Um, no? Jolly Mega Heracross has 273 speed, Jolly base Heracross has 295, Modest Mega Gard and Adamant Char-X has 299.
Jolly is better as it forces Mew, Gliscor, and other checks to speed creep you more taking away from other possible investment elsewhere.
Yes, on a set of either Work Up / Roost / Hurricane / Heat Wave or Stallbreaker which is Work Up / Roost / Refresh / Hurricane
Good coverage options outside of Draco Meteor, Infiltrator, and Taunt and maybe U-Turn are its niches. Oh yeah, very fast for a non-Mega. Very small niches but has some useful applications on specific teams, although it's hyped way too much in that thread.
I wouldn't say it's completely outdone by Sceptile because of its different typing and movepool, Noivern has Draco Meteor, Flamethrower, Hurricane and some other options. Infiltrator lets it screw over stuff behind a sub and on top of that it can stallbreak decently well with Taunt + Super Fang + Roost, but other than that I really don't know why it's been brought up a lot recently, it does sound fairly overrated
"Magic Guard prevents indirect damage, such as from weather conditions, poison, Curse, and Leech Seed, but it does not stop them from being induced. Additional effects, such as trapping from moves like Fire Spin and Attack reduction from aburn, are not prevented."
I think it's saying it doesn't stop the trapping effect, as in the ability to switch out, but the damage itself is nullified (given the reference to burn's effect).
That'd make more sense tbh because I couldn't see the logic in it stopping Leech Seed or Curse damage, but not Fire Spin / Magma Storm trapping damage
Both options are fine. Personally, I like running Adamant as on a rain team, you want Mega Heracross to break down as many walls as possible, and Adamant already outspeeds most troublesome mons to rain teams such as Ferrothorn and Rotom-W.
Nope, that sounds like a pretty bad lure as I'm not sure what a mixed set would even target :x
The reason is Tough Claws, which basically gives it a free life orb with no recoil on contact moves, which most of the time are physical. Also it has access to dragon dance, and iirc no way of boosting it's special attack. Also I'm not really sure what mixed really hits.
