By a fair margin too. Garchomp and Tyranitar are god level with 700 BST!

Sadly Mega Chomp is anything but godlike. Reducing it's Base Speed to 92 and increasing it's SpA to 120 is nothing short of ridiculous. 


Had no idea they reduced its speed. They have to keep him balanced somehow I guess.

Given the increased vulnerability of dragons starting from this gen, they could at least have given those stats to SpD while keeping the Speed reduction. Doesn't make sense to have 120 SpA when almost nothing on it's movepool takes advantage of that.

His Fireblasts got a lot stronger, but yeah I agree with you the stat distribution doesn't help him. It actually hurts him since 92 is relatively low and you can't give megas a choice scarf.

Fire Blast got nerfed tho 120 bp ->110 bp

Smogon is still arguing about its usefulness, most agree the speed nerf is ewwww

What's the general consensus of mega Aerodactyl? Is it worth?

Some megas are barely being talked about.  When mentioned I've heard people saying he is a better suicide lead than he was in Gen IV, someone thought his original was better, and someone saw im as a counter to Mega Gengar.

Well at least that speed nerf and no Sand Veil will put it back in the OU where it should have never left. Still, the Speed nerf is mega ewww.

Once you start the game and save for the first time, reset it so that it goes into the start menu. In there select the Mystery Gift option and then Recieve via Wi-Fi option. That'll give you the event Torchic.

Whch one of my pokes do you want to get? Also, what's your 3DS Friend Code, so I can add you later today?
