Can someone explain to me why this is allowed? This is literally a fakemon tier stat distribution. Hell, even most fakemon aren't THIS blatant.
Because Beedrill was shit and needed something like that to save it.
>>32015319
Beedrill was such a shitmon that they had to minmax and take points out of its Special Attack to bypass the +100 BST limit for Megas.
Because beedrill needed to be revived

>>32015367
See, this here is justified because Deoxys is a legendary and thus supposed to be overpowered and broken.
Beedrill has no such justification.

>>32015375
Mega Beedrill has a shallow movepool and the opportunity cost of using another Mega
>>32015367
I wonder how smart GF felt when they invented Sucker Punch the very next gen.
>>32015382
Post Kartana
>>32015410
This is fairly allowed, the stats are balanced by the fact that its moveset is shit.
>>32015375
>it's okay for legendaries to have ridiculous stat distros
>but not mega-evolutions which are meant to be similar
>>32015375
>legendary and thus supposed to be overpowered and broken
tell that to the majority of legendaries, i don't think they got the memo
>>32015436
plus literally an incinerate from a geodude will kill it
200 SpA Geodude Incinerate vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kartana: 260-308 (100.3 - 118.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
>>32015436
>smart strike
>leaf blade
>sacred sword
>shit coverage
what actually balances out kartana is that special defense and the 4X weakness to fire
It was stated in an interview that Megas are supposed to have power on par with legendaries.
>>32015319
how is it doing in ou?
>>32015375
Those aren't Beedrill's stats though.
>>32015530
its getting shit on by mega mawile
Is there any reason to use m-beedrill when you could use pheromosa which is more versatile and doesn't take up your mega slot
>>32015601
Knock-Off can be useful sometimes, and having perfect accuracy STABs can be more reliable than High Jump Miss.
>>32015601
Beedrill doesn't get wrecked but tapus and marowak
>>32015601
drill run
>>32015601
Mega Beedrill has a better design
>>32015601
in the fairy meta poison is a better secondary typing than fighting

But a STAB All out pummeling from Blast or Jump Kick will nuke just about anything, then give you a boost

>he will never get a mega bumping both defenses to 255 with the rest split between attacks
>he will never have a mega with Filter as its ability
>>32018444

>Not Stance Change
>>32018444
mega would be shit on shuckle unless his ability was fantastic since he's pretty item dependent
>>32015375
Mega Beedrill is not broken whatsoever.
>>32018933
Even if it was auto Trick Room?
>>32018942
that would hardly help shuckle himself, though it would finally make trick room teams not shit
>>32015319
GOOD STAT DISTRIBUTION?
NOT ON MY WATCH
>>32018950
quality post, faggot
>>32018950
not bad, sp. attack really needed to be switched with defense tho
>beedrill is banned to OU when it was usable in UU last gen
Why would they do this?
>>32019040
No longer needs to carry Protect.
>>32019040
It was buffed massively indirectly
>Fell Stinger can actually revenge kill stuff and gives +3
>Speed buff from mega is instant
>>32018447
Stance Change Mega Shuckle on a Doubles team with Speed Swap Pheromosa
>>32019040
It just starts from OU this gen. It'll eventually drop to UU.
>>32019098
I can already see the set.

if Weedle could learn Hidden Power, HP Fire Specs Weedle would be a hard counter to Kartana. You can distribute its EVs so that it survives all of its moves and can OHKO it.
>>32019693
There is no way Weedle can live a +2 Smart Strike
does rayquaza's stat distribution get anyone else's dick hard
even the non mega form is so unapologetically EXTREEEEME
>>32020068
This is without boosts though.
252 Atk Kartana Smart Strike vs. 252 HP / 152+ Def Weedle: 237-279 (83.4 - 98.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
100 SpA Choice Specs Weedle Hidden Power Fire vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Kartana: 264-312 (101.9 - 120.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
It's more of a check I guess, and one that assumes you can take a hit and U-turn/Volt Switch/Baton Pass into Weedle.
>>32015436
>181 attack
I fucking hate UB
>All the Gen III and Gen VII fags who think every Pokemon should be a mixed attacker with frail defences and average speed
>>32019682
what mon is that?
>>32020098
it's actually a pretty shitty distribtion, it's just that its BST are through the fucking roof
>>32020121
you could use it to revenge kill it since who the fuck is gonna expect weedle to kill you
>>32021129
I'm guessing Sunflora, or Sunkern, off the top of my head.
I know for certain Spinda's is 360 total BST (lawl, get it?)
>>32015319

Please go kys
>>32020173
Stay mad
>>32021406
Nu-male is mad?
>>32015601
you can use what's basically two pheromosa on the same team and spam u-turn
Are we just posting random BSTs now?
>>32021815
Yep
>>32015601
Its STAB moves hit harder and it doesn't get buttfucked by Toxapex.
>>32021558
Nah, just this one has been posted already.
>>32015436
no, and choice scarf kartana is fucking cancer
>>32019087
>100 BP Fell Stinger
Holy shit, I want to use Mega Beedrill now.
>>32019087
>>Fell Stinger can actually revenge kill stuff and gives +3
Stop it with this Showderp tier meme.

>don't make new megas

do you think they'll top mega rayquaza's horseshit with primal Arceus?
they really need to counter the power creep going on since gen 6 (arguably 5)
