![]() ![]() A 4x weakness to SR doesn't help it, either it mandates reliable hazard removal. While buffed Returns (and Boombursts) might be extremely deadly, it gives up its excellent Skill Link coverage moves, meaning Fire-resistant bulky walls (most notably bulky Water-types) can still take on Mega Toucannon. All in all, Mega Toucannon has the potential to be really good in MFA OU as either a physical or mixed wallbreaker. ![]() A huge +40 boost in Speed enables Toucannon to reach the crowded 100 base tier, enabling it to not be a deadweight Pokemon against more offensive teams. This Mega Toucannon concept aims to renew that concept with a buff to meet power creep requirements, but with its Normal-type moves turning into Fire-type ones (and getting SD + Work Up at its disposal!). (Note: it doesn't turn red or orange like 99% of Fire-types, and it doesn't have embers attached to its body (cough cough M-ZardX) that's why I like Mega Toucannon being a part-Fire type with a different take design-wise)Ĭompetitive Changes: We all know how Mega Glalie's Refrigerate turned it into a terrifying wallbreaker in Gen 6 with 20 less attack points. Its beak, the epicentre of its thermal energy generation, glows brightly white - just like melted metal - and can, therefore, hit insane temperatures. In this Mega Toucannon's case, Mega Evolving instantly grows Toucannon's wings and ignites up Toucannon's entire body the same way. Some Mega Evolutions' Pokédex entries cite pain and lack of mercy as some feelings the Pokemon undergoing the process have to get through - that's apparently why they are temporary. Going back a generation, Mega Evolutions seem to unleash the real power of Pokemon by elevating its offensive capabilities to the maximum. The temperature can easily exceed 212 degrees Fahrenheit, causing severe burns when it hits." Similarly, Pokémon Moon states that " Within its beak, its internal gas ignites, explosively launching seeds with enough power to pulverize boulders." Its Pokémon Sun entry says " When it battles, its beak heats up. In Toucannon's case, that toll would be quite high hitting 100 degrees Celsius translates to being able to evaporate liquid water). New Typing: Normal / Flying -> Fire / Flyingįlavor Changes: When looking at Toucannon's Pokedex entry, I couldn't unnotice the fact it is closely related to the physical phenomena of generating heat (which, in real life, requires energy conversion from a form to another. New Ability: Keen Eye / Skill Link / Sheer Force -> Ignite (-ate ability turns all Normal-type moves into Fire-type, boosts their Base Power by 1.2x) However, it has a horrible defensive typing, coupled with poor bulk, making it a target for faster, powerful mons. New Typing: Normal/ Flying => Steel/ Flyingĭescription: Versatile attacker that uses its wide arsenal of moves and excellent boosting moves in NP and SD to run a plethora of different sets.ĭescription: With a high Attack stat and incredible ability in adapdability, Gumshoos becomes a devastating wallbreaker, while Body Slam and Sucker Punch somewhat compensate for its low speed.
