Mega Gallade should keep Sharpness when it Mega Evolves

Gallade is my favorite Pokémon, but in Pokémon Champions I sometimes feel pushed to choose another Mega because Mega Gallade loses Sharpness for Inner Focus.

Sharpness fits Gallade perfectly, both mechanically and thematically, and it feels strange that Mega Gallade, whose blade design is even more prominent,loses it when Mega Evolving.

I’d love to see Sharpness on Mega Gallade in a future balance update. If you feel the same, consider sending this feedback through the official Pokémon Champions support form too. The more players who independently share the same feedback, the more visible the issue can become.

Would you like Mega Gallade to have Sharpness?

    I fully agree.

    Tbf though I think the Big Pikachu only did that to balance it, because had this monstrosity had Sharpness in Gen 6, it prolly would've been Xerneas-level broken.

    I get that Mega Gallade with Sharpness would be incredibly strong, but losing it actually makes me want to keep Gallade in its base form. It feels counterintuitive that Mega Evolving can mean giving up damage on the moves that suit it best. If they don’t want its Mega to keep Sharpness, they should make it more appealing in some other way, so there’s a stronger incentive to Mega Evolve.

    Hey @FranzSisto! Welcome to the community. 😊

    Thank you for suggesting that Mega Gallade be able to keep Sharpness - I understand your concern about not having an incentive to use the mega evolve feature. While I'll pass this along to our team, please feel free to submit your suggestions directly at this link. We appreciate your help in making the game even better for all trainers!

    Thank you very much for your response and for passing the suggestion along to the team!

    I’ve also submitted the feedback through the official link you provided, including a possible alternative in case retaining the full Sharpness boost would raise balance concerns.

    I really appreciate your help and consideration!

    The Goat deserves sharpness on the mega, if mega absol z gets to have it then THE sharpness mon as in the only pokemon to have the ability sharpness without it being a mega ability or hidden ability should also have it on its mega.

    (also in the perfect world where gallade is the meta they would instead combine the two abilities but maybe thats a bit much)
