Mega Salamence

Mega Salamence is one of the best Dragon Type Mega Evolutions long-term, hitting very hard while spreading around its Mega Boost for a surprisingly long time given its above-average TDO. However, being "one of the best" doesn't mean a lot when the "best" soars far, far above the competition. Still, Mega Salamence can make a solid budget Mega Evolution.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Mega Salamence is best using Dragon Tail and Outrage*. Draco Meteor is nice too, but it's generally not worth the extra effort.
• Fire Fang and Fire Blast can work together, but are very sub-optimal compared to actual Fire Type Mega Evolutions.
  • However, Fire Fang can also pair with Fly to deal high damage to Grass Types.
• Outside of that matchup, Fire Fang, Fire Blast, and Hydro Pump have it rough as they cannot deal Super Effective damage alongside Dragontail under any circumstance.
• Bite can be okay if you're desperate for something to pair with Fire Blast or Hydro Pump.
