Pokémon Universe > Balance Server Testing
X/Y game play changes and PU Pokemon
Ursaring:
Glad you asked that GBA! I have been looking at the megas a lot recently ,so I should have some useful input here.
Aggron- This mega is really cool, I ran rest,metal burst,heavy slam, and EQ on mine. The only thing that really got me about this one was his weight, for something 7 feet tall made of pure iron he is only 870 lbs. I was not using him for long ,but he performed well for me.
Absol- This mega is pretty terrible. His stats are not a very large jump in the PU balance ,and his defenses get dropped by 10 each. With life orb normal absol out-damages the mega by a fair margin. Normal absol can use a razor claw to achieve 100% crit chance with many of its moves ,something that is impossible with mega absol. Mega absol also gains one of the strongest abilities in magic bounce ,but it is unable to switch in on things like entry hazards going up due to the need to mega evolve before it has the ability. While blocking status after you have mega evolved is cool it really is not worth it.
Mega amph- I think tail glow might need looking at ,but this mega is very solid and normally not to hard to deal with in my experience.
Mega manetric- I think this mega is balanced. He has 135 sp.att which is not to hard to deal with.
Mega medicham- Another one I feel is balanced. He is very vulnerable to status ,and can get revenge killed by things that are not weak to bullet punch.
Mega venusaur- I think this one is a bit over powered. He hits pretty hard and only has 2 true weaknesses (psychic and flying due to him having thick fat). He can be very hard to deal with ,and not that many pokes can counter him. This is just my opinion though ,unlike mega absol I have not looked at this one on the damage calculator very much though.
Mega alakazam- Not that much stronger than normal alakazam. Normal alakazam has magic guard which is almost always going to be better. The mega is very fast though ,but normal alakazam does the same amount of damage as it. Normal alakazam does not take damage from life orb so 135x1.3(30% life orb boost) is 175 which happens to be how high mega zam's sp.att is. Mega zam does out speed just about everything though which is pretty huge. Not a terrible mega ,when I used it he just did not much better than normal zam.
Might talk about more of them later.
Feel free to contradict me on any of these I do not mind.

I am glad you want to give gyrados crunch. It has a huge mouth and is like the only pokemon with bite but not crunch. Blew my mind they gave him dark type but no crunch.
To those that do not visit the balance server there is talk about nerfing parental bond to 5% which lets it trigger on hit effects twice ,and break sash without giving her almost 190 attack.
Edit: I am not saying tail glow needs to go ,but such high special attack with a +3 special attack boost is very powerful. I was just trying to get across that I think the mega is fairly balanced but a close eye needs to be kept on tail glow.
The-Blades-slave:
I've used mega amph a fair amount. With one tail glow his spa is ridiculous, around 1057 or so, but it is not very fast. He isn't all that bulky, he won't melt under SE attacks, but he can't tank them. I've caught a few people by surprise, but never really swept with him.
Roloc:
yeah mega amph is no real threat even with tail glow. Ive used it often and best I've done is 2 KOs before it being KOed.
