Flavor Concept: Mega Cryogonal channels its inner magical power of snowflakes to prevent passive damage (look guys I can be creative). That’s about all I really need to explain.
Competitive Concept: Spinner and special tank now with improved longevity and a fantastic ability. Once Mega Evolved, Cyrogonal is fully immune to passive damage; it serves not only as a fantastic user of Rapid Spin, but also as a status absorber. Unfortunately, Mega Cryogonal might have to suffer from one switch-in on SR before it Mega Evolves.
252 SpA Mega Manectric Flamethrower vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Mega Cryogonal: 138-164 (40.2 - 47.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Flavor Concept: Mega Accelgor competes/fights with its enemies for water to avoid dehydration, so it gains the ability Competitive and the Fighting type. Shadow Ball is added because all special attackers (should) have it.
Competitive Concept: Competitive sweeper with solid coverage for a Bug-type. Mega Accelgor beats out the entire unboosted metagame and can hit hard with perfect neutral coverage off of base 140 SpA. Once Talonflame is removed from the game, it can sweep with a set of Bug Buzz/Focus Blast/Shadow Ball/Spikes. Spikes is thrown in there both to set up an easier sweep and to encourage the opponent to use Defog, but Giga Drain can be used for extra coverage.
+2 252+ SpA Mega Accelgor Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Rotom-W: 260-308 (85.5 - 101.3%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

HP: 109 -> 109
Atk: 66 -> 76 (+10)
Def: 84 -> 101 (+17)
SpA: 81 -> 131 (+50)
SpD: 99 -> 112 (+13)
Spe: 32 -> 42 (+10)
Flavor Concept: Stunfisk is known as the “Trap Pokemon,” so I deemed it flavorful for it to trap all opponents on the ground with Grounded. The Fire attacks and Recover are added because why the hell not.
Competitive Concept: Special tank with phenomenal two-move coverage and a unique typing. Mega Stunfisk achieves perfect neutral coverage with Earth Power/Flamethrower in conjunction with its ability, Grounded. Additionally, access to reliable recovery permits it to consistently heal throughout the match in addition to provide utility with its fourth moveslot. Toxic, Scald, Thunderbolt, Stealth Rock, and Thunder Wave are all viable options for added utility.
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Mega Stunfisk: 314-372 (74.5 - 88.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Mega Manectric Hidden Power Ice vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Mega Stunfisk: 124-146 (29.4 - 34.6%) -- 6.2% chance to 3HKO
252+ SpA Mega Stunfisk Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Mega Mawile: 338-402 (111.1 - 132.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Flavor Concept: Mienshao gets all bulked up to deal heavier damage.
Competitive Concept: Risky SD sweeper capable of OHKOing the vast majority of the metagame after only one boost. HJK/Knock Off/Poison Jab provides nearly perfect neutral coverage and insane power. U-Turn is also an option, but is practically incompatible with boosting moves. If you’re not quite convinced of this thing’s viability, just look at this:
+2 252 Atk Reckless Mega Mienshao High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: 333-393 (99.7 - 117.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
+2 252 Atk Mega Mienshao Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Eviolite Dusclops: 256-302 (90.4 - 106.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Reckless Mega Mienshao High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Unaware Quagsire: 232-274 (58.8 - 69.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
