Also to note, Gravity Monkey won with Ampharos!
New Pokémon Name: Precipitar
Stats: 90/134/100/65/120/91 (100)
Typing: Rock/Dragon
Abilities: Sand Stream/Intimidate
Movepool Additions: (From Pupitar) Dragon Claw, Body Press
Niche: It's a wall, running Intimidate if you want higher defense, or Sand Stream if you want to go to Ubers and butcher some Calyrexes.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Tyranitar
New Pokémon Name: Stalagmitar
Stats: 100 / 100 / 95 / 134 / 120 / 51 (BST: 600)
Typing:
Abilities: Sandstream / Sturdy
Movepool Additions: (From Pupitar) Meteor Beam, Spikes, Power Gem, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Blizzard, Flamethrower
Niche: Stalagmitar operates very differently from its companion Tyranitar, as it's first MUCH bulkier specially, and has a much different typing, allowing it to check different things. It has access to Spikes as well. The biggest thing though is that Stalagmitar is specially offensive.
Ugh. 600 BST mons are so difficult to balance. Figures that this ends up being the first one I'm actually around for of these. At least doing this directly reminded me how screwed up the Pokédex entries for Megas tend to be:
Mega being Revolved: Tyranitar-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Alpeaterex ("Alpine" + "eater" + "rex")
Stats: 100 HP / 115 Atk / 100 Def / 104 SpA / 100 SpD / 81 Spe
Typing:/
Abilities: Sand Stream / Intimidate (hidden ability)
Movepool Additions: None
Niche (truncated): Meant to be a Rock Polish user that gets quite a few chances to set up between either ability due to its natural bulk even before Sandstorm or Intimidate, the latter of which it got due to the "face" on its belly and general presence.
All of the normal forms are physical attackers with low or average speed and decent bulk, imo the only way to make sidegrades and not upgrades its to make them decent special attackers with average to low speed, or make them bulky and give them recovery.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Tyranitar
New Pokémon Name: Scartar (Scary + Tar)
Stats: 90 HP / 80 Atk / 100 Def / 125 SpA / 120 SpD / 85 Spe
Typing: Dark/Rock
Abilities: Sand Stream / Intimidate
Movepool Additions: Same move pool as Tyranitar + Glare, Parting shot, Power Gem and Meteor beam.
Niche: A strong special wallbreaker with access to glare
Mega being Revolved: Mega Tyranitar
New Pokémon Name: Anarchitar ["Anarchy" + "-tar"]
Stats: 90 / 110 / 135 / 70 / 110 / 85
Typing: Rock / Fighting
Abilities: Sand Stream / Unnerve
Movepool: Tyranitar’s movepool +Close Combat, +Parting Shot, - Dark Pulse
Niche: STAB Body Press. While its defensive typing is much worse, its defensive stats are much better than Tyranitar and can pivot into Sand sweepers much easier. It can also pull of a Dragon Dance set much better with a better offensive typing and higher speed.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Salamence
New Pokémon Name: Crescengon (Crescent + Dragon)
Stats: 95 / 105 / 110 / 120 / 90 / 80 (BST: 600)
Typing:
Abilities: Intimidate / Aerialate
Movepool Additions: Same as Salamence
Niche: Salamence is primarily a physically leaning sweeper, so I decided that Crescengon should serve as a specially offensive tank. 95/110 bulk backed by Intimidate makes for a strong contender for best Flying wall. Unlike the other defensive flying types in the tier however, it has no secondary typing to gather up unique resistances, and instead relies on its beefy statline to hold out.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Salamence
New Pokémon Name: Moonace (Moon + Menace)
Stats: 95/100/85/100/85/135
Typing:
Abilities: Intimidate/Aerilate
Movepool Additions: Salamence's Movepool
Niche: An incredibly fast flyer that can hit hard with its aerilate STABs
Mega being Revolved: Salamence-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Cressalagon ("Crescent" + "salamander" + "dragon") [EDIT: Added the original second "s" back in since I finally remembered that pokémon names can be longer than 10 letters now.]
Stats: 100 HP / 85 Atk / 115 Def / 120 SpA / 90 SpD / 90 Spe
Typing:/
Abilities: Shell Armor / Aerilate (hidden ability)
Movepool Additions: Body Press, Echoed Voice, Fake Out [EDIT: Echoed Voice & Fake Out edited in to take more advance of Aerilate]
Niche (After EDIT): A specially-oriented Support mon that isn't as troubled by the usual Special Defense walls Chansey and Blissey since it has Body Press and, now, gets both Echoed Voice and the ability to make 101 Subs via 100 HP. It can also now pass slightly bigger Wishes than regular Salamence at the cost of benefitting far less from Dragon Dance. Finally, it would have the small distinction of being the bulkiest mon with Fake Out overall now, and it becomes an even better check to Rillaboom with Fake Out Aerilate and now 90 Spe if that is needed.
I feel like these are broken, but I'm unsure. HELP!
Mega being Revolved: Salamence
New Pokémon Name: Lunamence
Stats: 95+105+95+105+95+105=600
Typing: Dragon-Flying
Abilities: Aerilate & Intimidate (HA)
Movepool Additions: Salamence Movepool + Hyper Voice, Thrash, Strength
Niche: Hit & Run Pokemon. Explosion when you need a free switch. Also does tons of damage. Can be used Specially as well.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Salamence
New Pokémon Name: Gligon (Glide + Dragon)
Stats: 80 HP / 85 Atk / 90 Def / 125 SpA / 130 SpD / 90 Spe
Typing: Steel/Flying
Abilities: Aerilate/Limber
Movepool Additions: Same move pool as Salamence + Flash Cannon, Steel Beam, Whirlwind.
Niche: Compared to other steel/flying types this pokemon has better special bulk and special attack, can perform decently as either a special attacker or a special wall.
Mega being Revolved: Mega Salamence
New Pokémon Name: Starietta
Stats: 135 / 55 / 105 / 75 / 130 / 100
Typing:
Abilities: Aerilate, Overcoat
Movepool: Shelgon’s Movepool + Air Cutter, Air Slash, Boomburst, Defog, Disarming Voice, Dragon Tail, Dual Wingbeat, Echoed Voice, Fly, Giga Impact, Heal Bell, Hyper Beam, Lucky Chant, Mist, Ominous Wind, Perish Song, Refresh, Roost, Sing, Swift, Tailwind, U-Turn, Yawn
Niche: A fast wall or defensive pivot that can play as a cleric with Wish + Heal Bell. Overcoat eases its switch into mons like Tangrowth and Amoonguss, while Aerilate + Boomburst turns its base-75 SpA into something genuinely threatening, though its coverage options remain underwhelming. The typing isn’t awful but holds Starietta back, giving it a crippling ice weakness and forcing it to run boots.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Metagross
New Pokémon Name: Metaclaw
Stats: 80/120/115/85/95/110
Typing: Steel/Fighting
Abilities: Light Metal | Tough Claws (HA)
Movepool Additions: Close Combat, Cross Chop, Drain Punch, Superpower, Drill Run, Hone Claws

