Future Moves+: a (not so) brief analysis and simulations
Datamined. Scopely hasn't announced this, and it isn't on the calendar.
Important Notes Before Reading:
Moves+ are not officially confirmed : they are based on all recently posted datamines, and the moves+ for Kangaskhan, Darkrai, Floette, Zygarde, Magearna, Primal Groudon, and Primal Kyogre are still missing.
All moves+ so far follow two rules : they cost 100 energy (one full bar) and have the same duration as their base version. The only unknown is their Power, this analysis is meant to show how Megas could behave depending on the Power they receive.
DialgaDex settings : DPS, TDO, eDPS (Solo, relobby 10s), Lv. 50, Mega Lv. 4, Party Power 1 to 4.
