And how about this - give it Fury Cutter to be the first competitively viable user of the move. Leavanny would just have to use it one turn to get it up to its full strength of 160 BP.

Does Fury Cutter actually work like that? If so, that's not a bad idea.

Other things Parental Bond does is fish for crits with Leaf Blade and Shadow Claw, Defense boosts with Steel Wing (it actually learns that), and halving an opponent's Special Attack with Struggle Bug (pretty gimmicky but eh). Maybe give it Rock Smash?

I'm jumping onto Parental Bond Leavany. Less coverage, no PvP, and poor defensive typing, but let it set up and it could do very well in OU.
Then the sprite of Mega Leavanny would have to be Leavanny and Swadloon in the battlefield just like Mega Kangaskhan's sprite. Use Struggle Bug and watch your opponent's special attack drop by two stages.

Alright guys you know there drill, here are the results

Excadrill: Mega Mantine
Excadrill (Excadrillite)
Type: Ground/Steel -> Ground/Steel
Abilities: Sand Rush, Sand Force (Mold Breaker) -> Iron Barbs
New Moves: Spikes

HP: 110 -> 110
Atk: 135 -> 160 (+25)
Def: 60 -> 110 (+50)
SpA: 50 -> 50
SpD: 65 -> 100 (+35)
Spe: 88 -> 78 (-10)
BST: 508 -> 608

Uh

So, Excadrill is really bulky now. Great defenses, same great typing and high Attack, useful ability. It can lay hazards and spin at the same time.


Audino: Mczatar
Mega Audino
Normal -> Normal
Healer/Regenerator/Klutz -> Castrophany (Sound based moves do x1.5 damage)
103/60/86/60/86/50 445 -> 103/70(+10)/111(+25)/110(+50)/111(+25)/40(-10) 545
New Moves: Chatter, Boomburst, Bug Buzz

As the hearing pokemon, Audino mega should gain a more offensive form, which also can copy other pokemons sound and make them stronger, like a good pianist can do :D
It also get a very nice 103/111/111 defenses which will keep it in the battle longer.


Zebstrika: GG Unit
Mega Zebstrika
Type: Electric -> Electric/Fire
Abilities: Lightning Rod/Motor Drive/Sap Sipper -> Capacitance (Poison Touch with Paralysis)
New Moves: Flare Blitz, Electro Ball

HP: 75 -> 75
Atk: 100 -> 135 (+35)
Def: 63 -> 78 (+15)
SpA: 80 -> 95 (+15)
SpD: 63 -> 78 (+15)
Spe: 116 -> 136 (+20)
BST: 497 -> 597

Zebstrika already learns some Fire moves, and I also figured that an electric zebra living in the savanna would be bound to start some grass fires. Mega Zebra gets more of a physical attacking spread, but it's not devastatingly powerful when compared to the other megas. Instead, Capacitance allows it to ram into things and hopefully spread some status; Flare Blitz now has a 30% chance of paralysis and a 7% chance of burning. Don't sleep on the chance to use a 150 BP STAB Electro Ball on any paralyzed Pokemon Zebstrika naturally outspeeds


Gigalith: Tie between Mega Mantine and The Pizza Man (Click my avatar)
Gigalith (Gigalithite)
Type: Rock -> Rock
Abilities: Sturdy (Sand Force) -> Energy Crystal (takes 75% damage when hit by a special move and its special attack rises one stage)
New Moves: Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam

HP: 85 -> 85
Atk: 135 -> 160 (+25)
Def: 130 -> 150 (+20)
SpA: 60 -> 95 (+35)
SpD: 80 -> 100 (+20)
Spe: 25 -> 25
BST: 515 -> 615

Mega Gigalith's unique ability allows it to stay in on special attacks and retaliate with its own. Even without the boost, it can use a variety of special attacks to take down physical walls - Ice Beam for Gliscor, Hippowdon and Tangrowth, Flamethrower for Ferrothorn and Skarmory, Thunderbolt for Water types and Skarmory.

