Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake / Pin Missle

Mega Heracross sets itself apart from the other Mega Evolutions and its base forme by serving as ridiculously powerful wallbreaker on Bug teams. Despite its lackluster Speed, its high Attack stat along with strong Fighting-type STAB and coverage options allow it to break through defensive cores found on common balanced types such as Water, Flying, Dark, Steel, and Normal with its wallbreaking power amplified by Swords Dance. After a Swords Dance boost, Mega Heracross is able to knock out Toxapex with Earthquake, while Mega Sableye and Mega Venusaur are taken down by Pin Missile. Mega Heracross appreciates Bug's Sticky Web setters as partners, namely Galvantula and Araquanid, which allow it to outspeed faster Pokemon such as Keldeo and Tapu Koko, as well as Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Buzzwole and Scizor to revenge kill faster Pokemon such as Mega Charizard Y and Mega Diancie. Volcarona is also an excellent partner for Mega Heracross, as they both form an offensive core that breaks down each other's checks.

-Fighting-type STAB, not Fightig (second sentence)
-Instead of making a whole sentence about Swords Dance, you can use it as an add on to the previous sentence (i.e.: ...Steel, and Normal, with its wallbreaking power amplified by Swords Dance [or something of the like]). I just think it's a tad redundant to mention how SD muscles past defensive cores easily when its mentioned (and implied) that Hera's STAB and coverage already does that.
-I suppose if you do the above, then perhaps go over EQ vs Pin Missle briefly, and their uses for different MU's
