>>22210191Mega Evolution have done away with the Dragon-type's mastery over types and stats. And Rock has always been deader than the dinosaurs.
Meanwhile, the potency of Flying offense has skyrocketed. We've all heard of the "Birdspam" tactic, and we will continue to hear about it for the foreseeable future. Mega Pinsir's Aerilate boosted STABs tear holes in just about everything, Hawlucha will end any team with an aerial suplex if given the chance, and even old threats like Staraptor and Honchkrow are just as good (if not better) than ever. Even Thundurus-I has been known to toss out a Hidden Power Flying these days. Higher up on the power scale, Mega Salamence was widely agreed to surpass Mega Kangaskhan in being a broken piece of shit and now nests in Ubers. And is ranked above P-Kyogre. This in addition to Mega Rayquaza showing what it means to go even further beyond.
It will not be missed.
Even outside of Birdspam, having 3 Flying-types on a team isn't that unusual. Shit's OP.
