Because similar to Miltoic and Matrix, I think Garchomp is one of the best Pokemon designs ever. I'm not a competitive player, so I'm not sure if he is a stellar pokemon in that respect.

Too bad his Mega Evolution makes him look dopey, with the dumb eyes and changing his claws and wingarm to... whatever is on the end of his hand now.

Yes. He's considered better than Zygarde just do to his stat spread, he's incredibly powerful as a sweeper, and his popularity keeps rising as more dragons come out and prove to be barely half as useful as Garchomp.

They're changed to chainsaws, and no worries. In the competitive scene, Mega Evolving Garchomp is seen as unnecessary, as he doesn't need the stat boost, and can functions better with other items (While saving the mega evo slot for another Pokemon).
