from another stat to use so they don't go over the +100 limit in a fashion. Most of your ideas are adding 100+ with no drawback (removing from another stat).

That being said, I do like Braviary being Fighting/Flying. I'd probably keep it slower and bulkier so it doesn't encroach on Hawlucha's territory, which I imagine will stay fast.

And I do very much agree that Luxray deserves a Mega. It's a bit of an oddball as far as Electric-types go - not being fast at all - so I'd like to see what Game Freak would do with its Mega.

 

[Aezuica]

Dunsparce is a Generation II Pokémon, actually.

Heh, my bad. I knew Dunsparce was in that very early generation, but I didn't have the time(literally) to check it. At least I was somewhat close.

 

[CynthiaLover]

Luxray: +120
Staraptor: +145
Torterra: +130
Infernape: +180

Whoops, never realized that was the case. Probably because I don't notice/care about stuff like that at times. Thanks for catching that and telling me. Guess it makes sense, since Mega Evolution is temporary, so too much of a power boost would get out of hand (although M-Rayquaza is a whole other story, even if the boost is the same, it did get a tier of it's own I hear).

 

[Mitchman]

I'm gonna go with some out there's instead of the normal ones I usual want(Golurk, Luxray, Flygon etc):
Mega Fearow- Type stays the same, speed and attack get a boost. I dunno what ability to give it.
Mega Gliscor- Types stays the same, and it gets poison touch as an ability. Time to get rekt!
Mega Chandelure- Type stays the same, special defense and defense get a raise, competitive as an ability. Why? To keep you on your toes, that's why!
Mega Sudowoodo- Rock/Grass type, HP and defense get a boost, with speed taking a hit. Dry Skin as an ability, Sudowoodo now loves water instead of hating it.
Mega Staraptor- Steel Flying, keeps reckless. Dunno about the stats.
Mega Sunflora- Grass/Fire, is basically the craziest new mega, a surprise hit.


I have more out there ideas if anyone wants em.

 

[~ Blazing White Yang]

Ledian. +80 Attack, +20 Speed. Iron Fist as an Ability, like how Blaziken's Speed Boost transfers over from being a HA.

It serves no real purpose on base Ledian with that 35 Attack Stat, but it gets a-lot of Punching moves that could see more usage in a Mega Evolution. Game Freak pls.

 

[Silverwynde]

Gee, how am I going to answer this one? (As if everyone couldn't figure it out...)

I'd love nothing more than to see Golurk get a Mega. The big guy deserves one and it could make him viable for the metagame. Personally, I'd love it if he got Ghost/Steel with Levitate, but I'll take pretty much anything at this point. I'd also love to see Bisharp and Sawk get the Mega treatment as well; Bisharp could remain the same while Sawk could possibly get a half Steel typing to give it a boost versus Fairies.

The first two I can see happening. Mega Sawk probably never will, as much as I'd love to see it. I'm the only human being out there who loves Sawk, so it'll probably never get a Mega. =/

 

[Venus8]

I would love to see some of the Eeveelutions have megas, but I have a feeling it will never happen.

Mega Flygon would be awesome, too.

 

[Jersey Jimmy]

Obviously Mega Flygon, but... since we already got Mega Sableye, why not Mega Spiritomb? Now, instead of 108 souls, it's made up of 666.

 

[thenerdieststore]

I am gonna say Hypno because he never gets any love lol

 

[Krash]

Sandslash needs some love. SOme much deserved love.
