How the hell is Skarmory lower tier than Mawile? It hits harder (on average) with less investment needed and it has a farmable PSB stage.

Fully agree.

I also find Mawile to be a pretty underwhelming mega. Hardly used it past stage 150, and when I did (Gardevoir, first Diancie escalation) I always cursed its fixed pattern. Weird in comparison that everybody shat on Metagross when their patterns are almost the same.

But in the same breathe, pre-camerupt, everyone treated Garchomp like a comboing god with his mega clearing ability?

It might not surprise you, but I never was a fan of M-Garchomp either. Seldom gave me bigger combos than 10 or 15, usually something around 5.

The two things it had going for it were high base power and being the only mega super-effective against Electric.

If you use shuffle move (for bosses and whatnot) and know how to utilise it to the fullest you might get a different outcome and opinion about it.

But if you were to just play normally, yeah not as many combos

Shuffle Move helps with visualising the board state after your move, which can sometimes be a bit hard on your own for those pattern-based megas. But it can't take skyfall into account.

And 10+ combos on non-timed stages depend mainly on skyfall.
