I also would have liked Ghost/Fairy Misdreavus and Mismagius, Grass/Fairy Bellossom, (Normal/Ice/Water/Fire)/Fairy Castform, Psychic/Fairy Chingling and Chimecho, Grass/Fairy Cherubi and Cherrim, Water/Fairy Phione and Manaphy, Psychic/Fairy Gothitelle line, Ice/Fairy Vanilluxe line, and Poison/Fairy Gulpin and Swalot. The last one doesn't make any sense but I don't care.

Speed is more important for the both of 'em. I said it before and I'll say it again: two jetplanes Mega Evolving into more jetplane-like jetplanes and not increasing their Speed is complete and utter bullshit.
Probably the only reason t' use Lati@site over other items... and even then, it may not worth the Mega slot if somethin' else on the team evolves.
:thumbsup:
Makes as much sense as a Water/Fire 'mon.
Gardevoir 'n Mr. Mime also got Fairy-typing, so I don't think it'd be a good idea to do moar reclassing for the same dual-typing.
(unique typing argument)
no
Let's say you want to use a Calm Mind Mega Latias
How would you build it?

As I touched upon earlier, assumin' Base 120 Def is enough to stall out common Physical attackers in OU, Bold @ 252 HP/Def.

Still waitin on that Dragon/Fairy MegaAltaria....
Ive never really liked Latias or Latios to be honest.... If had to choose though, id probably go with MegaLatias>MegaLatios cuz if u wanted to use both Soul Dew on Latios still outpowers MegaLatios amiright? Idk if i am or not, legitimately asking (looking at you, Dirge)
@ Nick: Like i mentioned above though, Altaria, if any of them, should become Dragon/Fairy. I was thinking Dragonite should at first but imo i think Altaria would fit the bill better.

They'd have to give it Levitate, since it's a bird. They've never outright replaced abilities before, save a few hidden abilities in Generation VI. Could work for a mega, tho.

Depends on Gen 6 OU's speed tiers. If MLatias only got 10 more base Speed, that would outspeed but a few select threats. Special MLucario (Bullet Punch on Physical variants is a big ol' nope.avi), MAbsol, Thundurus 'n Tornadus-R, opposing Lati@s... that's 'bout it. Maybe a few slow Scarfed Pokes like 252 HP/Sp.A Rotom (do they commonly not run Speed? dunnolol). But if MLatias had base 124+ Speed (beats out Noivern and Greninja), I would definitely consider MLatias over MLatios just for the Speed.
Mind you, it'd also depends on the role I might consider MLatias for. I've always used Specs/Orb Latios as a hole puncher, spamming Draco Meteor. MLatias' power comes literally nowhere close to that, and Fairy-types' immunity would make Draco Meteor spam even less effective than it would've been in Gen 5. Superfast MLatias wouldn't always replace Specs Latios on my teams that would use Specs Latios.
Considerin' how utterly broken that typing is, it'd definitely have t' go to somethin' weak like Altaria.
That aside, I think Altaria should be Flying/Fairy rather than Flying/Dragon lol. Even learns Moonblast ffs.
Very much so, yes. Even Timid Latios @ Specs is notably stronger than Modest MLatios. Don't forget 'bout the huge Sp.D boost either. Lati@s @ Soul Dew is INFINITELY better than any MLati@s set. Which should come as no surprise, given that Soul Dew is the sole reason (heh) behind Lati@s' presence in Ubers. Troll Freak knows this too, so they wouldn't try t' make their Mega evolutions on par with that. They ain't cover legendaries, after all.
I actually run a Scarfed 252 HP/Sp.A Rotom-H.
If Mega Latias isn't banned, I think it would be best to use as a Calm Mind set. Latiasite gives Latias a potential bulky set while other items like Specs, Scarfs, and Orbs give it other options giving it unpredictability.

it wont be lmao
The latter three items would typically be for Latios' roles what with its higher Sp.A, whereas Latias are all for Lefties/Latiasitemaybepossiblyidunnolawl.

Idk. Ive never really given much credit to Latios/Latias for a simple reason that in my opinion other Dragons do it better. I mean, being Dragon/Psychic is neat, but it gives you weakness to 2 priority moves, the latter of which hits extremely hard in the form of Sucker Punch, where the other is Ice Shard. I dunno.... Ive never truly seen a great use for them when i feel the role can be filled by a better Dragon without said priority weakness. Dragons already have enough against them this Gen with Fairies being a thing.
Still, this is only my opinion. Maybe theres something here i just dont see.

I don't know the total base stats nor do i care about them. I know about some of the old pokemon stats ( from the pokedex i got ) and so my team is almost always full of old pokemonHAK how do you know the BST (base stat totals) of ur pokes if u dont get any info from anywhere except in-game?
.I seem to find a base of 205 a lot at LV 50 on old pok, so i assume its base would be somewhere in the upper 120's. That's good enough for me ( no clue how HP works though )Competitive Pokemon is easy enough. < I never said this but i find it to be true.
Did they real mega evolve legendarys or is it just a theroy?
