I'd like to see you compare the mega evolution of the pokemons who evolved by trade in Gen 1, I know Golem doesn't have one, but it should still be interesting to see how Mega Machamp compare to M-Alakazam and M-Gengar.
Mega Shedinja definitely should have kept Wonder Guard over either Tinted Lens or Adaptability. And Cheating Death should reset every time it switches. I get that they don't want to go overboard with making it full on untouchable, but it is a Bug mon with base 120 Attack and middling bp moves like X-Scissor and Phantom Force. It probably isn't killing anything any time soon, which is a huge drawback as a Mega when you have to compete with stuff like the Mega Gyaradoses and even other Bug Megas like Beedrill and Scizor. Even it having Tinted Lens, which would usually be a godsend for other Bug-types, is kind of a nothing ability on Mega Shedinja. The only resists to Ghost are Normal and Dark... both of which you can usually hit with Bug-type moves. Unless your opponent is running freaking Pyroar, and I guess Banette in this game, you aren't really getting any mileage off of the ability. Which, again, means you can replace it with Wonder Guard to have it remain as a unique win condition - sort of like how regular Shedinja is in some Singles formats - rather than let it deal more damage against a very small handful of mostly off-meta mons.
Mega Beedrill on the other hand, that's a mon that would _really_ love Tinted Lens. Bug and Poison is such an abysmal STAB combo, so removing all (or at least most) of its resists would help it out a lot. Put Tinted Lens over Merciless or even Hyper-Aggressive (my first go-to would actually be Levitate, but something tells me that they'd rather keep it on the mon for design-based reasons) and it becomes a lot more dangerous with Adaptability.
Shedinja is such a cool mega too! Brutal that it turned out to still be kinda bad... Compared to everything else anyway. If it uses Swords Dance twice, do you think Shadow Sneak would smack folks up with that? Also, does its 2 invuln hits get reset with swap?
@@MegaFidough oh man I'd like to see how you rank em. I feel like cradily is the best but I haven't used omastar or tyrantrum yet so maybe I'll be proven wrong.
I'm currently doing Mono Bug and Beedrill aka Beyonce (It is a female) has been a reliable sweeper paired with Foretress throwing up hazards (Stealth Rock and Sticky Webs).
Ngl cheating death sounds like a downgrade to the og wonder guard lol, unless it means 2 supereffective hits, i see very little to be gained on 2 free turn when u can get hit by everything, including multihit moves as u said. Sure if u can spam espeed and sweep after setting up, cool, but it doesn’t strike me as much of an upgrade if any kekw
Pls make mega lokik or let any other curent mega bug type( for example mega scizor) can learn first impression, well there's already mega flygon(grond/bug/dragon type) but i only use it for weather remover, i'm curently doing mono physical bug with first impression, at first it may seems stupid but it's work, the main problem is the mossdeep gym leader because they using psychic terrain to stop priority move
I think you're doing vanilla Mega Beedrill a disservice here. It was a very solid Mega, especially compared to its base forme it probably got the biggest upgrade out of any mon to receive a mega in X/Y, maybe second to Mega Kangaskhan. Mega Beedrill was definitely better than Mega Banette, Glalie, Abomasnow, Camerupt or Houndoom, for example. Imo its biggest issue (aside from its bad defenses) were its bad offensive typing and its weak movepool. Poison/Bug is just not very good, and its already weak coverage moves (Drill Run, Knock Off... Brick Break?) were even weaker cause they didn't get Adaptability. At 145 Speed it was already faster than everything except absolute speed freaks like Ninjask, Electrode or Regieleki, I don't think buffing it to 175 Speed does too much for it. I think if they wanted to really buff it, Mega Beedrill would've loved Tinted Lens. Steel, Poison and Ghost all resist both of its STAB moves, and Drill Run rarely oneshots those types without Adaptability.
It's a bit sad tho, butterfree should've just kept its flying type and replaced levitate with gale wings XD HIGH PRIORITY STAB Hurricane that is 97.5% accurate
Magic guard prevents rocks damage meaning it can literally ONLY be damaged physically Now yes multi hit moves are an absolute pain but it’s very few and far between who will actually use said multi hit moves. I would say ya slept on mega shedinja too much there man. Still not anywhere near best of best megas but probably middle of the pack.

