give my boy crawdaunt a mega he deserves it

Mega incineroar yes yes yes

My hope is that they just use the Kalos starters. Kalos already got shafted enough as is, having it's own starters never get the mechanic that defined its generation would be horrible. That and it would help fix the horrid designs of the fire and grass starters in their final evolution.

A mega could take a more offensive role instead

thing is, snivy and piplup are already HIGHLY likely for z-a, which makes chimchar and tepig far LESS likely, in turn making cinderace and incineroar by far the two most likely picks

Would it stand down is the real question. Joking of course, incineroar has a cool design either way and I’ll be looking forward to whatever Gamefreak decides to do with him.

Imagine if Mega Incineroar got a new ability when mega evolved that acts likes intimidate but for both attack and spattack. Imagine, in the first two turns you experience: Intimidate drop, Mega Spattack/Attack drop, fake out flinch, Parting Shot. You’d end up with one Pokémon with -2 attack/-1 spattack and the other with -3 attack/-2 spattack

Just give Mega Incineroar Huge Power and a speed stat of 160 (just put all 100 points into speed). That would be fair and balanced.

Megas usually get new abilities, so probably

Cue Scrappy Mega Incineroar so it can Fake Out Ghosts.

I'm surprised to see that you're under 200 subscribers. Congrats on 12k views man. VGC content isn't really my cup of tea but I'll sub to help your channel.

Imagine if Mega Charizard Z ends up being a Fire/Dark type with Intimidate

Infernape, Incineroar, & Emboar were all the starters I chose first in my playthrough of their respective games but I'd only want to see a mega incineroar for it to be viable in singles, if not then I'd want mega Infernape because bro that'd be cool as hell 💀

Don't summon him

I'm all for it in general. I want Mega Empoleon for the water, and grass Meganium would be interesting, but Superior would probably be it.

I don’t think gmax cynderace prevents it from being a starter as the kanto starters and gengar both have gmax and mega forms. And also Rowlet was in the last legends game which was 1.5 gens from gen 7 so that argument doesn’t hold water either. Plus since Emoleon and Surperior are both very french inspired, it is very likely that those will be the starters for legends z-a instead of Tepig or Chimchar

I have a tough time imagining a Mega Inceneroar with extra attack, tough claw and stabbed fire blitz while holding to a life orb for one good reason; I thought the whole deal with mega evolutions is that they need to hold onto a mega stone, how does that work with life orb? lmao

Lando-T crying in a corner

I think what has to happen for it to not be a nightmare competitively is that mega incineroar must lose intimidate. I personally would love to see him get a mega, but it’s up to game freak to not drop the ball

I want competitive Pokemon to use the speed or power ability that they use in Legends Arceus. Maybe then I might be interested in playing against people online.

My boy Meganium needs a Mega. He will finally get respect if he gets better stats and ability.

I hate competitive. Makes me want to make a troll team that explodes in doubles.

Im sorry but if we dont get the xy starters to start off with in legends then im not investing cause the xy starters deserve megas more than anyone. Seeing as how they never got megas in there own game... the game that introduced megas... the game that the kalos starters were hyped up in.... and they dont even getc ascess to there own games new mecanic. ....but gen 1 starters did for sum retarted reason. And you cant sit here and tell me they couldnt give gen 1 AND kalos starters megas in the same game. When in oras that games starters got megas ALONG SIDE the gen 1 ones. So seeing as how badly shafted the xy starters got in xy ....if they dont get any, ima be verry dissapointed in both the game and its devs

mega infernape is gonna have the coolest design ever

Tough claws mega ....

Tepig would be the most fitting if it wasn't for snivy being french.

I feel they can just f everyone over and give every mega 2 abilities to choose from.

I hope Charizard Z is a wingless pure fire and basically built like a roided up Charrmeleon with Rock Head for powerful Flare Blitz and Double Edge. Stats could be similar to Mega Swampert.

