Mega Chomp Z is basically a high risk; medium reward type of pokemon. It plays similar to Latios and Latias with coverage that's good enough to fit in the meta.
Won vs Carneyasadaa, Ggs! Great set!

I feel Baxcalibur is probably one of the few megas that got the short end of a few things. The fact that it has to be either a setup balance sweeper or a trick room pokemon is kinda makes it feel iffy to use.

Delphox has a good matchup into Zard Y. It's faster than Zard, is used on balance teams, Starphox, and has probably is going to thrive with terrains despite not getting value out of it.
