Some are decent, but nowhere close to their past power, and the loss of Mega has left most UU tier or worse with the few exceptions like Mewtwo and Rayquaza, others however are stuck in HOME.... in G8 though we have Alakazam, and the Lati twins in UUBL.... but we've seen how Gengar and Garchomp are in G9 so we can't really say these would be OU in the current landscape

With the advent of sharpness, Gallade might actually hit harder than his mega funnily enough. I haven't calculated it or anything, so I don't know for sure, but sharpness is a huge boon for Gallade. Although I admit that the main thing Mega Gallade has over Gallade is higher speed and immunity to intimidate.

Its kinda goofy, but giving Camerupt water absorb would be really fun. As a camel, it being good at taking on and storing water makes thematic sense, and turns a 4x weakness into an immunity, making a slow fire/ground semi-viable. Also, give Lumineon tail glow, because i would love to see that irrelevant fish blow everything apart on rain teams

I wish they'd continue doing the base stat buffs that they did in gen 6/7. Masquerain went from irredeemable shitmon to slightly usable after the increases it got to its special attack and speed. I think ariados in particular could benefit from having some more hp, since it has surprise factor in learning rage powder, despite not really looking like the kind of mon that usually gets rage powder. It would also be cool if it had more than 40 base speed, so it could actually benefit from the like 10 different speed-reducing moves it learns.

Electivire I actually think should get Reckless and some new recoil moves.

TL;DR - Buff Wigglytuff, Meganium, Ampharos, Aggron, Flygon, Roserade, Drapion, Electivire, Magmortar, Dusknoir, Scolipede, Golurk, Golisopod, Grapploct, and Tinkaton Here are the most game-changing ideal buffs in my brain (and some more minor buffs): Wigglytuff - Let’s start by replacing Frisk with Fur Coat (this is the kicker right off the bat), whiling also increase it’s Sp. Atk (85 > 95), and Sp. Def (50 > 70) to support said ability, and finally give it STABs Boomburst and Moonblast Meganium - What’s left to be said about Meganium that hasn’t already been said? Change it’s HA to either Flower Veil or Triage, increase it’s movepool with Pollen Puff, Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Clam Mind, and Wish, and finally increase it’s Sp. Atk (82 > 92) Ampharos - We all know how painfully mediocre Ampharos is, especially without it’s mega so I have a couple of ideas. Give it Electric Surge (and with it comes Rising Voltage) so we can have a Electric Terrain setter that isn’t Pincurchin or Tapu Koko, also give Energy Ball and Flash Cannon for some coverage, maybe give it Milk Drink for reliable recovery, and finally just give it Tail Glow already Aggron - Aggron always struggles, even in regional formats. Half of the reason is coming from it’s /Rock typing but I have work around this, just replace Heavy Metal with Filter/Solid Rock (same thing), and the other half is because of it’s statspread let’s fix that too. Take 25 points from it’s Sp. Atk (60 > 35), move those points to it’s Sp. Def (60 > 80) and HP (70 > 75), and finally increase it’s Atk (110 > 120) and give it Accelerock/Bullet Punch if not both, maybe Shift Gear too or buff Solid Rock itself (to reduced 4x weaknesses by 1.5x or 2/4) if all that isn’t enough. Now it should be a solid pick in regional dex formats at the very least. Flygon - a.k.a. poor man’s Garchomp and always have been, let’s fix that. Let’s start by making it a special attacker (80 > 100), special ground mons are sparse after all. It always only has Levitate and only that but I have two ideas, Sand Rush which would give sand teams a whole new dimension and Tinted Lens which people have been asking for. Also maybe give it Quiver Dance too Roserade - Most of the time it’s a poor man’s Venusaur and even then couldn’t do much on it’s own especially after it lost it’s best Technician tool Hidden Power Fire/Ice, lets fix that. By just giving it Chilling Water (also buff that move from 50 BP > 60 BP), Vacuum Wave, and Draining Kiss. Also make Mega Drain 60 BP like it was in LGPE. Drapion - Increase it’s HP (70 > 80) and replace Keen Eye lol with Tough Claws, and give it Sucker Punch, that’s all I got Electivire - We’re giving these two the Gallade treatment by giving it Iron Fist (and also buffing said ability from 1.2x to 1.3x if not 1.4x), whiling also giving it Drain Punch, Mach Punch, Close Combat, Bulk Up, Knock Off, and maybe even Power Whip and High Horsepower -even if it’s still worse than Pawmot cause Pawmot is strictly better- Magmortar - Same idea as above but with Mega Launcher alongside Armor Cannon, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, and Dragon Pulse to support said ability with Earth Power and Vacuum Wave as bonuses. Dusknoir - Let’s try setting it apart from Dusclops. Take 20 points from it’s Sp. Atk (65 > 45) and then split it for HP (45 > 55) and Atk (100 > 110) respectively, give it Drain Punch and Knock Off which why doesn’t it get those already, and most importantly Strength Sap…….just plz don’t give that last one to Dusclops or we’ll riot. Scolipede- it could use a bit more depth with First Impression and Gunk Shot for better STABs, High Horsepower for single target Ground move, and Fell Stinger for shits and giggles. That’s all tho. Golurk - What it needs more than anything is more bulk. 89/80/80 to 99/90/90 bulk should do the trick for future regional dex formats. Golisopod - Just give it Shell Armor at the very least, maybe Wave Crash and U-Turn/Flip Turn and it’s good to go Grapploct - Again much like Roserade it has little to nothing to abuse Technician with on top of being worse than so many other mono-Fighting types, let’s fix that. Give it Mach Punch and Aqua Jet (if not Jet Punch) for priority, Flip Turn for pivoting, Knock Off and Poison Jab for coverage, Recover for you know, and here’s the kicker Storm Throw (you thought Wicked Blow and Flower Trick are scary? How about Technician boosted Storm Throw) -and plz make it Fighting/Water so that it can actually switch in, plz- Tinkaton - Hear me out, make a Thick Club hammer equivalent for Tinkaton. Even if 1.2x if not 1.3x instead of the usual 1.5x.