I just want all of the starters to get megas

My theory: Mega Incineroar will get special intimidate

intim is already the perfect ability for incineroar, so giving it a new ability would be a nerf. This kind of goes aginst the "ideology" of mega evolving so can see incinerorar keeping its ability upon mega evolving just like blaziken does. However if it does get a new ability I think there could definitely be some cool abilities that whould take incinerroar in a new direction. If we want incinerar to be more of an offensive threat upon mega evolving I think the abilities Costar, Defiant, Opportunist, Stakeout, Super luck, and Tough claws could work both gameplay wise and thematically for incineroar. If we want incineroar to keep being a supportive pokemon upon mega evolving then keeping intimidate would be amazing for it. But some other abilities I think would fit are Filter, Flame body, Infiltrator, Inner focus, Mold breaker, Prankster, Scrappy, and wimp out.

Mega Incin should get Regenerator

l meann, even if he gets a mega no-one is forced to use it in its mega-form right, so in that sense incineroar will be strictly better if it gets a mega form even if nobody ends up using it. It's all about potential sets

Consider it could get a completely new ability a new move on top of all that.

Mega incinaroar ability if you switch in you win the game 🤣🤣🤣

give mega incineroar wonder guard purely to be as annoying as physically possible to the haters (/j) As a more serious option i could see arena trap working thematically tbh with the whole fighter aspect

Mega Incineroar's signature move drops every pokemon's attack and special attack by six stages while doing a slow attack that hits 6 times. It also gets the ability "wrestling ring" which prevents any pokemon from switching. Effectively slowing down games to take 5 times as long.

Another year of waiting for Intimidate’s inverse cousin which lowers an opponents Special Attack by 1 stage every switch in. Hell, Defiant and Competitive are the same thing, why couldn’t Intimidate. It’d be especially funny if Mega Incineroar is the only reciever of this, Mega evolving first turn and Parting Shot to bring a pokemon down to -2 on both sides of the offense.

This video glazes over the stat, typing, and ability change that comes with having a new form. For all we know, lumiosian incin would be a dast, special sweeper

Mega Garchomp 2.0

i heard "released in 2025" and i was literally/actually laughing out loud/llol or alol and then realizing its not a joke cus gamefreak will genuinely rush the devs to make it faster

Are you ready for “King of the Ring” ability that lowers both AT and SPAT, as well as a +50 boost to DF and SPDF while lowering speed by 15 and giving those stats to its attack?

Poor Wolfey bruh 😭

I'm predicting it know it will just get the Lightning Rod ability but for fire types moves and it's best partner is Zacian.

The answer to this would be almost universally "no". Changing it's typing nerfs it because prankster immunity is vital in metas where the genies exist. Giving it a new ability literally removes the main factor that lets it be the glue for so many teams. And even if they keep keep it's typing and ability, 100 extra BST isn't worth losing sustain from berries, spore/power immunity with goggles, or raw bulk from AV (+60 SpDef points is equal to AV). Literally the only upside is potential double intimidate turn 1, but that's not worth giving up an item slot.

I would much rather regional forms, unless they rework how Megas work (no item requirement, even if it disables the one already held) and even more importantly MAKE THEM REMAIN THROUGH GAMES. Remember Beedrill? Remember how it was finally made good? Yeah, I do too. And we can go f*ck ourselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, Fire/Steel regional Emboar with the stat spread of HP 110 ATK 123 (+10) DEF 100 (+35) SpA 80 (-20) SpD 85 (+10) Speed 30 (-35) and Mirror Armor or Bulletproof as the Ability. Dedicated Trick Room attacker with amazing typing and solid bulk. With Bulletproof, it nullifies Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball (Fairy attacks already don't do jack), while with Mirror Armor, it denies Intimidate, throwing it back at ya.

I think it's interesting that nobody seems to be considering that a supposed Mega Evolution could be for a regional form of Incineroar, instead of base.

Moxie would also make sense as two other intimidate Pokémon have it as an alternate ability.

It is pretty simple why Incin-M is not a good idea. In the end it would just add more tools. If they are bad, nothing changes and if they are good, we're about to face a menace even fiercer than today's Incineroar. I assume it very unlikely for such a big addition to be an option that is merely adding another layer of complexity without being discarded due to the lack of viability or breaking the game. Then again, I would love to be proven wrong on this.

Imagine they just make it get an intimidate for sp atk and atk as a mega
