    I would like there to be a Tier only composed of Pokemon that can Mega Evolve. In this tier, all 6 Pokemon should be able to Mega Evolve and it wont be unbalanced because your opponent will also have 6 Mega Evolutions. Anyway, the only Mega Evolution that won't be allowed is Mewtwo X or Y. I mean for this tier to be Under Ubers.
    A Sample Team Would Be:
    Mega Khangaskhan/ Mega Gengar/Mega Manectric/Mega Lucario/ Mega Gardevoir/Mega Medicham
    This is just a sample but I think it would be a really great Tier. Of course, overtime, some Pokemon will be banned.
    Another more balanced team:
    Mega Gengar/Mega Medicham/Mega Gardevoir/Mega Venusaur/Mega Blastoise/Mega Manectric

    I believe the fault in this is that some Megas are not up to snuff compared to the others. Mega Banette for example is one of the worse ones, as well as Mega Heracross.

    If the tier was only made of pokemon that could mega evolve you would see very little diversity and people would just pick the top 6 mega evos that work well together because there is such a small number of pokemon that can mega evolve. You just cannot base a tier around 26 pokemon!

    To "broaden" the Pokemon choices: Any Pokemon from XY and Mega Evolutions. (The limit will probably 2 or 3), if you insist because now you will have to make use of the Pokemon from XY, and not use Previous Pokemon with 1 or 2 XY. In addition, 2 mega evolutions allow 2 Pokemon from other generations so a Team in a tier like this would be something like This:
    Mega Blastoise/Mega Manectric/Sylveon or Florges/Aegislash/Zygarde/Greninja or Talonflame
    Or XY OU Pokemon will be banned but two mega evolutions will be allowed and it will increase the use of other great XY Pokemon besides the one in OU.

    I agree with TwilightAbsol,

    there isn't enough Megas to go around so maybe in time when more are released then we can discuss such a tier.

    Make that 28+. Mega Latios/Mega Latias are now a thing. There will be more Mega Pokemon since there will be a Hoenn Remake with a lot of the Pokemon having Mega Evolutiona

    I have yet to hear of a Hoenn 'remake', and if so, you still can't make a tier with 28 pokemon, if the Mega Latis are even confirmed.

    Next to that fact, you would have to make alternate forms of all the Megas since the mechanic is that you can only Mega Evolve once per turn. It doesn't seem worth it to implement so much work in to a tier that may or may not be active.

    There are only a handful of megas that are actually blatantly better than their originals (Kangaskhan, Lucario, Gengar) and some are just totally worse (Alakazam was only OU because of Magic Guard, which it loses upon Mega Evolution).
    This is just ridiculous; what does this even mean? What you're actually trying to say is to only use gen 6 Pokemon? That's still a very small tier list. There were only 70-80 something new Pokemon introduced in XY, and a large percent of them are Fairy Type.

    Yes thanks for the negative criticism. Also, it's much like Monotype. You have about 40-80 Pokemon to choose from.

    40-80 out of the 700+?

    Doesn't sound as if it'll take off that much with that little pokemon to use.

    And if you want to bring up the limited Pokemon in Sky Battle, the difference is that Sky Battle is an actual play style ingame, and with the goal of maintaining accuracy to ingame mechanics and such, Sky Battle was added, or atleast that is how I would view it. However, a full mega evolution team can't even occur ingame, unless I'm mistaken.

    Not a bad idea at all, but I would change it a little. Instead of having a tier with only Mega Evolutions, I would leave players to use as many Mega Evolutions as they want. Mostly because of the reason that a tier with only 28 pokemon would be incredibly boring. But if we make a tier without a limit on the number of Mega Evolutions we could find out what the metagame would have looked like if GameFreak hadn't put a limit on it! Maybe it could be like the Clear Skies of gen 6, but instead of being less OP than the OU tier it would be more OP!

    are you sure that a pokemon with base 175 SpAtk and 150 Spd is worse than its original form?
    are you totally sure?[/HIDE]

    You can have as many mega stones as you wish in any of tiers; however, the game mechanics prevent one from evolving more than one of those Pokemon and as such creating a tier where you can mega evolve as many as one wishes would require a fundamental change in PO's source code. Long story short, if this was going to happen it would need the server to have modified mechanics and it is unlikely it would be programmed in the first place or even adopted to the main server.

    Alakazam traced Foe Kangaskhan's Parental Bond!


    If you mega evolve at the correct time, you could do some damage. Mega evolve into something like a Landorus, intimidate it, force it out, set up, sweep
