ok cool whats every ones ideas of a mixed mega sceptile i tried fully physical one but i felt like it was a waste of such a big sp.atk stat so i tired a set with leaf storm, outrage ,drain punch and EQ witch worked out a little better i mean don't get me wrong it was power i got to 1400 on the showdown ladder with it,but i feel like its still missing something any ideas?

I was having the same problem. It has better Special Attack but, it has more physical moves. Here is what I was thinking:
Sceptile @ Mega Stone with Unburden 252Spa 252Spe 4Hp
Giga Drain
Leaf Storm
Dragon pulse/Draco Meter?
Focus Blast

Would this work? If not I was going to try the same set with a White Herb.

I think that It could be well used with "Mega" Kyogre and its cause rain ability. If these two came out in a Double team together it would be fierce! Swampert would have about 150% Speed stat!

Sorry, I'm not Nova, but....

Since it's Primal Kyogre, you're only going to be able to use that in Ubers Doubles, a metagame that really isn't often played. The pairing is nice, but you're better off using a standard Politoed. That way, it's Doubles/VGC legal too :)

New Question what are your new favorite megas? Which ones do you think would be most useful in competitive battling? Please post some idea movesets you think would be good so we can either help improve it to be the best it can be or so that other members could possibly use this.

Mega Question
Has anyone used Mega Lopunny? I just Battled one and it seemed like it had Promise. i wanted to see different thoughts about it. I was thinking about this set:
Mega Lopunny Normal/Fighting
Ability: Scappy
Jolly Nature 252Attack 252Speed 6Hp
High Jump Kick
Ice Punch
Bounce
Return

i think mega lopunny is a great mega with how fast it is but i have never seen someone use bounce on it before bounce would be a great coverage move

Get rid of Bounce IMO, it's not particularly good. You spend a turn charging, allowing them to make a good to switch to get momentum up or set up, and for pretty lackluster power. The rest of the set is pretty good though.
