Hone Claws really helps stone edge, and gives MAero a solid attack boost, but he is still very mediocre relative to other mega evolutions. He's pretty good in UU with Hone Claws and nice bulk, but that's about it. 'd like to mention Roost for the Hone Claws set. Crunch really isn't that great...

Mega Lucario seems to be the most likely candidate... But I think it stays. Sure, it's offenses are fantastic and there are very few counters, but it's still very frail, especially on the special side. A strong STAB special attack usually OHKOs, and physically it's weak to EQ, Fighting Moves...

Kyurem B is amazing, but handled pretty easy by Ferrothorn. Mega Lucario may not be able to switch into things, but the same can be said for its opponents- Mega Luke is a monster. Gliscor is amazing as usual- but Landorus-T- he's a bro.

Decent team you have- it could use some big improvements though. I would try replacing Kingdra with Kabutops. I'd run Life Orb, Max attack and Adamant Nature. Kabutops takes care of Ho-Oh, a huge weakness inf your current team. It also is generally better against most ubers, doing far more...

Change Starmie's ability to natural cure, as analytic boosts move power when the user goes last, and starmie is very fast. Also, Choice Band robs Breloom of being able to spore and then use an attack. try life orb or toxic orb and poison heal. I'd also change Earthquake on Charizard to Roost-...

Is Mandibuzz really incapable of stopping Mega Pinsir? It's only 2HKO'd by a +2 Return (+2 252 Atk Aerilate Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mandibuzz: 230-271 (54.2 - 63.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery, survives a crit though), while Close Combat has a 50/50 chance to do so...

This looks like a really solid team. As you states, Skarmory is a little bit mediocre this Gen given defog. I recommend trying out Lando-T or Gliscor, on top of Tornadus-T over Ttar. Landorus has more offense than Skarmory could ever dream of, Intimidate, and cool things like knock off and...

Banette might not be the greatest MEvo out there, but I've used him and it's worked well. With Gengarite banished, Banette is a great Mega option for spinblocking. Prankster works great, as priority Will o wisp neuters physical spinners like Donphan, Excadrill, and Forretres while also giving it...
