The Mega Altaria user played like shit. He let his most important Pokemon, Rotom-W, which checks half of the opponent's team, get worn down to 26% health, when he could just have sent out Latios to wear down Raikou, and even if and after Latios dies (which doesn't check anything on the opposing team btw, other than Raikou itself), bring in safely Altaria to MEvo, at which point it can wall Raikou.yea mega altaria is kinda underwhelming tbh
got a decent-ish replay of swamp rain vs altaria bulky offense...

altaria literally did nothing, not even due to horrendous misplays, but primarily because it COULDN'T do anything. altaria is looking to be a very matchup-based mon, and that's not a step in the right direction for it
tl;dr Mega Altaria walls 2 / 6 of that rain team (Latias and Raikou), so it's definitely not useless or underwhelming, just played poorly.
