Mega-Garchomp now keeps Garchomp 102 Speed base stat.
How viable would it be? Would regular Garchomp still be used?

Not enough of an improvement over standard, ability is weather dependent, still not worth the mega slot.
it replaces SD chomp, scarfchomp and tankchomp stay the way they are
still not worth the mega slot

Still not worth it. And Chomp needs to be in Sand to truly outdamage it.
>it replaces SD chomp
No it won't. Maybe in a dedicated Sand team, but SD Chomp can use Z-Crystals and won't waste your mega slot. MegaChomp is no different from Blaziken. Barley any merits to differentiate itself from the base form.

What would be calculations with Sand Force activated in sandstorm? A Hippowdon/Tyranitar + Mega Chomp team wouldn't be so strange to see

Suppose its stats stayed the same, but it got Sand Rush instead. Would that fix it?
>>32323605
Okay, so it does slightly less damage. But it's bulkier. Would that not make it worth it?

That wasn't enough to make Mega Latios worth using over the base form. So no.
