Design wise I can agree with Kangeskhan. If you were doing it based on power, I would’ve assumed you never actually played Pokémon. Damn thing broke competitive. Fair play tho
yeah she has a free sword dance by using power-up punch. and he has a priority move sucker punch makes her a devastating Mega.. but he did say design so yes.. definitely.. the 3 of us both agreed on that.
Sceptile has a poor movepool for being a special attacker..it should get it's offensive stats switched..moreover, it should also get a useful ability cus I'm pretty sure that no one is going to use an electric type move on a Pokemon that resists it 4 times. It's my favourite Pokemon in anime, but I unfortunately can't use it much in games since it's movepool and stats..
Brah be sleepin' on Mega Charizard Y... Its design is the natural evolution of Charizard where it finally loses the beer gut - becoming sleek and aerodynamic, increasing its flying prowess to Top Gun Maverick levels!
I always felt that Mega Charizard Y was not shown enough.It looks cool,has a really OP ability and monstrous special attack.I really want to see it animated and i am not talking about the joke that got 1 shot by a same type attack
Kangaskhan might be an uninteresting design to some but it was probably single handedly the most overpowered mega evolution (other than the legendaries)
thanks! i'm sick of poketubers that take way too long to explain things/get into the point of the video, so hoping to be the change i want to see in the world :)
Absolutely 10/10 Pat! I agree with the list 100% I'm also curious-- What's the background song for the beginning during the Kangaskhan onward to Sharpedo? Its really good! Is it one of Cottage's songs, or is it just one you enjoy?
For one there are so many Megas I forgot about, but a funny thing about this list is how wildly different it is from my opinions. I think the simpler designs like Mega Venusaur and Charizard Y are so much better than the overly complicated ones like Lucario. Like its called Mega Evolution, so I get people expecting a 4th stage looking form, but its not a full evolution and its temporary, so having these crazy drastic changes feels off in practice. And as much as I agree about the design of Mega Sceptile, he gets totally screwed over stats and movewise. He has an almost entirely physical moveset, but then his Mega only boosts his Special Attack. I tried using it in a playthrough of Alpha Sapphire and its was just a pathetic struggle to get anything out of it. However in other media its amazing, like in Pokken Tournament where they aren't constrained by actual base stats.
I completely understand why you, me and most of the pokemon fans hate mega gyarados but I understand why they decided to make mega G look like that.. The design of gyarados was originally inspired from a shrimp 🦐 and the normal gyarados looks more like a dragon 🐉 that's why everyone one of us wish it had dragon type but they wanted to redeem that quality of design of a shrimp 🦐 and made mega gyarados look like that and I honestly don't understand why they gave it a dark type though 💀💀
So you say these are all based of design, yet for charizard y you stated the only reason he made it so high was because of his ability drought? You can’t pick and choose…
Mega Tyranitar looks like they wanted to make Godzilla, but pulled back _just_ enough to avoid legal issues with Toho. Also, Mega Manectric looks like Manectric went Super Saiyan 3.
Hard disagree. Sure, it's fine if it's all personal opinion. As a person studying character design in games, most of the evolutions near the bottom are just fine. Personally, what makes a Mega design a "good one" is either how they twist and exaggerate the theme of the Pokemon's design, or how they make it cooler while retaining simplicity (ex. Mega Charizard and Mega Swampert). The twist on Mega Camerupt's having greater emphasis on the volcano theme while keeping it simple is what makes it a well-designed Mega. Mega Blastoise and Mega Sceptile also follow this idea.
If you want a real legit reason to hate Mega Garchomp, just look at the shiny. The purple is a huge improvement when you compare it to normal Mega Garchomp, normal Garchomp, and even shiny Garchomp, but that near neon bright magenta completely destroys it. If they went with a shade of turquoise instead of that bright magenta so it contrasts with the orange, it would’ve looked so much better. That’s just my opinion though.
I still haven't forgiven the creators for skiping Gen 2 starters, i've heard people complaining about how bad Meganium is for the lonhest time and they decided to waste time on audino and giving megas to pokemon that don't even evolve in the first place, some of them, especialy Mawile's look like what an actual evolution should've been
I super disagree with the design comment early on. I think mega evolution should specifically look like the previous version as much as possible, with things added on to make it feel new but still the same. Otherwise why call it a mega and not just add additional evolutionary chain? That's why Kangaskan and say Ampharos or Blastoise are some of the best mega designs out there.
Mega absol's problem is that his hair and horn look weird. The solution is to just invert regular absol's yin yang by making the horn face forward and the hair backwards.
@Amelia4111 I thought Lopunny had a 100% female ratio but actually it is a 50/50 so i am half right. I apologize for the wrong spelling i was typing fast and wasnt checking my work. I dont think Lopunny looks that way but Lopunny was designed that way
Brock's Onix biggest joke ever. It's signature Bide basically gives you free turns. I solo'd it with a level 5 pidgey who easily setup -6 accuracy with sand attacks during the bide turns.
Mega slowbro is king 😂 my favourite Pokémon of all times goes Slowpoke to slowbro and to finally Mega Slowbro as a young lad 23 years ago I fell in love with Slowbro was so glad that it got a mega so very deserving and when you see the derpy face becoming a whirlwind death just wow 10-10 😊

