Massive Buff to SpA and Spe Upon Mega Evolving
Mega Delphox gains a massive boost to SpA and Spe when Mega Evolving, making it a powerful glass cannon. If it manages to set up Nasty Plot, it can become very difficult to stop, as its special attacks become extremely strong.
Gains Levitate
Delphox changes its ability to Levitate upon Mega Evolving. This removes its Ground weakness, forcing opponents to rely on other types it is weak to, such as Water, Rock, Dark, and Ghost.

Glass Cannon Mega Delphox Weaknesses
| Counter | Pokemon | Info |
|---|---|
| Use Offensive Priority Moves | 
One way to counter Mega Delphox and its Speed is to use priority moves. Moves like Sucker Punch and Accelerock are great options, as they not only have priority but also target Mega Delphox’s weakness. Recommended Pokémon for these are Meowscarada, Weavile, and Dusk Form Lycanroc. |
| Reverse Speed Priority with Trick Room | 
Mega Delphox excels as an offensive unit due to its Speed. Reversing Speed priority with Trick Room gives it a disadvantage, allowing slow but offensive Pokemon like Hatterene and Farigiraf to take control of the offense. |
Mega Delphox will ultimately struggle against Pokemon with priority moves, as they are a sure way to bypass its Speed advantage. If Trick Room is also active, its Speed buff becomes useless, leaving it vulnerable to being hit first by powerful attacks.
Delphox Checks and Counters
| Counter | Pokemon | Info |
|---|---|
| Use Sucker Punch or Accelerock |
A good way to pressure Mega Delphox is to use priority moves that target its weakness. Weavile is one of the best Pokémon to use, as it can use Fake Out, then Sucker Punch to defeat Mega Delphox. Meowscarada is also a good alternative, since it can adapt Sucker Punch’s Dark typing with Protean. Accelerock is another option, which is available to Dusk Form Lycanroc. |
| Use Trick Room to Reverse Speed Priority |
Another way to counter Mega Delphox is to use Trick Room to change the Speed priority. Hatterene is the best option for this, as it can turn things around and become the offensive threat. Other options are Farigiraf if the opposing Mega Delphox carries Shadow Ball, and Chandelure to absorb its Fire-type attacks with Flash Fire. |
As mentioned in the first build, Mega Delphox can easily be defeated by using priority moves it is weak to, preferably physical ones. Anything that stops it from utilizing its Speed, such as Trick Room, will also help.
Delphox Teambuilding Guide
Singles Team Synergy
| General Support | Main Offense | Secondary Offense |
|---|---|---|
 Orthworm
|
Mega Delphox
|
 Azumarill
|
Lead with Orthworm and either set up Stealth Rock or go straight for Shed Tail. This gives Mega Delphox a free Substitute and an opportunity to use Nasty Plot.
If Mega Delphox eventually falls in battle, Azumarill can finish the match if you are able to pull off the Belly Drum and Aqua Jet combo.
