Would Ledian, Luvdisc, and Unown be hypothetically good in LC?
>>
>>24779485
>Ledian
Possibly, then again it's kinda fucking terrible in general and can't take a physical hit for shit.
>Luvdisc
Yes, its fast
>unown
no, not even in LC PU
>>
>>24779485
>Ledian
no. 4x sr weakness and no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
>Luvdisc
not really. remember it has no wish, so what is it good for?

no. unown is never the solution, m8.

>>24779407
this, unown are literally useless. Can only learn hidden power, and scale worth shit.

There is no reason to ever use an unown and it is depressing.
>>
>>24783153
Doesn't alomola still have more bulk though?
>>
guys, what do you think about my unown moveset?

- hidden power
>>
>>24783358
Epic my friend. Is it Psychic? I heard it can 2hko poliwrath.
>>
>>24778872
It'd be cool if Ledian had a Mega evolution where it gets some armor-like features, giving it a space soldier like theme that boosts its attack to non-shameful proportions as well as his defense and maybe speed. Also boost Comet Punch to the customary 25BP.
Even then it would be a weak Pokémon but at least usable in casual playthroughs.

>Mega Ledian

>This Pokemon can mega evolve twice into Giga Ledian

Yes or yes?
>>
>>24783483
Yeah, but I mean come on, look at its base stats.

ATK: 35
DEF: 50
SP ATK: 55
SP DEF: 110
SPE: 85

I guess if you give it 10+ base stat and then minmax it like Beedrill it could be viable.

ATK: 45 -> 145
DEF: 50 -> 50
SP ATK: 55 -> 15
SP DEF: 110 -> 110
SPE: 85 -> 125

So a bit slower and weaker mega-beedrill, but with decent sp def.
>>
>>24783501
Bug/Steel
Heatproof
hp: 55
atk: 35
def: 50 -> 110 (+60)
spa: 55 -> 35 (-20)
spd: 110 -> 140 (+30)
spe: 85 -> 115 (+30)

Viable.
Checklist:
-Bulk
-Good support movepool
-Ton of resists
-One weakness
-Recovery
-Speed

Slap defog on it if you are really concerned if it'll not be enough. It's a sanic encore, a baton passer, a wall (better bulk than sableye) and a pivot.
>>
>>24783483
Also drop the Flying type for Fighting, for STAB and Stealth Rocks resistance.
>>
Reminder that gimmick pokemon was never ment to be compettiively viable, so those doesn't need to be good

Unown (to show off Hidden Power)
Ledian (pulseman reference)
Delibird (show off Present)
Farfetch'd (literal joke pokemon)
Castform (show off Weather)
Luvdisc (heart scales)

etc
>>
>>24783538
Ledian doesn't have a gimmick aside from being shit

it doesn't even get signature moves like its counterpart: Spider Web and Sticky Web

Also Sawsbuck's gimmick of being a pokemon to show off seasons didn't stop it from being good. Neither did Milotic's gimmick of being contest oriented and being notoriously hard to catch. There are other examples because of how poorly defined "gimmick" is. Are the Eeveelutions gimmicks for their evolution mechanics? Is Chansey a gimmick for being a safari zone pokemon and having two signature items? Even Slaking managed to be OU in ADV iirc

sawsbuck isn't that good m8
>>
>>24783358
Would it even make a difference if they could atleast learn Tms?
>>
>>24783600
It has mediocre immediate power which is mitigated by its blinding speed in sunlight and ability to use swords dance

at any rate, it's far from an unusable shitmon like Farfetch'd or Unown
>>
>>24783604
how do you expect it to make a difference when all of its base stats are 48?
>>
>>24783538

nope

this. stop trying to make all pokemon competitive.
ofc we can give ledian delta stream & castform wonder guard, but what is the point?
>>
>>24783583
Bisharp is not a power ranger specifically, ledian IS Pulseman and its the fact that Gamefreak also made Pulseman who makes it a gimmick Pokémon.

Sure Rotom changes forms but is also a Legendary so
>>
>>24783530
Might be alright, its taunt bait though and it'd need a decent status other than toxic. Sort of reminds me of a sp D version of cofagrigus but faster and no offence.
>>
>>24783680
New move just for ledian.

