>Mega Garchomp previously had +20 speed>they took the speed away in the final gameWhy the fuck did they do that? Why do Gamefreak hate Garchomp? Are Gamefreak full of vindictive, petty and assmad Flygonfags or something? It's the only reasonable explanation for why someone would ever want to nerf Mega Garchomp
mega garchomp was always destined to fail with that godawful design
how do you know this
>>56642127An obvious balance decision, balance that was given up on with ORAS when they realized megas werent going to stay and just said fuck it with Salamence.
>Sand Force sweeperRobbed...>>56642227Beta stats and abilities are coming out
>>56642257thisthe XY megas are reasonably well balanced and then they went full retard with ORAS.
>>56642127The added spikes and scythes are heavy and create too much wind resistance
>>56642281>the XY megas are reasonably well balan-AAACK!!
>>56642343>won less worlds than salamenceyeup, balanced
Used to run a Focus sash Speed Boost, Protect, Baton Pass, Sword Dance Sociolpede and an Impish Mega Garchomp in gen 6 Uber.Mf could sweep villages.No mon stood a chance against a 2x attack 2x Speed Garchomp.
>>56642268>Beta stats and abilities are coming outWhat about movepools?
>>56642343seethe harder
>>56642389I ran mixed Mega 'Chomp. 120 SpA is solid, and 170 Atk is so ludicurously high that it doesn't need investment to hit like a truck. You get hit by a surprise Draco Meteor, think "okay, this is a funny gimmick", and then get hit by a surprise Earthquake.
>>56642195You wish you had that jawline chud
>>56643692Mega chomp was a wall breaker in it's purest form, people had no idea how to use it nor the fact that it's one of those megas that you don't build your team around but use as a problem solver when you build your team around something elseEarthquake, draco meteor and fireblast was all you needed to bend any defensive pokemon in half, sandforce and swords dance are nice but not even needed at that point
>>56643830The problem is that megas were things you did want to build your team around, especially the strong ones, so there wasn't much room for Mega Chomp.It actually did get a little better in gen 7, relatively speaking, because megas weren't as central so there was room for more experimental megas.
>>56642127Mega Chomp would be fucking busted with 20 more speed.
