Talk:Milotic (Pokémon)

Strategy

Milotic's Mega Evolution was designed with the intent to add a different spin on a defensive Mega Pokémon. With Mega Milotic's ability to deal damage whenever it is hit by a special attack in addition to its access to recovery moves such as Recover and Refresh, it is able to effectively make switching in and taking hits more costly to the opponent. Its base stats were higher originally, but because Mega Milotic proved to be quite powerful both offensively and defensively, it was given a lower stat increase upon Mega Evolving. thesuzerain blessed this Pokémon with amazing defensive typing as well with 7 resistances, 1 immunity, and only 3 weaknesses, making it a great stop to common threats such as Scizor, Volcarona, Mega Lucario, Crawdaunt, Kingdra, and Hydreigon among others. All of these factors make it one of the best walls in the game.
