Since the OP got updated, might as well throw in one of the OR/AS Megas:

Mega Swampert:

-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Rain Dance
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 104 HP/252 Atk/152 Spe
Item: Swampertite

Mega Swampert is 3HKOed by Earthquake at best (it's only a 43% chance of a 2HKO in regular form), and 2HKOs Rhyperior with Waterfall. It can also set up Rain Dance to make Waterfall an OHKO.

This thread, was really really really cool for a few posts there. It's still pretty swanky, but for a hot second a few pokemon that don't appear on every other page or so were runnin' this. Anywho.

Qwilfish
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 252 Def, 252 Sp Atk *(sorry ><)
Modest Nature
-Hidden Power Fire
-Hydro Pump
-Sludge Wave
-Taunt

And hold onnnn, lemme do copy pastes from the damage calculator like all the cool kids on this one, because it's kinda funny.

252+ SpA Qwilfish Hidden Power Fire vs. 252 HP / 96 SpD Mega Scizor: 156-184 (45.3 - 53.4%) -- 34% chance to 2HKO


-1 164 Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Qwilfish: 33-39 (12.1 - 14.3%) -- possible 7HKO
-1 164 Atk Mega Scizor Superpower vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Qwilfish: 43-51 (15.8 - 18.8%) -- possible 6HKO
-1 164 Atk Mega Scizor U-turn vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Qwilfish: 38-45 (14 - 16.6%) -- possible 7HKO

lol

looking forward to what slays the qwilfish

Vileplume
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Chlorophyll
EV's: 252 HP, 224 Sp. Def, 28 Sp. Atk
Bold Nature
-Sludge Bomb
-Giga Drain
-Hidden Power Rock
-Sunny Day

Qwilfish's extra 252 EV isn't set up there so I did 3. This is the one for 252 Sp. Atk:

28 SpA Vileplume Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Qwilfish: 145-172 (53.5 - 63.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

252 HP:

28 SpA Vileplume Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Qwilfish: 145-172 (43.4 - 51.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery

252 Sp. Def:

28 SpA Vileplume Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Qwilfish: 102-121 (37.6 - 44.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery


Biggest problem for it would be getting off that Sunny Day to increase its speed since Qwilfish has Taunt (which shouldn't really be happening anyway since HP Fire gets a boost in damage if it has it). HP Fire does less damage than Sludge Wave but since Vileplume can't be poisoned it can easily take a few hits.

Going to point out that Flash Cannon and Dazzling Gleam both do the same amount of damage to Kyurem-b (44.5-52.6%).

The perfect opportunity to use this Mega here:

Mega Camerupt:

-Fire Blast
-Earth Power
-Ancient Power
-Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Modest
EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Cameruptite
Ability: Solid Rock

Obviously, Camerupt resists both of Klefki's STABs and can KO it with its own STABs:

252+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Klefki through Light Screen: 312-367 (98.1 - 115.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

252+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Klefki through Light Screen: 255-300 (80.1 - 94.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I think that is a set for the regular Camerupt since Mega Camerupt doesn't have Solid Rock as an ability.


Mantine
Item: Damp Rock
Ability: Swift Swim
EV's: 64 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 192 Spd
Modest Nature
-Rain Dance
-Hydro Pump
-Air Slash
-Ice Beam

252+ SpA Mantine Hydro Pump vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Solid Rock Camerupt: 543-642 (158.3 - 187.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

I know it's a basic spread for Mantine but it can switch into an ancient power and shrug it off.

anywho



Lapras
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EV's: 202 HP, 252 Sp Atk, 50 Sp Def
- Freeze Dry
- Hydro Pump

- Psychic

I didn't do the cool cid calc this time, but I'm fairly certain Lapras will tank Mantine, as well as annihilate with Freeze Dry.

Slaking
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Truant
EVs: 4HP, 252 Atk, 252 Sp. Def
Adamant Nature
- Giga Impact
- Aerial Ace
- Shadow Claw
- Earthquake

252+ Atk Slaking Giga Impact vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Lapras: 378-445 (98.4 - 115.8%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Assault Vest lets Slaking laugh at Hydro Pump and then run Lapras over with Giga Impact. I wanted to use Life Orb but Lapras would easily defeat Slaking. Same with Slake off but Truant is a real pain to try to make work. If it wasn't for base 100 speed and no EVs in Lapras' speed, I couldn't have used Slaking.

The Slaking will outspeed the Gurdurr, but the Gurdurr takes out the Slaking during the Truant turn.

It could even burn Gurdurr since it lacks Guts.

Mega Houndoom (so Mega-happy nowadays):

-Nasty Plot
-Dark Pulse
-Fire Blast
-Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Houndoominite
Ability: Flash Fire

As regular Houndoom, it can absorb Spiritomb's Will-o-Wisps with Flash Fire and power up Fire Blast to dangerous levels, then Mega Evolve and set up.

Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Stone Edge

252+ Atk Hariyama Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Houndoom: 444-524 (152.5 - 180%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 SpA Mega Houndoom Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Thick Fat Hariyama: 144-169 (29.2 - 34.3%) -- 3.6% chance to 3HKO

Mega Houndoom might get 1-2 hits off Hariyama but Close Combat would swamp it easily. Knock Off, Poison Jab, and Stone Edge is for the next Pokemon as they defeat its weaknesses (Psychic, Fairy, and Flying, respectively). Focus Sash = No OHKO. I can't wait to see the next Pokemon :3

I really like the OR/AS Megas

Mega Sableye:
+
-Calm Mind
-Dark Pulse
-Will-o-Wisp
-Recover
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Sablite
Ability: Prankster

Even regular Sableye is only 3HKOed by Hariyama's non-Fighting attacks. Mega Sableye takes this excellent bulk up to 11:

Regular Sableye calcs:

252+ Atk Hariyama Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 98-116 (32.2 - 38.1%) -- 96.4% chance to 3HKO

252+ Atk Hariyama Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 39-46 (12.8 - 15.1%) -- possibly the worst move ever

252+ Atk Hariyama Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 64-76 (21 - 25%) -- 0% chance to 4HKO

Mega Sableye calcs:

252+ Atk Hariyama Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 70-83 (23 - 27.3%) -- 59.7% chance to 4HKO

252+ Atk Hariyama Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 28-33 (9.2 - 10.8%) -- possibly the worst move ever

252+ Atk Hariyama Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 46-55 (15.1 - 18%) -- possible 6HKO

Also, Sableye can take advantage of Prankster Will-o-Wisps to burn Hariyama, then sit there and grab a Calm Mind boost or burn the next switch-in before Mega Evolving when needed.
