If HP calculation occurs during Evolution, why can't it occur on a Mega Pokemon?

May. 18, 2014



When a Pokemon evolves into a Pokemon with a greater base HP stat than it, the damage is calculated. Why could’nt this happen for Mega Evolutions? It’s essentially the same thing, isn’t it?

Not quite.Normal evolutions can change the HP stat because itcant happen mid-battle. All normal evolutions take effect outside or after battles, allowing HP to be added withouth hassle.Mega Evolutions on the other handcan onlytake place during battles. Most likey would a bunch of stuff like Substitutes and HP restoring moves cause all sorts of glitches and crashes if the Pokemon could change HP mid game.That’s ismy theoryto why the HP stat can only change in between battles and not within them.
