What kind of Megas should Dragonite, Hydreigon, Goodra, and Kommo-o get to be worth using Mega on but not be broken?

Dragonite gets drizzle

Dragonite should get a mega Water/Dragon.

HP: 91 -> 91 (+0)
Atk: 134 -> 164 (+30)
Def: 95 -> 105 (+10)
SpA:100 -> 120 (+20)
SpD: 100 -> 105 (+5)
Spe: 80 -> 115 (+35)

Abilites could be Drizzle, Multi-scale, Magic Guard, Levitate, Marvel Sclae, or Aeraliate for E-Speed coverage.
>>
>>32442514
The others sound good, but Kommo-o getting Mold Breaker doesn't seem like enough unless its stats get major Atk/SpAtk boosts.

>>32442528
Maybe they'll give it some ulterior means of Mega Evolution like how Rayquaza learns a move and doesn't have a named stone after it.
>>
>>32442578
>Any -ate ability with Extreme Speed
Oh god no, my asshole can only take so much.

-Ate abilities were the biggest mistake in gen 6, and they had a lot.
>>
>>32442578
I feel like Water/Dragon with Dragonite's coverage would get it banned. It has Fire and Fighting coverage for stuff like Ferrothorn and Electric coverage for stuff like Azumarill.

Maybe this has to do with why they're taking so long to give it a Mega, it has Gen 1 movepool power.

So Liquidate?

>those offenses

So its Mega Lucario except with bulk and one of the most defensive typings in the game and also ExtremeSpeed that can hit anything bar Water Absorb/Dry Skin users WHILE also having Dragon Dance, Agility, Hurricane, and Thunder?

Are you really this dumb?

Both of them get the same ability. Fairy Duster: Absorbs all fairy type attacks, while allowing Dragon attacks to hit super effective on Fairies.

Dragonite gets contrary. Devil's advocate can work as a pun with its snake origins.

Goodra with cloud nine or Regenerator would be dangerous as fuck in VGC and singles, seriously cloud nine Goodra would be insane in VGC.

Kommo-O is awkward as fuck, I'd go with filter or shell armor,heck intimidate would be great if they decide to buff its defences to a point they are actually useful, he needs a movepool more than a good ability.

Hydreigon needs mega launcher, or contrary to become a juggernaut.

Seriously contrary works really well with dragonite and hydreigon lore and designs.
>>
>>32442578
As much as representing the evolution line in the mega evolution works for metagross and Tyranitar it looks fucking retarded on dragonite.

Seriously that stupid snake that is dragonair is such a sore link in its evolution...also WTF is going on with those orbs? In the myth the stupid snake has to eat one to become a dragon, so why on earth it puked 3?

For the record, the number of claws a dragon has determined its rank, 3 means it's mediocre... What a fucking mess of a design that is.

Mega Launcher Hydreigon makes a lot of sense strictly looking at its pulse move capabilities.

Dragon Pulse becomes only 2.5 points weaker than Draco for no other downside. And it has Dark Pulse of course.

>>
>>32442472
Goodra: Regenerator
Dragonite: It can keepMultiscale. Gale Wings would've been good on it but it's a trash ability now.
Kommo-o: Sheer Force or Multiscale
Hydreigon: Maybe some special version of Moxie if one doesn't already exist
>>
>>32442863
If they didn't, they wouldn't have done stuff like nerf sleep effectiveness, Parental Bond, priority, burn, etc.
>>
>>32442842
>Mega Launcher Hydreigon makes a lot of sense strictly looking at its pulse move capabilities.

Also it would be a nice callback to Hydreigon's original concept which was stated in an interview

>Originally, according to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Hydreigon and its pre-evolutions were intended to be cybernetic dragons incorporating aspects of tanks within their bodies before being redesigned around the theme of Yamata no Orochi. The tank track-like markings on Hydreigon's body are a remnant of this design.
>>

Oh that's perfect. I hope they go that route for sure then.

I don't know what to make of it. Seems tanky enough to be able to pull off a lot of setup, but offensively I feel like it'd end up walled by something Steel if it does.

