Mega Victreebel's initial appearance.

Round 2 is here! It's time to welcome back the victors from Round 1, and have them go head to head with those who were lucky enough to get a by.

The first new face of Round 2 is Mega Starmie! This strange creature from space only gets stranger, as it becomes more humanoid and a lot more powerful! Its lower limbs elongate, using them as human-like legs that are a lot more flexible and capable to running at great speed. It's also now capable of bending its arms too, using them for powerful physical attacks that are boosted by its new Huge Power ability! With 100 base Attack, it puts it on par with Mega Medicham for its ability to tear through opponents. Its humanoid shape is a little unsettling when you think about it though, as no one really knows why it imitates our shape- is it attempting to communicate with us? Or is it trying to take our place? Either way, in reality, Mega Starmie's design actually references the Pairan aliens from 1956's Warning from Space, the Japanese science fiction movie. Maybe laughed at at first glance, Mega Starmie has a lot of interesting elements to it- and a lot of power! Can it claim victory in this first match of Round 2?

Well, up against the newcomer is Round 1's first winner- Mega Victreebel! It took down one powerful physically attacking Psychic type last time- a Legendary even- so can it do it again?

Every so often I randomly remember that they gave Mega Victreebell Innards Out and I get into a giggling fit. Why did they do that

Mega Victreebel vs Mega Mewtwo X

Voting ended onJun 14

Let's get down to business with this new tournament, kicking things off with a match between an original Gen 6 Mega and a new Z-A addition!

Our very first contestant is Mega Victreebel, one of the first new Mega Evolutions revealed to us before the release of Legends Z-A. Victreebel has gone a long time without a new form, or regional variant, but now it's getting some of the love it's missed out on! When it mega evolves, Mega Victreebel becomes overflowing with its sickly sweet scented acid, barely able to contain it all by wrapping vines around its throat! Be careful when fighting it too, as its Innards Out ability will knock out the foe who takes it down if they're low on health. Not a creature I'd want to meet in real life for sure, but maybe worthy of a vote?

And our next contestant is another Pokémon from Generation 1 that got an upgrade- though Mewtwo was already powerful before the Mewtwonite X! This take on Mewtwo sees its potent psychic abilities matched with powerful muscles and blistering speed. It's said to have a grip strength of 1 ton, and is able to run 100 meters in 2 seconds flat, and with a base stat total of 780, it is tied for the second highest base stat total in the game- tied with its Y counterpart and Mega Rayquaza, and only beaten by Eternamax Eternatus. Mega Mewtwo X also gains the Fighting Type, making it the Pokémon of that type with the highest Special Attack. But more impressively, its crazy 190 base Attack is the highest of any known Pokémon species to date! I wouldn't want to face this one in a fight, Pokémon battle or otherwise! Does its overwhelming power translate to popularity though?

Mega Toucannon w/ Victreebelite

Also known as Mega Touctreebel.

Poison/Flying

The heat normally stored within Toucannon’s beak is replaced by dangerous toxins when Mega Evolved using the Victreebelite. As such, Beak Blast becomes a Poison type move when Mega Toucannon uses it, and the Burn condition is replaced by the Poisoned condition.

Mega Victreebel w/ Golurkite

Also known as Mega Victreelurk.

Grass/Ghost

The toxic material inside Victreebel has been replaced with Golurk’s volatile ghostly energy. When Mega Victreebel attacks, it uses this energy in the same way it did its acid; victims are haunted by screams of lost souls upon being hit.

Rematching Mega Victreebel and Mega Hawlucha (already posted about Mega Tyranitar in a different post where it was overshadowed by me beating Delphox the Unrivaled in Scarlet because she was the first 7-star raid boss I beat in Violet)

Mega victreebell getting innards out must be horrifying visually because imagine your pokemon knocks it out and as it does, it vomits out it’s acidic contents which then damages your pokemon.
