My mega and is used as a special sweeper with boosted heat wave having high base power and accuracy as well as use in double battles, Roost for recovery, Drought solar beam for coverage against water and rock weakness as well as ground types, air slash is to neutrally hit dragons rather than dragon claw to make use of high special attack stat.

Nature: Docile
EVs: 252 Spe / 4 Atk / 252 SpA

Sap sipper also provides immunity to powder attacks.

Another special sweeper with decent bulk and recover to increase the usefulness of the life orb to further power up it's already high offences and thunder wave to slow potential threats such as mega gengar allowing time to recover lost HP

Gliscor Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison heal
Nature: Bashful
EV's: 250 Def/ 250Hp / 8 SpD

My current staller and main physical attacker and defender, poison heal allows for immunity to major status conditions to counter stallers, it's physical bulk and healing from poison heal gives it chance to set up a sword dance. Earthquake for stab attack and sky uppercut to deal with normal type stallers and mega tyranitar.