A wedding and then a funeral 😭😭
Bruh
Good one
She is dressed for her opponent's funeral.
Mega Sceptile is what regular Sceptile should have been. Great improvement
Even if Blaziken is my favourite Pokémon and Swampert is amazing as well, Sceptile has the coolest mega evolution of the Hoenn starters.
@@-_MR666_- factual
Well minus the dragon type
Got what he deserved. Good Mega

glad you clarified that you were basing this on design, i almost thought you never played Pokémon with the mega kanghaskan placement
Yeah if it was based on power then it would have been a god awful take lol
The H in Kangaskhan should be after both A's!
finally someone who appreciates Steelix and its mega evolution
I know right
We Steelix appreciators are v rare, but I’m glad I found some like minded ppl

I swear I've played X almost a decade ago, and I never saw mega Steelix until this video. I like Steelix, but the mega form is sublime.
That's because mega Steelix it's not from X but from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
I miss Megas so much
Agreed with that
You can always play the spin-offs where they're still used
Kangaskhan might be an uninteresting design to some but it was probably single handedly the most overpowered mega evolution (other than the legendaries)
I disagree with this list so bad. It’s a good thing we’ve all got different opinions haha 😂
High quality vid, I agree with a lot of the points here, and I can definitely appreciate how “to-the-point” your lists are, keep it up. 👍
thanks! i'm sick of poketubers that take way too long to explain things/get into the point of the video, so hoping to be the change i want to see in the world :)
@@smithplayspokemoni know you didn't put mega tyranitar that low on the list
Love the video as always pat. Been with you for years and always will be a fan
I love that there was no outro. You have my subscription for that.
Welcome to the channel :)
Mega Scizor is an absolute unit and i desperately miss it. I Super Trained a Scizor from level 1 and he's such a powerhouse
Geniunely amazed at the Scizor placement idk I think the design is banging and I am curious why u put it so low
man violated my fav mon
Garchomp got 33? My boy deserved better!
Mega Camerupt is just intimidating
Personally I’m pretty biased and absolutely adore mega Altaria, especially when it’s shiny. It just looks angelic and seems like the best pillow ever.
Absolutely 10/10 Pat! I agree with the list 100% I'm also curious-- What's the background song for the beginning during the Kangaskhan onward to Sharpedo? Its really good! Is it one of Cottage's songs, or is it just one you enjoy?
That would be “School days” from the persona 1 ost!
Atleast Gengar on 15, my boy looks amazing.
Its my one of the favourites
He is loved with or without Mega 🙌🙌🙌
AT LEAST IS 2 WORDS, NOT ONE WORD! AND DO NOT CALL GENGAR A BOY!
As a mega metagross Stan I respect where you put him lol
Mega Kangaskhan is just a normal Kangaskhan without having to consider the baby all the time. The baby is actually the one who mega evolves.
For one there are so many Megas I forgot about, but a funny thing about this list is how wildly different it is from my opinions. I think the simpler designs like Mega Venusaur and Charizard Y are so much better than the overly complicated ones like Lucario.

