Mega Chesnaught's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Mega Chesnaught PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Much like the other two Kalos starter Mega Evolutions who absolutely dominate their metas, Mega Chesnaught is a beast of a Pokémon.

Grass

Mega Chesnaught right now is the de-facto Grass-type raid attacker. Its unique charged attack Seed Bomb+ goes a long way for it. As such, it now both outdamages and outlasts (thanks to its solid defensive stats) its fellow Mega Grass Starters, Venusaur, and Sceptile. This is one worth investing into if you're looking for a Grass-type to use for raids.

Fighting

There's no putting it any other way but Mega Chesnaught as a Fighting type is bad. A relatively lower ATK and the underwhelming combo of Low Kick and Superpower position Mega Chesnaught's DPS around the level of Sawk and Passimian. No Fighting-type role for Mega Chesnaught please!

Is Mega Chesnaught a good investment in Pokémon GO?

Absolutely, but only as a Grass type.

As a Fighting type, it's not worth it even for Tier 1 Raid battles.

Mega Chesnaught PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Mega Chesnaught's stats just aren't too good here to waste your mega slot on. Not only that, Grass and Fighting as a type combination leaves Chesnaught with quite a lot of weaknesses, including a double weakness to Flying. Best not to use it here.

🟡 Ultra League

While it is noticeably bulkier here, it's not so bulky that its weaknesses are covered for. Once again, that double weakness to Flying is bad, especially against Corviknight in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Mega Chesnaught's best and only PvP option and it is actually quite a good one. It finally can reach a stat potential that makes it a genuine threat in the Mega Master League, having solid stats in both the Attack and Defense departments. It can take down Origin Palkia, Mega Swampert, and Mega Gyarados of course, being a Grass-type that even has Electric coverage in Thunder Punch. It can even take out other bulky Pokémon such as Zacian, Mega Aggron, and Mega Tyranitar. As such, Mega Chesnaught is definitely one worth considering. The only question is whether you want to use it over other Megas. Especially since one of its strongest attacks, Superpower, double debuffs itself.

The best PvP moves for Audino are Low Kick, Seed Bomb+, Superpower, and Thunder Punch.
