With the coming of ORAS, many new mega evolutions have been unveiled. The purpose of this thread is to discuss how they will impact various metagames! What we're looking for it sets, mainly, so we can compile a bunch of sets so that once ORAS is out and we're actually able to play with them, we have a thread to look through and find sets to test how they affect various metagames. Please, post sets and descriptions! Feel free to comment on anyone else's sets as well, if you think they can be improved.
Here's an example of a good post:

Here's an example of a good post:
and here's an example of a bad post:STABmons - Mega Beedrill
Beedrill @ Beedrillite
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Gunk Shot
- Drill Run
- Coil
Beedrill will be a new and popular threat when it is released, with a high Speed stat backed by a high Attack stat, it sure will have to be looked out for. Adaptability increases the power of Beedrill's already high STAB moves and enables it to carve out a new niche. Coil meshes well with both Megahorn and Gunk Shot thanks to their accuracy, now being boosted by Coil. Drill Run allows Beedrill to get around Steel-types, which otherwise wall it. Coil also has an added benefit of enabling Beedrill to better handle priority from the likes of Diggersby. A unique thing about Mega Beedrill is that it's actually quite good at countering Mega Altaria as well, with it only having a 2% chance to 2HKO with Boomburst. Meanwhile, Gunk Shot easily OHKOes in return. A few things must be accounted for when using Beedrill. Firstly, its bad stats prior to mega evolving really hold it down, so a slow U-turn or Volt Switch to bring it on something slower than it that it threatens is a wise idea. Secondly, Skarmory walls this to hell and back, making Magnezone a good choice for a partner. Finally, Stealth Rock could become a problem, but running a Defog or Rapid Spin user is a good way to mitigate this problem. Looking to be quite the threat!
Basically: don't shitpost.Mega beedrill is cool! in STABmons it can run attack order to destroy all the things xD. megahorn is brought up, but it's accuracy is bad and it's not always hitting. i could run coil, but it's not a bulky pokemon and thus shouldn't boost defense, so i run knock off instead. ALSO it could try running a choice specs set LOL with that massive 15 spa xD :p. hmm, what youg uys hting?? will it be banned?? i want it banned, let's ban it. banHAMMER lolololol xD!