Not voting then ig lol
New Pokémon Name: Cometal
Stats: 75 / 100 / 110 / 95 / 85 / 135 (BST: 600)

Mega being Revolved: Mega Metagross
New Pokémon Name: Metamacho
Stats: 80 / 115 / 120 / 85 / 90 / 110 (BST: 600)
Typing:
Abilities: Clear Body / Tough Claws
Movepool Additions: (From Metang) Close Combat, Mach Punch, Bulk Up, Taunt, Body Press, Drain Punch, Superpower
Niche: Metamacho hits hard thanks to its stellar offensive typing and access to Tough Claws, further propelling it's damage output. Banded CC blows a chunk out of almost anything, and it has coverage to hit mons like Toxapex and Zapdos. Its solid bulk means it can tank hits decently as well.
Mega being Revolved: Metagross-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Metamalgam ("Metal" + "amalgam")
Stats: 95 HP / 105 Atk / 110 Def / 105 SpA / 130 SpD / 55 Spe
Typing:/
Abilities: Tough Claws / Analytic (hidden ability)
Movepool Additions: Psychic Terrain, Trick Room [EDIT: Psychic Terrain edited in]
Niche: The bulkiest and now once again slowest Analytic mon with good innate coverage with the back-up ability to be a decent Trick Room mon due to its lesser speed. [EDIT: Also now one of the bulkiest setters of Psychic Terrain and Trick Room, though the new addition of the former is admittedly unlikely to be used even with Metagross already getting access to Explosion.]
Mega being Revolved: Metagross
New Pokémon Name: Gigagross
Stats: 95+95+130+95+130+55=600
Typing: Steel-Psychic
Abilities: Light Metal & Tough Claws (HA)
Movepool Additions: Metagross Movepool + Recover, Seismic Toss, Night Shade
Niche: Defense Stall Boi. Can dish out hits, but not the main purpose of the pokemon.

New Pokémon Name: Garchop
Stats: 108 / 150 / 115 / 90 / 75 / 62 (BST: 600)
Typing:
Abilities: Sand Veil / Sand Force
Movepool Additions: (From Garchomp) -Crunch, +Sacred Sword
Niche: Sturdier and stronger chomp, at the expense of speed and rough skin.
New Pokémon Name: Garcrunch (Cuz I just realized that the garchomp line ends with nIBLE, BITE, and CHOMP)
Stats: 98/110/85/80/105/122 (600)
Typing: Dragon/Ground
Abilities: Sand Force / Strong Jaw
Movepool Additions: (From Gabite) Fire Fang, Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Psychic Fangs, Poison Fang, Crunch,Fishous Rend, Outrage

Mega being Revolved: Garchomp-Mega
New Pokémon Name: Garshear (...whatever word the "Gar" in Garchomp comes from since Bulbapedia isn't entirely sure + "shear")
Stats: 78 HP / 125 Atk / 85 Def / 112 SpA / 80 SpD / 120 Spe
Typing:/
Abilities: Sand Force / Hyper Cutter (hidden ability)
Movepool Additions: Air Cutter, Air Slash, Flash Cannon, Fly [EDIT: Flash Cannon has been edited in]
Niche: A glass cannon (relatively speaking) mon that can hit rather hard on either side of the spectrum and naturally revenge kill all other Dragons save for Dragapult (which it has to heavily compete against unfortunately) and Noivern (who sees no use in OU) as well as "safely" revenge kill Cinderace [previously non-transformed Greninja] and not be Intimidated (literally) by Landorus-T. [EDIT: Also now with Sand Force "back", it serve as the naturally fastest Sandstorm sweeper (since no one cares about Dugtrio without Arena Trap), though thankfully it gets no STABs on any of the Ground, Rock, or Steel attacks that Sand Force buffs like all other Sand Force mon.]
Mega being Revolved: Mega Garchomp
New Pokémon Name: Scawsert (Scythe + Jaw + Desert)
Stats: 90 HP / 100 Atk / 70 Def / 130 SpA / 109 SpD / 101 Spe
Typing: Dragon/Fighting
Abilities: Sand Force/Tough Claws
Movepool Additions: Same move pool as Garchomp + Focus Blast, Power Gem, Secret Sword, Close Combat.

Mega being Revolved: Mega Garchomp
New Pokémon Name: Garmastic ["Gar-" + "masticate"]
Stats: 90 / 145 / 100 / 95 / 80 / 90
Typing: Ground / Dragon
