ZA's DLC adds completely broken, OHKO surprise Pokemon that Gen 10 can't replicate

However Pokemon Legends: ZA Unlike other games in the series when it comes to battles, it's shaking up the competitive roster a bit with its new Mega Evolutions, and the results can be seen when Pokemon Champions releases. For now, on to competitive ranked battles Pokemon Legends: ZA It's been a mixed experience for many players, and the main reason isn't related to the Switch in real-time matches, but rather the fact that legendary Pokemon like Xerneas, Zygarde, and Mewtwo are usable by anyone. Now, the Mega Dimension DLC has released the most broken Pokemon ever, thanks to a new Mega Evolution whose power level is highly unlikely to match Gen 10's.

One of the reasons Mega Evolution is so beloved as a gimmick is that it gives new forms to some of the most popular Pokemon out there and makes them more powerful, while something like a regional form ends up having the same BST, just a different distribution of stats. In each Mega Evolution Pokemon Legends: ZA And past games add 100 points of stats to a Pokemon's total and never change base HP, so doing this for critters with inherently high BSTs can create true powerhouses. Pokemon Legends: ZAKo's Mega Golisopod is exactly that, and it can KO a lot of Pokemon already.

Say hello to Pokemon Legends: The New Threat of ZA

Why Pokemon Legends: ZA's DLC Mega Golisopod is the best Pokemon ever made.

Pokemon Legends: ZAThe DLC adds 9 legendary and 11 legendary Pokemon to catch, and many of them will eventually become powerhouses in the game's ranked battles. However, Mega Golisopod is so powerful that it will be overpowered in ranked battles, but it could be one of the best Pokemon of all time in VGC, if it should be legal in the series through Mega Evolutions. Pokemon Champions. Between the incredible stats and type combination, Mega Golisopod might just be the best new Pokemon of the past few years, if not more. Legends: ZA.

You'll see “Mega Stone Discovered!” You can get a Mega Golisopod from one of the Hyperspace Lumiose portals in Reading. Wimpod is usually available in 1-star bug-type portals, while Golisopod appears in 3-star through 5-star portals.

Mega Golisopod's stats in Pokemon Legends: ZA explained

Stat	Golisopod	Mega Golisopod
HP	75	75
attack	125	150
defense	140	175
Sp attack	60	70
Sp defense	90	120
speed	40	40

The Mega Golisopod has an amazing 150 attack, 175 defense, and 120 special defense, making it exceptionally heavy and capable of dealing massive damage to opponents. On top of that, its type combination changes from an already good Bug/Water to Bug/Steel, like Scizor and Mega Scizor, losing its 2x weaknesses to Flying, Rock, and Electric in favor of a single weakness to Fire Times Four, while turning its 5 resistances into 8 plus one immunity.

Why Bug/Steel is one of the best Pokemon type combinations (especially with Water STAB)

However, it's a great switch both offensively and defensively because Golisopod is generally stronger against fire, dealing STAB water damage to fire Pokemon. This means that one can time Golisopod's Mega Evolution based on the opposing Pokemon on the field, dealing with Fire-type Pokemon. Legends: ZA Before Mega evolved.

This is a luxury that doesn't retain their Bug/Steel type with critters that turn into Mega Scizor like critters. Even so, Mega Evolving removes the STAB damage from water moves, but the move pool stays the same. For these reasons, combined with its excellent stats, the Mega Golisopod is one of the best Mega Evolutions in the series and one of the single best critters.

Pokemon Legends: ZA Season 4 will introduce one of the strongest Pokemon ever created.

If that wasn't enough, Mega Golisopod gains access to Swords Dance, which increases its attack, and it also learns several coverage moves. With 252 EVs in Attack as well as 31 IVs, an Invincible nature, and Swords Dance active, the Mega Golisopod can:

One hit KOs any Mewtwo Pokemon Legends: ZA If it has 252 EVs in HP, including Mega Evolution, First Impression, Leech Life, X-Seizure, Pin Missile or U-Turn.
One hit KOs Xerneas in Pokemon Legends: ZA With Iron Head or Gunk Shot, if it has no more than 20 EVs in Defense with 252 EVs in HP, but still has a high chance of one-shot Xerneas with 100 points in Defense and up to 252 in HP.
One hit KOs Charizard in Pokemon Legends: ZA Rock Slide, as well as Mega Charizard with Y.
One hit KOs Primal Groudon in Pokemon Legends: ZA 85% chance of OHKO with liquidation, and waterfall.
One hit Mega Darkrai Inn Pokemon Legends: ZA Along with First Impressions, Leech Life, X-Caesar, and Close Combat.
One hit KO Mega Heatron in Pokemon Legends: ZA With drill runs and close combat.

These are just a few examples of basic calculations and EV spreads, but in a turn-based battle, Mega Golisopod can shine equally or even more due to less emphasis on maximizing HP EVs across the board. Its 40 base speed is not great, but is one of the best VGC strategies Pokemon The trick is to make the low-speed critters go through the room first. Overall, Mega Golisopod is one of the best Pokemon ever made, and the Gen 10 games will have a hard time clearing the bar it sets.
