I suppose it does. But like, his ability is not essentially 2 attacks with the same power in a row. It's like normal power first then a decrease (by idk how much) on the second, it's still great though.
I'm trying to breed a Charmander for Charizard X. Should I use Outrage or Dragon Claw?

They both get the Tough Claws boost, and one becomes easy to predict but is more deadly, and the other you have more room to turn the tables
I'd go with Outrage
I think the second attack is half of the first attack. Kanga should have been Normal/Fighting  She essencially gets a Swords Dance + attacks, but that STAB would have been nice. I wonder what else she can abuse though.

For the record: Blaziken and Garchomp were both already in the Ubers tier because they were overpowered. Their Megas will probably as well. Although it is possible Nintendo gave Garchomp a Mega evolution with lower speed to actually make it more viable in OU. But the regular (hidden ability) Blaziken was banned already, and Garchomp too.
I could definitely see Mega Lucario and Mega Gengar getting banned as well. Especially gengar. Do keep in mind that Gengar doesn't have levitate anymore and is Poison type. Earthquake will hit him HARD. But yeh, with that speed, try to actually get an earthquake fired. You won't.
For the rest: I don't really know, honestly. This is really just from current information, and I am far from an expert on competative battling. I've never done it 
I just read what others are saying.

But Fraxure learns Outrage at lvl 60 and mine's still at lvl 37.  
But it does have significant more power and Charizard doesn't mind Fairies as much as other Dragons idk.
I hate being locked into Outrage + the confusion afterwards though. It's terrible.
And about Kanga, yeah, except against Ghost types. 
Normal/Fight would have been nice though, and she wouldn't have remained basic.

Do any of you guys have actual friends in real life that play pokemon?
I remember back in HS, I would sit with my friends (Pretty much all female) and they all played Pokemon which was a surprise. For every 1 guy I knew who played pokemon, there would be like 3-4 female friends of mine who would play also

Keep in mind that Garchomp wasn't actually banned because he's overpowered. He was firstly banned because of Sand Veil, which in conjunction with Substitute and infinite Sandstorm made him broken, he's OU now because of Rough Skin, and he's been OU ever since that got released. So he'll most probably be OU this Gen and his Mega, IMO, won't even see that much use.
The others most likely will be banned though, it's pretty much a given, which is a shame. I mean Lucario may be banned or not but Gengar and Blaziken are pretty much guaranteed to be. Blaziken is the last Pokemon that needed a Mega, and he's already somewhat broken to begin with. And GF just ****ed up Gengar with Shadow Tag.

Aerodactly is actually the only Pokemon that can out speed Mega Gengar with access to Earthquake. Mega Banette can also get in a Shadow Sneak, Pursuit, or Sucker Punch. Both will need to be safely switched in however, and will possibly have to have another Pokemon sacrificed.
At Beneficial Nature with 31 IV's in Speed the highest Speed Gengar will be at 394, and with Neutral 359.
Weavile, Azelf, Mega Houndoom, Alakazam, and Greninja can all out speed a Mega Genger that is neutral nature, as long as they have beneficial nature in speed.
Either way, they still need to be able to safely switch in, and in most cases it require a Pokemon to faint.

You can have it. After I finish finding this Shiny, I'm at 68 chain now 
If it's anything like yesterday, I may not get it until 190

Froslass deserves a Sp. Atk buff, it's really weird that she is considered a Sp. Attacker yet she has 80 in that base stat.
Gengar has 50 more, and they have the same Speed, she's even frailer than he is, it's really not fair at all.
She needs at least 20 more in Sp. Atk .
