PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Volt Switch outperforms Charge Beam on paper, but the latter is easier to dodge with. 
  • Zap Cannon is the charge move of choice, doing far more damage for the same amount of energy as Thunder.
  • Thunder Punch deals less damage per hit, but as a 3-bar move is more consistent and is a good option for a 2nd charge move. 
  • Dragon Pulse can't deal Super Effective damage alongside Mega Ampharos' Electric Type fast moves, leaving it in the dust despite STAB.
  • Focus Blast, Power Gem, Trailblaze and Return are worthless on Mega Ampharos.

PVE Overview

One of only two Electric Type Mega Evolutions in the game, Mega Ampharos is the weaker option in terms of DPS, but generally has a higher TDO to make up for it, especially when its Dragon sub-type resists the opposing Pokemon. As a Dragon Type attacker, it's... not good. Just stick with Mega Charizard X.