Mega Gigalith
Typing: Rock --> Rock/Fairy
Ability: Sturdy/Sand Force --> Lightningrod
Stats: 85/135/130/60/80/25 --> 85/140/120/110/105/55
New Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Energy Ball

Mega Gigalith is a pokemon who absorbs light and energy in order to use it for its own attacks. Now, Lightingrod might make no sense competitivly and even less sense falvor wise but I will tell you why they make sense respectively. Competitively,it makes sense by giving Mega Gigalith a nice immunity to Thunder Wave, which can be very deadly for such a slow pokemon. It also helps Mega Gigalith boost up its special attack since its going to need a boost in that area. Flavourwise, think of electricity of light energy, and that is what Mega Gigalith is absorbing. The Fairy type is to boost its Dazzling Gleam, which is my main light attack move here. Energy Ball was given for both flavour reasons and coverage.


This post starts the submission period for Throh, Sawk, Leavanny, and Scolipede

Mega Throh
Typing: Fighting ----> Fighting
Abilities: Guts/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker ----> Chi Flow (restores 1/16 health each turn; essentially Leftovers in ability form)
BST: 120/100/85/30/85/45 ----> 120/130/125/30/115/45
New Moves: None

Mega Throh works pretty much the same as regular Throh, only with greater bulk and Atk. By setting up without mega evolving, the opponent may hesitate to status Throh because of Guts, which of course works in reverse when one expects the opposing Throh to be Mega, only to get smacked by a Guts Throh. However, Mega Throh is pretty slow even when not by OU standard, and relies heavily on its stat boosts, making it susceptible to Roar or Whirlwind users.

Mega Sawk
Typing: Fighting ----> Fighting
Abilities: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker ----> Rattled
BST: 75/125/75/30/75/85 ----> 75/165/95/40/85/105
New Moves: High Jump Kick

While the ability doesn't quite fit with the flavor (and I'm bad at naming things, or I'd have renamed the ability), Rattled allows Sawk to switch into Bug, Dark and some Ghost attacks, giving it a speed boost and proceed to outspeed most opponents. 165 Atk is pretty good even without boosting, and strong physical moves such as High Jump Kick and Earthquake helps. Being a Fighting type, though, left it pretty vulnerable to priority Flying type attacks, such as that from Talonflame and Mega Pinsir.

Mega Scolipede
Typing: Bug/Poison ----> Bug/Poison
Abilities: Poison Point/Swarm/Speed Boost ----> Toxic Armor (clone of Rough Skin)
BST: 60/100/89/55/69/112 ----> 60/120/149/65/109/92
New Moves: Horn Leech, Wild Charge, Coil

No idea why, but the first time I saw Scolipede and its pre-evo Whirlipede I thought of Ouroboros. So here, have a Mega Scolipede based on the legendary serpent. With it coiled up, the Mega is much bulkier than before, able to take much more hits. The addition of Coil allows Scolipede to use Gunk Shot and Megahorn better, and Horn Leech and Wild Charge both adds to its coverage. Accumulating Speed Boost before Mega evolving can let Mega Scolipede outspeed many foes despite its lowered speed, but it will still be beaten by Flying-type priorities.

EDIT: Also, Gigalith's special move just got ridiculously colorful ._.
Also, Pizza, why is your own Gigalith submission's SpD 115? That'd make it only a 80 point boost in BST.
 
Throh (Throhite)
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Guts, Inner Focus (Mold Breaker) -> Guts
New Moves: Mach Punch, Drain Punch

HP: 120 -> 120
Atk: 100 -> 130 (+30)
Def: 85 -> 120 (+35)
SpA: 30 -> 30
SpD: 85 -> 120 (+35)
Spe: 45 -> 45
BST: 465 -> 565

Just look at that bulk! Mega Throh can fill a few roles, thanks to welcome movepool additions. It's bread and butter has always been Bulk Up, allowing it to become an incredibly bulky attacker now using Drain Punch as a way to recover without Rest. The rest of its moves can be filled with Stone Edge, Ice Punch, Mach Punch or Payback. It could also run a ResTalk set which works well with Guts or a bulky set with Circle Throw and Mach Punch to pick off weakned opponents.


