MEGA Pokémon Battle Royale Explained! | @TerminalMontage X Gnoggin 

Absolute Legend

I love your videos. Thanks from chile :)

You drop this 👑

That battle royale was awesome! Keep up the great work!

Very cool.

No it isn't; It's still the power of friendship... it's just that the power boost also causes suffering. Mega evolution is supposed to be an ace... not used over regularly, but as a means for the Pokemon to gain more power and win. It's based off of the competitive spirit of the Pokemon itself. Basically, using the energy from their friendship to boost it's own power and gain victory. The Pokemon doesn't want to lose... so it chooses to Mega evolve... it's staking it's honor... Remember, in Yu Yu Hakusho, for the sake of an honorable victory, Hiei chopped off his own arm to win.... And Goku, with the will to protect his home went Kaio-ken 4x and harmed his own body... will to protect and friendship.... but still harmed his own body... Power of friendship means you get more power, but going beyond your limits is still going beyond your limits.

@@TheDeathmail yeah coz glaile totally would intentionally dislocate it’s jaw and tyranitar would definitely have its back split open

Exept Pinsir

@@galning2768 I'd take a dislocated jaw over a fiery, fast but still extremelly painful death any time, yes.

Yeah, it was because some dude on the ORAS team didn't like Megas so decided to make it horrible and ruin everything about them

it fits Sableye surprisingly well

Loved it too

Same

I also loved the mega latis doing the spiderman pointing at eachother meme

I mean you can't argue with results for heracross's lifting sessions

I love how Heracross' additions are "It yeets heavier stuff"

It's cause real Hercules beetles can lift up to 850 times their own weight. Which is even more than Mega Heracross can lmao

Mega Heracross: "It's literally all I do."

I like to think of it as: A: fighting is the “work smarter, not harder” physical type, smashing bricks not because you’re stronger, but because you found where the bricks are weak B: Pokemon don’t generally use their full power in battles, because they’re not fights to the death, and they also don’t need to put everything into shrugging off blows

@@spindash64 A sounds more like Dark than Fighting. But yeah, smashing things with brute strength works better for Normal or Rock than with Fighting.

@@spindash64 yeah to me fighting is more the “martial arts/physical sports” type rather than the mindless brute strength type

It’s emotional damage

@@westernjustice3824 reminds me of the technopack

Oh I thought it was because he was trash therefore in the trash but I guess that makes sense too

something something rayquaza magic

Being a master of air, it is possible Rayquaza brought some atmosphere with it

Not to mention Diancie and Mewtwo were just having a tea party in space with no care for breathing

at least it got a kill

@@whatgoeshere24yeah lol😂

Better than Mega Banette that did nothing and got eliminated

Better then pinsir

I mean if mega ray doesnt have some super op pokedex entree then idk why it would win over something like tyranitar

@@shady8045 because mega ray is supposed to be able to beat down both primal legendaries at the same time?

@@grandarkfang_1482 I mean...double slap amirite?

@@boa_firebrand thats stupid though, you cant just say that you are taking the entries literally and then not take them literally. ANY ATTACK means any attack.

Pokemon fans: "We want Pokedex Mega Tyranitar" Game Freak: "We have Mega Tyranitar in the games" Mega Tyranitar in the games:

Tyranitar for a time in SwSh: guess Ill drop to UU

@@1tsJustKetchup Smogon tiering means nothing in gen 8 tho because they play without Dynamax, so their meta is very different from normal competitive battling.

@@BenjaminAnderson21 Yes it does. The measurement of TTar being OU or UU is by Smogon's standards to begin with, lol, "normal competitive battling", i.e. VGC format and cartridge ladder, don't have these tiers. TTar isn't even that great of a Dynamax abuser in singles.

TYROUGE USE ROCK SMASH *Mega Tyranitar has left the chat-

Yeah but knowing that 1 million outcomes results in you dying really doesn't help much

This doesn’t necessarily mean it can react to or even focus on “all things” so maybe it got tunnel vision on its first opponent. This would be entirely believable

@@meatkirbo Isn't that what happened tho? It started focusing on Gengar and Mewtwo specifically that it couldn't react to Lucario at all when it got hit by the braid.

@@Mr_ProNoob yeah pretty much

Correct once again now haha

Pretty much it’s how I see it for my man, fellow warlock Alakazam. Power brothers in arms 😎 🤝

Same tho I love watching meh boi going on a kill streak

Me too, I just hate that when he does lose its just Banal.

He'd yeet me too!

Gengar be like: *YOU ARE GOING TO BRAZIL!*

@@leelambert1559 My not Ukraine?

@@KINGJERMARCUS shut up

You mean pokemon

Mega Banette can literally just curse you on accident.

For Lucario, it's canon that Lucario seems to be fine mega evolving, but his aura becomes so strong that he will only think about fighting and therefore needs to be trained to not lose control of himself. It's probably a similar case for many other Mega Pokemon.

@@ChibiOnVR read the Sun and Moon Dex Entries most of them literally say they suffer during mega evolving

@@Ultim808 oh yeah that's definitely confirmed. I'm just saying that Lucario specifically doesn't look like it suffers until it becomes overwhelmed by its excessive aura powers, and that it is something that can eventually be controlled.

