Description
Mega Gallade is back and better than ever, thanks to the introduction of the new Sharpness ability that gives a more consistent 1.5x power boost to cutting moves compared to the old Blademaster. Not only does Mega Gallade pack a lot of power and solid special bulk and speed, but it also has a frankly insane movepool coverage that covers many types, including Grass, Water, Dark, Rock, Steel, Ice (as Triple Axel, no less), Ghost, among others. What’s even better is that many of these moves come with an increased crit chance, meaning that even if you couldn’t kill something in one hit normally, a cheeky crit might get the job done for you and tip you over the edge into a OHKO anyway. Mega Gallade also has Thunder Wave and Encore for supporting options. Encore is revered amongst HC players for being able to troll setup mons, and Thunder Wave ensures that even if Mega Gallade can’t quite secure the kill on something, paralyzing it and leaving it in red health is pretty much as good as killing it anyway. Mega Gallade is capable of taking down many dangerous targets in the HC E4 by itself, but it stands out as one of the best Megas to kill Eternamax Eternatus with. Not only does it have a solid chance of beating Eternamax Eternatus outright, but if it comes in on a damaged one, it’s possible that EE might waste its turns on Recover and let Mega Gallade kill it for free. Overall, Mega Gallade is a highly powerful and versatile Mega that is made even better thanks to the buff to Sharpness.
