So how do you think mega buzzbuzz will fair in this new meta

Even if they keep Protect in the moveset, Beedrill is still better because you can do whatever you want on the first turn.

>>31810181
I still want it to get Gunk Shot especially with the changed animation.

>>31810181

not worth it whatsoever, pheromosa is much better and even pheromosa isn't fairing too well anymore. People realized that bug is a terrible stab that gets resisted by just about everything and pheromosa gets walled too easy.

I think it'll be interesting to see how much of an effect it has on other mons. The comparisons to Pheromosa are there; Beedrill's slower, lacks HJK, can't use Ice Beam, no Beast Boost, but it DOES have a much stronger Poison Jab. Removing Fini might make it relevant.

There's also the fact that it'd need to run Jolly to outspeed Koko and Ash-Greninja. This means that it'd also outspeed Adamant Pheromosa, who might be forced to run Jolly and lose its offensive Beast Boosts.

Using the Mega slot when Metagross is an option is a point against Beedrill. Knock Off and Drill Run are points in favour. Pheromosa's usual answers get dunked on by Beedrill's coverage.

It's hard to say. It'll either see no use at all, have a niche but fall to UU eventually, or be really solid in OU, and give Pheromosa stiff competition.

Mega Buzzbuzz has the stats to really hurt every tapu. It'll be a staple for checking fini, bulu, and koko. Lele is potentially safe with choice scarf but even then

The only difference is Beedrill has adaptability Poison Jab, which dunks super hard on everything that walls Pheromosa. Drill Run also hits everything else that walls Pheromosa, like Toxapex.

Couldn't you at least bother explaining why the fuck do you keep posting Barnyard images all over the board?

U- turn, fell stinger, poison jab, drill run/knock off; it will be punishing

Wanna know something sad? I thought that mega bee would be the solution to the most cancerous thing I've seen in OU in years. Tapu Lele.
>252 Atk Adaptability Beedrill-Mega Poison Jab vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Tapu Lele: 492-580 (175 - 206.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Unfortunately even when Beedrill is jolly and Lele is modest Lele still outspeeds with scarf by 6.5 points.

So is the mega stone out yet? I signed up

M-Beedrill is not bad, but there is no reason to use it in OU.
It's opportunity cost is way too high since by putting it in your team you are giving up the possibility to use both a better mega and Pheromosa
