Bird Jesus UNITE! A Mega Pidgeot Team!

[ShadowGuy1]

Hey guys! Its me ShadowGuy1 here and back for more Rate My Team! ORAS introduced us to so many megas that we should test them out more. This is my team based on Mega Pidgeot.
Changes in RED!

Pidgeot @ Pidgeotite
Ability: Big Pecks
Happiness: 0
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- U-turn
- Roost

Ah, Mega Pidgeot. This guy is as simple as you can get. I have Timid nature to outspeed other pokes. Hurricane and Heat Wave are needed for mega pidgeot as they will never miss. A Hurricane that can never miss is scary. Very scary. And heat wave is their for the coverage.

Cobalion @ Leftovers
EVs: 160 HP / 96 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat
- Volt Switch
- Taunt

This entire explaination will be by galibia as he suggested it and he explained it perfectly. Support Cobalion is a reliable and fast Stealth Rock setter that gives you much needed Speed as well as access to Volt Switch to give your Pidgeot some free switch ins. Cobalion also gives you a Taunt user and Fighting-type STAB to deal with troublesome Rock-types as well as a Knock Off switch in. Perfect reason and it also helps out with Mega Bird Jesus.



Druddigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 24 Spd / 252 Atk / 232Hp
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Gunk Shot
- Night Slash
- Outrage

Druddigon here is to deal Massive damage to the other team. I thought of running banded but this thing is supposed to give people a problem with the type coverage. Earthquake is their for those pesky Steel and Electric types(aka Magneton) Gunk Shot is their for fairies(aka Slurpuff) Night Slash is for Psychic and ghost mons and it can 2 hit a Bronzong. (Don't know the ev spreads) and outrage is their for the stab.

Gligar @ Eviolite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 248 HP / 48 Spd / 212 Def
Impish Nature
- Defog
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Toxic

This is a eviolite Gligar, enough said. JK. This Gligar is simple. Defog is their to get rid of rocks and hazards like that. Earthquake is their just to have the stab ground move. Roost is their to heal up and Toxic is their to again stall. Simple Gligar is simple. I might want to change KO for EQ but i want to hear what you guys say.

Dragalge @Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Sludge Wave
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Ok, with Dragalge getting Adaptabilty now, it is now a threat, and can still take hits. Sludge Wave is their because A.Most powerful poison move for him and B.Stab Draco is their to kill off other Dragalge,Dragon Pulse for Adapability and if I do not want to switch out due to Draco and HP fire for the coverage.


Escavalier @ Assault Vest
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
- Pursuit

Our Final member of the Team is Escavalier. Mega Horn is powerful and can 2hko a Almomola, which is huge. Iron head is their for STAB, Knock off is their like Gligar, but it can do way more damage. Pursuit is their to mainly trap Bronzong, a threat to Dragalge and Bird Jesus . This guy is also a pretty good supporter for Mega Pidgeot.



Thanks for reading! Please leave me suggestions for anything! May it be items, changing pokes, natures anything! Thank you in advance.

Hi ShadowGuy1 i really like the bulky Dragon SPAM core but your team has some flaws and i'll try to fix it. The first thing i notice while looking at your team is that some of the sets you are using are not optimal to your team's goal and can be improved very easily by switching up some moves/items. First of all you should use Earthquake over Toxic or Knock off on Gligar. Using a Ground-type STAB is very important for a lot of reasons and Earthquake has nice synergy with both Toxic and Knock off anyways. Another option would be to run U-turn and Earthquake alongside Roost and Defog to keep up a U-turn chain with M-Pidgeot. You should also change your spread to 248 HP / 212 Def / 48 Spe to get a Stealth Rock number and to always outspeed Max speed Pangoro to U-turn out or attack it first.
Secondly you should use Choice Specs on Dragalge and Assault Vest on Escavalier. While this change might look unnecessary to you in the current RU metagame Dragalge is simply a much more effective Wallbreaker than Escavalier since Adaptability was released and its ability to OHKO threats to Pidgeot such as Rhyperior and Escavalier needs Assault Vest to check Psychic-types repeatedly. I would also suggest you to use Pursuit in Escavalier's moveset to trap Bronzong, which is a threat to Dragalge and Pidgeot, possibly over Drill Run. Dragalge's moveset should also be changed to Draco Meteor/Sludge Wave/Hidden Power Fire or Dragon Pulse/Focus Blast to have optimal coverage throughout the tier and Thunderbolt is outdamaged by Sludge Wave anyway even if Supereffective, thanks to Adaptability.
Seeing that now you already have a Specially Bulky Steel-type in Escavalier i'd suggest you to change your Registeel to support Cobalion. Support Cobalion is a reliable and fast Stealth Rock setter that gives you much needed Speed as well as access to Volt Switch to give your Pidgeot some free switch ins. Cobalion also gives you a Taunt user and Fighting-type STAB to deal with troublesome Rock-types as well as a Knock Off switch in.
Finally i have some tips on your spreads. Pidgeot should be using a Timid Nature as it is not worth it to hinder bulk just to use U-turn more effectively and Druddigon should probably run not more than 24-28 Speed to preserve its bulk. You should also Speed Creep more with Dragalge (167 is a nice number to hit to outrun Alomomola but 171 gets Lanturn, etc.). I will leave the suggested sets below.

Sets

Cobalion @ Leftovers
EVs: 160 HP / 96 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