Sawk (Sawkite)
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Sturdy, Inner Focus (Mold Breaker) -> Sturdy
New Moves: Mach Punch, Drain Punch

HP: 75 -> 75
Atk: 125 -> 165 (+40)
Def: 75 -> 85 (+10)
SpA: 30 -> 30
SpD: 75 -> 85 (+10)
Spe: 85 -> 125 (+40)
BST: 465 -> 565

Mega Sawk rips teams apart with powerful STAB and already has the necessary coverage in Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Ice Punch. Thanks to Sturdy and Mach Punch, it is adept at revenge killing. It can also use Reversal with Sturdy, but with hazards and priority being so common it'd be hard pressed to find that opportunity.


Leavanny (Leavannite)
Type: Bug/Grass -> Bug/Grass
Abilities: Swarm, Chlorophyll (Overcoat) -> Silk Shroud (This Pokemon takes half damage from attacks. But when attacked, the Pokémon drops this silk, laying Sticky Web)
New Moves: Cross Chop

HP: 75 -> 75
Atk: 103 -> 143 (+40)
Def: 80 -> 100 (+20)
SpA: 70 -> 80 (+10)
SpD: 80 -> 100 (+20)
Spe: 92 -> 102 (+10)
BST: 500 -> 600

Leavanny is more gimmicky than anything, but has decent coverage between Cross Chop, Shadow Claw, and one of its STABs. A Hone Claws or Swords Dance set are viable, and even after it already has laid Sticky Web, its ability still provides it with what is essentially Multiscale.


Scolipede (Scolipedenite)
Type: Bug/Poison -> Bug/Poison
Abilities: Poison Point, Swarm (Speed Boost) -> Technician
New Moves: Fell Stinger, Coil

HP: 60 -> 60
Atk: 100 -> 148 (+48)
Def: 89 -> 100 (+11)
SpA: 55 -> 55
SpD: 69 -> 90 (+21)
Spe: 112 -> 132 (+20)
BST: 485 -> 585

Mega Scolipede has a few options to use with Technician. Rock Tomb becomes a better Rock Slide and Bug Bite a better X-scissor, while Bulldoze is slightly weaker than EQ it does lower speed, and if you get lucky with Pin Missile you can deal a lot of damage (25 per hit, 2-5 hits. That's slightly weaker than X-scissor at worst). Coil is another move, it's fitting and has the benefit of fixing inaccurate moves like Megahorn, Pin Missile, and Rock Tomb. It also can be used with BP, which has been nerfed enough that it's manageable.
 
Mega Leavanny
Grass/bug>>>>>>>>>grass/bug
Swarm, chlorophyll, overcoat>>>>>>>>Silk Trap (similar to arena trap, only fire types and Pokemon with the abilities Flame Body and Magma Armor can escape.) (Not even U turn or Volt Switch can save you) (this ability stops working if Mega Leavanny is Burned).
Stats: 75/103/80/70/80/92
Mega: 75/133/100/70/100/122

Mega Leavanny's Silk Trap is based of stringing the opponent, this trapping them. It's speed tier matches Grenenja and makes it a faster dugtrio. This ability wrecks water, ground, rock, psychics, dark, and opposing grass types.

Mega Scolipede
bug/poison>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bug/poison
Poison Point, Swarm, Speed Boost (Quick Feet 5th gen)>>>>>>>>>Toxicate (makes Normal moves become Poison moves with a 30% boost)
Stats: 60/100/89/55/69/112
Mega: 60/135/100/55/100/135

Toxicate can help buff some normal type moves such as Retuen or Rock Climb.

