Mega Garchomp turns the base form into a heavier mixed or physical attacker with base 170 Attack, base 120 Special Attack, and improved defenses. Its base 92 Speed is lower than regular Garchomp's, so the Mega form changes both damage benchmarks and speed-control needs.
Roster planning
Before paying for Mega Garchomp, confirm that the league allows the form and whether it consumes a limited Mega slot. Sand Force rewards sand support, but the roster still needs a plan for Ice- and Fairy-type pressure and opponents above its new Speed tier.
Form and format check
This page covers classic Dragon/Ground Mega Garchomp. It exchanges base Garchomp's higher Speed and Rough Skin option for larger attacking stats, more bulk, and Sand Force. Mega Garchomp Z is a separate canonical profile with different typing and base stats.
Practical comparisons
GarchompThe base form is faster, can use Rough Skin, and does not require a Mega slot.
Mega Garchomp ZA distinct Mega Garchomp form that must be evaluated from its own typing and stat profile.
Mega SalamenceAnother Mega Dragon with Flying typing, Aerilate, and a different speed and defensive profile.
Mega SwampertA Ground-type Mega comparison whose Water typing and rain interaction create a different team structure.