I'm so glad that Dusknoir at least got Leech Life now, which it already had in Legends Arceus. Sure it's only effective against psychic, grass and dark types and you might as well use a ghost move on psychic types anyway, but it's a nice option regardless. I'm thinking about trying to make a build with it since I really like it design-wise and want to make it at least usable, if anyone here has used a Dusknoir since the DLC dropped feel free to tell me your experiences. As for Magmortar, it would be awesome if it got Mega Launcher as a hidden ability, and vaccuum wave is a TM now so there's a chance that it might learn it when it returns in the Indigo Disc. Not a pulse move, but still a decent addition.

While of course the easiest solution to buff a Pokemon would be to give it an evolution such as giving one to Scovillain and Kilowattrel since they look like they should evolve but don't, one Pokemon that is in desperate needs for buffs is Sunflora as it's considered the worst Grass type period due to it's pitiful 425 BST where it will die before it can even get off an attack. Probably the way to fix other than giving it an evolution is to make Sunflora a Grass/Fire type so it can gain more resistances, buff and rearrange it's stats so it goes over the 500's BST, a more wider movepool to include more Fire type and support moves and to top it off, replace it's Hidden Ability Early Bird with either Flash Fire or Drought.

Totally agree, only problem was that they immediately gave megas to Pokémon like Charizard, Tyranitar, Salamence, Lucario, and a ton of other Pokémon that had no need for it. When you make strong Pokémon stronger and you can only mega evolve one Pokémon per battle, there is no point in using the weaker Pokémon that got buffed to be more on par with the competitive meta. The concept fundamentally flawed from the beginning for that reason. I could reasonably see mega evolution coming back if they only exclusively gave it to traditionally weak or overlooked Pokémon. But giving it to Pokémon that were already dominating the competitive scene made it an incredibly oppressive gimmick.

@@royalgelly8948 sure, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

But that is just the on the terms of sheer Base Stats. If we’re talking competitively viable Pokémon who only grew stronger, Mega Gengar was introduced in X/Y with a completely unnecessary boost to its stats and a broken ability. With Pokémon like that available, no one would choose to use the weaker Pokémon and the whole point of giving Pokémon these evolutions is rendered moot.

As a certified Banette fan, I have a hot take that Banette's mega should've been handled differently. In some of Banette's dex entries, it's mentioned that their grudge can be satisfied with enough love and care and they'll return to being a doll. Additionally with mega evolution, it's mentioned that a strong bond is required, so I think Banette's mega should've explored that part of its lore. Maybe a ghost-fairy type with better defences and lower speed. Keep the high attack and give it play rough.

I know two different ROM hacks that didn't just make it Grass/Fire. Radical Red just amped up its stats, but Unbound actually gave it a special ability that gives its Grass moves priority. Priority Petal Dance or Seed Flare (which Unbound lets it have) going off 105 Special Attack is pretty strong, especially if you can drop Grassy Terrain on top of that. Priority Synthesis can bail it out of a tough spot, and you can even go for priority Worry Seed to mess with another Pokemon's abilities!

