While I'm aware of the fact that you posted this before the game came out, Mega Gengar is now basically OP because of Shadow tag alone; won't be surprised if it's instantly banned.

Another set, and this time, it's Clawitzer. Man, this thing gets a bunch of pulse and aura moves to take advantage of Mega Launcher. It also has the Special Attack to abuse said moves. Its Speed is bad, though, but it makes up for it with Escavalier-level defenses:
-Surf/Hydro Pump
-Aura Sphere
-Dragon Pulse/Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 Spe
Item: Choice Specs

Clawitzer seems like an inferior megatoise tbh.
Really it wont be OU because of one pokemon? Thats silly to assume. Its like saying Blissey wont be ou because of fighting types. Also i like how Fire Blast still Ko's Scizor in rain with Stealth Rock up. :/
Togekiss has an awesome niche, it walls basically every single dragon type relatively easy, can wish and Heal Bell. That alone will make it be ou imo.
Iron Head and Tail are bad. Most dragons cant even find a slot for it, that and if you use a <boosting move>+ 3 attacks, you are either gonna be walled by faeries (if you dont use a steel move) or Skarm, Ferro and basically any steel depending on what coverage moves you drop. So far dragons are definitely not op.
I agree with this. Mega Gengar is overated (he still gets Pain Split though iirc). It falls short on alot of KO's (as you said its weaker than normal LO Gengar :/) its just like a faster Gothitelle tbh. Once you use it you will see what i mean. I HIGHLY doubt it will be banned, unless people whine like they did with Excadrill "baww u trap mah mono attacking snore curselax with megagar its uber D:".
Also Defog, overated change is overated. For those of you unaware, Defog now removes hazards on both sides of the field. People say its the death of stall. I say ill just use Gothitelle, Tickle Wobbuffet + Pursuiter or MegaGengar itself to remove your defogger. So please use a defogger, i like getting free kills. :) Secondly removing your own hazards seems kinda dumb, even with BO cos you will lose out on KO's.
On a more serious note the only time i can see it being useful is when you use like Moltres and Scyther on the same team and on sun and hail i guess?

Realized this a few days ago. Because Mega Blastoise can outright eliminate spinblockers with Dark Pulse, right?:
-Hydro Pump/Water Pulse/Scald
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse/Aura Sphere
-Rapid Spin
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Item: Blastoisenite

Yeah, people claiming stall is dead are overhyping Defog. It's availability is pretty iffy as well in terms of viable users. Although I'd argue bulky offense is the premier playstyle this generation on paper; hyper offense (lol BW OU) seems to have been nerfed heavily with weather/Fairy type and stall is more viable but still requires a good deal of skill due to new stuff like Defog.
Also Mega Lucario is tasty, +2 Adamant Close Combat takes a dump on Skamory. Even unboosted CC from an Adamant Lucario is doing 60%+ factoring in SR. 112 Speed outspeeds the Lati twins (although Jolly is needed); Adaptability BP is fricking cool too.
