But to potentially have a move (Judgement) which is both Grass and Water type, it would be able to inflict 8x damage to a Rhyperior!

Would actually be 16x, because it'd sorta be "Super, Super, Super, super effective", or 2x 2x 2x 2x effective, simplified to 16x effective. (Or more plainly put, you multiply combined weaknesses not add, so 4x weak to water and 4x weak to grass is 4x4, not 4+4)

And imagine if you could have Mega Rayquaza with a Life Orb AND a Metronome (because Rayquaza doesn't need a Rayquazanite, instead needing some sort of complex explanation involving a mikado organ, some Meteorites to eat, and Dragon Ascent)!? ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE AND COMPETITIVE PLAY WOULD BE FOREVER LOST.
lol actually then it wouldn't be much different cause Dragon Ascent Rayquaza is banned from Ubers.

The move Dragon Ascent isn't banned, just the mega evolution.

I still don't know why Dragon Ascent is called "the strongest Flying type move." Sky Attack has a high Base stat and when you look at Dragon Ascent stat, it's basically Brave Bird (which has the same Base Power) without the recoil damage.

I'm kinda glad too, but not for that reason. Imagine if something held a choice scarf or band at the same time? That would also make moves like switcharoo and trick more complex.

Also, imagine Mega Rayquaza with a life orb. *Shivers at the thought*

^Oi, we settled that one already.

I still don't know why Dragon Ascent is called "the strongest Flying type move." Sky Attack has a high Base stat and when you look at Dragon Ascent stat, it's basically Brave Bird (which has the same Base Power) without the recoil damage.

Well, don't look at me. IMO, it's the best of the three because I don't want recoil damage or having to wait a turn before attacking. Although the defensive drops can be brutal if something with priority decides to go a round, and you don't have/use extremespeed

Literally a One-hit KO then.
Actually, more like a One-hit murder. That would most likely be the only way to actually KILL a Pokemon!
I'm glad that Pokemon don't die in the games except in Nuzlockes.

And on ConSpec values, you know how Lisia cheats by having her Altaria have Altarianite AND whatever color scarf is best fitting for the contest? What if we could do the same? Having a Mega Gardevoir who's mostly in the Cuteness stat with a Pink Scarf, or a Clever-centric Mega Audino with a Green Scarf? Lisia would be WAY easier!
