Delay Cape

[jaywad]

For this item, any mega or primal evolution that tried to change cannot change as this item is active, even the holder's mega evolution [in rayquaza's case]

Also, Pokemon who change "During" battles, such as meloetta, cherrim, castform, etc. cannot change forms anymore.

In doubles or triples, it will affect the allies as well giving this a drawback.

One way to stop this is to knock off the pokemon.

So, yeah, there it is

When one uses a move/mega-evolves/changes weather to become a different form, it will say "the opposing Pokemon's cape prevents [insert name here] from changing form.

So? Whaddaya think?

Preventing mega evolution is very very broken. It renders pokemon like Abomasnow/Glalie/Pinsir/Ampharos who rely heavily on Mega evolving practically useless. You may want to rethink how this works.

Um I feel like this is more oriented to be an ability than an item. When every pokemon in existence can hold this item it becomes really hard to mega and debuffs megaevolution be a significant amount. It should work somewhat how damp works imo.

This could be better off to 1 Pokemon with this ability. Having this item can be deeply broken in tiers/banlists such as Anything-Goes, where Groudon-Primal and Kyogre-Primal are used frequently.

This being a thing honestly scares me. Stopping a Pokemon from Mega Evolving/Primal Reverting can become really broken, since these are big mechanics in the current metagame and in-game as well. Maybe making this into a move or ability only known/usable my one Pokemon will make it less broken, and have it relate to the history of Mega Evolution. If we keep it like this, it'll simply be too strong.
