Does frustration do more damage than double edge on mega salamence?

No, Frustration does the same amount of damage as Return (base 102 at most), except its damage maximizes based on minimum happiness, while Return's damage maximizes if happiness if maximized. The appeal of frustration is that it can troll Ditto who might try to revenge kill Mega Salamence, since most Ditto run max happiness by default.

+1 196+ Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Facade (180 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Klefki: 356-419 (112.3 - 132.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Why did you set the power to 180? It already accounts for Aerialate's 33% boost and addition of STAB. This calc is inaccurate, here's an accurate version.

+1 196+ Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Facade (140 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Klefki: 276-326 (87 - 102.8%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

Still pretty impressive but it needs some prior damage (like a layer of Spikes) to guarantee the OHKO.