In theory, it becomes a hard-hitting tank that can serve well as either a constant switch-in threat, or else a fallback to take whatever hit you really don't want something else to take. It can slightly better use its physical movepool, which lets it pick from either Sap Sipper, to eat a powder when it first switches in, or else Gooey to slow the thing it swaps into.
>>

If it change fight for steel its shouldn't have multiscale

Dragon/Flying, +60 Atk (!),+20 Sp. Atk/Sp. Def, Gale Wings
This'd be broken in Gen VI. Insidious on Rain teams due to priority Hurricane.
I considered Dragon/Water @ Drizzle, but that gives it a 90 BP priority move in Aqua Jet, an Outrage-level STAB with no drawbacks whatsoever in Waterfall, and neat Special coverage options in Hurricane and Thunder. Not sure how that doesn't get banned.
>Hydreigon
+20 Atk, +20 Def, +40 Sp. Atk, + 20 Sp. Def, Mega Launcher
I'd personally love to see a Contrary Mega Hydreigon with a slight speed boost, just for how badly it'd fuck up Ubers.

>hard-hitting
For reference, that's only slightly stronger (2.3 points at level 100) than Life Orb Butterfree.
>>
>>32442974
Why the flying fuck would it get multiscale when it has no recovery?
>>

Not him but I've never thought of this. I actually like that more than some other bullshit names people have tried to come up with.
>>
>>32443367
It still gets the absolute highest Attack stat in the game, returning to it the throne it held in Gen I. And I meant Gale Wings to reference its Gen I 'dex entries that talked about it being able to circumnavigate the globe in less than 12 hours or something like that. Besides, it doesn't break its own Gale Wings when using its best Flying-type moves so it's already got that over Talonflame.
>>
>>32443001
>Walled by steel type
It's part fighting, bro. Only steel types walling it are Doublade, Mawile, and Klefki.

I still think corrosion seviper is dumb. I know it's to screw with zangoose's new poison typing, but it's just bad on a speedy mixed attacker who values coverage and gets earthquake + flamethrower. Most of the other stuff is good.

Contrary Dragonite and Hydreigon do fit Devil's advocate flavorwise.

Hydreigon gets to abuse both superpower and Draco Meteor, think of it as a wallbreaker if it drops base speed.

Contrary dragonite can't fully rely on dragon dance but needs to stack those d Meteor, if it keeps base 80 speed he wouldn't be as threatening. Seriously the myth of the snake eating the dragon gem fits contrary a lot.
>>
>>32444750
Both Hydreigon and Dragonite learn Tailwind via tutors, so their Megas could easily pull off Contrary sweeps if they wanted anyway.
And Contrary fits Hydreigon super-well if you go by the hydra themes it has. Cut off one head, two more take its place and all that.

>>32442974

STOP DOING THIS

IT DOESN'T WORK

>>32445472
You're retarded. It has mega scizor bulk with dragon dance.
>>
>>32442784
Dragonair is a pretty natural progression of Dratini. Dragonite is the sore link in the line. Looks nothing like its predecessors.

As far as this claw rule that Pokemon has never mentioned or followed, Dragonite also has three claws. It's the same amount.
>>
>>32445489
Not that guy but Mega-Scizor actually has a good typing
>>
>>32445633
What's wrong with Dragon/Steel? It still lacks Mega Scizor's recovery and priority, though,
so that's a whole different issue.
>>
>>32445573
>Dragonair is a pretty natural progression of Dratini. Dragonite is the sore link in the line. Looks nothing like its predecessors.

Following the normal RBY sprites the lack of underbelly pattern actually puts dragonair as the odd one.

In the myth the snake ate a dragon gem to become an actual dragon, giving a bunch of pets to a dragonite and making him snakelike and Blue is just retarded.

Heck those 3 gems make him look like a fucking Neopet of all things.

>As far as this claw rule that Pokemon has never mentioned or followed, Dragonite also has three claws. It's the same amount.

It's a Chinese thing, having dragonite boast 3 gems along having 3 claws on each claw means he is actually downgraded from a dragon, you should aim for no gems and only 2 claws to improve him.

People where actually killed in the past for wearing the wrong dragon in their wear in old China, it was quite a big deal, the gem means it isn't a true dragon BTW, that's the whole point of Dratini becomes Dragonair once it gets the gem and then evolves into a true Dragon once it consumes and loses the gem.
