So am I better off just never attacking and using a set like

>>31209883
A better option is to not use this pokemon because it is garbage

>>31209900
Just wait until mega meganium gets fairy typing and grass surge

>>31209929

Knowing game freak that may genuinely never happen. I don't even trust those idiots to make new megas at all. They might just not do it

If you want to be a pussy, do it right.

Pokemon : Toxapex
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Timber

Recover
Toxic
Poison Jab
Infestation

You could probably replace Poison Jab with something else.

To be honest with there's not really a lot you can do with Meganium since it is heavily outclassed by almost every single Grass type in the game.

Generally you want to run at least one attacking move here, so Giga Drain for extra recovery or Dragon Tail for phasing. You can also run Sub for Leech/Sub trickery but you'll mostly likely never get anything done with it since Meganium is so slow.

If you want to go for ultra gimmick put this on YT for click bait shit you can run a Swords Dance sweeper set similar to some other grass mons, but good fucking luck.

Generally though defensive with a calm or careful nature with 252 in the respective stat and HP combined with aromatherapy on the set is usually as good as it's gonna get.

>heavily outclassed by almost every single Grass type in the game.

It's not fair. How did this happen? 530 battle and six entire generations of being shit. Hidden abilities didn't help. A new type didn't help. None of the meta changes helped. No new attacks or formats helped. Why does it need to be this way? Meganium doesn't even have one single niche.

Because Gamefreak forgot about it since it wasn't even a remote popular starter at all. It is the victim of the sloe bulky weird stat spread shit that GF was notorious for.

Its biggest hope is that FU is made a tier in Gen 7 so it can have somewhere that it isn't heavily outclasses by anything.

What's FU stand for?

>>31210133
Forgot to Use.

It's a tier for Pokemon who are already extremely bad in PU, the lowest "official" tier endorsed by Smogon. Basically it is Pokémon who are used the least due to how bad they are.

i gen 2 it's pre good

You need an attacking move otherwise you become setup fodder

>>31210221

How much can you really set up with leech seed and toxic on you anyways?

>>31209929
Literally never happening. Johto is the most cucked region of all. There might've been one if megas were around during HGSS but they weren't. It's not likely we'll ever get new megas again. If it didn't get a mega in gen 6, don't count on it ever getting one.
