I've seen that Mega Greninja is very good because it gets double STAB when it Mega Evolves

royalstream-47

Or rather, he activates his ability twice

A really fun set with a sneasler is focus sash + sword dance upper hand close combat

For Singles you want answers to specific foes. Mega Staraptor, Mega Metagross, Mega Glimmora, Garchomp, etc.

It isn't quite as simple as people claim, but it does have less room for doubles shenanigans.

warmbeacon-46 OP

Alr thx guys
