>Only a handful of Pokemon actually get itIf you don't add one of these Pokemon to your competitive team, you'll just look like a horse's ass. I would probably feel more inclined to actually use one if there were at least tripled or quadripled the amount of Megas that we currently got.
>The only way to make certain Pokemon viable like Mawile & Beedrill instead of buffing them baseline.This would end up coming back to bite some of these Pokemon now that Megas are removed in generation 8.
>Feel like a cheap douchebag for using oneEven with the drawback of not being able to use any held items, there's a reason why some of these Pokemon went into uber tier. Hell, Mega Rayquaza makes the entire uber tier shit their pants in fear.
Two of my favorite Pokemon are Absol & Gardevoir, and I've actively refused to use megas in competitive for 7 years... except for Mega Pidgeot, but that's because options for a special sweeper to fit my composition are limited.