A big draw of why it was so intimidating was the No weakness Dark Ghost type, but with the introduction of Fairy, the dual typing isn’t nearly as powerful as it once was. Now it is just an extremely difficult to get Pokémon with below average stats. Power creep hasn’t treated it well and I’d like to see how it could be improved.

I'm not a competetive player since I prefer "lawless" online battles without tiers so you're free to use what you want if you get what I mean. I got some half-decent results with Spiritomb, and I really want to use it every once in a while since I got a shiny one in Legends Arceus and tried to make it work. It's essentially a poor man's Dusclops without eviolite, I gave it an impish nature, Foul Play, Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Sneak, and Pain Split. I can't tell the specific EVs but I maxed out health, put the rest in defense and special defense and just a _little_ bit in attack to make Shadow Sneak stronger. The reason I'm not running Trick Room is because it's tanky enough to live at least one or two hits, the lower its health the more damage Pain Split will do, and I considered dropping Shadow Snkeak for Night Shade as the fixed damage might be better than a weak priority move in the long run, but I have to do more testing. It's also holding bright powder to have a chance for the opponent to miss, making it live longer. But leftovers are probably better, as I said, I'm still trying to figure things out but I don't want to give it up yet. As one of my favorites a buff would be appreciated regardless, in Spiritomb's defense, _one_ weakness doesn't make it completely awful in my opinion, but its stats could be better.

@@vermillion6159 oh, I’ve made it work in the past on my team in a defensive set. One notable time I was staring down an Iron Valiant that had set up one Swords Dance. I terastalized flying because Ghost, Dark, and flying make up my three favorite types, but that turned what would have been a supereffective Play Rough into a neutral hit and I survived and countered with a Foul Play. Spiritomb certainly isn’t the worst Pokémon competitively, but when we’re talking about a Pokémon that was the center of a massive 108 location quest in LA, is notoriously rare, and has been weakened considerably by the introduction of Fairy, it feels like it is nowhere close to as important as GF seems to think it is.

It already is a bulky support mon but its movepool is mediocre and typing is pretty trash. Grass/fairy may be cool however, but also give it a debilitating weakness to poison and a weakness to steel, only making it neutral to bug and resist fighting and dark and be immune to dragon. I don’t really think alot of these are relevant for it except maybe dragon to switch into stuff and the new weaknesses also make its matchup with other walls like toxapex or corviknight worse I imagine that we should more focus on its movepool. Pollen puff would be ok ish coverage as well as some fairy moves too. Triage also helps as well by letting it heal itself, a teammate, or use +3 priority giga drain or other moves to pick up damage and healing against weakened mons. Draining kiss when paired with triage also sounds nasty. Give it calm mind as well to make it even better. What would probably help alot more though would be prankster. It bypasses its middling speed issue by giving it +1 on every status move. If we were also to break theming then Grass/Poison or Grass/Steel, make better defensive types.

One of the things that I feel like happened is that GF didn't really understand how to do stat spreads at the time of the earlier generations, much to their pokémon's detriment. This is pretty evident in Gen 3, when it seems like every pokémon has a pretty balanced attack and sp attack (like shiftry) and terrible bulk. I actually think that we could do a lot to combat power creep for these kinds of pokémon just by rearranging their stat points a bit to optimize them, without giving them higher stats. Just take some points off here and add them somewhere else. The weirdest thing is that I feel like they were actually pretty good about this in Gen 1 specifically, and then lost the thread in gen 2 and 3, only to turn back up in gen 4 with the physical/special split. In contrast, the longer we've gone on in Pokémon generations, the better GF has gotten at optimizing. Now, we have a bunch of pokémon, who instead of being a jumbled mess of stats, you can take one look at them and see, "Oh, this pokémon falls into x-archetype." Like, "Oh, this is Meowscarada. It's obviously a very fast glass canon." So I don't really blame GF for things occurring this way. I feel like it is just a matter of them finally finding their groove.
@walaceandrade4046

Up to gen 3, each Pokemon pretty much needed to have some points in both Atk and Sp Atk due to the Phys/Special Split not yet existing. Pretty sure that dinamic pigeonholed gamefreak into creating these super balanced mons and took them decades to finally break away from it. Sadly they refuse to adjust these old mons to the new Balance Philosophy.
@wanderingshiren
@wanderingshiren 7 ай бұрын
@walaceandrade4046 I agree in some ways, and disagree in others. Pokémon like Shiftry and Cacturne, Pokémon whose typings both fall under sp atk, should never have had the attack stat that they had. While this makes sense later in their lives when the physical/special split happened (though, I would argue that Shiftry's special sets are better) when they got stab moves that actually coincided with their attack stats. But it would've made more sense at the time just to focus on their stab stat, rather than trying to make something work that would've just never happened. I do think that GF has been too adamant about not actually going back and shifting around stats, like I'd initially recommended. But I was trying to convey that if they did this, I think people wouldn't think Power Creep is as bad as it is in Pokémon. It's just a bunch of poorly designed stat sheets in the gen 2 and gen 3 games that make people think so.

