I have decided to compile and share many teams using Megas from Waves 1 & 2. While I made some of them, I also found others. As such, let me preface this thread by acknowledging the work and dedication of the players who created many of these teams. None of this would be possible without you. Please feel free to use and/or adjust any of them at will. If I ever have enough time, I will attempt to add a brief, explanatory description below each team, but I make no promises! These teams have now been released into the public domain. If you also wish to share some teams, you may do so here. After all, the main goal of this thread is to archive teams that can help players and make PvP more accessible. Please keep in mind that some Megas are currently missing. I will do my best to continually update this list by adding and removing teams as the meta continues to develop or changes altogether. Sample Teams Mega Abomasnow Mega Aggron Mega Altaria Mega Blastoise Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y Mega Gallade Mega Garchomp Mega Gardevoir Mega Gyarados Mega Heracross Mega Latias Mega Latios Mega Lopunny Mega Scizor Mega Steelix Mega Swampert Mega Venusaur Special thanks to @Dakivid for the 3rd Mega Lopunny team and to @Black for putting up with me and taking the time to review this list.

Hello everyone, As we all know, the current system of IVs rerolls for the legendaries can be pretty frustrating : It is 100% RNG-based, and there are no ways to make sure that you'll get a decent and/or epic legendary after X amounts of tries. It is also known that IVs rerolls are pretty expensive, as one piece usually costs between 750-800k. You can only get some from the PvE shop (250 coins) / PvP shop (150 coins) / Solaceon Daily Quest. (at the end of day 7, RNG based) Therefore, we can all agree to say that IVs rerolling is an end-game mechanic which is little to not accessible to new / poor players. I usually have no problems with end-game ressources aimed towards the old players. However, I can see an huge issue with it : It benefits A LOT the PvP players which can afford to buy some. Let's take a look at Smogon's ORAS OU : - Azelf OverUsed - Heatran OverUsed - Jirachi OverUsed - Landorus-Therian OverUsed - Latias OverUsed - Latios OverUsed - Manaphy OverUsed - Mew OverUsed - Raikou OverUsed - Thundurus OverUsed - Tornadus-Therian OverUsed - Volcanion OverUsed - Zapdos OverUsed - Thundurus-Therian UUBL - Keldeo OverUsed - Not released in PRO yet - Kyurem-Black OverUsed - Not released in PRO yet - Victini UUBL - Not released in PRO yet - Zygarde UUBL - Not released in PRO yet 18 overused legendaries - 4 of them aren't released yet. Now let's take a look at the new legendaries which were considered to be overused in US/UM : - Magearna OverUsed - Tapu Fini OverUsed - Tapu Bulu OverUsed - Tapu Koko OverUsed - Tapu Lele OverUsed - Hoopa-Unbound UUBL - Not released in PRO yet (didnt count it in ORAS as it was UBER) 6 overused legendaries - 1 of them is not released yet. IMPORTANT : I do not consider Ultra-Beasts to be legendaries. If they are released in PRO as such, you can add a LOT of them in the list above. And don't forget about the likes of : - Suicune - Kyurem - Celebi - Cresselia - Uxie ... Now, let's count the exact number of OU Pokemons in Smogon's ORAS : 51 OUs + 17 UUBLs = 68. Out of 68 pokemons, 22 of them are legendaries. 22/68 x100 = 32,35 %. Legendaries make up over a THIRD of the entire ORAS Overused metagame. I'm not even going to discuss their viability, we all know a lot of them are really good at what they do, and legendaries are known to often shape the way a metagame is played. What I'm trying to say here is that a player without legendaries is bound to be HEAVILY limited in terms of team-building. I'm not telling that you cannot play without one of them, but we have to be aware of how strong legendaries are. All of this wouldn't be a problem IF rerolls weren't so expensive. A new / poor player cannot afford to buy a lot of them, and will more likely focus on buying regular Pokemons instead. A regular (good) Pokemon usually costs between 1 and 10 millions. (depends of the rarity, etc.) A good legendary can cost you more than 50+ millions if you are unlucky. I know some players which rerolled 50+ times a single legendary in order to get the desired IVs / Hidden Power type. And this issue is going to be bigger in the future : One day, the Tapus will be released. The result will be a huge metagame shift were the four of them are mandatory in most of the teams you build. Now, tell me how can an average player play in such metagame if he has to reroll 15+ times per Tapu ? The current system only benefits rich and old players in the long run. A new player will struggle a lot to get started, and most of them would just simply stop playing the game after realising it. I know PRO is a farming game with a lot of RNG. I know legendaries are meant to be end-game content (and thus, expensive). But right now the current price of rerolls are insane. I thought of the following idea : What if rerolls had a "pity" system ? The reroll mechanic reminds me of gacha games : You're trying spawn an very rare "unit" from a limited pool of various units. The interesting part is that in some gacha games, you are forced to get the said unit after X tries. I could really see a similar system implemented in the IV rerolling mechanic : "After X rerolls you are forced to spawn a legendary with X IVs" For example, (i'm not trying to balance it so don't pay too much attention to the numbers i'll say) After 10 rerolls, you are forced to get a 120+ IVs legendary. If you manage to implement a similar system + another ways to get IVs rerolls, it would surely ease a lot the PvP experience of players who couldn't afford these tickets before. Any feedback is appreciated ! I'd really like to see other suggestions. I'm not against constructive criticism as well. Thanks for reading Keabu

So i wanna speak about something that i already mentioned in ladder tournament discord but i got no answer . Before the ladder reward changes , ladder players were getting (700-(X-1)*5) pvp coins (X being their ladder position). Now the most u can get is 600 and some out of the pvp quests . Id like to see adding some rewards for 400 500 and why not even 600 rating . Not something crazy maybe something like 30 coins like its is in 300rating. Cause now the only ones rewarded from this are the non ladder players . Adding those rewards wouldn't only be a motivation for ladder players to go higher and higher but also for players that get decent rating but not quite enough for ladder to try their limits etc, thus making the game more competitive ,which is something rn the game is starving for.

please make the mega stone for steelix more easy I never did excavation in my life and steelix is the most mega I need ad want 1000ap is kinda unfair please make it more easy

+1 and completely agree with what Ghabra's said.

+1 , there is absolutely no benefit to going 500+ rating unless you re aiming for ladder position number 1 , or just flexing . Not to mention how mentally tedious and time consuming it is to reach that rating , its a very high risk very low reward process. I think players who can achieve that should at least get some sort of reward for their effort.
