Once Glalie Mega Evolves it can't continue to fish for more Moody boosts, which is actually a big deal. The whole point of Moody Glalie is to take advantage of the wild boosts as much as you can, and it requires both Substitute and Protect to achieve this as effectively as it does. As a result it needs Leftovers to function, and since it only uses Frost Breath (for crits to ignore SpAtt drops and setup sweepers) and Sheer Cold as its moves the Mega doesn't help it significantly anyway.
ok thanks.
Band maybe?
Off the top of my head, Jolly is only used to outspeed Mega Gengar (base 130), Mega Lopunny and Mega Manectric (base 135), and Mega Sceptile and Mega Beedrill (base 145) after one Dragon Dance (Adamant falls short of these). M-Lop, M-Scep and M-Bee aren't very common at all though so you can cut some speed EVs down for extra HP if you wanted. Here's some spreads
thanks!
Personally I think Rock Tomb is more useful than Rock Slide. Getting those speed drops can come in clutch, especially on the switch.
May I refer you to this informative thread?
You're overestimating Superpower's, well, power...
Ice Fang imo, but it really depends on your team. EQ is nice for the solid coverage, but most things you'd want to hit with EQ can be Paraflinched with Waterfall + Paralysis. If you run EQ, you also miss out on hitting things effectively like Mega Mence, Breloom, and Dragonite. Toxic is something to consider if you already have a way to beat dragons and struggle on bulky mons, because it can cripple pokes like Cresselia and Suicune, especially if you EV to outspeed them and taunt first so they can't recover.
Yeah you're right in your edit, it fits better in the other thread. But just at a glance these three mons are very weak to suicune, which is a really common mon, especially the common rocky helmet set. Bulky waters in general look troublesome
Choice scarf mamoswine can be a problem to your team if azumarril is not on your side, it outspeeds heatran and has icicle spear and ice shard to break through dragonites multiscale, and while it doesnt live after azumarrils waterfall you cant switch azu in on an earthquake cause then in the second turn you can not knock mamoswine out with aqua jet and he kills you with a second earthquake.
A little unsure of whether you mean Mega Metagross or Mega Heracross but I'm assuming Metagross. I have actually been trying to experiment with Mega Metagross myself recently and I'd say that it could be attributed to how it fares against some of the more common threats. Just looking at the Top 12, everything there gives it some sort of trouble and the things it can beat are basically all handled better by something else. That said it's not exactly bad, Tough Claws boosted Zen Headbutt and Iron Head/Meteor Mash do savage amounts of damage and Ice Punch means it definitely has a way to beat Garchomp, Landorus-T, Thundurus and Mega Salamence, but only after Mega Evolving. It's also got very impressive bulk so it can take some big hits for sure. It has a tough start with its first turn's low speed, made worse by the shaky matchups it has with some of the bigger threats and that hurts it quite a bit. Definitely having fun with it myself though, even if it doesn't get enough of a chance to shine in numerous matchups.
You can check when the PGL site comes back up, but I've found that team members with T-wave help Glalie a lot because it allows it to get subs up before attacks. Cresselia with Lunar Dance can also fully heal Glalie so it can attempt a Moody stall/sweep twice. I also believe Gliscor was a popular team partner as a similar win condition with Sub and Guillotine.
Yeah like Demantoid said Paralysis support is really good for the free turns you can get and the drop in speed helps Glalie set up Subs easier since he's pretty slow without boosts. Thundurus is the best coz of Prankster giving priority to Thunder Wave (and Taunt), but Serperior is also really good coz it has Glare which can paralyse Ground-types (meaning only Electric-types are immune to your para-spamming), he's also a great physical check to stuff like M-Kang who are super common in the meta. Klefki can also do the Prankster-Thunder Wave thing if you lack a good Thundurus... I'm not really sure what checks Glalie though since it's mostly up to luck, but Chandelure can hit through its Subs with Infiltrator, I guess Crobat could be a problem since it can also Toxic Glalie through its Sub, and it's 100% accurate coz Crobat is a Poison-type, so it ignores Glalie's evasion boosts. However both these things are really uncommon and are wrecked by Sheer Cold (if it hits!) and Crobat is hit hard by Frost Breath.... He's definitely something I've wanted to try for a bit. iirc GroudonEmpire tried it out for a bit? I know someone did..