One of my favorite buff ideas has always been giving Leavanny shell smash after it evolves from Swadloon. I like the concept because it's a different take on a shell smasher. Instead of literally smashing a shell or casing, the whole evolution line is based around this shy Pokemon Swadloon figuratively breaking out of its shell and becoming a confident, cheerful Leavanny. Edit: Maybe also swap its Swarm and Chlorophyll abilities with Own Tempo and Dazzling. Both fit the theme of the Pokemon quite well. (Dazzling is Bruxish's signature ability. It protects the Pokemon from priority moves. Shell smash + priority protection is a really cool niche, and I don't think it would be broken on a Pokemon with stats as low as Leavanny)

It would even have a niche because compared to Butterfree because it can actually put grass types to sleep.

Fellow magcargo lover detected. Also I've pondered magcargo buffs for a while and have a few ideas Magma Armor Buff: Makes your partner immune to freeze too. This isn't big but idk how to make it better while keeping it thematic. The idea is the heat radiates to your partner too so it won't freeze over Alternatively, it stays only affecting the pokemon who has it but it cuts water damage in half, the idea being that water and lava counteract sorta, with the lava solidifying and becoming rock and the water evaporating. BST increase: hes already had one but its not enough because he's a Gen 2 pokemon. Give him 10 in each defensive stat, maybe an extra 10 in Sp Atk. Regional form or evolution: no idea for this but I mean we saw what happened to other pokemon like Weezing, or Farigiraf in terms of a new evolution. Plus as a defensive pokemon now he'd be capable of using eviolite Signature move (sorta): id propose a new move be made that gets distributed to volcano related pokemon such as Magcargo and Camerupt. Itd be a fire type rock slide with a higher base power, same accuracy, same flinch chance, but also a burn chance. Could also be rock ig but more importantly itd be special instead of physical. Any of these buffs would make me happy but the only one I see happening is a Magma Armor buff because let's face it, its useless. Its only on fire types and fire types usually have a move to escape freeze. I also would be surprised if freeze got reworked or just nerfed. We saw frostbite in PLA and drowsiness too. In any case I'd take what I can get for my gen 2 and 3 bois

Also it could have a signature ability a little bit funky like something that you said. Or maybe like in pokémon insurgence, an ability that inflict like 10% of damage of every water types mons at the end of each turn and that immunes you to water moves. For the signature moves, maybe something like Gyro ball but a fire type could work well on this, or maybe a move that makes all normal moves become water type something like zeraora plasma fist volt absorb combo. Could be fun. Whatever, I really hope they'll give magcargo or one of those I named an evo. They are so forgotten but so cool designed imo. Thank you for sharing your ideas Magcargo lover friend! :)

This would allow it to use Body Slam as a strong, physical Electric-type move that _doesn't_ cause heavy recoil. Making Quick Attack Electric-type would also provide a niche of Electric-type priority. 2. Give it access to Sucker Punch so it has priority on both STABS, Glare for a more fitting paralysis option that works against Ground-types on non-Galvanise sets, and maybe Swords Dance for setup potential to use its great 120 base Atk effectively.

personally, i feel like banette should actually be a normal and ghost type since besides being cursed, its really just a child's doll. i feel like this reasoning is better than whatever reason they made hisui zoroark a ghost and normal type. not only would this be a phenomenal typing for such a frail pokemon, but it would also give it STAB on moves like body slam and double edge which would only amplify its power.

I was actually doing something similar to this video in my free time (funnily enough, I though of giving Technician to Dugtrio to stop its ability dependancy XD), so seeing this video also gives me some ideas XD Another way you could buff pokemon is by giving them signature items with unique effects (kinda like clamperl), which also has the benefit of being more lenient with the item clause

Cacturne could use some love too. It has okay offensive stats but other than that it doesn't really have anything going for it other than its solid movepool. It already has sand veil, so i feel like giving it sand rush so that it could outspeed some things could make it at least a little better

The reason Ariados doesn't get Intimidate is because all other Pokemon are aware of it's stats and know it can never hurt them.

