Mega Altaria fell from Cloud Nine a while ago, but has started to rise back up as a solid support option for Dragon teams. This EV spread ensures that Mega Altaria is as physically bulky as possible, while also outspeeding foes such as Jolly Breloom and Adamant Dragonite. Body Slam is its only offensive option, and has the added bonus of potentially paralyzing the foe. Defog removes hazards for teammates such as Kyurem-B, while Heal Bell restores the team's status conditions and Roost extends Mega Altaria's lifespan. Consider pairing Mega Altaria with Kommo-o and Kyurem-B; the former is an incredible setup sweeper that can check Steel- and Normal-types such as Heatran and Porygon2 through its Fighting-type STAB moves, while the latter uses its incredible coverage options in Ice Beam, Fusion Bolt, and Earth Power to check defensive threats in Mega Venusaur, Toxapex, and Celesteela.

Overall really solid and a fun read just would mention Mega Altaria's good bulk somewhere. Other minor issue is with ordering of examples for Kyurem-B moves so I'd look at that and make sure moves are in right order.

This EV spread ensures that Mega Altaria is as physically bulky as possible, while also having the EVs to outspeeding foes such as Jolly Breloom and Adamant Dragonite. Body Slam is its only offensive option, and has the added bonus of potentially paralyzing the foe. Defog is used to removes hazards for teammates such as Kyurem-B, while Heal Bell is utilized to restores the team's status conditions(RC) and Roost is used to extends Mega Altaria's lifespan. Consider pairing Mega Altaria with Kommo-o and Kyurem-B; the former is an incredible setup sweeper that can check Steel- and Normal-types such as Heatran and Porygon2 through its Fighting-type STAB moves, while the latter uses its incredible coverage options in Ice Beam, Fusion Bolt,(AC) and Earth Power to check defensive threats in such as Mega Venusaur, Toxapex,(AC) and Celesteela.
