Is Mega Aerodactyl good for competetive use?

I just got an Aerodactyl with the Aerodactylite, so I was wondering if Mega Aerodactyl is good for competetive battling.

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Mega Aerodactyl has several things going for it:

+) blistering Speed+) high Attack is complimented by Tough Claws+) decent coverage+) okay typing

However, there are some things that hold him back:

-) shoddy Defence, Sp. Defence and HP-) any attack that takes advantage of Tough Claws is usually quite weak-) weakness to common attacking types-) Talonflame exists

M-Aero, while flawed, definitely has a spot in the competitive battling scene. However, it suffers from a merely okay movepool and the fact that he takes up a Mega Slot, whilst other Flying types like Zapdos and Talonflame are usually better options. Here is my reccommended set for M-Aero:

Air Strike (Aerodactyl)@ AerodactyliteAbility: UnnerveEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 DefJolly/Adamant Nature- Stone Edge/Rock Slide- Earthquake- Protect- Sky Drop/Ice Fang/Fire Fang/Iron Head

M-Aerodactyl

Pros

Cons

With great stats in Attack and Speed Aerodactyl will fulfill all your Physical Sweeper needs. So, with the right team and strategy Mega Aerodactyl will be good competively.

Hope I’ve Helped!