Mega Sawk
Fighting>>>>>>>>>Fighting
Sturdy, Inner Focus, Mold Breaker>>>>>>>>>>No Guard
Stats: 75/125/75/30/75/85
Mega: 75/150/100/30/100/110
New Moves: Dynamic Punch

This mega attempts to outclass Machamp. It is faster, bulkier, and more powerful than Machamp and it does the job better for Dynamicpunching opponents and confusing them.

I might edit later when I have free time.

New Moves: Fury Cutter

Can't you just see Mega Leavanny carrying a Swadloon around in one of those baby bjorn things made out of leaves? As has been discussed, Mega Leavanny doesn't pack quite the whallop that Mega Kangaskhan does and has worse typing/coverage, but it's fast and gets to try some different moves with Parental Bond. When factoring in Parental Bond and the two chances to crit, Leaf Blade's essentially a 143 BP STAB move. Fury Cutter's sort of an alternative version of PuP on Mega Kanga that doesn't provide coverage and requires you use it consecutively, but the reward can be immense if you get it up to 160 BP (whether that takes one or two turns with Parental Bond, I'm unsure, but Kangaskhan can learn Fury Cutter in Emerald so it should be easy enough to test).

Mega Throh
Typing: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Guts/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Leverage (1.5x damage bonus against foes hit by 100 BP Low Kick/Grass Knot and 2x bonus against foes hit for 120 BP)
BST: 120/100/85/30/85/45 -> 120/120(+20)/120(+35)/30/110(+25)/65(+20)
New Moves: N/A

As a judo Pokemon, Throh uses the opponent's size against it; its Pokedex entry states that Throh relishes the chance to throw larger enemies around. Here's an idea of the power it can reach against the heaviest of the heavy:
252+ Atk Throh Circle Throw vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 388-460 (100.5 - 119.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Dumped some points into speed partially so Throh could beat some phazers to the punch with Circle Throw and also because it might be a little out of hand with more Attack or higher defenses than Arceus-Fighting.

Mega Sawk
Typing: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Combo Artist (Moves do 1.5x damage against foes with lowered Speed
BST: 75/125/75/30/75/85 -> 75/160(+35)/95(+20)/30/95(+20)/110(+25)
New Moves: N/A

Sawk's boosts parallel Throh's while keeping it the more offensive of the two. Its ability gives it reason to run Low Sweep/Rock Tomb or to make it a primary sweeper on a Sticky Web team. Flavorwise, bringing the opponent to the ground (such as with a Low Sweep) is one way to score points in full-contact karate, and doing so pumps Mega Sawk up. For an idea of Mega Sawk's raw power, if a 252 HP Gyarados switches into SR and is hit on the switch with Rock Tomb, Sawk has a chance at taking it out the next turn with Close Combat. Yes, this is all at -1 Attack: pack a Ghost against Mega Sawk.

Mega Leavanny

Grass / Bug ----> Grass / Bug
Swarm / Chlorophyll / Overcoat ----> New Leaf, Grass-type moves used by this Pokemon can't be resisted
75 / 103 / 80 / 70 / 80 / 92 (500) / 75 / 123 (+20) / 90 (+10) / 110 (+40) / 90 (+10) / 112 (+20) (600)
New Moves: Leaf Storm

Okay, so Mega Leavanny has an interesting niche in having all his Grass-type moves unresisted, meaning that Mega Leavanny works as a great revenge killer of sorts, finishing off weakened foes with unresisted STAB. 112 base Speed is there to outrun important foes, such as Thundurus, Latios, and Terrakion, while having 123 / 110 offenses really helps fit your needs, and having good moves in Leaf Blade and the new Leaf Storm help the cause greatly. The rest of the stat boosts are added to defenses, largely to avoid making Mega Leavanny too powerful.
 
