    Being a pegasus though, is more important than being able to fly. Fairy wins.

    But flying defines what a pegasus is, a winged horse. Otherwise, it is just a horse.

    Mega-Rapidash. Yes please. Give me a gorgeus pegasus to ride while mew is laughing next to me and make it able to learn Fly with an animation. Yes. Do that.
    Mega-Hypno. OH YES. So much pokedex scary story they can build on

    Now that I am thinking about this... It would maybe be a good idea for the future to merge all mega-stones to one stone and have that stone fit every pokemon. Too much clutter in bags, and with their suggestion that everything will have a mega at some point... yeah.

    Mega-Kingdra would be interesting.
    Mega-Beautifly. Yes.
    Mega-Raichu, PLEEEAAAAASEEEE.
    Mega-Musharna. You know it must happen. "You don't want me to open my eyes. Shhh"
    Mega-Sawk. Gief.

    So many to list, wow. We really can use more megas.
    I also think that it would be cool to add mega evolutions to some of the older bland single type Pokemon that are pretty much completely outclassed by newer additions. Hypno/Golduck/Rapidash for example all have decent base stats but nothing that would make them stand out.

    Of course I would like to see more Grass type mega evolutions as well, especially for Vileplume/Shiftry/Cradily/Cacturne. Jumpluff would be nice too but it would require some radical stat tweaking and/or powerful new ability.

    Could boost Jumpluff's defensive stats and give it Flower Gift to make a fast utility Pokemon. No way it could be top tier without a total stat redistribution but it'd at least be more useful in maybe RU or UU doubles.

    Also, mega Vileplume is a must.

    True. Thing is though, that a pegasus is a mythological being, and as such, it existing is much more important than its ability to fly. Meaning that for Pokemon it will make much more sense to have a Pegasus pokemon and it being Fairy, because it exactly is a beast of legend, rather than making it a Flying type, because it can simply fly. Many pokemon can fly, and they are not of the flying type. As such...

    FAIRY.

    A pegasus is a creature of the light, bro. Pokemon ain't doing corrupted shit too.

    OR

    Mega-Rapidash can go Unicorn mode instead of pegasus. That's a possibility too.

    OR

    Make it have 2 megas. One for the land with fairy/fire and one of the sky with Flying/Fire. That would be nice! They could also make the unicorn one a Special Attacker, and the pegasus a physical one with brave bird spammage. OH DEAR!

    DO IT, GAME FREAK!

    We need to discuss the most important mega ever, Meganium, other then the cool double mega mega name, Meganium is commonly considered to be the worst starter. being one of only 3 out of 15 starters in the NU tier with Samurott and Torterra, both of which imo are better then Meganium.

    The most popular ideas seem to be giving it either a Fairy or Dragon secondary typing and while i would prefer the fairy over the dragon (cuz i want my mega serperior dragon). It would receive stiff competition from Whimsicott if it doesnt get a decent ability and expanded movepool to work with. Whimsicott while frail does get Prankster and some gems like Stun Spore, Moonblast, Hurricane and Encore plus it wouldnt need to hold a megastone.

    I'm going with Insurgence's fanmade Mega Meganium and say Grass/Fairy with Magic Bounce.

    It has a 80/140/140 bulk, and 82/83/100 offenses. Sounds pretty good to me.

    Meganium's current stats for reference are: 80/82/100/83/100/80.

    I would go with Dragon/Grass and change the design to a Dromiceiomimus. The flower can go... wherever. Venusaur has it on its butt...

    Mega-Evolution Ability: Chlorophyll.
    Mega-Evolution Stats: 80/170/115/50/115/120.

    Meganium's physical movepool is far better than its special one. With Leaf Guard as its pre-mega evolution ability, Meganium can be a total menace, being immune to status until mega-evolving, and then proceeding to destroy whole teams with its excellent physical movepool under the sun.

    What would you be running on a physical mega Meganium?
    My guess would be:
    -Petal Blizzard
    -Outrage
    -Earthquake
    -Synthesis/Iron Tail/Double Edge? (Body Slam an option perhaps as well)

    Decent type coverage. However Meganium's success (mega or non mega) is based around sunlight being up. In my opinion a dangerous strategy, with how weak I feel weather is. Also once you mega evolve you are open to a burn which is really crippling.

    In the end what I'd like to see is a mixed set be viable, keeping Chlorophyll
    80/132/110/133/110/100
    -Outrage
    -Solar Beam
    -Earthquake
    -Ancient Power/Synthesis

    Wouldn't solve the weather issue, burn is less of an issue though.

    I didn't check the values, but maybe he shifted some stat points from something like Special Attack to some other stat?

    Who will manage to burn you with 120 base Speed and Chlorophyll bar Prankster Sableye? Or even without sunlight. And nah, weather is just too underestimated. Also, with Grass, Dragon & Ground as attacking moves, you hit everything for at least neutral, bar Skarmory, which is phenomenal. But sure, to each their own, I guess. Plus, it really does not hurt to limit a pokemon's success chances by simply having it fulfill some prerequisites like having the sun up, I feel.

    With the stats you listed, it will be doomed to mediocrity. Why use a mixed mega? Get Char Y for special, X for physical. Anything will be better than mega-meganium if it's doomed with a 100 base speed and a really mediocre for a mega 132 atk & spatk stat.

    For attacks
    -Seed Bomb
    -Outrage
    -Earthquake
    -Synthesis

    Yeah, SpAtk, is reduced and can be reduced even more while we are at it, if needed.

    Petal Blizzard is stronger than Seed Bomb, though, by 10 points. Blizzard, not Dance. It's physical

    Isn't petal blizzard a 2-3 turn attack like outrage? I wouldn't want both my stabs to be uncontrollable, if that's the case.
