Is this a bad Pokemon, now?
>>32658818
I mean, it's hardly the best, but it's still got a SHITLOAD of attack and decent bulk. And it remains an excellent typing both for offense and defense.
>>32658818
What happened to it? Could it just not keep up with the power creep?
>>32660039
Priority got nerfed this gen
>>32660039
Sucker Punch and prioirty got nerfed
In addition to pokemon like Scizor, Ferrothorn, Charizard X, and Skarmory resisting its stabs, Gen 7 added Celesteela, Toxapex, A-Marowak (who also resists Thunder Punch, Fire Fang and Focus Punch) and Tapu Fini that can check it reliably
>>32658818
>A rank OU
>bad
>>32660284
Considering that it was banned last gen and it has the highest Attack in the game, being A rank in OU isn't that impressive.
>>32660357
>A rank in OU is bad
>>32660380
No, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying that it's worse than it should be on paper. It's really good with support from Tapu Fini.
>>32660395
But you're agreeing with OP
>>32660357
>>32660380
>"isn't impressive" is the same as "bad"
>seelfags in charge of logic
fucking kill yourself my man
>>32660401
I am OP.
>>32660410
Not that anon, but saying "being A rank in OU isn't that impressive" is pretty fucking retarded. It just means that it's not broken anymore, but it still is one of the best Pokémon in OU.
>>32660410
>>32660435
It's not bad, per se, but worse than it should be. Don't get me wrong, though, it's still one of my favourites.
>>32660418
So...
>A rank in OU is bad
>>32660448
It's not bad, it's just not as good as it would seem (if you don't have Tapu Fini).
shit thread
reeeaaal shit thread
>>32660441
>worse than it should be
What does this even mean? Gengar went to UU and it's not broken there, but it's A rank in OU anyway. It's a fantastic Pokémon.
Talonflame it's a bad Pokémon now, not Mawile.

I was just opening up a discussion about my favourite Pokemon.
>>32660505
>>32660505
>discussion
A shit one.
>>32660505
So you disagreed with yourself?
So the general consensus is that Mega Mawile is a bad Pokemon, then?
>BURASTO'd out of Ubers
Is this a bad Pokemon, now?
>678 attack with no setup other than mega evolving
what the actual fuck
>>32660582
>no held item
It's not as huge as it sounds. Most major legendaries have higher raw power when boosted by Life Orb.
>>32660698
>>32660698
>a form of a regular pokemon with no boosting item and no set up has similar attack to major legendaries holding a boosting item, most of which are in ubers
>it's not as huge as it sounds!!!!!!
Iron Head or Play Rough?
>>32660904
Both.
>>32658818
When did you realize that this Pokemon is literally inspired greatly by BW's Iris?
>>32661409
Okay, so I'm not the only one.
>>32660410
>thinking A rank in OU is anything but impressive
Take your own advice.
>>32660904
play rough
other moveslots are generally better suited toward thunderpunch/your choice of fangs
play rough hits most things hard enough anyway, you don't need iron head
>>32660904
>>32661241
Iron Head is garbage coverage, don't run it.
Sucker Punch and Play Rough are standard. Last two slots can be either Swords Dance + Knock Off or Thunder Punch + Fire Fang. There's also more gimmicky stuff like Focus Punch and Stealth Rock.
>>32661519
Metal Burst is good on Mega Mawile.
>>32660698
Life Orb is so stupid.
>>32658818
Mawile-M even Mawile will never be a bad, best and cutest mon.
>>32663774
True that.
>>32660830
>no bulk
>no speed
>>32661409
>>32661464
I want to know if all Megas are supposed to be based on something else. I noticed Mega Aerodactyl looks like a Rath ages ago, and I saw some shit on /m/ comparing Mega Pinsir to some Kamen Rider hyper mode.