Funnily bug is one of the easiest type to mono run in ER
Grass has been pretty easy, too!
any reason why?

Cause drought majestic moth Volcarona exists. Carried both my monotype fire and bug.
@@gam360yflying type not just about fast pokemon, there's also celesteela
Now imagine if Mega Shedinja gets to keep Wonder Guard and one of its innate is Color Change.
Thats just cheating at that point
Mega Shedinja was really fun to use in my monoghost run
Just wanna say I’ve heard about this game for a while and thought it was trying too hard with the 4 ability stuff, then I watched your vids and was convinced to try it out. I’m on my second run now, thanks man
Mega Bee folds to priority but thats the only things that'll stop it. That Bee is OUT FOR LIVES
Luckily prio is everywhere lol
Heh, I use Fell Stinger on my Elite Redux Showdown (its a custon showdown server on the elite redux discord for anyone wondering), along with Sticky Web Fortress
I like how Mega Butterfree is basically just a smaller version of its Gigantamax form lol.
Love your videos man, please keep it up!!
Really appreciate that! New video coming soon!
The more vids I watch on this the more I wanna play it

Yea cheating death really needs to do more for it
By the way, of all ground types that have mega in this game, which would be the best?

Yeah, should have stayed Wonder Guard.
I was always surprised at how bad bug were seeing as how real life bugs are why the games even exist.

Whyd you not mention the main thing that screws bug types in the intro (attacks being resisted by 7 types)
Good point. I did show it at least
Doesn’t magic guard protect it from Stealth Rocks and Weather?
Not before it mega evolves, unless base shedinja has magic guard.
Won't matter if he cant get on the field lol
Is Flygon viable? I love him, and i Just started the game and cant find the data base :(
Yea flygon is definitely solid now! here's the dex if you need it forwardfeed.github.io/ER-nextdex/static/
New Fidough Content ❤
Do you know how to access the "hidden" pokemon on the dexnav?
after you beat the game, beat every trainer on the route
Wait, shedinja had mega? Where do i get the megastone?
Its on the abandon ship. need dive tho

Currently doing a mono bug of this game wich its pretty funny
Monotype runs are super popular with this game. I have never tried one myself but I'd like to look into them
Do every type dooo every type
No mega ninjask?
can you make a video about strong non mega/legendary pokemon?
I have some older videos that do. I do want to get back to that at some point though
@@MegaFidough like the girafarig one was really nice
@@couscous3351 Won't make them unscripted like that again most likely
@@MegaFidough it was good i didnt realise it wasnt scripted lol

Talk about mega granbull
It's a bit sad tho, butterfree should've just kept its flying type and replaced levitate with gale wings XD HIGH PRIORITY STAB Hurricane that is 97.5% accurate
The shedinja should've kept wonder guard
definitely
How do i get the mega shedinja?
His stone is on the very bottom of the abandoned ship
@@MegaFidough Thank you!! I always like to watch your videos and i learn so much from them.
Instead of getting the free 2 hits, what if mega Shedinja got a hp stat of 101 with wonder guard. Keep all the other stats normal
It would die in 1 hit still lol
Magic guard prevents rocks damage meaning it can literally ONLY be damaged physically
Now yes multi hit moves are an absolute pain but it’s very few and far between who will actually use said multi hit moves.
I would say ya slept on mega shedinja too much there man. Still not anywhere near best of best megas but probably middle of the pack.
But you’d need to mega evolve before magic guard takes effect. If rocks or spikes are already set up youd never be able to come out and mega evolve.
@@wr5488 again I’m rating as the mega not the original, shedinja has always been that way high risk middle to high reward.
Just cant see myself using it over any other mega option
@@wr5488simple solution is to just lead with it
It's not just multi-hit moves that are a threat, but abilities that let the Pokemon attack more than once.
Mega Butterfree gets levitate? What is it's new typing changed to?
Wow I actually can't believe I didn't mention that... well its now a bug psychic type lol
