Which is better competitively: Mega Venusaur or Mega Blastoise?

Which Pokemon is better competitively?Note: affection does not exist in competitive battling, so saying that Mega Blastoise/Venusaur is better because it can have a free focus sash (or whatever) does not count.Tier: OU (overused)

My answer would beMega Venusaur.

The reason why I picked Mega Venusaur over Mega Blastoise is because of tier and usage. Both Pokémon pretty much do the exact same thing, but Venusaur just does it slightly better. Here are some pros and cons for each mon:

Mega VenusaurPros:Good special attack, to make use of STAB moves like Giga Drain and Sludge BombVery solid base 123 Defense and 120 Special DefenseExtremely useful ability Thick Fat (halves damage of Fire-and-Ice type moves)Gets good recovery with Synthesis, and can stall with Leech Seed and 100% accurate ToxicRemoves Toxic Spikes upon switching in.Cons:Grass / Poison isn’t the best defensive typingUnderwelming low speed stat of only base 80Needs the Venusaurite to get to this form, so it can’t hold a Black Sludge or anything.Is walled by other stallers (mainly fire types) like Heatran, Chansey, and it OHKO’d by STAB moves from Tapu Lele, Mega Medicham and mainly Mega Alakazam

Mega BlastoisePros:Very solid base special attackGood defensive typing, by only having 2 weaknesses.Is able to remove entry hazards with Rapid Spin, while it keeps your traps on the fieldGood bulk overall, base 120 Defense and 115 Special DefenseMega Launcher ability boosts some strong movesCons:Gets OHKO’d by Eletric-type threads like Tapu KokoHas to rely on RestTalk for recoveryIs outclassed by other Rapid Spinners and bulky Water-types like Toxapex

Both Pokémon are really solid in my opinion, but I would recommend using Venusaur in OU still. Mega Blastoise does pretty OK in UU though.Hope this helped!

I’d have to say Venusaur. Mega Blastoise’s ability is really of no use, Clawitzer uses it better. Thick Fat is excellent. In doubles, Venusaur can use Synthesis in the presence of Drought or Sunny Day users (as well as Desolate Land, but seeing as that’s an extension of Drought, it doesn’t really count.) Because of being Poison type, it gets rid of toxic spikes on the switch, which Blastoise doesn’t and as a result gets poisoned from. It also has more recovery, and while it can’t hold Black Sludge, it isn’t that bad, seeing as that makes it prone to Knock Off. Venusaur also offers more utility, seeing as it can function as an offensive presence, or stall out. All in all, I’d say Venusaur.(Sorry. I can’t put a picture.)
