You need an SD to ensure that QA will OHKO mega blaziken.

You'd want Close Combat over Superpower either way.

Nah. We're looking at Thrash and Return. In December, Double Edge, although that might be problematic because it's a tutor move from Fire Red or something.

Take EQ and Thrash/Return instead of CC and X-Scissor. X-Scissor really isn't strong enough to be worth it. And you need EQ to take out Aegislash.

Also: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pinsir.3489976/page-3

Aerilate isn't confirmed for the 30% boost yet, but both Refrigerate and Pixelate are.

Hey, your call man. But with Aerilate, Thrash has a BP of 156. It's hitting as hard as a super effective X-Scissor.

Flying/Ground is superb coverage by itself. Flying/Ground/Fighting is getting close to perfect.

I'm not really sure what X-Scissor would really be helping with.

I've used Mega Alakazam before. The stats are awesome, but it dies to pretty much any physical attack. Didn't really like it as much as I did Mega Pinsir's.

Having your ability go from Magic Guard to Trace sort of sucks as well.

He's misinformed. Mega Pinsir has an ability called Aerilate which turns all Normal-type moves into the Flying-type. Since it also gains the Flying type in its Mega Evolution, it gets STAB from Normal moves.

False. It was corrected earlier but Mega Pinsir's ability is Aerilate, which not only turns its normal-type moves into flying-type moves, it powers those moves up further (the post-STAB boost is believed to be by 30%).

Aerialate, assuming it follows the pattern that Pixilate and Refrigerate do, actually buffs the moves it changes by 30% in addition to STAB
