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).

Also, he gets slower when he Mega Evolves, which people see as a detriment.
