Well, bros. It's in OU now.

Will it be banned after a while? Or is now more manageable with the influx of this gens power speed/creep, P-Terrain, and Toxapex?

It's definitely just past the cusp of "strong to the point of degeneracy", I want to say we'll see a ban soon but it'll likely drag on for a really long time.

It can still efficiently brute force past everything that might wall it, however now its more susceptible to revenge than before. Honestly i'd still ban it

3v3 is very different from 6v6. Aegi and MegaMence aren't broken there. Lele is by far and away the most cancerous mon in BSS atm, Psychic Terrain is bullshit.

>Muh competitive argument

Okay, look. Again, your shitmon can only kill if:

-Megamence has never mega evolved
-Salamence isn't currently on the field when you send out Milotic
-Milotic hasn't taken any damage during the entire fight
-Someone is stupid enough keep in Salamence after they see the Competitive boost and fail to make the basic deduction that nearly every water type carries an ice move

Oh and if Mence attacks instead of boosting when expecting the milotic then he 2hKOs anyways.
>>
>>32008338
>Implying people run no bulk on Salamence

Anyone competent runs it at 44 HP. At that, Milotic can't KO it.

>>32008363

>>
>>32008384
I assume MixMence runs this. Still, saying Mega Mence isn't broken on any format is downright retarded.
>>
>>32008387
Okay, but luckily everyone with a brain does. :^) Plus, you set it at a -Sp. Def nature, which literally nobody uses
>>
>>32008387
You write fanfics in where your waifu not only counters Mega Salamance but apparently renders him non-broken though.
>>
>>32008394
Yeah, I guess it beats the five players in the world that run mixed MegaMence then.
>>
>>32008411
>4v4 doubles is fanfiction meta

you are wrong in both regards, I only ship milotic with serperior

>>32008475
What? Didn't you go through this thread?
>>
>>32008506
the only retards I see are the people that think a competitive milotic lead can't force a mence to switch out
>>
>>32008532

>>32008384
>>
>>32008532
Epic samefag dude
Even so, bam, you force a switch with your lead, making a big presumption that they'll lead with megamence. Now what? Unless your shitty snake can sweep both of the opponent's other Pokemon without taking damage, Salamence can still steamroll your weakened Milotic and/or the rest of your team.
>>
>>32008532
It forces switches only if you know they have that ebin -spdef set anon
>>
>>32008532
First of all nobody said Milotic cannot force Mence out, just that it isn't a counter and even then it's a very shaky check.
Second of all saying Mega Mence isn't broken because of a very specific check is fucking stupid. The fucker is physically bulkier than some dedicated walls and deals an insane amount of damage with very spammable attacks and has enough coverage to be downright unwallable. In an imaginary VGC 2017 where MegaMence is allowed if Milotic was everywhere to check it then a lot of Mences would prolly start running Moxie as to not trigger Competitive/Adrenaline Orb which in turn would make your check fucking useless in stopping it (assuming the Mence has a way to redirect Ice Beams like Follow Me).
Point is Mence is broken in every meta, it was fucking S tier in ubers last gen and I doubt this gen changed much in ubers.

>more manageable because toxapex

>mega mawile used thunder punch
>>
>>32008662
who the fuck runs thunderpunch mawile?
>>
>>32008705

Mawile will for toxapex

It's not like it NEEDS some other move in the fourth slot anyways. Sucker pucnh, play rough, and iron head do the trick, the last move is just coverage for most mawile
>>
>>32008763
It really needs fire fang though
>>
>>32008771
for what
ferrothorn?
>>
>>32008800
double dubs of truth. is ferrothorn still used? i'd imagine with HJK Pheromosa being OU queen now it fell to UU
>>
>>32008800
>>32008808
Ferrothorn is rather widely used, actually.
>>
>>32008813
how widely used? I don't see it at all. I'm also in ELO hell if that affects anything
>>
>>32008808
Ferro is still pretty common. But it doesn't really threaten Mawile back that much so Mawile could use SD+ Knock off to beat it.
>>
>>32008771
Well you would need to pick between thunderpunch and firefang depending on your team composition. If your team is toxapex weak go with thunderpunch.

>>32008808
>ferrothorn used protect
>pheromosa kept going and crashed
>>
>>32008817
Pretty frequently in higher elo, to the point where every Mawile runs fire fang.

desu I'm just a 1400 who spectates good people but that's what I've seen
>>
>>32008817
that explains it thoroughly

>>32008818
ferro will seed+iron barbs it down

t-punch is great for luring in t-pex as its MUCH harder to whittle then what fire fang hits
>>
>>32008808
ferro got a great tanking buddy in toxapex, which walls shit like pheromosa effortlessly
if anything he got better
>>
>>32008661
MegaMence is really not as good as you try and make him out to be in the official formats, otherwise he would have been everywhere in VGC 2015 and he would be the undisputed King of Battlespot, but this is far from being the case.

You mention Ubers, a fanmade teir which uses the 6v6 format which allows you to cover for all of Mences weaknesses and thus allow him many opportunities to go and wreck, but you can't do that in 4v4 and 3v3, especially in 3v3, mons have far less support and they have to be able to stand on their own because they'll be facing a hell of alot more unfavourable match ups than they would in 6v6 due to having less teammates along with the reduced amounts of switching(this is why Stall doesn't work in the official formats), and there are more than a few mons who are better at doing that job than MegaMence, Garchomp for one, who has outclassed MegaMence in Battlespot since it first began.

MegaMence is strong, one of the best megas for sure, that I agree with, but broken in every format? Nope, that I heavily disagree with, he just doesn't have the necessary back up. Like another anon said earlier, the only mon who could possibly fall under being broken in the official meta atm is Tapu Lele. She has warped the meta entirely around her and her bullshit terrain and has fucked over alot of mons in the process, Mega Gengar probably being the biggest casualty (though losing Levitate, the prevalence of Scarfchomp and the nerf to Destiny Bond played a part in Gengars fall desu). I can't wait until shes nerfed in Gen 8, not even Mega Kanga was this bad ffs.
