Has anyone thought of the best natures for the new megas?
Sceptile- modest or timid, im leaning towards modest but not too sure
Beedrill- not sure
Steelix- idk
Altaria- modest or timid or bulky

Dependant on purpose within the team, moveset, etc.

Filthy casuals.

[quote=Avatar]So you take a pokemon with high all around stats and use that as an argument to support the diversity of the 4-5 important natures?

Dem options tho[/quote]

In the context of this thread yes.

[quote=bluebomber24]Not neccesarily. Altaria can be run in multiple ways. Adamant, Modest, Bold, Impish[/quote]

[quote=Avatar]So many choices? yea right between high sp att its either modest or timid, high att its adamant or jolly. defensive its either one of the defense raising natures. The fact that you only listed 2 natures in your post just prove my point[/quote]

@iJoonyah: yea but there are a lot of new fast pokemon too. and if you don't run jolly, other pokemon with +nature can outspeed it even if they have a bit less than 145base speed

Beedrill is already wicked fast and doesn't need to be jolly. Make it straight adamant. Sceptile is the same scenario, so modest. Steelix will still have the same investment as before, that being max Hp and max SpD. Make it Sassy so you can abuse Gyro Ball. For altaria I would greatly reccommend Adamant, and let me tell you why. Altaria's mega gets a massive boost in its attack, and it learns dragon dance on its own. With pixilate, you can set up a dragon dance (altaria can live anything with that natural bulk), and use +1 pixilate return for massive damage. You can also have roost on that set, which helps it survive even better. That's the set i'm going to run anyway.

[quote=simaini]beedrill obviously adamant or jolly.
altaria... idk if i would want it to be a special attacker. it can be mixed i think, but idk about special only. it can learn return. since it gets pixilate, it'll be 1.3x stronger and 1.5x stronger from STAB. idk the exact BP of return, but it's around 100. pixilate makes it 195 BP. pretty damn stronk[/quote]

I think most people will just go full ATK on Beedrill and choose Adamant -- it's speed tier is insane.

Sceptile- Naughty/ Mild.. I like mixed attacker

Edit: I wish Sceptile can learn Draco Meteor

The fact I can get it right away with the new version is better to be the first half of the day before I get a follow back on my way home and I don't think that I have a great way of the day before I get a follow back on my way home and I don't think that the day I have to go back and I don't know how much you love someone else to say I have to go back and I don't know how much you love someone else to say I have yet been made

Bulky is a nature?

Beedrill; Jolly or Admant
Steelix; Sassy or Careful

It depends on your team and build which nature you want. For Steelix, though, any of those two natures are fine
