Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex Revealed, Different Than the Original Mechanic!

[LazyBunny]

New biggest HP just dropped

 

[ThePokemonGuardian]

Forget these bulk megas, power protein is nuts

Something to make my boy Garchomp ex from heat wave arena hit even harder as if Cynthia's roserade wasn't enough. Oh yeah!!!

 

[iam10pm]

LETS GO!! .. LUCARIO SIR FINALLY INCOMING!?!?

 

[Bunni]

The most important part about this whole thing is that Mega Ampharos ex is back

 

[sidandacer]

Garde ex rotates when this comes out btw

It comes out after F rotation, you probably won't be playing both gardy to the next worlds

 

[LOTTEN]

Everyone is talking about how these are VMax again but almost no one has mentioned that mega Basics will be tag teams again.

I am not very fond of this being a new precedent for the game, regardless of how these 2 cards turned out so far.

That's the safest assumption, but they could recognize that as a bad thing and have basic megas still be stage 1. The way I see it, they just didn't want mega stage 2s to be a 4 stack, which is what they would have been if they were BREAK/LV.X-likes.

 

[Charmaster:)]

good lord please stop power creeping HP

I mean, it’s only 20 more, but Mega Gardevoir ex could always turn out to be on the low side of the stage 2 Mega ex HP curve. (Both M Gardevoir EX had 210 HP when the max for M EX’s was 240.)

 

[LimitedGif]

Mega Lucario SIR potentially. Just keep that in mind

 

[MarlinRimes]

I don’t wanna worry about this meta until we are good into post rotation

You seem to be ignoring that Mega Lucario is a Stage 1 with 340 HP, a feat that was reached only by Eternatus VMax. Because of that damned dragon now stage 2s have 300++ HP, and now Mega Gardevoir also has 360 HP.

If we keep one-upping numbers like this we might as well turn to Digimon with numbers counting in the thousands.

 

[Vertemes]

HP inflation is definetly a thing now. Hopefully this is the peak of it or it'll get weird...

 

[TheWicky]

Dumb ruling question but you can still use rare candy to skip Kirlia and go straight into Mega Gardevoir, right?

Yes, it's the same as any stage 2.

inb4 Mega Abomasnow being the first 400 HP card.

I’m not ignoring Mega Lucario ex’s stage 2 HP, I’m just saying so far the max HP has only been pushed to 360, but that it could get pushed higher by other Mega Stage 2 ex’s (say, as high as 380 or 400).

 

[frixam]

Am I understanding correctly that we're out of the SV era?

 

[Lonk]

Yes, we're about to enter the Mega era. Which feels weird, knowing Gen 10 is probably coming next year.

 

[Celery]

I don't see it.

Drifloon provides a crazy amount of damage for 1 prize card.

Mega Gardevoir is a three-prize stage-2 liability that Raging Bolt can consistently blow up for good prize trades. Especially with how slow Gardevoir is now.

Probably play one of each, because 360 HP is really hard to one shot for some decks and then you can just turo it

 

[Makima]

with Mega Gardevoir getting 360 HP, is fairly certain to say that we will get our first 400 HP (or more) card this year

No doubt we'll get Mega Charizard X ex that's Dragon-type and has an attack that does 400 damage, is competitively viable, and the SIR will cost $1500 and cause a frenzy that'll cause all other past chase cards to balloon in price yet again

 

[NinJamezor]

GAHHHHHHHHH NOT THREE PRIZERS
