Problem with Mega Dragonite

DavidofHyrule

So, Mega Dragonite, cool right? I know I was excited when I first saw him in trailers…until I got him in game! Why, WHY??? Would you make a heavy physical attack a heavier Sp. Attacker? And LOWER there attack stat? I wouldn’t be quite as upset if they had left his Attack stat alone (it lowers from 134 to 124), but they had to lower it! If you upped Dragonites Physical Attack by the 45 that they raised his Sp. Attack (going from base of 100 to 145) then he would have a 179 base Attack (134 plus 45)! That would be crazy! Or if not do that, raise a different stat(s) and just make his physical a little stronger. But I just don’t see the point in doing it, it makes Dragonite ether have to always mega evolve to work with Sp. attack moves, or just not mega at all and use another item.

But what is your opinion? I’d be curious to know.

I've already responded, so I'll be short

I use Dragonite as a ranged fighter, but it is still unfair to do that to it!

For me dragonite was kinda a defensive tank on my team and I worked around it. Actually, I wasnt even aware of the new stats. I just looked at my dragonite Hermes stats and worked with it
