M-Chomp now gets sand stream and access to accelerock, how

Still UU. Give it Shore Up.

Man I wish he just kept rough skin. Mega evo just makes him weaker.

Same with scizor. They get these shitty abilities and but don't hit harder than their base form holding a life orb

I'm pretty sure it would be by usage, but megas can't be in lower tiers than their base forms, for obvious reasons.

What are you talking about mega scizor is straight up superior to regular scizor.

>>31349968
Life orb scizor still hits harder.

>>31350038
It's still better overall that regular Scizor, unlike Garchomp.

but regular scizor gets >charmander used ember'd

> Reduce Garchomp's Speed

Mega Garchomp's design is straight fucked. They botched it intentionally.

>>31350087
Yeah, look at that useless 170 Attack. Garbage.

>>31350133
doesn't count for shit when most of OU outspeeds him

>>31350159
I don't give a donkey's shit about smogon cucks, it was a perfectly reasonable pokemon in VGC 2014.

>>31350038
Mega Scizor gets a phenomenal bulk boost, doesnt lose its ability to check things due to much less bulk and LO, runs Roost and is much more viable with Roost because of bulk, and because of the bulk and Roost is able to set up multiple SD's.

So was pachurisu.

Mega Chomp runs through fat teams.

Mixed Draco sets tear into Lando-T and Sand Force Boosted EQ's w/Naughty nature 2HKO Sableye-Mega. Too bad the current meta is too offensive for M-Chomp. It was better last gen. If things ever fatten up again i'd use it more.

The funny thing about VGC, is that normal Garchomp wasn't notably more successful than Mega Garchomp in direct comparison.

pre-gen6 VGC: Mega Chomp didn't exist
VGC 2014: Mega Garchomp + Tyranitar was super good and regular Garchomp was the hard hitter of choice in regular "good stuff" teams.
VGC 2015: Neither of them was good, because Lando-T was around.
VGC 2016: see above and add Kyogre/Xerneas to that list
VGC 2017: Garchomp is ridiculously popular, but Mega Garchomp isn't legal, so once again moot point. (It would probably be amazing with Gigalith.)

What it boils down to; Mega Chomp is a build around Heavy Hitter and it performed reasonably well; Sandforce Rock Slides under Tailwind really hurt and it just obliterated things with Earthquake.

Meanwhile, normal Garchomp is easier to use, because it just needs to be there and isn't dependent on the meta as hard (the Politoad+Lucicolo hype hurt sand).

Mega Garchomp doesn't work in singles; It requires a sand-setter, speed control and a way to deter intimidate, which is a lot easier with a slot next to it (think about why Trick Room is bad in singles but utterly busted in VGC).
