So after this, can we talk about Aegislash? Maybe Mega Mawile too if we want to make me (and only me) happy? No? Yeah, alright, it was worth a shot. Anyway, while I've yet to actually test Giratina-O in OU, I do feel like it's going to be an outrageous threat, if not outright broken. While...

While the loss of her Mega Evolution hurts, I feel like Mawile can still be a huge threat thanks to Sheer Force and Swords Dance. Life Orb + Sheer Force is already absurdly powerful, and thanks to Pokebank allowing her to learn the Elemental Punches, she's not short on move options either. Add...