Dont think lucarios was complicated at all. Fellas arms just turned purple
At #27 like the snap of a finger, he went from sh**ing on every Pokémon to complimenting them 😂

Something of the lore, it's brain kinda stops and all it can still think of is destroying whatever it can reach
I can’t believe he put Altaria over Garchomp or Tyranitar. Altarias clouds only get puffier lol
The design of mega charizard Y is to good than x but it became always underated
While I don't agree with the decision to make mega gyrados dark type, I do think it still looks cooler than normal gyrados.
Let's be honest,
MEGA CAMELRUPT is actually good
So you say these are all based of design, yet for charizard y you stated the only reason he made it so high was because of his ability drought? You can’t pick and choose…
Mega Tyranitar looks like they wanted to make Godzilla, but pulled back _just_ enough to avoid legal issues with Toho.
Also, Mega Manectric looks like Manectric went Super Saiyan 3.
I thought this was gonna be more than a design perspective list smh lol
More than anything, I realise how many Megas I had forgotten existed
tbh when it comes to taking L opinions on megas this man takes it 100%
I dunno care about the rating but I fucking love how you used Persona 1 ost :)
not sure how to feel about seeing all the megas I actually want to have at the bottom of your list lol
I like mega audino saying no one cares just makes him look like an asshole
Mega Gyarados is an uncooked Jumbo Shrimp. Hang it off a glass full of cocktail sauce in shiny form, you can't unsee it.

Mega rayquaza is legitimately my favorite pokemon of all time, I'm so glad you did my boy justice
Having medicham that high is a felony
Dark typing on mega Gyarados is way better

You vastly undersold how broken Paternal Bond is. Mega Kang is a get of "battle maison free" card
MEGA STEELIX SO HIGH HOLY BASED. I’m glad someone understands just how strong this mon looks
Am I the only one who likes Mewtwo x more than Mewtwo y 🙃
No, you aren't.
I love how all the gameplay footage is just them using megas to oko random base form mons
Hello guys new here from Indonesia, subscribed looking forward to the next videos.😊
I choked laughing at the Obamasnow joke, GG
I would not have put any of the hoenn starters in top 10 let alone all 3 but you know what, I respect the decision
2:59 At this moment this man has committed a action that is so dumb he just started ww3 💀
Bro put Mewtwo that has its butt on the back in number 5
People thought mega mewtwo Y was mewthree because it was revealed before X and before the concept of mega evolution.
ILL SAY IT. Mega Scizor is good
Now mega lucario is in top 3
I love the obama-snow meme you put in there

That’s just my opinion though.
Putting mega abomasnow above gardevoir is W I L D fr. Gardevoir that low in general but that’s insane
Garygos honestly should have had wings to fully make him a dragon.
I kept reminding myself throughout the video that this was your opinion.

Mega evolutions make Pokemon look what they used to in the past, like the new ancient ones, but it isn't fully like it's ancient counterpart

THERE IS NO A IN PREVIOUS! AND DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE H IN KANGASKHAN!
I actually really like both camerupt and mega camerupt. I don't really see what you were talking about when you said it looks like a pre evo.
Dude honestly your underrating mega gengar.Its soo f*****g sick
I was expecting blastoise or Alakazam 😢
What's the song at the beginning of the video btw?
Man, the pronunciation of things in this video is wild.
putting audino below pokemon like heracross and manectric and so many others who are actually ugly is such a crime
mewtwo y has that kid buu vibes
Charzared is loved by game freak it was given 2 mega’s a gmax and needs a regenal form
THERE IS NO APOSTROPHE IN MEGAS! *WE DON'T USE APOSTROPHES IN PLURALS!* Charizard*, Regional*
You were on to something with the first few entries, but wow it went downhill so bad so fast.
Bro went on about typing and stats but then proceeds to give his opinions on looks
I’m sorry did you just say Draught?
I disagree with like…90% of these. Wild.
I 200% disagree with Kanga. It is strong as fuck,and the simple idea of just having the child fighting alone outside of the pouch is simple and smart.
Mega pidgeot is super Saipan mode
That mega Charizard fucking bodied that fletching bruh. Rip random wild fletchling
Smh
Little kanghaskhan is the real body
There should be only one H in Kangaskhan!
As someone who's favourite Pokemon is altaria, they did it dirty in it's mega Imo. It should've looked a bit like how hisuian sligoo looks
5:23 I still laugh when people (whether intentionally or unintentionally) pronounce it as "Obamasnow" 🤣
swampert has the balls to punch rayquaza in the face
Mega absol's problem is that his hair and horn look weird. The solution is to just invert regular absol's yin yang by making the horn face forward and the hair backwards.
Where would you rank Ampharos among the Mega evolutions?
Mega Glaley looks cool.
IT'S GLALIE, NOT GLALEY! FIX IT NOW!
