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. The debate between Outrage* and Draco Meteor boils down to the latter having higher average performance, while the latter has higher average damage that can drop below Outrage if Mega Salamence drops with a lot of energy.
• Bite and Brutal Swing can work on Mega Salamence, though there are definitely better options.
• 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 Dragon Tail under any circumstance.
• Crunch is Brutal Swing, but worse.
