>>29920249Yeah, because Aero is such a threat when it's not a mega.
I attached the word to it because it's the only thing that makes the mon viable in OU/UU, which is what we're talking about.
IT matters when you're weak to a common offensive typing (ICE, priority ice shard) and a common coverage / meta move (electric, volt switch), ran by both defensive / offensive mons.
It can run a life orb and a mega stone, but 1 takes up a slot of a much better mon and doesn't need a team based around it. Aero does.
It can. For 1, it doesn't need a lot of coverage like Aero does. It gets half-decent-to-average fighting type move, and Stone Edge. Aero NEEDS Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, and EarthQuake + Coverage to be effective in the tiers it runs.
Aero can't setup (lol Hone Claws). Aero doesn't have Fighting coverage (lol Rock Smash). Aero is faster but weaker and that makes it miss out on necessary kills without prior damage + Rocks and planning. Dogge can be happily slapped on a Sand Team and be decent, or with a Band and clean up with priority Rock.
They're two different mons that do different things. Aero doesn't bode well in higher tiers without properly built support. This thing has the niches that can make it more usable in higher tiers and doesn't need the support of 4 mons on a team to make it work.
You should actually play Pokemon before you start talking about it.
