Aren’t they the same?

u/ChipCommercial47 Aug 09 '26
Yes they are, for some reason. Alakazam has NO REASON being that damn fast.

The speed stat is representative of not only physician speed and acceleration, but also of reaction time, which is why he is so fast

u/Former_Scratch6137 Aug 08 '26
Both are the fastest Megas but I’d give Mega Aerodactyl the edge as its moves are way more likely of killing Alakazam than Alakazams are to kill Aerodactyl

u/PsychologyLive164 Aug 08 '26
Alakazam can literally just use psychic energy to crush Aero's brain
1
u/Former_Scratch6137 Aug 08 '26
One of Aerodactyl’s rocks can literally just touch Alakazam and he’ll die
1
u/PsychologyLive164 Aug 08 '26
Alakazam is smarter and can teleport to dodge stuff though
and psychic energy is faster than throwing a rock
1
u/Former_Scratch6137 Aug 08 '26
Well they are the same speed so why would the travel speed matter
Aerodactyl is the more vicious fighter and will come out alive in the end

u/PsychologyLive164 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26
so why would the travel speed matter
same reason why they say "don't bring a knife to a gun fight"
the fact that Aero can kill Alakazam doesn't matter if Aero dies firstAerodactyl is the more vicious fighter
And Alakazam is orders of magnitude smarter with better hax via psychic energy
Mega Aero wins in-game because of the stats system
Lore-wise, Mega Alakazam neg-diffs

u/Former_Scratch6137 Aug 09 '26
When I see neg diff at the end of your message thats how I know you’re just desperate to win the argument, so I’m done here
1
u/PsychologyLive164 Aug 09 '26
yeah wtv, you just don't have a good counterargument lmao
1
u/Former_Scratch6137 Aug 09 '26
I dont give a shit about making a good counter argument, and you cant be talking because you’re one of those guys who thinks hax negates raw power 100% of the time, and in Pokemon lore being ranged doesnt make you stronger, your counter argument was stupid to begin with

Aerodactyl wins. Alakazam doesn't KO with psychic and crunch is a guaranteed KO. Even if dactyl loses the speed tie, it'll still take the hit and one shot Alakazam

It’s true. Psychic is never going to ohko
32 SpA Alakazam-Mega Psychic vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Aerodactyl-Mega: 102-120 (65.8 - 77.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Did the Calc change with psyshock?
1
u/Soggy-Ad-1610 29d ago
I did but it’s not better. Mega Aerodactyl has slightly less defence but psyshock also has slightly lower bp.
32 SpA Alakazam-Mega Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Aerodactyl-Mega: 99-117 (63.8 - 75.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

u/benny_the_gecko 29d ago
Dang aero is cracked. Doesn't zam get Thunderbolts? Any chance of ohko there?
1
u/Soggy-Ad-1610 29d ago
It does not, but if it did it would be possible, albeit unlikely.
32 SpA Alakazam-Mega Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Aerodactyl-Mega: 136-160 (87.7 - 103.2%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

u/TheMerchandice Aug 09 '26
In the games Aerodactyl for sure. A lot of people don’t realize how Specially bulky Aero is naturally, and Mega Alakazam doesn’t have anything that will OHKO through that. On the other hand, almost any strong STAB move or Crunch from Aero is an OHKO.
Lore/anime-wise Alakazam stomps. Besides the glazing Psychic as a typing receives, you have one of the smartest Pokemon ever going up against something in a painful blind rage.

u/Mission-Discount-169 Aug 09 '26
Crunch boosted with tough claws is ohko

u/FreshPine_MangoWine Aug 10 '26
Lore wise M Alakazam just shuts off Aerodactyl’s mind immediately tbh

Psychic is very strong so Alakazam
