Every pokemon can "Mega Evolve" now, with the use of the wrist band.
Called "Sync Boost", you can give the "Sync Stone" to a pokemon of your choice, with which it can reap the benefits of the wrist band.
There is a menu to distribute stat boosts that are granted by the Sync Boost, in all stats except HP. So, in that effect, even NFE pokemon can be granted Stat boosts, up to a total of 100 points total.
This way, any Pokemon that is your favorite, can be effective as well.
Have a good day.

Even if you can't min-max, this has potentialy catastrofic results. Thanks for fucking up competitive pokemon forever, fuck you N

>100 points
It could be 400 points and still not be enough to my favorite Pokemon effective.One day, Unown.... One day....

It can get worse, much worse
>Rampardos gets more attack and actual speed
>Gliscor becomes a better tank
>Weavile gets maxed atack and speed, effectively making it kill anything
>smogonbird gets more attack
>>Blissey/Chansey can get defensive boosts
This is horrible

They'll just ban it?
>>26770387
Thats on par of banning megas because of Megamom, Gengar and mawile. They could, but they wouldn't
>Gamefreak gets so pissed at the lack of creativity at yearly competitions they just say "fuck it" to the metagame
Holy fuck, I'd love it

GF then proceeds to reveal marshadow's ability allows it to hold two items at a time, and gives it a mega.
>>26769012
This serves no purpose to make OU mons even more OU, since they're the one's people will put the boosts on.
>>26769575
What if it's only for Pokemon below a certain Stat value?
>>26770514
Below what? 500? you'd still include a shit-ton of top tier threats like breloom, sableye (granted he has a minmaxed mega so he doesnt need much) shuckle, chansey and more. It's completely stupid conceptualy
>>26769012
>And when everything's broken...nothing will beAlso why the no-HP qualifier? They've clearly worked a way around that, as demonstrated by Zygarde-Complete suddenly jumping to base 227 HP from Zygarde-10%'s base 65
>>26770597
How do you figure that?
>>26770637
What, the base HP stats? Trailers always use 0 IVs/EVs for some reason, so it's easy to calculate from HP numbers if they're shown. Besides, even if the numbers are wrong, the point remains that Zygarde gained HP when its form changed in the trailer.
Better idea: Just give every fully-evolved Pokemon aside from Mega Evolutions a "Sync forme", which have set boosts, much like Mega Evolution, but isn't limited to 100. Stronger Pokemon get much less, while weaker mons get much more.
Allow one sync mon per team, predetermined by selecting it with the Sync Band before the battle. It'll automatically Sync when it enters the battle, giving it the stat boost(and some sort of aura or something to differentiate it from normal mons).
This does not stop you from mega evolving a mon during battle, as it's entirely different.
This would allow each mon to be viable, without just buffing everything in their base forms.

Smogon doesn't run random wifi battles/battle spots
>>26769012
I thought of something really similar to this. Either that or they would just make it like mega evolutions but with another name.
