Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 13 Atk / 3 Def / 4 SpD / 14 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Facade
- Swords Dance
- Cosmic Power

It should be fine if you don't Hardswitch them in. Mega aero has eq and mega lop can kill with fake out into cc. On top of that base Lop has Limber and same special bulk as it's mega. Still a hard mu but not impossible and I'd argue less favorable for Ychu.