Cometier punch. It's just comet punch at 20 BP, but it uses special defence as the attacking stat.
>>
>>24783684
make a gimmick more gimmicky.
nice
>>
>>24783690
Do you honestly think I was being serious, 'cometier punch'
>>
>>24783538
Easy fix. Create item Gimmicky Gimmick only holdable by those mons that double every single stat and can't be knocked off. They'll get some usage in PU then.
>>
>>24783693
>double every single stat and can't be knocked off
PU?
You are looking for UU here, at least

Luvdisc is good though.

It would make sense if they gave it an evolution like Zygarde.

Zygarde isn't getting an evolution it's getting a new forme

Ok, and would be interesting if they gave one to Unown.

Ledian would be the Blissey of RU if it's stats doubled.

It still wouldn't have enough offensive presence to do anything in UU.
>>
>>24783496
>have to survive an entire extra turn before it becomes usable
No
>>
>>24783496

So each mega doubles its stats, as well as allow it to hit two more times right?

>>24786869

HP:55
Attack:35
Defense: 80 (50 +30)
Sp. Atk: 125 (55 +70)
Sp. Def:110
Speed:85

Ability: Double Up
Attacks twice in one turn (with the same attack), once at the beginning.

Things that seperate from parental bond are that the first hit gains +1 priority and the second hit goes regular based on speed.

Also it's NOT a double hit. It uses the attack. So it gets priority Hyper Beam, and a Solarbeam that hits at regular speed because it charges at the beginning of the turn. Status moves also go twice (not sure if that is useful. Haven't checked that much)

Is it good now?
>>
>>24788388

ooh me again so it gets a lot of boosts like SD and agility, so it could boost 4 stages in 1 turn and baton pass (with priority) the next turn.

Double giga drain as well.
>>
the options were yes and yes
no is not an option
>>
>>24788447

Wait... what was the question?
>>
>>24786640
>what is protect
a waste of a moveslot

>what is mega beedrill
a three stage pokemon that couldn't get anymore normal evolutions and is 2x weak to stealth rock rather than 4x

>what is any pokemon that requires it set up for anything
any Pokemon that absolutely "requires" set up is shit because it's not flexible enough to be viable.

every time I see someone suggest mega ledian instead of a regular evolution I cringe.
>>
>>24786553
If Mega Ledian were to be built defensively like that, it deserves access to Seismic Toss. It's got a minor Fighting type theme to it already. And with Iron Fist and Comet Punch it also deserves Meteor Mash.
>>
>>24786608
>Ledian is so shit people already expect mega ledian to be totally unusable

>>24783609
fear unown
>>
>>24788472
>first Mega just gets 100 defense so it can survive

Mega Ledian needs to happen.

Mega Evolution swaps Flying type for Fighting. As for healing, it gets Drain Punch, which could then potentially be boosted by STAB and Iron Fist (assuming that's his Mega Evo ability).
But doubt even that will get Ledian on the RU map at most.

so how do you recon ledian wiil do against stall?

bad, as against everything else.

because if there is one thing that assist is bad against, its stall amirite?

Skitty/Delcatty

Holy shit this thing is so fucking bad.

Also Beartic. Giant badass polar bear and then it has 50 speed. And it's Ice so it has shit defense. Even with Swift Swim it's slow. 110 attack is not enough considering how slow it is and how it isn't even bulky. It's sad.

Literally the one purpose of this mon is breeding Icicle Crash onto Sneasel.

but it's true though
meganium was a mid-tier wall in GS but has completely fallen since then
the hope was that it would've gotten flower veil this gen but since that didn't happen, it will forever be shit
>>
>>24801733
it's a decent wall in PU
>>
>>24801808
anything else can be more useful than meganium
for instance lickilicky: can't be taunted, access to wish and heal bell, STAB explosion for surprise
or avalugg: amazing defense and recovery, rapid spin

i mean meganium is certainly better than sunflora and bellossom, but it still doesn't bring anything to the table any other midly decent wall can't do (screens, aromatherapy/heal bell, recovery, dragon tail) and has a particularly bad typing for a wall

it's E rank for a reason
