- Substitute / Synthesis

[SET COMMENTS]
With its absurd power thanks to Fairy Aura, as well as its high stats, Mega Floette serves as a devastating wallbreaker and cleaner for bulky offense and hyper offense teams alike. Calm Mind amplifies its power further, allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Meganium and Primarina after Stealth Rock with Moonblast, as well as 2HKO physically defensive Corviknight. Draining Kiss helps it set up easier against weaker foes such as Hatterene and Rotom-Wash, and it improves Mega Floette's trading capabilities against stronger foes such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott. Light of Ruin is a more aggressive alternative, with its insane damage output allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Mawile and Ceruledge after a layer of Spikes, at the cost of its own longevity. Substitute blocks status conditions, such as from Clefable's Thunder Wave and Toxapex's Toxic. It additionally lets Mega Floette punish non-King's Shield variants of Aegislash by forcing it into its frailer Blade forme. Synthesis is an alternative that improves Mega Floette's longevity further. Maximum Speed lets Mega Floette outspeed maximum Speed base 100s such as Volcarona and Mega Staraptor while Speed tying Garchomp.

While Mega Floette is ridiculously powerful, its lack of coverage makes it susceptible to bulky Fairy-resistant Pokemon, such as Galarian Slowking, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. Mega Dragalge can also act as a soft check, using its special bulk and Regenerator to stomach an unboosted Moonblast and pivot out, although boosted Moonblast can 2HKO it. Steel-types such as Mega Metagross and Excadrill can threaten Mega Floette offensively, but they are not reliable long-term switch-ins, as even unboosted Moonblast heavily damages them and neither has reliable recovery. Additionally, Mega Floette's mediocre physical bulk means it is prone to being outsped and OHKOed by threats such as Mega Metagross and Sneasler, as well as priority from Mega Scizor. Therefore, Hippowdon makes for a great partner for Mega Floette, being able to switch into these offensive checks, as well as against Galarian Slowking. Corviknight can also switch into various attackers such as Excadrill and Sneasler threatening Mega Floette, has access to Defog to remove entry hazards, especially Toxic Spikes, improving Mega Floette's longevity, and pivots against Rotom-Wash and Primarina for Mega Floette. Hazard support from Hisuian Samurott and Garchomp is heavily appreciated by Mega Floette, allowing it to OHKO Mega Meganium with boosted Moonblast. Both of them can beat Galarian Slowking, while Mega Floette can handle bulky Hatterene, Hydreigon, and the aforementioned Rotom-Wash. On more offensive teams, Volcarona serves as a great teammate, being able to punish Mega Scizor with ease, and helping overwhelm their shared checks, especially if using Psychic to break past Toxapex. It also appreciates Light of Ruin Mega Floette heavily weakening or removing Galarian Slowking. Ceruledge and Blaziken can also be beneficial in breaking past Steel-types, with Ceruledge packing priority support for boosted foes such as Mega Delphox and Dragonite. Finally, Araquanid, Glimmora, and Excadrill serve as strong hazard leads for the hyper offense structures Mega Floette works well on. Sticky Web prevents faster foes such as Mega Greninja from revenge killing Mega Floette, while Glimmora and Excadrill improve on Mega Floette's damage with Stealth Rock, such as letting it OHKO Archaludon with Moonblast. They're both additionally able to remove opposing hazards with Mortal Spin and Rapid Spin respectively, improving Mega Floette's longevity.

With its absurd power thanks to Fairy Aura, as well as its high stats, Mega Floette serves as a devastating wallbreaker and cleaner for bulky offense and hyper offense teams alike. Access to Calm Mind amplifies its power further, allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Meganium and Primarina after Stealth Rock with Moonblast, as well as 2HKO physically defensive Corviknight and Mega Mawile 2HKOing Mega Mawile with +1 Moonblast is not super relevant given you're getting nuked by Play Rough. Light of Ruin is a more aggressive alternative to Moonblast, with its insane damage output allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Scizor and Mega Metagross after a layer of Spikes This is after a Calm Mind boost as well, and these Pokemon have no trouble KOing Floette due to Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch and Mega Metagross's Meteor Mash so the opportunity to hit them with +1 Light of Ruin is almost non-existing. This is however a good place to mention Mega Mawile, or stuff like Ceruledge after a layer of Spikes, at the cost of its own longevity. To make up for this however, Draining Kiss helps it setup easier against weaker foes such as Hatterene and Rotom-W, and improves Mega Floette's trading capabilities against stronger foes such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott. Substitute blocks status conditions for Mega Floette, such as Clefable's Thunder Wave or Toxapex's Toxic. It additionally lets Mega Floette punish non-King's Shield variants of Aegislash, by forcing it into its frailer Blade forme. However, Synthesis is an alternative that improves Mega Floette's longevity further. A Timid nature is standard for Mega Floette, but a Modest nature can be considered, notably allowing Mega Floette to 2HKO Galarian Slowking with +2 Moonblast after Stealth Rock, as well as OHKO Kingambit unboosted. However, being slower than Annihilape and Hydreigon may be suboptimal.

