When a garchomp mega evolves how much speed does it lose?

I’ve heard that when Garchomp mega evolves, it loses speed but gains attack. I’m wondering how much speed does it lose. Also, if possible, can I get a better choice. I’m at the mega stone place and curious about which stone to get.

Speed of Lv 10 Garchomp:34Speed of Lv 10 Mega Garchomp:32

32 ÷ 34 = approx. 0.9411 = approx. 94%approx. 6% drop in speed

Speed of Lv 50 Garchomp:154Speed of Lv 50 Mega Garchomp:144

144 ÷ 154 = approx. 0.9350 = approx. 94%approx. 6% drop in speed

Speed of Lv 70 Garchomp:213Speed of Lv 70 Mega Garchomp:199

199 ÷ 213 = approx. 0.9342 = approx. 93%approx. 7% drop in speed

As you can see, when a Garchomp with the build that I specified in the beginning Mega Evolves, it lose 6-7% of it’s total Speed*. If you want to know the exact numbers, do what I did and enter a vanilla Garchomp and a Mega Garchomp with identical stats intoSmogon’s Damage Calculator— it will show you. If you want to calculate the percentage just divide Mega Garchomp’s speed by Garchomp’s speed, and multiply your answer by 100.

• Without EVs the percentage is slightly higher, but not drastically. I encourage you t play around with the math yourself.

I hope this helps!

P.S. Please please tell me if I messed something up, it’s midnight when I’m writing this and I’m prone to errors.

When it Mega Evolves, its stats become 108 in HP, 170 in Attack, 115 in Defense, 120 in Special Attack, 095 in Special Defense, and 092 in Speed.

So, its stat increases are +40 in Attack, +20 in Defense, +40 in Special Attack, +10 in Special Defense, and -10 in Speed.

As for which Mega in Pokémon Sun/Moon is the better choice, (I don’t want to lead you down the wrong path) here are some suggestions [because these have every stat (HP, Att., Def., S.A., S.D., and Speed) increased]:Metagross, Salemence, Sharpedo, Swampert, Banette, Medicham, Blaziken, Scizor, Aerodactyl, Pinsir, and Kangaskhan
