I mostly agree with PKMN1, though Alakazam is a less solid case since Magic Guard would negate LO recoil anyway. Then again, Modest Mega Alakazam is reportedly stronger and a little faster than Timid Regular Zam, so there's that.
Mewtwo Y gains nothing important and it's literally just mewtwo without LO recoil. Not a big deal
Blaze is still fucked by gira (they'll probably see less usage but still)
145 speed is literally the same thing as 130 in terms of things it outspeeds. The only somewhat relevant thing is it can run modest and still outsped 252+ Speed arceus but eh.... That's seriously not worth wasting your one mega evo on. Mewtwo might technically be "impossible" to counter but it is easily checked by anything that can take a hit and worst of all, ohko'd by gene if it gets an atk boost. The LO recoil is a non factor considering how mewtwo isn't taking hits from the mons that come to revenge it in the first place... That and mewtwo isn't a good answer to most arceus forms in the first place.So you're saying a faster Mewtwo who does LO damage but does not get recoil is not a big deal......really? I never played ubers much if at all, but from what i have read, watched, and heard Mewtwo was already hard to counter if not impossible to counter only possible to check it and that was with it probably taking LO recoil.
And yet it is STILL a better choice it seems than Normal Blaziken so while Gira still stops it, it does not stop the fact it is faster, bulkier, and does about LO damage without recoil.
Peopel seem to be forgetting how important LO recoil and bulk is. LO can get many pokes KOed if they are not careful in what the are fighting and more natural bulk is ALWAYS better.

Faster isn't much in ubers since bar the rare scarf terra (shitty check to ekiller imo), everything else standard blaze outspeeds. It still has poor bulk by uber standards. Gira-a doesn't give a crap about blaze since it can easily tank anything and phase it out. Gira-o will heavily dent it with dtail while still taking hits reasonably well.
Better? Sure. In terms of actual important improvements over standard mewtwo? NoneYet they still both a better choice than their LO counterparts, does not matter how you want to say it, it is. Even if it is as simple as no Recoil that can be EXTREMELY helpful for pokemon. Also Mega-Mewtwo Y has decent Sp.Def so that can help it as well.
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/xy-simple-questions-simple-answers-read-the-op-first.3489309/Which is a better megaevolution - Mega mewtwo X or mega mewtwo Y? Also is mega aerodactyl any good?
Mewtwo X is hot. Mega Luca is hot. Mega gengar is hot.Wasting your one Mega slot? People need to stop thinking this concept is actually a thing that will matter. It's not even sensible in OU, and this is Ubers, where every other Mega is so much less practical. Unless you're running Gengar, what are you going to do with that slot better than eliminating Mewtwo's LO recoil? Eliminate Blaziken's LO recoil?
I can't find anything on him either. Everyone's obsessed with obviously good ones like Gengar that the others don't have any solid stats or any threads yet.
Better is subjective and they both do completely different things.I'm having the hardest time picking between Mega Lucario and Mega Gengar. I guess it's probably safe to assume that Mega Lucario is the better of the two.
Hello, I'm Adamant Life Orb Blaziken. In Ubers, with Sun up and with a Swords Dance, I can ONE HIT KILL Giratina in either forme with Flare Blitz! And now I can do it without Life Orb recoil!Faster isn't much in ubers since bar the rare scarf terra (shitty check to ekiller imo), everything else standard blaze outspeeds. It still has poor bulk by uber standards. Gira-a doesn't give a crap about blaze since it can easily tank anything and phase it out. Gira-o will heavily dent it with dtail while still taking hits reasonably well.
It needs to be at +6 adamant LO with a sun boosted flare blitz to ohko gira-a and +4 to ohko gira-o. But yes blaze can ohko them in that very likely scenario.Hello, I'm Adamant Life Orb Blaziken.

Def Gira-A can tank anything vs Blaziken,while being able to phaze it with Dtail/Roar.Blaziken can't do anything especially in rain.Also no one in their right mind would use EQ on Gira-A idk what you're talking about.No, wait, I was thinking 2HKO. Which you should be able to get on Gira A because he can't do damage to you without Earthquake.
blaze isn't known for its longevity....... You might as well give deo-a a megaform that has similar damage to LO deo-a and call it a day.The practical difference between Max+ LO Blaziken (372 x 1.3) and Max+ Mega Blaziken (460) is 23 more points. I really don't think that's worth 10% of your health per attack.
