#212701 Do to the fact that the Pokemon Anime has made it cannon. I feel that the addition of adding the ability to use Mega Band and the Dynamax Bracelet in the same battle should be add in the same way that Smogon handles the battles for National Dex Battles in Showdown. This would allow for 1 Mega, 1 Z-move, and one Dynamax per battle can be limited via the rules. But adding it would follow the anime as well as Ash has been shown now using both bands.

#212706 The anime does a lot of things that don't make sense in gameplay, like an Onix being defeated by an electric attack (without any of the loophole abilities/moves removing its immunity first).

Combining Mega and Dyna is not possible in the games, so we have no idea about what interactions and scaling that would result in. Not sure we want to just come up with something, "just because". Especially since it will affect all the competitive players/servers.

dynamax and mega isnt possible in the games because the necessary items arent in the same game. However if the items WERE in those games it would be possible. in pokemon sun and moon z-moves and mega evolution were both usable, just not on the same mon. rayquaza doesnt need a item to mega evolve, but it can not do so while holding a z-crystal. so the same logic should apply to dynamax, so you cant dynamax a pokemon that is holding either a megastone, z-crystal or uses a primal form.

saying that its impossible in the games makes it sound like the game prohibits you to from equiping the dynamax and mega band at the same time, which it does not. your character just doesnt have a mega band in the game. sun and moon clearly established, that its possible to use two gimmicks on the same player, just not on the same pokemon.

#212972 I personally think that Megas, Z-moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization should all be allowed by default if the player has the Mega Ring, Dynamax Band, and Tera Orb required. Just not on the same Pokemon.

Possible battle rules might include only allowing a particular gen's mechanics, or only allowing each Trainer to use one gen's mechanic rather than all three's.
