If Megas, Z-Moves, Dynas, and Teras were all in the same game, how would battling play out? Whether they're all usable in the same battle or only 1 of them per battle?
>>54515085Lmaoooo the OP pic XDDDDDD
>>54515085For the sake of balance, only one of them per battle
>>54515085It would be a shitshow. Why do you think Ash vs Leon was bullshit? Leon only had Gmax while Ash could use Z moves, Dynamax, and megas in one battle. You would fucking dominate anyone if you could do all that. >oh I need type advantage? Tera. >I need setup? Dmax or Gmax>I need a nuke move? Z moveIt would be like gen 1 yugioh where you could just slap down a blue eyes each turn with no cost and just wipe the field.
>>54515085Z-moves are almost universally useless because Dynamax exists, which gets 3 slightly weaker Z moves (some times at least) with no item drawback.
>>54515085That's Natdex AG and it's a steaming stew of degeneracy that puts BW2 OU to shame. Pic related
>>54515098Then everyone would choose dynamax and nothing else because it's fucking broken
>>54515085Restrict it to one at a time. If you Z-move, you can't tera, dyna or mega. If you dyna, you can't Z-move, tera or mega, and so on.
>>54515218How could they nerf/buff the gimmicks so that they're on equal footing?
>>54515256>How could they nerf/buff the gimmicks so that they're on equal footing?You can't sans Megas because tweaking any one of the gimmicks has an equal affect on all.
>>54515256they shouldn't have oversaturated the gimmicks and made them more broken than the next in the first place
>>54515085You get 1 gimmick and 1 mega. Balance factor being you can't mega a gimmick or gimmick a mega.
>>54515256Make Dmax and Tera eat the item slot, it almost immediately fix all the problems. You have to chose a single pkm to Dmax, and if Tera, you are limited to the single pkm with that single type. Z-moves and mega would still be useful for any other of your Pokémon as only one can Dmax. Tera taking away the item slot makes it a gamble to use, specially for offensive polemon that lose orb/choice item, and probably just useful for a limited number of Pokémon with bad defensive types/ that need coverage.
>>54515256It's literally impossible, specially so Dynamax.Short of a complete and total revamp of all the systems to equalize them Dynamax is the best choice 10 out of 10 times.
>>54515256Even if you somehow balanced Dynamax which is near-impossible to balance by nature, the fact that you have four overpowered gimmicks in one battle means it's already a shit metagame from the beginning. By the time you nerf those to be balanced they might as well be ordinary Draco Meteors and Fire Blasts.
>>54515356If everything is overpowered...
>>54515322Tera and max are only good because they're dynamic. If you have to commit to a dedicated user ahead of time you can get into a matchup where you can't use max because you don't bring your max mon.
>>54515256Make it so that you have to build your team around the mechanic. Maybe have moves/abilities that work with/against them.
>>54515377And that's a problem because? Imo, if they are now bad, then they are fixed. If you want we can implement the old battle mode where you could change a Pokémon item. Pick six Pokémon and six items, do a combination of 4. This only matters for VGC doubles, on singles you always have your gimmick Pokémons with you.
>>54515365Mega Evolution by itself was already a black hole that consumed teambuilding, and one of the reasons SM OU was chaos because you had Z-moves on top of Megas. If you want to see what three or four check invalidating gimmicks stacked together look like, go see natdex AG
>>54515425Natdex AG is AG, here you would still have rules. It has nothing to do with AG, here you have species and item clause. Also you are restricted to current gen movepool. It has nothing to do with AG meta.
