Why is Mega Salaslam so bad? It has higher Physical Attack and you guys boost his Sp. Attack and give him Mega Launcher... You could have given him a boost in Physical Attack and ability Huge Power or something... I love its design though.

Forgot to change some things for the mega evolutions... my bad, there will be another updated version in the next days.

I agree with this. Salaslam's moveset is mostly physical, not to mention that Mega Launcher only boosts one of its STAB in Water Pulse, which isn't even that good after the boost. That said, Huge Power is outright broken on something with more than 100 Atk. Seriously.

What I would suggest is a bulky physical attacker spread with, let's say, Rough Skin. Since Mega Evolutions don't have an item slot and thus will not get to enjoy Life Orb/Choice Band-boosted attacks, they should either get incredibly powerful abilities or the ability to set up comfortably. If you're fine with me suggesting, a stat spread of +30 Atk / +30 Def / +25 SpD / +15 Speed should be pretty good, able to 2HKO Skarmory with Aqua Tail at +2. Skarmory isn't in this game, but it's a pretty good benchmark for a physical mega.

[WubbaG]

But Rough Skin is only really good with the ability have Rocky Helmet. The Mega Stats spreads are good though

[zerobreaker]

That's true. But then again, other than Rough Skin, I don't think there are many abilities that fit flavor wise... unless you want to go the nuke option and give it Tough Claws/Moxie/Defiant. Or, dunno, Swift Swim - Imagine this with Cirribus and another Water/Ground type. Oh god.

EDIT: Did some calcs, Blimthingy is the only thing not 2HKOed by my proposed Mega Salaslam at +2, and it's outright ridiculous bulk-wise; Add Tough Claws to the mix, and, uh, there goes the metagame.
Same with Moxie (only that it gets even harder to stop later on) and Defiant (Want to stop it with Intimidate? Too bad, now it's at +3).

[WubbaG]

I think Moxie is a good one, like Mega Delta Venusaur in Pokemon Insurgence having this type of ability as well.

[Tao]

Oh guys, I don't have any knowledge about playing competitive, so you two have more knowledge about this, may you want to make stats for the mega starter and their abilities? The types are staying the same.

At the moment i changed the abilities to:
Mountree - Rock Head
Flearoe - Sand Force
Salaslam - Poison Touch

[zerobreaker]

Keep in mind that Mega Delta Venusaur is held back by its mediocre speed, lack of a move that instantly boosts its SpA to sky-high level (read: Nasty Plot), and is walled by steel types in general. Even at +2, without Hidden Power Ground it's walled by Heatran, and without Shadow Ball its walled by Levitate Bronzong. Even if it packs Psycho Boost (which is completely dumb to put on something that's not Deoxys, by the way), the SpA reduction would make it easily revenge killed.

Salaslam, on the other hand, has 104 Speed which isn't the best but still impressive, a perfect coverage with Aqua Tail/Gunk Shot/Knock Off, and can set up to +2 with Swords Dance. If it gets Moxie, once something dies the list of things that is only 2HKOed by it drops drastically, and that's not including Stealth Rocks, Spikes or prior damage. Honestly, any form of damage-boosting ability is dangerous - Mega Charizard barely outdamages it against OU mons with a single boost! (Dragon Dance and Swords Dance, respectively) 

[WubbaG]

Rock Head is a no because it has no use for him, I'd give him Solid Rock, just to make him more tank and never get OHKO'd. Sand Force is not very good unless you use Sandstorm and that's not that good, I'd give him Adaptability, cause that works in both Attacks by boosting its stabs: Ground and Fire. Poison Touch may be good, but I'd give it like Moxie or Sheer Force, Moxie to sweep, or Sheer Force to do more damage with its 2 main stab attacks: Waterfall and Poison Jab.
Stat boosts:
Mountree: +20 Attack, +40 Defense, +40 Special Defense, this would make him a good tank with solid Defenses and a good Physical offense.
Flearoe: +30 Attack, +40 Defense, +10 Special Attack, +20 Speed, this would make him a fast mixed sweeper with Earthquakes and Flamethrowers and a Defensive boost to not get OHKO'd that fast by Physical Water moves.
Salaslam: +40 Attack, +20 Defense, -20 Special Attack, +30 Special Defense, +30 Speed. This would make him a really good all out Physical attacker, things like Poison Jab and Waterfall will hit very hard and with a bit of speed it's even better.
This is what I think is pretty good, for all 3.

Mountree: Oh boy, recoil-less Head Smash and Wood Hammer? Now just give it those moves and we're good.
Considering the other two starters are most likely going to be hyper offensive, this one should be more of a bulky tank - +35 Atk / +40 Def / +25 SpD seems about right, giving it amazing bulk while having enough power to plow through things despite the lack of a boosting move. And by amazing bulk, I mean oh god it tanks Specs Keldeo's Secret Sword.

