Which Sinnoh starter gets the mega evo dragon job?
>>
>>24591333
None. The ones that might get it are Feraligatr and Serperior. Thats it
>>
>>24591333
Infernape

How do you know?
>>
>>24591352
Because they're the only ones left who have any dragon-ish features?
>>
>>24591357
The ones you pointed out are reptile like.

Is Turtwig not reptile like?

Turtwig being Grass/Dragon would actually be really boring and lame compared to Grass/Ground and Grass/Rock though.
Like, the whole point of gaining dragon typing is to be cool, but Torterra being part dragon makes it less cool.
>>
>>24591333
None. They all become Fire/Fighting.
>>
>>24591333
Hopfully no more starters get the Type+Dragon treatment
>>
They all already have secondary typing why would they get another when going mega? I mean Charizard x was dragon/fire but that was to satisfy the "Charizard is a dragon" meme.
>>
>charizard
>feraligatr
>sceptile
>serperior

Nothing else will get it as the rest all have secondary types. Charizard is a wierd exception
>>
>>24591996

Is Charizard not a dragon though?

fuck no, every genwunner always wanted muh dragon charizard
>>
I have to agree with this anon >>24591341
It just seems outlandish to do anymore. Sceptiles was pretty random though. At least the ones that did get the dragon treatment had dragon qualities and dragon type moves before the mega came. None of the gen 4 mons learn any dragon moves through leveling and breeding. Infernale can learn Dual Chop through tutors and torterra can learn outrage but thats it.
>>
None of them?

>>24592270
It learned Dragon Pulse, Outrage, and Dragon Claw pre-mega, and at least has the reptilian look going for it.
How was it random?
>>
>>24592300
If you read past that I already said that they at least learn dragon moves. But that doesn't mean that it should be a dragon type. And it hardly has any dragon qualities.
>>
>>24592240
Grass/Steel Grass rock with either Filter/Solid rock
be my Ideal torterra
he would be a ferrothorn with more HP and better offensive move pool
>>
>>24592335
I just think you're being a little silly, anon.
>>
>>24592256

They meant in regards to typing, Charizard was already dual type
>>
>>24592352
Mega Gyarados changed to water/dark
Altaria changed to dragon/fairy
Dual types don't really mean anything.

Hell Aggron lost his rock type.
>>
>>24592445
Triple types when?
>>
>>24592300
>>24592347

Fuck off buttscab
>>
Infernape gets pure power
>>
>>24593427
Infernape will get Swift Strike, which gives priority to every Fighting moves

Water/Dragon mega when?

>>24593484

Wrong Infernape gets Ancient Gear, equipping him with the items used by his likeness Sun Wukong
>nimbus which is a free Air Balloon
>staff, makes his Fighting type moves under X BP never miss and strike first

an hero
>>
>>24593572
an electric sheep got dragon typing.

there's really no consistency to say "it can't be X type!"
>>
>>24593572
Considering Tyrantrum and M-Sceptile are dragon type? yes
>>
Usually a good indicator that you have dragon-like qualities in the pokémon world are

>you are a literal dragon
>you are a reptile
>you are a snake
>you are a seahorse because muh japan mithology
>you are a serpentine fish

Of course with execeptions such as Ampharos that for all I know got the mega because of some stupid pun with its japanese name

Other factors that might weight in for a /dragon mega or a dragon typing from the get-go also include the ability to learn dragon-type moves naturally or through breeding and being in the Dragon Egg Group in general (see Sceptile)

With that out of the way, the only one that might have a shot would be Torterra because it's dinosaur-esque abilities might weight in for a Dragon typing like the did for Tyrantrum. Infernape and Empoleon would need to have mega design that are a complete departure of their origins for a /dragon to be added.


That said I believe none of them will change typings when they get their megas. Same for Gen 6 starters.
>>
>>24593693
Those criterias don't mean much when there's just a many Pokemon fulfilling them that aren't even close to be dragons
>>
>>24593707
That's why I said indicators, not criterias that grant you a /dragon when met, otherwise Seviper and Milotic to name a few would be dragons and Garchomp would be Ground/Water or something
>>
>>24593544
16x with forest's curse
>>
Would dragon/FIGHTING infernape work?
>>
>>24593801
No.
No pokemon lose their primary type after mega-evolving.
>>
>>24593830
>muhpatterns
Some Pokemon lose their first type when evolving, no reason they wouldn't do it for Megas too.
>>
>>24591333
Torterra, because Grass-types are for real men.
>>
>>24593885
Even if they did break that pattern, I really doubt they'd do it on a starter.
>>
If M-Infernape doesn't get a bo staff and floating cloud of fire then Game Freak fucked up.
>>
>>24593604
That was based on a pun in Japanese.
>>
>>24592335
A dragon is a big lizard with wings.
Sceptile is a big lizard. It's not too far fetched.
>>
>>24593520
We can only hope

>Sheer Force
>No Dragon moves boosted
>>
>>24594036
This. The Japanese name of Ampharos is Denryu.
Den = electrical, Ryu = current, however Ryuu = Dragon.
Stupid pun, but at least there's a reason for the mega being dragon.

Get off the internet and study, middle schooler. Hopefully you'll have a future in time.
