WHICH IS THE STRONGEST NON LEGENDARY POKEMON NOW?

The strongest non-legendary Pokémon is Slaking, it has Truant for a reason.

If only it weren't for that. If this Pokémon does wind up getting some mega-evolution at some point in time, I'd really like it to get rid of that ability, if possible! I know it might not be the greatest idea, but they could slightly lower its stats, so that it doesn't turn out to be too overpowered.

I would say Gengar. Not because it's the best in offense or defense (which it definitely is not), but because it's the only Pokemon consistently being in OU (now that Starmie dropped). Every time the metagame changed, Gengar still managed to find it's place in OU and now with Mega Evolution introduced it even haunts Ubers to no end.

Wait, why did Starmie drop? What'd I miss?

The generation shift wasn't terribly kind to Starmie. Starmie liked being in the Rain, but with the weather nerf, Rain teams are kinda rare now. Not to mention that Greninja now outclasses it as a special attacker since it has Protean and higher Speed. The power creep that has been occurring since Gen 4 has also hurt it since even the bulky set with Recover folds to many of the newer powerful Pokemon. Especially Aegislash. Being weak to one of Aegislash's STABs and not having any supereffective moves against it sucks hard.

Mega-Evolution are suposed to make a Pokémon stronger and not weaker, doubt if Slaiking gets one his stats would decrease, but more decreased less (Mega-Alakazam has 90 stats increase, Mega-Slaking could get 30 or 20). And actualy I doubt it gets a Mega-evolution at all.
 
I had no idea weather got nerfed. I've been out of the competitive loop for a while now, I'm afraid of how bad I'd get wasted if I jumped back in today. LOL
 
Speed Boost Blaziken definitely comes to mind on this one. I'll have to give it a bit more thought later, but it was almost immediately banned from standard play this generation and it is capable of tearing through teams that don't have proper counters. There are several Pokemon like this in the Ubers tier, however, if we're excluding Legendaries, then SB Blaziken is a solid candidate.
 
I really don't know too much about that sort of thing but I think Protean Greninjas are up there, maybe not THEE strongest but perhaps one of :) This could be down to all the times I've been beaten by them competitively though lol xD Also Garchomp would be another one that comes to mind - I know they were popular before but now that they've a Mega kinda solidifies that opinion :)
