What do you think about the rankings for ORAS megas?

Personally, I agree with them. I do think that there are many mega Pokémon that are hard to cover, like Mega Metagross, Mega Lopunny, Mega Diancie, Mega Heracross, but nothing's really super hard to manage. But then again, it's really hard to have a perfect team in this metagame. You're gonna win some, you're gonna lose some.

 

Mega Heracross is in XY xD. But i understand your point.

I run a M-Beedrill team and i use it to test the members and their team. I run it in Ubers and in almost all my battles. ORAS Megas were a huge change in the metagame, but i get used to it fast and i am having new experiencies not only with M-Beedrill. After M-Salamence ban obviously the metagame changed again on a short amount of time because it was a little maybe very hard to others to counter, and now the competitive game is more open to options.

Maybe some rankings are a little imperfect, sometimes but i like playing and wont be stopping playing for a few things.

 

All of the megas have inflated stats, even the ones who haven't done so well in OU (Mega Audino, Mega Camerupt), so all of the megas look good on paper, which is also why many are in OU. Take Mega Latios as an example. Latios is a better choice with a life orb than Mega Latios because it can deal more damage, so Mega Latios is seen as an underachieving Mega. But the stats of Mega Latios still make it a threatening option, which is why it can't move down. Other Megas like Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Charizard Y seem to not be doing their jobs well, even though they have insanely high stats. They have high potential, but so many players are being able to manage them with proper counters.

Placing these Megas in lower tiers, like UU, would mess up their metagames because these Pokémon are still supposed to be tough to beat. Think about it. If we placed mega-blaziken in OU, would that mess things up? It sure would, because that means more people will have to run Slowbros and Talonflame (priority brave bird) in order to keep up, and others can take advantage of that, creating disorder in the metagame. Megamence would do the same if it is brought back. I would most likely keep a mamoswine, weavile, or unaware clefable on my team in order to avoid being swept by that monster.

Disorder is not liked by the competitive community, so currently, it is best to keep the tiers the way they are as they are not too chaotic at the moment.


I hope you understand what I'm trying to say lol
