Well it was completely overshadowed by Mega Salamence so I think it is a kind of a underrated threat of a moment, which is pretty funny considering it was one of the most dangerous mons in XY. But honestly I still think it belongs in A+ as nothing has really changed from XY now that Mega Mence is gone. It doesn't beat all the new mega's but a fair number nonetheless and can still work around the ones it can't beat one on one.
Mega Mence was just... Not fair. It isn't fair to compare any mega to him maybe besides Mega Luke or Mega Khan (I put Mega Gengar below Mence nigh the Perish Song hax). I just meant now, I can see him climbing back into the limelight and become one of the premier sweepers. It doesn't take much to come in on something that it can threaten and they can't threaten back (like a Terrakion locked into CC), get a set up and then proceed to nuke. I'm still testing, and I'm enjoying it right now.
Av dragalge is by far bad, and makes a great core with alomomola + mew beating a ton off the meta, and is an extremely solid sdef sponge with wish support.
Wait are you trying to say that AV dragalge is good? First you say that "it's by far bad" and then go on to say that it beats a ton of the meta. Maybe you meant "it's by far from bad"?
Dragalge doesnt need a choice specs to dish out a lot off damage, and yes dragalge is very good in that core. Saying that alomomola is setup fodder for gyara just makes me laugh, because basically a lot off defensive pokemon are and will be setup on by it lol. I never said dragalge beats a ton off the meta, i said the core did and Im aware off everything u said in ur post.
Dragon Fang is your best option to bluff a choice item.
Expert Belt would work for those purposes, but if you aren't running Specs on Dragalge, you should probably just run another Dragon entirely. For example, LO Latios hits nearly as hard as LO Dragalge with its Draco Meteor, and is a better mon in every aspect other than wallbreaking. The Poison coverage just isn't worth it.
Mega Slowbro was the victim of the week a week or two ago, so it might be worth it to look through that thread. Mega Gyara with Taunt, Specs Magnezone, and Mega Heracross are some other good options posted in the thread. I've also found Specs Raikou works, it comes close to OHKOing with Thunderbolt.
Heal Block Latios + 3 attacks on offense is pretty cool, shutting down slowbro with ease while also wearing down mega sableye for other teammates to take care off while also beating chansey 1v1 is pretty cool, just thought i could throw it out there.
yeah thats true nevermind that latios set then lol, i hate mega-sableye
latios still beats sableye 1 on 1 though, for what its worth.
It actually doesn't. If Sableye hasn't mega evolved it can get a free calm mind off and easily tank a draco and recover off the damage. If Sableye has already mega evolved then it just needs to click recover on the turn that Latios uses draco because it will never OHKO.
What about Mega Latios, or Calm Mind Latios?
Calm Mind Latios loses 1v1, and Mega Latios really isn't very viable.
Greninja.
In that case wouldn't Taunt anything be good for Slowbro? Keldeo specifically can't do much back to Slowbro besides HP Electric, so something like Gengar or Thundurus would be much better for this.
I think the difference here is that keldeo is commonly a setup bait fpr slowbro, while the two you mentioned force it out. But yea probably it isn't that great if it can't abuse itself those free turns created by taunt, mine was just an idea.
