#2You thought Mega Salamence wasn't enough? Well then, gaze in awe at what is the most powerful Pokemon ever created, Mega Rayquaza. With a BST of
780 and both attacking stats being base
180, this thing really pushed the limits on Pokemon. While both Mega Mewtwos also have a BST of 780, they're limited by the fact that they have to hold Mega Stones. The Primal Reversions also are limited due to needing to hold an Orb. Mega Rayquaza, on the other hand, does not have any item restrictions; instead, it only needs to know Dragon Ascent, which is already an incredibly powerful move. That means that Mega Rayquaza can hold whatever item it wants; Choice Band, Life Orb, Lum Berry, etc. While Arceus also has a BST above 700, it is limited by its ability Multitype, which is useless if it does not hold a plate. Mega Rayquaza's ability Delta Stream can help it survive Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type attacks that would normally KO it; not even
Mega Mewtwo Y can OHKO it with Ice Beam. Its sheer power ensures that even things like Palkia are OHKO'd, Arceus takes a huge chunk of health, and Primal Groudon falls after a single Swords Dance (or 2 Dragon Dances). And forget about trying to wall it with something like Lugia, as even that falls to a +2 Dragon Ascent, or 2 of them if it has Multiscale. This thing was such a stupidly powerful threat that
it was the first Pokemon ever to be banned from Ubers, and a new tier, called Anything Goes, had to be created just to contain it! And in Anything Goes, you can play as dirty as you want, since there are absolutely
no clauses (except Endless Battle Clause). You want to use a team of 6 Arceuses? Go ahead. You want to have a Moody Smeargle Baton Pass boosts to something that's very powerful? Go ahead. You want to annoy everyone to death using a team of 6 Swagger Klefki?
Go ahead. Broken? Hah, that's not even a powerful enough word to describe how insane this thing is. Mega Rayquaza, to sum it up, is RBY Mewtwo if it had a gun in a swordfight. Game Freak, I salute you for defying the limits of Pokemon by creating this absolute monstrosity.
#1And now, there's only one Mega Evolution left, and that is Mega Diancie. Just by looking at her, I could already tell that she was going to be great. She looks like a magical girl who has awakened the ultimate power. That is just glamorous. In the movie
Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, she blocked an Oblivion Wing from
Yveltal just by creating a huge diamond for a shield! She's not just awesome in the anime, she's just as awesome in the games. For start, she plays completely differently from her base form. While her base form focused more on tanking hits, her Mega Evolution turns that around and instead makes her dishing out powerful hits with boosted offenses and Speed. With Diamond Storm, she can hit all adjacent opponents and have a chance to boost Defense in the process. Add in moves like Rock Polish and Calm Mind, and Moonblast and Earth Power for coverage, and you've got yourself a very threatening sweeper. She also has another weapon, just in case you think you can dispose of her by having a status inducer like Thundurus or Sableye: Magic Bounce, which will throw a wrench in your plans. Even some Ubers like Darkrai, Yveltal, Lugia, and Ho-Oh have trouble dealing with her due to this, and in Anything Goes, the ability to screw up Smeargle and Klefki will come in handy. She's everything I wanted out of Mega Evolution: charming appearance, impressive battling capabilities, and a feel of uniqueness, which are the reasons why Mega Diancie is #1.
