In my opinion. The monsters seem good but not groundbreaking which is good, but not good enough for me to roll especially since dark monsters normally synergize.
Based upon test event pumpkin’s poison eater couldn’t one shot tagonoshi the first time and then did massive damage the second Time and the poison massacre as always I feel can’t sweep.
Maggot has double poison chomp which is great, and I think the mons has great potential but I don’t believe they’re worth the roll.
Maggatsuoh was totally over hyped. Looks like a solid legend but doesn’t come even close to the potential Delug had in his release. Comparison because Delug is story mode final boss, maggat is online story final boss.
Lots of monsters seem to get overhyped. Mojinator is a good example! Maggat has a very nice moveset with quite high speed killing moves and two immunities. People were especially keen on venom chrono killer and its 70TU. Stun immunity and poison immunity are no joke either, they definitely make it a good monster. The issue is that with such slow speed Maggat doesn’t play so well in the PvP meta where things often need to make a big impact or if they’re slow they need to have some really positive benefit like Peng’s slayerbane all or Oak’s double repulse and auto-poison. Those two I mentioned there have hold ground too, which helps out with their slow speed.
Maggat can potentially die before doing that much in a battle and to try using toxic conversion → blight bomb will be very tricky because of Maggat’s slow speed AND the 78s before the Maggatoid gets a turn in which the opponent can kill it very easily. I think it Maggatsuoh had 50-60% speed people would be raving about it but as it stands the monster is a bit more balanced and is simply a good sweeper with combo potential. It will probably work a lot better in PvE when people figure out the best ways to utilise blight bomb to sweep through the enemy team up to three times. Blight bomb was the thing that most excited me.
Pumpking is quite cool and can fit nicely into poison teams as a sweeper. Nothing overly special but a good monster. I said similar things about Jaguardion but I think Jaguar is a better monster because of the stun immunity.
