↓Gen VI — X & Y / ORASB

Dropped in Gen VI (X & Y). The form-change gimmick was predictable, and 90 Speed was too slow for either form. Fairy-types walled the Pirouette form's Fighting STAB.

Returned in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet) and dropped further. No Z-Moves meant no reliable form change trigger. 128 Sp. Atk in Aria form was decent but unremarkable.

Meloetta Weakness

Meloetta is weak to Bug and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Meloetta's special bulk (base 128 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
