They do different jobs. Megacham is an unmatched physical wallbreaker, while Mega Gallade (kinda) sweeps. Mega Gallade isn't bad by any means, it just doesn't particularly stand out at its job - especially compared with mega bunny

Mega Galllade's in an awkward position where it's not as strong of a wallbreaker as Mega Medicham and not fast enough to annoy offensive teams like Mega Lopunny.

M-Gallade isn't bad, it's just a matter of /vp/ ignorantly compring 2 things that are unlike. Medicham and Gallade being a similar type doens't mean they play the same roles.

Gallades biggest issue is just sheer competition for a mega slot. Between Lopunny as the premier fighting mega, and the abundance of mega's who set up to sweep, Gallade falls back a bit. It's still good though.

No, they're both definitely wallbreakers. The only difference is that Medicham doesn't need to SD to break what it wants like Gallade does.

Gallade is better than Medicham in Doubles (fake out and rock slide spam) but inferior to Lopunny. It's worse than both in Singles. I personally think it's worse than Heracross for Fighting megas.

It needs something to make it stand out but fits inline with its theme. Like, some sort of move.

That's incorrect. Ability reveal made people think it will be complete garbage. Then datamining and early ORAS meta made people think it's actually better than Medicham. It wasn't until the meta settled that people realised it's actually worse.
