Mega Dragalge

Soooo, now it's Mega Dragalge! 

Mega Dragalge's poison is strong enough to melt through thick metal with no problem. It's body is now covered in a special absorbent algea, granting Mega Dragalge impressive boosts to it's Defense and Sp. Defense, though it does give it a much more sickly look. A second pair of fins on it's back give it much better maneuverability, raising it's Speed slightly. Mega Dragalge's is as fearless and as protective as it was before, and will not back down from any challenge. It's ability is Adapdability, which means that moves used by this pokemon which are the same as it's type will do double the damage instead of the regular 1.5. Take advantage of this ability with powerful moves like Draco Meteor and Sludge Wave to do some real damage!

Ahh Dragalge. Once the Fairy-type was announced, I was really hoping that Nintendo will finally grace us with 3 new things to use in OU: A Poison/Dragon type, a Steel/Dragon type and a Fire/Dragon type to counter these new Fairy overlords. We got Mega Charizard X, which was incredible, and we got Dragalge. Since I got X for Mega Charizard, I had to make up with not having a Dragalge most of my game. But then I rememberd that there's the GTS, so I immediately looked for a Skrelp, and bred myself a Sassy Dragalge, and I couldn't have been happier. Dragalge soon became one of most trusted pokemon, with it's awesome movepool, great typing and powerful options, ranging from Draco Meteor and Sludge Bomb to Hydro Pump and Focus Blast, Dragalge was a great pokemon in my X playthrough, and it just got better. After the release of ORAS, everyone could get an Adaptability Dragalge, and that's when the fun really started. Having essentially a 260 base stat move with Choice Specs means that almost nothing wants to get in on you, and even Fairies need to watch out from a Sludge wave to the face.
But still, Dragalge has several flaws. One is it's Speed. Base 44 is slow. Like, really slow. Azumaril naturally outspeeds you slow. Second, is its bulk. Base 90/123 defenses is great, but is really not as great when coupled with base 65 HP. Third, it's initial power. base 97, much like with Noivern, is good on a defensive pokemon, but not so much on an offensive one. so what to do to fix all of that? Give it a Mega of course! And I chose to keep Adaptability as an ability, cause you don't fix what ain't broken. Also, Signature move that is super effective on Steel types, because why not?

:EDIT: changed the coloring a little to signify a change through Mega Evolution, with the body becoming blue and the brown parts becoming green.

Well, hope you like it!