Well at least pinsir is happy

probably created by the scientists that created mew two because why not give a merciless being power to be a god?

Funny thing is mewtwo in lore has human DNA so this either can work against it by not allowing mega evolution or make it to where it makes sense he can solo mega evolve as all the information given to us a trainer is the only one that can activate mega evolution with legendary pokemon being an outlier

@Aquarium Gravel Mewtwo watching all these pokemon getting mega forms: Wait I'm behind on something related to combat. Impossible. *thinks megastones into existence*

Maybe he just got lucky and was somehow compatible with some of the Megastones? Tbh Megastones in general don't make sense as there is no reason why they only work for certain pokemon, given that several Mega Pokemon couldn't be related to the Ultimate Weapon at all, but still harness its power while others just can't for some reason.

@Harmonicsofchaos I come from the other timeline

@@xxTC-96xx lol

@@Memnoch427 I might have been mixed up which one it was, one of the games where they suddenly make the dex entries violent and grim

@Harmonicsofchaos after Necrozma landed in Galar of your timeline, it brought Mega Evolution and Z Power with it. Enjoy! You will find it better than Dynamax.

I like it, at least it's something different. And it shows how unnatural the whole thing is. I'm guessing the strong bond with the trainer is needed to *safely* use Mega Evolution.

What does that even mean?!

I gave you your comment its 666th like.

Literally Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. Or Pulgasari. Or Dragonzord.

No no, theyve got a point

Nadie discutirá eso.

Honestly, mewtwo didn’t really benefit from mega. All he did was get a little stronger, while (some of)the others got big boosts

​@@sethmathews1860mewtwo has the highest sp atk and phys atk in the while franchise when it mega evolves

@@Bugser64bruh

That's all of terminal montage's videos

@@lixocompleto547 right... hence it being crazy 👀

I like to think that it lost function of it's legs to the first piercing so spun around quickly and tried to do it's thing and got pierced again because (I think) tanks can function the turret without tracks

Well hey, at least Banette, Mawile, and the Kangaskhan's baby are spared from a horrible death. They didn't win the Royale, but they're the only other survivors aside from Rayquaza

@@Karoku2100 And Mega Pinsir.... only for it to be stepped on Mario....

And he's not done yet!

Hehe 69

"Happy" might be the wrong word. "Manic" is more accurate.

no, she have the power of the fairy type, and that things eat dragons with salad

@@donbototo5068 Ray Is also a flying type, hell his strongest move is flying.

Mega Mewtwo Y is actually the strongest mega pokemon offensively. The animation did follow pokedex entry logic though, so you can't expect it to be realistic... however I think the unrealistic-ness of the pokedex just made it even more entertaining and hilarious

@@BenjaminAnderson21 Mega Rayquaza has a type advantage though.

mega rayquaza is mega rayquaza. Nothing else to add

Coffing dance

Me too I guess we were thinking the same thing...

its a koffing dance with the pokemon that famously have sunglasses

F for us all then

Probably was in development for so long that it was still relevant then? (wow that meme was from a year ago)

At least Vaporeon can reform but Mega Houndoom doesn't have that luxury

😂 yo woooow

@@astralguardian5930 Knowing how Pokémon works, it's probably fine after a trip to the centre.

@@NotDanP1an "Gengar, got another errand for you to run." Gengar: *sighs and gets the stroller*

Could someone explain this to me actually? How come they pretend Mega Evolution doesn't exist at the end of both videos?

@@CheesyLizzy i think its a joke, the community doesn't like mega when they first came out or maybe have something to do with the canon

Because they were removed from the games as of SwSh

@@ellieporter3270 yep that's the joke right there..... it's another part of the Dexit outrage that people still are furious about

Oh

Ya I was really sad when it sacrificed itself

@@Naestro9 again...

Megagross be like: TENNO HEIKA

I choose the way I die! Banzai!

Its petty but sure

Best way to get rid of fairies.... Crush them

My boi ampharos got clapped along with 'em :(

talk to the tail

For once, tails beats heads

Even if they went by ingame stats, not lore, Rayquaza would probably still win

Maybe even just a cameo like you see them duking it out in the background while Rayquaza is too busy stuffing its face full of meteor.

*PTSD Intensifies*

That's a really good theory.

And I always thought the Pokemon Adventures Manga or Anime( it would never do) could utilise that in showing a story based on saving pokemon with mega evolution where the pokemon is addicted to it like drug and they are slowly dying.

I really like that, so much better than just ,"MEGA EVOLUTION IS EVIL!"

it reminds me of the Dark Dragons concept from Dragon Ball Gt..

I like the idea that Rotom-dex was messing with you by making all the entries dark and edgy. ESPECIALLY the Mega Evos because he didn't have one. :D

bruh lmao

Marble cake?

"Did marbles hurt you?" "No, kiddo. I hurt me. I also hurt marbles. I feel worse about the marbles." "All I wanted... was to save every marble in front of me."

@@Moredistress you ok there Actually Satan?

“Marbles,hurt me!”

Everybody gangsta til rayquaza dies to a seesaw

it's like two different Godzilla clashing together, to prove the strength

It reminds me of when magneton fought meta gross in pokemon

@@KINGJERMARCUS keep telling yourself that man

wasnt it just a teaser to mega not being in the games anymore so gigatamax battle royale?