While Mega Floette is ridiculously powerful, its lack of coverage makes it susceptible to bulky Fairy-resists, such as against Galarian Slowking, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. Additionally, its mediocre physical bulk means it is prone to being outsped and OHKOed by threats such as Mega Scizor Mega Scizor does not outspeed Mega Floette, but I understand what you're saying; reformulate it to mention Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch separately., Mega Metagross, and Sneasler. Therefore, Corviknight Hippowdon Corviknight is hardly a good Mega Metagross switch-in due to Thunder Punch being common on it. makes for a great partner for Mega Floette, being able to switch into these offensive checks, as well as against Galarian Slowking and Toxapex. Corviknight can also switch into various attackers such as Excadrill and Sneasler threatening Mega Floette, has Access to Defog removes hazards, especially Toxic Spikes, improving Mega Floette's longevity, and Corviknight can lure invites in Rotom-W and Primarina, that may try to use it as setup fodder. Hazard support from Hisuian Samurott and Garchomp is heavily appreciated by Mega Floette Why so? Is there specific calcs hazards fix? Mention them here, with both of them beating Galarian Slowking too, while Mega Floette can handle bulky Hatterene, Mega Clefable, and the aforementioned Rotom-W. On more offensive teams, Volcarona serves as a great teammate, being able to punish Mega Scizor with ease, and helping overwhelm their shared checks, especially if using Psychic to break past Toxapex. Ceruledge and Hisuian Arcanine Blaziken can also be beneficial in breaking past Steel-types, with both of them Ceruledge packing priority support for boosted foes such as Mega Delphox and Dragonite. Finally, Araquanid and Glimmora serve as strong hazard leads for the hyper offense structures Mega Floette works well on, with the former Sticky Web preventing faster foes such as Mega Greninja from revenge killing Mega Floette, while Glimmora improves on Mega Floette's damage output. Mention Araquanid separately from the other HO leads. Add Excadrill as an HO lead. Again, "improves Mega Floette's damage output" is too vague.

With its absurd power thanks to Fairy Aura, as well as its high stats, Mega Floette serves as a devastating wallbreaker and cleaner for bulky offense and hyper offense teams alike. Access to Calm Mind amplifies its power further, allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Meganium and Primarina after Stealth Rock with Moonblast, as well as 2HKO physically defensive Corviknight (this is all after a boost right?). Draining Kiss helps it setup easier against weaker foes such as Hatterene and Rotom-Wash, and improves Mega Floette's trading capabilities against stronger foes such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott. (AP) Light of Ruin is a more aggressive alternative to Moonblast Draining Kiss, with its insane damage output allowing Mega Floette to OHKO Mega Mawile and Ceruledge after a layer of Spikes, at the cost of its own longevity. To make up for this however, Draining Kiss helps it setup easier against weaker foes such as Hatterene and Rotom-W, and improves Mega Floette's trading capabilities against stronger foes such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott (RP + with LoR moving to the dkiss slash, i'd reframe its purpose a bit here, moonblast is still the move floette wants to click freely most of the time; LoR is more of a last ditch nuke kinda thing when you're willing to trade floette's health to remove or heavily weaken a check, such as picking off a weakened glowking or putting it low enough for a teammate to clean, the current wording makes it sound more like an alternative primary STAB.) Substitute blocks status conditions, such as Clefable's Thunder Wave or Toxapex's Toxic. It additionally lets Mega Floette punish non-King's Shield variants of Aegislash, by forcing it into its frailer Blade forme. Synthesis is an alternative that improves Mega Floette's longevity further. Maximum Speed lets Mega Floette outspeed maximum Speed base 100s such as Volcarona and Mega Staraptor while Speed tying Garchomp. (AP + we ALL saw that game with modest mega floette)

Both of them can beat Galarian Slowking, while Mega Floette can handle bulky Hatterene, Mega Clefable, and the aforementioned Rotom-W. (i'd reconsider mega clefable as an example of something floette "handles." fairy aura boosts clefs moonblast too, and calm mind + moonlight variants can make this a much more difficult matchup than hatterene or rotom-was, i'd either qualify this or replace it with a cleaner example) On more offensive teams, Volcarona serves as a great teammate, being able to punish Mega Scizor with ease, and helping overwhelm their shared checks, especially if using Psychic to break past Toxapex, (AC) and appreciating Light of Ruin Mega Floette heavily weakening or removing Galarian Slowking. Ceruledge and Blaziken can also be beneficial in breaking past Steel-types, with Ceruledge packing priority support for boosted foes such as Mega Delphox and Dragonite.
