Mega Beedrill is a budget bug beast, boasting a bountiful attack stat with a cheaper-than-normal 100 initial and 20 subsequent mega energy cost. It’s a Bug and Poison type, so many types are strong against it. Use Psychic, Fire, Rock, and types to swat this bee. Be mindful that although Psychic is super effective, Bug can hit it right back for weakness. Bee careful!
Mega Beedrill doesn’t have high bulk, so it can be beaten with 2-3 trainers, no problem. Just watch out for that massive attack stat, it rivals Mewtwo’s! Figure out it’s movepool from recommendations, you don’t want to bring a Mewtwo in against X-Scissor.
