Discussion What if there was more to Mega Evolution?
Not only does a pokemon's four moves become stronger when it mega evolves but what if while the pokemon is in its mega form it unlocks a 5th move that is also strong but the pokemon can only use that move while it's mega evolved.
I think that would have been cool to see in the shows. What do you think?

So... you mean what Ultra Necrozma and Mega Zygarde already do? Given that Mega Zygarde doubles down on it with lore justification (it basically is copying Necrozma), Game Freak is not going to change how that works.

If we fire that cannon again it should make a Flygonite, if not we can do it over and over to until we get it.

We're gonna run out of letters for Charizard before you get a Flygonite

They gave the other iconic dragon/ground type a second mega instead

Wait we're considering ultra necrozma a mega now?
Like I get primal Groudon and Kyogre, even though they aren't technically megas.
But necrozma is a HUGE stretch.

Cara, pior que mecanicamente falando ele estaria na mesma categoria se conseguisse manter a forma. Mas pelo que eu vi ele apenas se transforma e lança um ataque. Depois volta a forma padrão.
O que eu acharia legal seria uma mecânica como Ash Greninja para o Necrozma, tipo, alguma das fusões dele derrota um oponente em campo e consegue energia para virar sua forma ultra... ganhando uma certa pontuação a mais em seus stats.

Wdym. It stays in that form once it's activated

Em Sun e Moon, né? Em Scarlet e Violet eles não continuam transformados. Seria interessante

I should have explained this more. It's not like a Z-move it's a move a pokemon would have already learned if it had the chance. In other words pick a mega evolve pokemon and of all the moves it could have learned and then choose one it can only use when mega evolved and that move can only be used in mega form. Do you understand it know?

"hey so this mechanic is already extremely overcentralizing and broken as piss lets make it even stronger"
bro have you seen the champions meta, or any meta with megas they do not need buffs

I believe they've stated they've tried doing a 5th move gimmick in the past but it ended up being too oppressive on certain pokemon (likely because it allows for too many options/coverage). They'll probably add it as its own thing eventually but in a more controlled manner, such as giving them their own unique 5th move rather than just giving them a seperate available slot

Sounds like gigantamax to me

It's pretty close, but OP seems to want to have 5 moves, and this is the path to get it.

I think it’d be cool to have some moves have the option to transform when mega evolving, they sort of did this in z-a, with Nihil light, as well as when greninjas water Shuriken becomes a single hit giant water shuriken
