What is the best Pokemon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?

Mega Swampert might be the strongest non-legendary option. Swift Swim in rain doubles its Speed, and 150 Attack with Water/Ground STAB wrecks most things. Primal Groudon (Omega Ruby) or Primal Kyogre (Alpha Sapphire) are the box legendaries at 770 BST in Primal form. If you use legends, they're the clear top picks.

What is the best starter in ORAS?

Mudkip . Swampert was already the best Hoenn starter, and Mega Evolution makes it broken. Mega Swampert gets Swift Swim (doubles Speed in rain) and 150 Attack. Torchic into Mega Blaziken with Speed Boost is also S-Tier — it outspeeds everything after one turn. Treecko into Mega Sceptile gains Dragon typing, which adds an Ice weakness.

How do Mega Evolutions change the ORAS tier list from original Ruby and Sapphire?

Mega Evolution gives select Pokemon huge stat boosts and sometimes new types or abilities during battle. Swampert , Blaziken , and Sceptile all get Mega forms that push them well above their Gen 3 stats. Mega Salamence with Aerilate turns Return into a 150+ power Flying STAB. Pokemon without Megas drop in relative ranking since they can't keep up.

What is Primal Reversion and is it worth using?

Primal Reversion is Mega Evolution for the box legendaries. Primal Groudon (Ground/Fire, 770 BST) gets Desolate Land which blocks Water moves entirely, removing its 4x weakness. Primal Kyogre (Water, 770 BST) gets Primordial Sea which blocks Fire. Both are available before the Elite Four. If you're okay using your box legendary, they trivialize the rest of the game.

Which version exclusives are better, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire?

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are available before the Elite Four with 770 BST. Everything here is ranked for ORAS's Hoenn specifically — the Gen 3 originals play differently.
