How does /vp/ feel about Mega Houndoom?
Design, use in battle, it's non-mega form...

>design
shit
>use in battle
lol
>non mega form
pretty cool, but I never had a chance to use it in-game due to retarded placement
>>24688623
Why is dark/fire such shit typing?
>>24688614
It's good, but not great. In theory it can get rid of its checks with a specific combo (like sun + solarbeam against Azu/Keldeo, FB under sun 2HKOs Altaria who fails to KO back with EQ), but then it gets walled by Chansey. It's also weak to rocks, gets flattened by any revenge killer and has an ok but not great speed tier. It'd be awesome if it didn't have to compete with other megas.
Worthless design, just gets bigger.

>Design
I like it
>Use in battle
It's move pool is really lacking and that ability is not only pointless but doesn't make sense on a pokemon that thrives at night.
>non mega
I still like it, although I will repeat the move pool complaint
>>24688627
>mfw plus 3 special attack boost
It's awesome
It's not good enough to be a Mega.
Just call it Houndire and give us a Mega Houndire.

Who is that last mon? Mega form of Dobermon?
>>24688614
Needs a better ability.
Otherwise pretty cool.

Cerberumon Werewolf Mode, IIRC.
It'd be better if it wasn't released in the same gen that nerfed weather.
Or if the only 2 viable options for setting up Sun weren't both Fire-types (one of which is another Mega).I guess you COULD use a Prankster mon or something, but there's so many other strategies they'd be better suited for than setting up Hyper Offense

No, it's Plutomon. Look it up.
Houndoom is in my top 5 favorite pokemon, its mega is shite though
I use it with a focus sash, counter, and destiny bond. Usually, guarantees two kills.
love the design, but it's bad.
honestly the fix would be to make solar power only drain health when attacking, like life orb.

Love using it with sun.
Even without sun, STAB nasty plot heat wave/dark pulse is scary with 145 SpA.
>>24688614
Really could have used more Cerberus inspiration
The mega looks like fucking trash, and solar power is a stupid ability for it.
