Is there anyway beside giving it a mega to make the forme usable?
A special event that lets you become Zen Mode until it stops, instead of activating at half HP.
Or have at first a defensive Pokemon that transitions into offense and not the other way around, Darmanitan.

the best way i've tried is
Darmanitan @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Zen Mode
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flame Charge
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Fire Blast
he gets walled by a lot of shit but i've seen him get a few kills and even sweep a couple times. So what if it was in low ladder?
>>24737279
Cullination did something with it, might look that up.

Because he wanted to make the form usuable, which almost everything is in low ladder.
Here's how to make it usuable you make it a form change, so that zen mode is the actual form, and when it goes to half health it reverts to regular so its faster and stronger. That would make it more usuable but still a little shody.
If its speed stat were boosted instead of dropped on transformation it might be usable. It's counter-intuitive to have to drop your HP to half to get a Sp. Atk boost that then makes you slower and a bit bulkier, but with with one of the worst defensive typings in the game.
Raising speed to 130~ after the transformation might make zen mode situationally useful and not totally useless like it is now.

New formula for damage calculation, that makes pokemons litteraly impossible to OHKO. In every other RPG, there aren't protagonist who die as fast as pokemons. Okay there's many pokemons in your team, but longer games can be appreciable. Also regular formats, aka 3v3 and doubles are really quick compared to others strategy games. I would love to see pokemons with a fuckton of hp like in FF. Killing Ferrothorn with 5-6 Darmanitan's flare blitz ...
>STILL liking darmanitan
Make it so on the tun you'd go at or under 50% health, Zen Mode prevents you from losing health and then does the transformation. After that turn you can lose health again. Like a 50% Sturdy which applies to stuff like Toxic and Leech Seed etcand give him Recover
What
2 different Megas. If you mega up in regular mode, you're just a little bit strong, but mega up in zen mode and you're an unstoppable fucking force.
Zen Mode should have been a split evo rather than a forme change.
>>24737279
give it a detect type move that changes it's form
Looking at it's stats again it's not even that terrible if he kept the full HP.
>>24737279
have it activate like Mega, but you can freely switch between two modes whenever you want.

I saw someone suggest using it on a sandstorm team holding a chesto berry, because you can bring it out, use belly drum to maximize its attack, sandstorm will drop you into Zen Mode, your defenses sky rocket so you can take whatever hit they throw at you, rest to regain full health and wake up with the berry, then rape everything with Flame Charge, which can also boost your speed. It's not perfect, but it's an interesting strategy.

>your defenses sky rocket so you can take whatever hit they throw at you
Are you high, anon? You won't take any hit.
You're only bet would be to belly drum while the opponent switches out.
>>24742547
>>24743088
and even then you better hope that the opponent wastes a second turn while you Rest.
It is an interesting strat but it has less going for it then you had expected.

Monkey looks sad.
