>best STAB that takes advantage of its ability is fucking sky drop
lmaoing at your life. there's so many of these borderline useless megas. if indeed Gamefreak wanted to make regular pokemon have the power of legendaries, why did they make so many weak, useless megas? is this tacit admission that they know nothing about competitive pokemon?

Flying is shit for physical non brave flying Pokemon. If you can't BB you're boned from the start. Better luck as a HM slave
>>24632447
It has Wing Attack and Aerial Ace.
Mega Aero is fine in the Flying STAB department. What it needs a Rock STAB that's affected by Tough Claws.

>post moves with 60bp
I know it doesnt make sence, but mega aerodactyle would be so much better with even drill peck. Flying stab is such a great offensive presence.
Also scared to post this because of pic related
Let's not forget shit like Audino, Houndoom, Swampert, and Steelix.
The first is shit and the latter three are all niche.
>>24632866
Audino - Shit
Houndoom - Niche, but can still be a threat without sin
Swampert - Niche, but a good niche, it's a great sweeper on rain teams
Steelix - Basically a straight upgrade over vanilla Steelix
>only rock moves that make contact are rollout and head smash
>>24632882
>Steelix - Basically a straight upgrade over vanilla Steelix
>tank
>no leftovers
>no recovery
It's shit
>>24632866
>houndoom
Still a credible threat by itself, doesn't need no sun. We're talking about a Pokemon with a base 140 SpA and STAB Dark Pulse and Fire Blast with Nasty Plot. [spoilers]Also, bulkier than Darkrai, who knew[/spoiler]
>swampert
kills shit after a Rain Dance, one of the best sweepers on rain teams. Doesn't deserve to be categorized with stuff like Audino.
>steelix
Aggron lite, I'll give you that, but unless you need shit like Mega Abomasnow or Banette on your lower tier team, it's not objectively a bad Pokemon.
>audino
Yeah, this shit can go die in a black hole of obscurity. Gamefreak couldn't give it Fur Coat or Simple or even Serene Grace.
>aerodactyl
Objectively not a bad Pokemon, got an OU (got a couple of revamps) and UU analysis for a reason.
>>24632983
And derp, I cannot into spoiler tags. Gomenesai, senpais.
>>24632866
Mega Houndoom is kind of good its just not worth your Mega slot most of the time and UU is a horrible environment for it. I feel like people give it more shit than it deserves.
>>24632983
there was a thread that proved mega steelix could have been a lot better with magnet pull since it traps and kills threats in OU such as bisharp magnezone or metagross, and can 2hko skarmory with fire fang
>>24633052
and excadrill
>>24632941
It's still a straight upgrade over vanilla Steelix.
Mega Steelix got banned from NU, while regular Steelix isn't even good in NU.
>>24633052
>252+ Atk Mega Steelix Fire Fang vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 88-104 (26.3 - 31.1%) -- 10.1% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
eh?
>>24633071
252+ Atk Mega Steelix Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 200-236 (59.8 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
hehe bwoi
>>24633113
>ground STAB
>hitting flying
U wot?
>>24633052
>>24633064
>>24633113
>search steelix's move
>tfw no knock off
Damn, at least it could have knocked off Skarmory's Shed Shell or some shit like that.
Aerodactyl should get Brave Bird and also Flare Blitz as a tutor move.
>>24632866
Could be worse. They could be Banette.
>>24632892
if it got head smash the mega would be obsolete
>Healer now heals all Pokemon by 1/3 their HP when they switch out as long as the Healer Pokemon is capable of battle, effectively giving everything except the Healer the Regenerator ability (does not boost Regenerator to 2/3 regen)
Am I good now /vp/?
>>24632825
It gets smack down witch is affected by tough claws
>>24633167
rocky helmet is skarm's item of choice nowadays for whatever reason
leftovers is next most likely
>>24634859
but besides Mismagius and Delphox what other witches are you gonna find to smack down?
>>24633148
Skarmory always runs Roost.
>>24632447
>Hone Claws
>Stone Edge
>Fly
>Fire Fang
I thought it would be really gimmicky, but it wrecks shit hard.
>>24634922
Murkrow.
