Do you remember when Mega Slowbro had a viability ranking of A- in National Dex? Seems hard to believe that this mon is now completely unranked in the tier. Obviously a lot of this has to do with metagame shifts and Dracovish being banned, but Mega Slowbro is such a unique pick for fat teams that I really wanted to do something with. It's pretty niche unlike its non-evolved form but definitely has its uses. I've been able to adapt an old team from SM OU into the NatDex format and make use of Mega Slowbro without feeling like I'm sacrificing viability by not using a more standard fat pick for my mega slot. I think this is maybe the best team I've built in NatDex and certainly the most consistent when played correctly.
