Sword Dance Mega Mawile is without a doubt one of the best wallbreakers of the tier; a combination of a monstrous attack stat, a diversified movepool, a boosting move, good priority, and a good defensive presence. It can easily set up on Pokemon such as Chansey, Corviknight or Choiced Kartana after intimidate, and get through any bulky team or pressure offense with Sucker Punch. Play Rough is it's hard hitting stab, Sucker Punch allows it to get past it’s slow speed, Knock Off allows is almost a non-resisted coverage with Play Rough whereas Thunder Punch allows it to get past a lot more easily through Toxapex or Corviknight at the cost of getting walled by Ferrothorn. 164 EVS in speed allows it to outspeed both Corviknigh and Skarmory while still maximising attack and HP, 140 speed EVS is also good to only outspeed Corviknight.
Good hazard with Pokemon like Ferrothorn and both Greninja form support help Mega Mawile break through it's checks and put many threats such as Tapu Koko and Greninja in range of a +2 Sucker Punch. Fast Pokemon that are good against offensive team and pivots such as Tapu Koko or Cinderace are really good with Mega Mawile, because they can lure certain Pokemon that Mega Mawile can pressure. Ash-Greninja is the best example, as they appreciate each other presence, Ash-Greninja providing spike support and speed control whereas Mega Mawile can weaken foes for Greninja to synergize, and they beat their commons checks. But Mega Mawile’s only way to hit faster Pokemon is Sucker Punch, meaning it is very weak to revenge killing, especially when not boosted, and it will have a hard time sweeping through teams that have Pokemon such as Garchomp or Ash-Greninja which can all tank a +2 Sucker Punch.

All-Out Attacker Mega Mawile allows you to threatens and softens any Teams in both early game and late game, thanks to it's huge attack stat, great stab, good priority, and an adaptable movepool that can hit anything, and on top of that, it also has a nice defensive utility. Play Rough is it's hard hitting stab, Sucker Punch allows it to get around it's slow speed, Thunder Punch touch Toxapex, Corviknight and Slowbro, Brick Break let it beat Ferrothorn and Heatran on switch-ins and Fire Fang allows you to beat Magearna, Mega Scizor and other Mawile, while KOing a lot more easily Ferrothorn. 164 EVS in speed allows it to outspeed both Corviknight and Skarmory while still maximising attack and HP; 140 speed EVS is also good to only outspeed Corviknight.
Mega Mawile can come in early game with pivoting move or double switching and almost kill anything to help teammate like Kartana or Ash Greninja get past their checks, though it must be careful on what it switches on; it can also clean games in the right conditions with Sucker Punch when helped by those same fast Pokemon. But it's only way to hit omnipresent faster treats is Sucker Punch, which can often be not enough before those treats are weakened. All of it's coverages moves don't have enough BP for it to OHKO anything, even when it's super effective, so it must try to KO switch-ins or weakened foes, meaning hazard support is great, with good setter such as Heatran, Ferrothorn or Chansey. Mega Mawile can also be used as a deadly attacker on Trick Room teams, OHKOing a surprising amount of the metagame and 2HKOing almost everything else.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Hyper Cutter allows you to 2HKO Landorus with Play Rough + Sucker Punch, but it's much more situational and removes you an useful ability. In the same spirit, Ice punch OHKO Landorus, but it doesn't do much outside of that. Focus Punch could replace Brick Break to hit Heatran, but even if it removes the possibility for it to put Stealth Rocks, it will be useless after reveal. Iron Head is an option but Fairy type is superior, and they don't go well with each other. A subsitute set with Focus Punch is possible, but it is too hard to set-up, especially when Focus Punch needs Mega Mawile behind a sub to be used.
=============
**Burn**: Will-O-Wisp from Pokemon such as Mew, Heatran and Sableye before mega, and Pokemon such as Toxapex and Mega Sableye that scare Mega Mawile from switching-in can't be touched by priority, cripple and shut down Mega Mawile
**Faster Pokemon**: Foes such as Heatran, Ash-Greninja or Mega Venusaur can all easily switch-in and threatens Mega Mawile with their respective coverages while tanking.
**Tapu Lele**: Psychic Terrain makes grounded opponent immune to Sucker Punch, and Tapu Lele pressure Mega Mawile with heavy damage.