Mega Sawk

Typing: Fighting -> Fighting

Abilities: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Martial Instincts (Punching, Kicking, and Chopping Moves always Critical Hit)*

BST: 75/125/75/30/75/85 -> 75/175(+50)/90(+15)/30/90(+15)/105(+20)

New Moves: Mach Punch, High Jump Kick


*Affects all moves affected by Iron fist, in addition to Blaze Kick, Brick Break, Close Combat, Cross Chop, Double Kick, Dual Chop, Force Palm, High Jump Kick, Jump Kick, Karate Chop, Low Kick, Mega Kick, Rock Smash, Rolling Kick, Triple Kick.


Seeing as Sawk is the personification of Karate, and as thus in karate one is trained to watch for and strike at openings in an opponent’s guard. This is demonstrated by M-Sawk always getting critical hits when using any martial arts based moves (Punches, Kicks, and Chops). Added Mach Punch for priority and High Jump Kick as it seemed fitting flavour-wise for a Martial Artist.
 
A quick question: why is the limit for new moves a Pokemon can receive with their Mega only 3? If we want to be accurate to the games, this limit should be 4, as Heracross gained Pin Missile, Arm Thrust, Bullet Seed, and Rock Blast in the transition to generation 6 solely for the purpose of its Mega. I know we're trying to prevent them from becoming too ridiculous, but I figure it is important to at least note this.

New Moves: Rock Throw, Submission

Mega Throh is a great pokemon. Bulky with a 120/100/100 and has a nice attack + a boost when fighting a heavy pokemom (As the judo pokemon :D)

Let's go karate! Sensei ability is just a better Iron Fist, Who will give Sawk the upper hand on other pokemon. Also has some nice defenses, still less than Throh.

Eh why not give this a shot. Someone let me know if I do something wrong.

Mega Throh
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Guts/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Technician
BST: 120/100/85/30/85/45 (465) -> 120/130(+30)/110(+25)/50(+20)/100(+15)/55(+10) (565)
New Moves: Mach Punch, Feint

Yeah so basically a bulkier, harder hitting Throh. Thought Technician would be nice since a good amount of Throh's moves that it learns naturally would be activated by technician, like Storm Throw for example. Yeah the special attack boost is for the realistic nature of how some of these boosts are given to mons, where they generally would get a boost in a useless stat. Added some much needed priority but other than that though not much else to say.


Mega Sawk
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Competitive
BST: 75/125/75/30/75/85 (465) -> 75/130(+5)/75/100(70+)/85(+10)/100(+15) (565)
New Moves: Vacuum Wave, Aura Sphere

Somewhat of a different take on Sawk where now it can pull off a mixed set with some of the move additions. Chose Competitive as the ability to allow M-Sawk a chance to gain a +2 Special attack boost and or to be used as a check to defog. A bit of speed added, slight special defense and attack boost, and the big special attack boost to show that M-Sawk is used much differently than regular Sawk.
Edit: Took out the Psyshock since after taking a second glance it didn't make sense on how it would learn it initially. Kept it to pure fighting type as well.

New Moves: N/A

Generic mixed sweeper basically. Wonder Skin cause it's the only logical ability I can think of without making it something ridiculous or something that is practically useless. Left the typing as it is to compensate for the increases.


Mega Scolipede

Abilities: Swarm/Poison Point/Speed Boost -> Clean Slate (Stat increases or decreases on the user are set back to normal at the end of the turn)
BST: 60/100/89/55/69/112 (485) -> 60/135(+35)/120(+31)/60(+5)/80(+11)/130(+18) (585)
New Moves: N/A

Physical sweeper. Gets a buff on the physical side, negligible special attack increases, light special defense buff, and speed increase. The ability would generally be to keep it under control as the stat increases are quite significant, while also bringing the decreases back to neutral to maintain itself as a threat.

So yeah that's basically it.

Eh why not give this a shot. Someone let me know if I do something wrong.

