Max Atk/Spe; post-Mega Aerilate turns Normal moves to Flying — Mega Pinsir physical ace. Swords Dance drastically raises Attack, pressuring opponents heavily including priority.
With support, Double Hit is worth considering
Thrash has high power but locks 2-3 turns. Double Hit has lower power but no lock and pierces Sash. Power can be supplemented by Swords Dance — consider if you have setup support.
On favorable matchups, set up Swords Dance; powered STAB and complementary Ground break team as main role. Vs. faster or chipped opponents, ability-boosted strong priority pins from above — also as stopper.
Weak to faster Pokémon
Mega Pinsir has high power and breakthrough but Speed base 105 isn't that high.Typing isn't great either, so Scarf users hitting weakness from above can KO it.
