Thoughts and Speculation regarding new Mega Evos.

Best Mega?

If I were to determine this purely off of base stats, I'd have to say Mega Salamence, hands down. But... Let's take a look at these stats, shall we?

Audino-M Stats: 103/60/126/80/126/50 (0/0/+40/+20/+40/0) [Healer]


So now that we have that out of the way, let's separate them into groups, dependant on what they are meant to be (I.E Walls, Sweepers, Etc.)

Walls:

Steelix-M
Slowbro-M
Metagross-M (Debateable)
Audino-M
Saybleye-M

Let's break this down, first and foremost.

Steelix-M I feel has a somewhat awquard stat distribution. A lot of his potential is dumped straight into Defense, and that in of itself is not a very good thing. Look at Aggron-M, that was wasted potential. At this point, Aggron-M's only purpose is to set up Stealth Rock and Spikes and Roar the hell out of the opponent. Steelix-M, I feel, is going to go down that same road.

Slowbro-M. This thing looks like a complete monster to just sit there and never die. While losing one of the best abilities in the game, Regenerator, it has a whopping 180/80/95 in defensive slots, all things considered. Slowbro-M also gains Shel Armor, witch is not all that bad if you ask me. Set up those Calm Minds, Amnesias, and nothing you can throw at it will break through by luck alone. All and all, while not improving on it a whole lot, it was still a great choice for a wall before this, and will continue to be an amazing wall.

I'm going to leave out Metagross here, as I'd like to talk about that in another section.

Audino-M to me is kinda pointless. I saw it, first thought that ran through my mind is, 'How much EXP am I going to get from beating this thing?'

Crude jokes aside, Audino-M could be considered an offensive Pokémon, but I don't consider it offensive at all. In fact, it would probably be better to use this as a wall, or better yet, not use it at all. I don't think Audino-M is all that good, but... Let's see if the games prove me wrong.

Sweepers/Offensive.

Sceptile-M
Swampert-M
Sharpedo-M
Camperupt-M
Glalie-M
Lopuny-M
Gallade-M

Let's begin.

Sceptile-M seems rather good to me, as a mixed attacker. Pop a Leaf Storm on him... You know, the usual. Though, I can't seem to think of how he has Lightingrod as an ability... Let's ignore that. While also gaining a great type combination, he is a formidable mega, and is one to be feared and considered on a team.

Swampert-M, like Sceptile-M, seems rather good to me. Nice'n STAB Hammer Arm, Waterfall, things of the like. All and all, not an overly amazing mega, but not terrible, by all means.

Sharpedo-M doesn't seem all that bad, either. His ability is rather pointless though, because... Well, he only gets Crunch and Ice Fang. Moving on, he has decent Attack and speed. Again, I'm not really expecting much from this, but hey, the games can prove me wrong.

Camperupt-M I think has potential. With his Sheer Force ability, a whole bunch of his moves are boosted, along with a nice 120/145. Although not having the greatest defensive typing or speed, I still think it can be formed into something formidable easily.

Glalie-M seems quite good to me, honestly. A nice 120/120/100 in attacking stats along with Refrigerate... Yeah, just think Explosion and you will understand me completely.

Lopuny-M in my opinion is the least worried about mega (Right Above Audino) but reall,y this thing can cause some serious damage to your team. A whopping 135/135 in Speed and Attack, combined with a movepool the size of Texas, this is something you can't mess around with. Saying this is bad is the understatement of the century.

Mixed.

Altaria-M.

This thing is going to be a nice choice. With reasonable bulk and about the best deffensive typing, this thing can take hits. Not to mention dish them out, with a reasonable and balanced stat distribution, this thing is going to be a serious threat in the near future. In the right hands, It can be a monster.

Now, onto th ones I did not mention. The ones, in my opinion, are the best.

Metagross-M
Salamence-M
Beedrill-M

Now, let's start with Metagross-M. I see in this thing a lot of potential. While I think his Tough Claws ability is kind of pointless, I'll roll with it for now. With great defensive typing, Metagross-M is a threat from all sides, Being able to take hits, dish them out, then rinse and repeat. Metagross in and of itself is a threat, but now... Now... This thing is a monster.

Now, alright, onto these two...

Salamence-M. I looked at his stats and died. I have no words, let me formulate some.

Alright, here we are. 95/130/90. Someone get me the kid who thought it was a good idea to make Salamence-M's defence 130. Like, holy crap. Wether you want it or not, this thing is getting a Dragon Dance up. Speaking of boosted stats...

145/120/120.

Holy crap, what the hell just happened.

Your telling me, this thing, this DRAGON TYPE has stats comparable to Deyoxis-Attack? Are you kidding me? You gave him Arialate too. Pop Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Double Edge, and you got yourself a monster that can't be stopped. I'll bet money this thing is going straight to Ubers.

Beedrill-M. Now, we got Beedrill here. Little ol' irrelevant beedrill... Bam, we now have a god damn mega who is going to ruin your life. This thing is on steriods, Literaly. 150/145 in speed and Attack? Swords Dance? Oh, great, it has adaptability too. Like. Why? Poison Jab, X-Scissor... Might want to pop on Drill Run just to be an ass to Steel types...

So yeah, these are my thoughts and speculations on the current Mega Evos.
