[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Hey Dragonstrike.....I just had a funny thought about how Levels work in your campaign. You explicitly noted that:

 - Every time they [A Pokemon] gain a point in an Attribute or Skill (but not Specialties), they gain levels equal to the level of the point they just gained [...]

So I was wondering....does that count with Mega Evolution? Diam DOES gain 2 Points in INS and VIT while losing 1 Point in DEX when she Mega Evolves, which if we followed the above note means that she effectively gains roughly 15 Levels when she Mega Evolves, (9 Levels each from INS/VIT being raised from 3 -> 5 and 3 Levels lost when Dex drops from 3 -> 2) which puts her at Lv 49. (and once she levels up Special, it'll be Lv 52). That means her Night Shade (which normally does rather whimpy amounts of Damage on average) actually becomes more of a legitimate threat if that Mega Boost gives her more Levels, which is a rather major buff to her average Damage and gives her a reliable attack she can depend on.

If all the above is true, then it be a really neat and quickly benefit of Mega Evolution, but that ultimately depends on your ruling of the matter.

Mega Evolution does not count mechanically for Level increases, no.  The stat gain has to be permanent (and not linked to a Surprise) for the Level to increase.
