So according to the info Serebii Posted...
The Rupee Gremlin (Mega-Sableye) gets Magic Bounce but keeps it's typing. And increased DEF & SPAT but less SPEED.

Hmm, I wonder how this will effect it's uses...

Anti-prankster instead of prankster.

My guess is it'll come in, set up a prankster will-o-wisp, m-evolve and start going to town.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

It'd probably depend on the scale of his defense buffs. Since he won't have leftovers, then he'd be reliant on recovery to wall things.

I think prankster is more useful though. Unlike Espeon who comes with magic bounce, you can't switch in Sableye to bounce back something unless it's been megaevolved first. Not to mention the biggest fear of any sweeper is a prankster user calmly waiting in the sidelines with burn / paralyze. Walls... well they're kinda a dime a dozen. The niche that mega Sableye would probably fill is that of a wall that isn't weak to earthquake (always one of the better things to have) and can't be statused.

So basically he'd be Gliscor.

Or 200, if it's in Minish Cap.

It seems like it could work well as an anti-lead/anti-physical lead.  Since speed calculation is determined before Mega-Evolution, Sableye can mega-evolve on the first turn, get its bonus from Prankster to do whatever first (Taunt, Will-o-Wisp, Swagger in Battle Spot, Sub or other self-boosts), and if it didn't use Taunt, threaten a Magic Bounce as well.  It does depend on its stats, though; that speed drop won't do it many favors.

That doesn't work.

Prankster isn't a speed calculation. It's a priority calculation (e.g: priority +1). Since he only performs his move after he megaevolves, he loses the priority. And regular Sableye ain't particularly fast.

Turn order in general, from both priority and speed, is determined before anything occurs in the battle turn, including Mega Evolution - Mega Evolution has some rather interesting interactions with other high-priority events (it is beaten by "wielder goes first" messages, beats a switch-empowered Pursuit, and is otherwise beaten by switching).  Banette suffers the same problem in reverse - it doesn't gain the priority boost on the turn it mega evolves.

If that's the case then yeah, it could do something like that. Still very niche though.

Maybe you could keep it in your deck as a dual-role pokemon. So if the enemy doesn't have any major physical sweepers like Blaziken, then you can send it out to fuck with the enemy lead. But if there's a big physical sweeper, then you keep it in deck as your prankster paralyze.

It'd be pretty hilarious if it gained Shuckle levels of defense. It only has one weakness and is immune to three different types. You can't even toxic it hahahaha.

Does anyone possibly want the GameBoy Pocket that was used to translate R/B/Y into English? Because it's currently being auctioned off right now, right here.

Auction rules: Donate via the link under the stream to bid. After nobody donates for five minutes, the person with the largest total donations wins.

EDIT: Note that all donations go to charity, so it's not so bad if you don't win.

EDIT2: Yeah, it's at $549 now.

EDIT3: Holy shit, the translator himself is in the Twitch chat.

EDIT4: Aaand Bulbagarden won for $853.

Probably the most entertaining Pokemon match I've had yet.

For anyone who doesn't know, Challenge Cup 1v1 basically lets you choose between 6 completely random pokemon. All their moves and items are random, along with the pokemon. You can only choose one and you 1v1 the enemy. Whoever wins the match wins.

So, has anyone picked up their Fancy Vivillon off Mystery Gift yet?  We've hit 100 million trades, so it's been released until the end of the month. ^_^

I'm seeing more and more sceptiles in triple battles now.

I am now a Sceptile hipster.  I had him as a cornerstone of my team before he got a megaevolution announced.