I’m all for giving mega abilities to the base Pokémon. Given that they were tied to a gimmick, even if it was the very first, megas should’ve been obvious in hindsight to be a curse in disguise. Many Pokémon are screwed out of evolutions because Megas are for fully evolved Pokémon as opposed to Gigantamax forms, and they can’t get stat buffs because then the mega would need to be buffed if they get brought back to keep the +100 BST consistent.

Pikachu is the franschise mascot, but seldom sees any use. My proposal is for Light Ball to also double Pikachu's speed. Also, making the item work on the rest of the evolutionary line would be cool. Raichu should get a 50% boost to Atk, SpA and Spe by holding a light ball. As for Pichu, make the light ball give it a +6 omniboost. I think those are fair changes.

Dude calm down you should know that Pikachu has an 80 or 90 base speed I can't remember but if you double any of that it fucking leaves most mega Pokemons speed stat in shit, my suggestion is of only a 50% boost to speed that's reasonable and viable also to give its moves from let's go games back to it and raichu and pichu buff don't make sense dude since pichu is a first stage while raichu is actually used quite a lot including both alola and kantonian forms so calm down that's too much

Some of my ideas: Durant gets heatproof. Yeah he's an ant that gets taken out by an anteater but with the adaption implications (if that even makes sense) go with Durant having some defense against fire. Mawile gets strong jaw. Look at a picture of Mawile and go figure. Ledian gets great physical attack. Considering iron fist, it's pretty neat. Also, it'd be hilarious for a ladybug to punch like a conkeldurr. Meganium gets a signature move: Photo panel. A gras type status move that raises both defense stats 1 stage (2 stages in sunlight). Good luck taking it out in the sun now. Delibird's present is reworked: Instead of a 50/50, it'll be a 5/45/45/5. With there being a 5% chance of a one-shot that goes through focus sash, sturdy, etc. And a 5% chance to hurt delibird. It has no real practicality but it would be very in theme and funny. Archeops' defeatist raises evasion when activated. This would make the lore sense identical, but still make it not terrible.

I'd love a regional variant of each where Durant has become a fire type (pun on Fire Ants) and Heatmor has had to become a ground type to compensate.

Aaaah, the Hoenn Shitmon special: - 100ish in both offenses - cool movepool - bad defenses - bad speed For some reason Gen 3 in specific has a ton of Pokémon that fit this mold (Seviper, Wailord, Camerupt, Cacturne, Huntail, Exploud...)

Buff Ampharos. It's two abilities are Static and Plus, yay . . . The Pokedex has mentioned since Gen II that it's tail can glow so bright that it can be seen from space, yet GF never gave it tail glow. I would also like to see it have a slight reshuffle of its stats taking some inspiration from its Mega and making it slower and bulkier, take 5 from its Atk and put it into HP and 5 from its Spd and put it into its Def so that its Def/Sp. Def match. This would also make it operate a bit better in TR. Honestly for it's abilities give it back Mold Breaker, give it Multiscale (given it's dormant dragon blood) or if you really wanna get spicy give it a toned down version of Hadron Engine and call it something like Electric Scales (again referencing it's dragon blood), where it doesn't summon terrain but still raises its Sp. Atk in Electric Terrain. Lightning Rod also would fit thematically for it.

ALL STARTER FINAL EVOLUTIONS DESERVE A 535 BST Swampert, to this day is the only one with 535 and it has one of the most busted type combos and good movepool. Hell even it it goes to useless stats like more Attack for Blastoise, it bugs the hell outta me that they aren't all equal. Specifically, I want Sceptile to get Sharpness and have an actual usable Attack Stats. Leaf Blade was LITERALLY designed for him and it's not optimal. HP: 70 Atk: 100 (+20) Def: 65 SpA: 105 SpD: 75 (-10) Spe: 120 Speaking of moves that feel like they're designed for Pokémon: Golurk BETTER get Rage Fist when he's back in DLC 2.

Furret and Klinklang need buffs (I know Furret just got Tidy Up, but I mean a buff that'll actually help it) Edit: Oh God, I forgot Ledian needs one too. Like aside from the elephant in the room of giving it an actual attack stat so it can use its Iron Fist ability, what about something more interesting like letting it get Pollen Puff, alongside changing its ability to Friend Guard to fit the idea of it being a Toukusatsu Ladybug that fights for justice and helps those in need

Not a specific pokemon (although to be honest it's for Electivire mostly) but an ability. I think motor drive could be buffed by raising speed two stages instead of one. I think it should also activate on electric terrain instead of just when you're hit by electric attacks.