Flearoe - Doesn't seem too bad, but so far the only Sand Stream user is Monstune who is yet another Ground-type. Stacking weaknesses doesn't seem to be a good idea... And no, no giving the mega Sand Stream, only Rock-type directly benefits from Sand anyways. Drought, on the other hand, might just work, weakening the Water-type moves that Flearoe is just so horribly weak to, while boosting its Fire-type moves. That, and we don't have a Drought user as of now, so why not a Mega?
A spread of +20 Atk / +10 Def / +30 SpA / +10 SpD / +30 Speed would work, making it a fearsome revenge killer that also sets up Sun; the Atk boost is for it to use Stone Edge for coverage or Superpower for dealing with Chansey.

Salaslam - Refer to the posts above. One thing I want to say is that Poison Touch is perfectly balanced, it's just that it's too... underwhelming as a Mega ability. Even Torrent, which is pretty situation, would work better than that if it's activated. I still say Rough Skin is the best to prevent breaking the game balance, but idk, maybe someone else can convince me.


EDIT: On the post above: Uh, Mega Evolution doesn't boost HP. Just a nitpick.

[Tao]

You two, could you discuss this stuff and give me the perfect stats and the perfect ability for the megas? Would be awesome!

[WubbaG]

Mountree doesn't get Wood Hammer according to the wiki. I like the Stat Spread of him though. Drought for Flearoe is a very good ability for him I agree on that one, and his Stat Spread is good too. On Salaslam though, Rough Skin isn't very good without Rocky Helmet and with its Special Defense being lower anyways, who would bring in a Physical attacker? That's why I think Sheer Force might be a better option.

[zerobreaker]

Yeah, that's why I'm suggesting giving Mountree Head Smash and Wood Hammer. They fit completely, anyways.

And about Salaslam, its Ability is honestly just a filler as its base stat is already good enough. I guess you can go with Swift Swim which is still situational but helps with its Speed which is pretty good, but Sheer Force-boosted Waterfall and Gunk Shot off base 148 Atk? With Swords Dance? That's... horrifying. Like I said before, the only thing that's not 2HKOed by +2 Mega Salaslam by base stat alone is Blimthingy, which is stupidly bulky anyways. Sheer Force would definitely push that above the limit, and we'd end up with a mon that sweeps everything by mid-game.

[WubbaG]

It doesn't even get Gunk Shot, and Swift Swim is pretty bad tbh, then I'd say Poison Touch over Swift Swim. Maybe Anger Point? Or Guts? Or Defiant? Or maybe a Hustle?

[zerobreaker]

I.. actually gave it Gunk Shot when helping making the TM/HM/Tutor list, haha.
And for that list of abilities... Anger Point is even worse as you're unlikely going to live a critical hit, or by then you've already destroyed everything on the opponent's side that can take you out; Guts only works with burn considering Salaslam is part Poison, and without an item slot to carry Flame Orb it's just as unreliable as Swift Swim. And Hustle... slap Hone Claws onto that and it's basically the same as the other damage-boosting abilities. Already commented on Defiant before, but I'm just going to repeat that: It removes Intimidate as a way to stop a M-Salaslam who has already set up in its path. Idk, maybe I'm just overestimating M-Salaslam's power, but not being good enough should probably be always better than being too good. imo, at least.

[WubbaG]

Would Drizzle work? If not Poison Touch/ Poison Point it is.

Okay so the Save game files are not in the folder where the Game.exe is.

Here is a picture to find your save files


You will not have 2, 3, and 4 those are my multiple saves I made to test and look at certain things. You will just have Game.rxdata.

When 5.0 comes out this file will not change.
The 5.0 file will still look at your old Game.rxdata file so you don't have to worry about leveling again. If anything you'll have to do one of two things

1. Change the 4_0 in the folder name to 5_0
or
2. Copy paste Game.rxdata to the new save folder in your Saved Games folder.

Also incase you want to save multiple games/playthroughs just rename your file Game2.rxdata then go start a new game it won't hurt anything, it will make a new Game.rxdata inside the folder. Then to switch characters just go rename them back to Game.rxdata/Game2.rxdata

Hope this helped.

help please

i am trying to do everything.

i copied my rxdata files and changed the name, which made a duplicate folder and removed the rxdata file from 4.0. P.S. i had both folders in "Saved Games" (4.0 and 5.0) and put both rxdata files in them. And downloaded 5.0 and extracted it, when i copied both rxdata files, my save file was there but in BOTH games it loaded the 4.0 version, 5.0 and 4.0

I still have my team (which is nice) but i want 5.0! I downloaded it and did mostly everything you did! PLZ GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME SOOO BADLY PLEASEEEEE

I'll work on this when I get home tonight. Unless someone else helps you first.
