Mega Gallade's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Mega Gallade PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Mega Gallade is a good Psychic- and Fighting-type attacker, but it falls short in both categories due to the presence of wildly better Pokémon.

For Psychic types, the Mewtwo varieties and Mega Alakazam are clearly the way to go. Against Fighting-type raid bosses, Mega Gardevoir is also more convenient due to its Fairy type resisting Fighting-type attacks even more. After all, it's 0.391x damage taken by Mega Gardevoir against Fighting-type hits vs Mega Gallade taking 0.625x damage.

For Fighting types, Mega Gallade is often forgotten in raids as other Mega Evolutions like Mega Blaziken and Mega Falinks are stronger.

Psychic/Fighting isn't notable for its resistances, with only Fighting and Rock in the list. While countering Fighting, Mega Gardevoir takes the advantage with its Fairy typing, and against Rock types, Mega Lucario is unrivaled with its Steel typing.

Mega Gallade is not a bad Mega Evolution in any area, but there's just a pool of greater Pokémon to go ahead with.

Should you max out Mega Gallade?

No. To be fair, Mega Gallade will always remain on the sidelines as a subpar Mega Evolution as better Pokémon steer ahead the curve. Do feel free to use it in lower tier raids but when the boss is a challenging one, Mega Gallade shouldn't be in the picture.

Mega Gallade PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Mega Great League

Mega Gallade doesn't perform as well as regular Gallade or Shadow Gallade. Just use Shadow Gallade instead.

🟡 Mega Ultra League

Just like Mega Great League, Mega Gallade isn't great in Mega Ultra League either and outclassed by regular and Shadow Gallade.

🟣 Mega Master League

This is where Mega Gallade performs the best, making full use of its max CP of 5112. Running a moveset of Low Kick with Sacred Sword and Leaf Blade, it manages to get wins like Mega Swampert, both Kyurems, Melmetal etc. However, it still isn't a meta pick, as the losses are more in number.
