Better than a Mega Evolution being given to yet another Pokémon that didn't need one for the sake of marketing, just for the regular Pokémon to be better than the Mega Evolved form (Garchomp).

Mega Altaria dominated OU back when it came out. Then everyone adapted and began running Altaria counters and it fell off.

Literally was begging for a Dragon/Fairy Altaria mega when ORAS was coming out, and I could not give less of a shit about this thing because they put a fucking stupid hat on it and made it look goofy and not angelic

My disappointment is much high and of great bigness

Wasn't mega altaria historically kinda decent? I wouldn't really call nugen UU true shimon status and people would use it to cheese too.

>Wasn't mega altaria historically kinda decent?
In gen 6 OU before everyone started running Metagross or Scizor, yeah. It dropped to UU in gen 7 due to several factors like the -ate abilities nerv, the addition of great new fairy types and Kartana as well as z-moves. And other megas are just way better.

It was at the top of UU in gen 7, which was the undeniably the most power-crept gen meta.

It had a big resurgence and is considered one of the best megas in the gen 6 meta right now. Gets used on plenty of HO teams.

Doesn't VGC ban certain things during most seasons?
>>48398478
Oh that's nice. I mostly play gen 7 OU, but gen 6 getting some deviations from "Metagross, Keldeo, Latios, defensive core" or just straight up stall is nice to hear.

HO has been big for a longer while now in gen 6 OU. There was a period a while ago where people even considered a Sticky Web ban because webs teams were being spammed so much. Right now webs are definitely less common but screens HO has been pretty popular especially with Serprior.

We all know that Meganium is a top threat in ZU because it's Game Freak's favorite Pokémon.

Spoiler alert: not even viable in ZU because Game Freak.

Funnily enough gen 7 OU seems to be more defensive nowadays, despite all of the great offensive options.
Yeah I know about the Volcarona-stall team from way back, but that was a short reign, and only on the ladder.

People on /vp/ also seem to forget about the great resistances. Water, Fire, Fighting, Dark, Bug, Grass, Dragon. Plus immunity against Ground before mega evolving? That's pretty fucking solid.
