PokemonYoutube 11/05/17 1:34:48 PM #3:	Steel got arguably nerfed. Yes, they can hit Fairy-types for super-effective damage, but most Steel-types are defensive juggernauts who would've probably much rather kept their resistance to Ghost and Dark. <cite>PokemonYoutube posted [p:889808139] in In Pokemon...

The only steel type to come out ahead was mawile and that's because until oras they were definitely the strongest mega that wasn't mewtwo. I still don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to give Huge Power to a Pokemon with base 105 attack, a great defensive typing, solid defenses, and let's not forget that it can get off an Intimidate before Mega-Evolving so that it can virtually always set up a Swords Dance with impunity. <cite>PokemonYoutube posted [p:889808568] in In Pokemon...

Just by virtue of the intimidate factor, mega salamence was a beast too. But at least you could still beat it with two ice beams from a water type since you couldn't ice shard after intimidate and the fear of fire blast. Meanwhile like... Besides boosted mons, not much could even KO on a double EQ. And in the VGC rule set? Fuck. Reason enough to never bother with it because mega mawile and kanga were over centralized for good reason, followed by mega gengar because it had what over 150 sp atk? --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:889808890] in In Pokemon...