Mega Throh
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Guts/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Technician
BST: 120/100/85/30/85/45 (465) -> 120/130(+30)/110(+25)/50(+20)/100(+15)/60(+15) (565)
New Moves: Mach Punch, Feint

Yeah so basically a bulkier, harder hitting Throh. Thought Technician would be nice since a good amount of Throh's moves that it learns naturally would be activated by technician, like Storm Throw for example. Yeah the special attack boost is for the realistic nature of how some of these boosts are given to mons, where they generally would get a boost in a useless stat. Added some much needed priority but other than that though not much else to say.


Mega Sawk
Type: Fighting -> Fighting
Abilities: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker -> Competitive
BST: 75/125/75/30/75/85 (465) -> 75/130(+5)/75/100(70+)/85(+10)/100(+15) (565)
New Moves: Vacuum Wave, Aura Sphere

Somewhat of a different take on Sawk where now it can pull off a mixed set with some of the move additions. Chose Competitive as the ability to allow M-Sawk a chance to gain a +2 Special attack boost and or to be used as a check to defog. A bit of speed added, slight special defense and attack boost, and the big special attack boost to show that M-Sawk is used much differently than regular Sawk.
Edit: Took out the Psyshock since after taking a second glance it didn't make sense on how it would learn it initially. Kept it to pure fighting type as well.


Mega Leavanny
Type: Grass/Bug -> Grass/Bug
Abilities: Swarm/Chlorophyll/ Overcoat -> Wonder Skin
BST: 75/103/80/70/80/92 (500) -> 75/110(+7)/95(+15)/110(+40)/95(+15)/115(+23) (600)
New Moves: N/A

Generic mixed sweeper basically. Wonder Skin cause it's the only logical ability I can think of without making it something ridiculous or something that is practically useless. Left the typing as it is to compensate for the increases.

You have 5 too many points in Throh :P

Mega Throh
Type: Same
Abillity: Guts/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker --> Judo Throw (Negative Priority Moves get a 1.5x boost)
Stats: 120/100/85/30/85/45 --> 120/135/110/30/110/60
New Moves : Avalanche, Mach Punch

Since most of Throh's throwing moves are decreased priority moves, I decided to give Mega Throh an ability that boosts the power of these moves. This actually comes with some pretty powerful results. Throh is now an extremely bulky attacker who can do a ton of damage, using its nicely powerful Vital and Circle Throws to its advantage. Its also got a pretty good coverage move which is boosted by its ability, which is Avalanche. If negative priority is to much for you, then you can always use the positive priority mach punch.

Mega Sawk
Type: Same
Ability: Sturdy/Inner Focus/Mold Breaker --> Technician
Stats: 75/125/75/30/75/85 --> 75/160/100/75/100/100
New Moves: Mach Punch

Since most moves with some type of relationship with Karate have a base power of less than 60, I decided to give Sawk Technician. This ability is extremely helpful. It makes Mega Sawk a more powerful Technican user than Mega Scizor, although with not as good defenses and typing. Mega Sawk is also kinda bulky, so it will definitely be taking some hits and dishing out damage in return. Its speed is also really helpful.

Mega Leavanny
Typing: Bug/Grass --> Bug
Ability: Swarm/Chlorophyll/Overcoat --> Simple
Stats: 75/103/80/70/80/92 --> 75/123/100/90/100/112
New Moves: Bug Buzz

Mega Leavanny can now use its bug type to the fullest potential. It is a great sticky web setter due to its nice speed and a moderate amount of bulk. It can also be a quite deadly setup sweeper, using its hone claws for a very nice physical attacking set and calm mind for a nice special attacking set. Mega Leavanny can really preform a nice amount of roles when you think about it. Grass type was removed to give it a better defensive typing

A quick question: why is the limit for new moves a Pokemon can receive with their Mega only 3? If we want to be accurate to the games, this limit should be 4, as Heracross gained Pin Missile, Arm Thrust, Bullet Seed, and Rock Blast in the transition to generation 6 solely for the purpose of its Mega. I know we're trying to prevent them from becoming too ridiculous, but I figure it is important to at least note this.
Yeah I suppose but I don't see arm thrust as a competitive move on Heracross and as such I don't find a reason to acknowledge it as part of its new movepool as it's more for flavor. 3 moves keeps it simple as this meta is already confusing even without new moves.

