I still don't understand why starters have different BST? like why?

What if tyrantrum was a pseudo legendary?

Heavy slam and trick room

Nidoking is clearly intended to be a physical threat by Gamefreak, with its Attack far higher than his other stats. With the stat spread you gave and not giving him better moves, all people will just use a special moveset. I'd give him a much higher physical stat, like 120 Attack/95 Sp. Atk, and give him some good physical coverage affected by Sheer Force. Cross Chop and Gunk Shot for example. And give him a signature Ground type that will work with Sheer Force. Remember, special moveset still has the advantage of not having to worry with contact abilities, burn, and Intimidate, as well as reliable strong and accurate moves: Ice Beam, Flamethrower, etc. Physical moveset is stuck with weaker alternative to those (Ice Punch, Fire Punch) or inaccurate moves (Stone Edge).

glaive... rush..?

(0:45) I am surprised. Why give Meganium the lowest BST? If anything, it needs more BST than the other starters to succeed.

As someone who loves Chikorita… I'm still aware that if you buff it, you also have to buff the Totodile, and Cyndaquil lines… due to them being a set of starters.

I’d say Flower Veil for HA so that it can still use status from its side

Naw, keep speed lower and increase hp. Now give it wish and parting shot

You just got a new subscriber I love Meganium 🤩

While your rework is nice compared to what GF made Meganium into I was thinking a more Offensive Support, but making a few changes to the stats and a different HA to go with it. Hp- 100 Atk- 40 Def- 100 SpAtk- 105 SpDef- 100 Spd- 90 I min maxed meganium, plus with it's new ability Triage along with the moves you gave it and a much higher special attack. Meganium will now it much hard with it's Giga Drains and Draining Kisses while still supporting it's teammates with floral healing and pollen puff.

Am I that unhinged enough to be in 2 of the discord screenshots?

This is actually amazing for meganuim

Give meganium calm mind, earth power, strength sap Take away some of the signature moves too

I think giving the signature moves to other pokemon are just so unfair and Rude.What would Galarian weesing think when you take its move to meganium

Seems awkward imo to change the typing, kinda makes it not that pokemon anymore.

Why is bayleef better than meganium? 2 answers. Anime and Eviolite

Typhlosion's base stat total is 534, not 535

I feel compelled to say; Your videos keep including moves that should not be spread to other pokemon. Namely the spin off Let's Go partner moves. In this video it was "Sappy Seed". That move is made to be *too strong* on purpose, which is why it's only availble to partner eevee, who cant even get STAB with it. Additionally, some moves are key signature moves, like Jungle Healing, the signature move of Zarude. At the very least if you're going to suggest such moves do so while explaining the justification or call out that its not normal. Giving away special moves like that lessens the importance of the pokemon they come from. Overall I hope to see more research in your future videos.

I would make its hidden ability Triage to go with the healing properties. And give it Draining Kiss & Heal Pulse

Personally I wouldve just been boring and given it triage with draining kiss wish, and giga drain and possibly calm mind for set up, then you could also justify its longevity in a battle among giving it some crazy good priority

bruv give it triage or we riot

You are breaking the law, all starters types follow the code of law for their generation. This gen is monotype, can't change thqt.

Personally I wouldve only slightly buffed its spdef and gave it the filter ability again, then giving it 110 spatk. that way its not too bulky and it can be either special or physical

a 90 speed sleep powder is kind of scary

Waiting for meganium or serperior glow up in ZA

I would remove sappy seed, jungle healing, magic powder, misty explosion, natures madness, strange steam in place for pollen puff and strength sap. Those moves I listed are either signature moves, dont fit meganium or are unusable. I would keep 85 speed at least because supporter mons are usually not fast and instead give it 95 spatk. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: give it flower shield as an ability. Does the same thing a leaf guard but doesnt require sun, also protects it from stat drops and affects other grass types on your team during doubles. Misty surge is not that good considering sleep powder is something you might want to run.

4:07 tf Not with a x4 Poison weakness tf

Crazy how ppl see "pink" and automatically slap on Fairy typing lol

Hear me out, meganium should get flower viel. It's one of the signature abilities of the florges line that prevents Stat drops and conditions from being applied to ally grass types on the field, with the draw back being that it's not on a grass type. Meganium deserves to have a stupid overpowered ability at this point

Some stuff I noticed about this rework that I am not fully on board with. 1. Toxicroak's poison typing makes fairy attacks deal neutral damage, and posion is 4x effective on grass/fairy, so Meganium likely does not win that matchup 2. I think that looking at the viability in-game is general and the overall viability throughout is important, but I think you could also have shown the difference in the number of fights that Meganium can cover after the buff as opposed to before. 3. Sappy Seed and Nature's Madness are not staples for Grass/Fairy types, as the former is a Let's Go move that has not been seen outside of that game and the latter is exclusive to the Tapus from Sun and Moon. Similarly, Jungle Healing, Fairy Lock, and Floral Healing are all exclusive moves as well, though I could see some of them (Floral Healing, specifically) working for Meganium 4. Minor thing, but you included Strange Seam in the status section despite it being a damaging move Overall, I think this video is solid and provides an interesting look at a stronger Meganium and how that could affect the balancing of the base game. There is definitely more to explore here in future videos, such as following up on the mention of its distinction from other defensive grass Pokemon like Amoonguss. You could look at its viability with these changes in a more competitive setting, even within the context of a lower tier. I hope that I was able to keep the tone of this comment mostly constructive, I don't mean to discourage or insult. I am looking forward to where you take this channel in the future!

love the changes, ive always wondered if a signature move that heals 1/3 or so of all your party members, on top of the additional fairy typing, would make meganium viable in competitive, like AT LEAST giving it roles in ru, uu, etc

i love you

I feel like Misty Terrain setting might be a bit overkill and it might be more suitable to have something like Oblivious to ignore Taunt or something.

Interesting and I agree with most of what you said except, some moves like rage powder that amount of control would be too much with the mist terrain and the fairy type

Sappy Seed, Jungle Healing, and Nature's Madness are signature moves for Partner Eevee (from the Let's Go games), Zarude (a mythical Pokemon), and the 4 Guardians of Alola (legendary Pokemon). Strange Steam is also the signature move of Galarian Weezing (and Meganium has very little to do with smoke or steam). Fairy Lock is the signature move of Klefki. So _no,_ Meganium should NOT be able to learn those moves.

Itd be awsome if gamefreak did something with meganium

Okay, why the heck do the three starters have different base stat totals??? They weren't even _trying_ to be balanced... :/

Actually, Meganium now becomes neutral against Bugsy, since Fairy resists Bug

Honestly, I think meganium also fits flower veil

Another grass fairy meganium video.

Johto doesn't know what a fairy type is though. Maybe soon. 😁

I think my man didn't fix it, he reflavoured it. Just put triage on it and maybe not flunk the defensive typing any more. The stat changes are welcome tho. Spicy take: Make it water type because cultiated flowers often need more water than their wild counterparts. Also fixing the resists.

You can't just mention it reviving plants and not give it revival blessing :<

The sound mixing in this one is a little extreme. A lot of the sound effects were drastically louder than your voice and pretty rough on the ears.

Meganium my beloved... Ngl I would love to add some of these changes to a rom hack of sorts

thanks for another good video and here is a video idea: what if Haxorus was pseudo pokemon?

Ngl, If Meganium was like this today, I might choose Chicorita over totodile.

sappy seed isnt a real move tho, its a lets go partner move....
