My genuine question is why they gave Mega Skarmory, where one of its most prominent features are its CLAWS...but not give it tough claws, genuinely what were they thinking, what does it even GAIN from this?

i guess its because trees naturally attract lighting? or maybe its cuz gamefreak just decided to have some festivity and imagined mega sceptile has a christmas tree :sceptile-mega:

I remember someone once suggested that mega Sceptile's ability should be changed to "Christmas Tree" (maybe call it "Holiday Spirit", and give it to Delibird too for the luls) which gives it immunity to Ice moves, that would be peak

that or making it a physical attacker with Sharpness which instantly takes the mon from NUBL to OU if not Ubers

mon has all the physical coverage it could want, swords dance, dragon dance, and 2 physical stabs boosted by sharpness (135 bp leaf blade its old signature move, and 120 BP dragon claw)
But ofc it's a special attacker, where it has no boosting options at all, and its literal only coverage moves are Focus blast and Vacuum wave

Genuinely I hope they change its stats and ability
 
I can see this being a hot take, but Mega Scovillain is actually great in singles. I thought it would just die to everything, but not at all.. it has similar bulk to Rotom-Wash when fully invested and its janky typing means it has basically no weakness to common physical coverage. Your opponent can never again click attacks with their important physical sweepers or utility mons against any of your team for fear of getting burned on the switch. Its no Mega Banette either, this mon is capable of doing it vs multiple threats easily and doesnt have to throw its life away.
This is the set Ive been running but you could argue for giga drain imo:
:scovillain-mega:
Scovillain-Mega @ Scovillainite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Leech Seed
- Flamethrower

It def has some issues such as rocks weakness without boots and wanting to mega evolve ASAP, and its easy to lament it not having 50% recovery or high defenses. But at the end of the day it still gets the job done vs common threats (:starmie: :excadrill: :garchomp: :zeraora: :corviknight: :melmetal: :absol: :chesnaught:) and its ability to land burn on valuable or elusive targets is something no other mon can do.
Idk what else to say about it. The mon is 50x better in practice than on paper
