Couldn't they just switch out?
Gengar still needs to activate the Mega Stone to get Shadow Tag.
Edit: Drasna why do you look like Joanna!
Yes.
Yes!
Yes!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ugh, screw the legendary birds trios so overused.
that mini-sprite looks like it's stretching out his middle fingers o_ô

it basically means cuddle + uff.
About Shadow Tag:
Similarly, as of Generation IV, if two Pokémon with Shadow Tag face one another, both may switch out at any time. Baton Pass, U-turn, and Volt Switch also allow the opponent to switch.
The held item Shed Shell allows a Pokémon to switch out when facing a Pokémon with Shadow Tag.

GameFreak really likes electric guitars this go around, eh?

Ah yes. Good point.
Mega Gengar would already have to be holding his Mega Stone though.
Dammit!
Let's say opponent wants to switch in a choice scarfer to check Gengar. Gengar uses Substitute in the meantime. Scarfer uses a move, any move to break the sub. Gengar's sub breaks. Gengar mega transforms uses Disable! Choice user struggles! Choice user can't switch out!

Since megaevolving doesn't waste a turn, Gengar comes in, mega evolves, has shadow tag now, opponent can't run lol.
Edit: may have read that wrong....

That sounds really strategic.
Let's hope Disable's accuracy has improved!
It's already improved. It's 100% in Gen V.

I thought disable was bumped up to 100% accuracy
It improved to 100% last gen.

Wait activating mega stone has higher priority than switching out?
Oh didn't know that, I've never used Disable in Gen V.
Not really, as a matter of fact it's quite awful. Hyper Voice is the most poweful special normal attack, at BP 90, the same as Psychic, and she doesn't even learn it AFAIK.
Trace is way better.

Gardevoir can learn Hyper Voice via move tutor.
I don't know if it was confirmed but apparently:
Gible for X
Bagon for Y
As they were both found in the same area in each version.

I thought it was Axew for X and Bagon for Y.

Eh, sucks Gengar is still a stupid poison second type. Too many weaknesses for my favorite Pokemon, and its Mega adds yet another weakness.

At least that's good. That means its ghost moves won't be useless to the some of the once normal type pokemon.
I'm not sure :/
Why u no mega
Did that Chatot knock out Scizor?
Indeed Scizor is far to cool to have a Mega Evolution.
Wonder how Ghost moves will affect Normal/Fairy Pokemon (like Wigglytuff)? Will Ghost moves be useless, like how Psychic type moves are with any Dark type, no matter what the Dark type Pokemon might have for its second type?
Sigismundo
Member
Uh, no, even if they're half-Normal type, they're still useless.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and call Azumarill and Gengar as OU. They've both been buffed way too much to NOT be (not even including Mega Gengar).
They'll be immune.
With Gardevoir likely getting the 80 and 95 BP Fairy-type attacks we've seen, I don't see what a Fairy-type Hyper Voice does for her at all.
Gengar is already OU and Poison being buffed offensively only helps him. We'll see what happens with his mega form. Hopefully they just ban the item and not the pokemon if it ends up too powerful.

The Elite Four's Gyarados or Starmie had no mega stone.
Auto weather nerf is the biggest improvement so far. Thank goodness. Steel type weakening is cool too, though I feel bad for Metagross and Jirachi. That's fine though, they now resist fairy which seems pretty prominent.
And Gengar with great stat improvements and shadow tag? Excellent. This gen in going to be interesting. Looks like it will revolve a lot around taking out the opposing Mega and supporting your own. Wonder if trick/knock off etc can unmega after they've powered up...
