▸ How it works

Mega Aerodactyl is the fastest Tailwind setter in the format, and Basculegion-M is the most rewarding piece to put under Tailwind — Last Respects with +0 speed is too slow, but +Tailwind makes it lethal.

▸ Strengths
  • +Mega Aerodactyl outspeeds the entire format at 213 base speed — Tailwind goes up before opposing tailwind.
  • +Basculegion-M under Tailwind hits 168 speed — outpaces Iron Bundle and ties Pelipper's Hydration build.
  • +Both Pokémon hit hard immediately, so opposing redirection (Sinistcha Rage Powder) gets shredded.
▸ Weaknesses
  • −Both share an Electric weakness — Rotom-Wash Thunderbolt + a partner attack OHKOs either one.
  • −Mega Aerodactyl is 1HKO'd by most Special attackers it doesn't outspeed (e.g., a fast Charizard Y under sun).
  • −If Tailwind is taunted or stolen (Whimsicott Encore), the team has no Plan B for speed.