Reserving Mega Shuckle. I was thinking I'd make it a Dragon/Fairy type with Fur Coat and Geomancy and a new signature move that...
 
Good stuff AM145. One thing I'd suggest is since the goal's to make every Mega Evolution something that would be on equal footing with a good OU Pokemon, don't be afraid to give something that's currently far from competitive a ridiculous improvement over its base form. Think of how Mega Mawile got the best possible secondary typing for it, one of the 5-10 best abilities in the game, and a nearly optimal distribution in terms of adding 0 points to base stats it wouldn't use (everything can use more speed, but Mawile was so slow that making it decently fast would have left it sorely lacking in at least one of the other three stats). All that makes it a very good Pokemon, but it's still nowhere close to being overpowered in OU.

In that vein, remember to shift your perception of base stats to accommodate for a Mega's item slot being taken up: 110/110/115 normally seems like a top-notch spread for a mixed sweeper, but base 110 attack with no boosting item hits as hard as base 75 with a Life Orb, which isn't scaring much in OU. While in some cases getting rid of LO recoil can be beneficial for survivability, a lot of these NU/PU mons are hampered enough by typing/base stats that they won't be taking many hits at all if you choose to go the offensive route for their megas.

Side note, I'll be leaving for vacation tomorrow and will have limited Internet access over the next week. I'll probably miss out on some votes, but I'm gonna dump some half-baked ideas for the next few slates here. Feel free to copy them, make improvements, ignore them,whatever you want!
Basculin - Water type, ability: Relentless (switching foes are automatically hit with Pursuit)

Krookodile - Ground/Dark, Strong Jaw, stats in the neighborhood of 95/145/110/75/100/92

Darmanitan - either a Stance Change clone that switches between a Fire Type with a 105/180/75/30/75/115 spread for physical attacks and Fire/Psychic with a 110/30/125/180 125/75 spread for other attacks OR if that can't be coded, maybe a really hard-hitting (like 180-190 base) and fast physical Fire/Psychic that gets Zen Headbutt and an ability that gives a multiplicative boost (1.2x like Metronome, maybe) for consecutively using Fire and Psychic moves.

Maractus - Grass, Sharp Needles (Spike/Needle moves (Pin Missile, Spike Cannon, Needle Arm) do 1.5x damage and scatter a layer of Spikes) Learns Spike Cannon and stat spread is mostly geared towards Attack



Crustle - Bug/Rock, either Sturdy or a Hyper Cutter equivalent that prevents Shell Smash from lowering its defenses, 70/140/150/65/105/45

Scrafty - Dark/Fighting, Moxie, 65/113/130/55/130/93 spread - it got a belt/tighter pants and can move faster now.

Sigilyph - Psychic/Flying, Oracle (automatically uses Future Sight upon entering the field) 72/68/95/138/95/122, +U-turn

Cofagrigus - Ghost, ability auto-Mean Looks anything that hits it with a contact move, probably dump some points into Attack/Speed so it's not too good at trapping + boosting.


Carracosta - Water/Rock, Bulletproof, stats to make it more of a Curse user.

Garbodor - Poison or Poison/Steel, Biohazard (uses Toxic when switching in), slower & bulkier

Cinccino - can't think of anything too special, just Speed and Attack boosts with Skill Link?

Gothitelle - Psychic, ability flips opponent's Attack and Special Attack upon switching in, more defensively oriented

What are you talking about, Megawile is S-Rank and I think the next suspect as well.

New Moves: Coil, Gunk Shot.

Extremely powerful set up sweeper
utilizing both Coil and Speed Boost. Two powerful STABs in Gunk Shot and Mega Horn synergies incredibly well with Coil.
However, with an SR weakness, horrid SpD and no reliable recovery, it may struggle to find more than one opportunity to get set up.
