Okay, now that’s done. We have narrowed down the special-based Mega Evolutions to those who can tank more than one non-supereffective hit. This leaves us with Blastoise, Charizard Y, Mewtwo Y, Gardevoir, Altaria, Latias and Diancie. I will provide movesets for each of them and offer a brief explanation of how they work and how to get them.

Mega Blastoise

Blastoise@ BlastoisiteAbility: Rain Dish > Mega LauncherEVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 DefModest Nature- Dark Pulse- Hydro Pump- Dragon Pulse- Aura Sphere/Rapid Spin

Obtained:Given to you in Pokémon XY, Wonder Trade, GTSDetails:Mega Blastoise is a tank. Mega Launcher boosts the powe rof Pulse and Sphere moves. Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere and Draogon Pulse are coverage and boosted by Mega Launcher. Hydro Pump is chosen over Water Pulse due to more power. Aura Sphere can only be obtained via breeding, so Rapid Spin is a useful support move.

Mega Charizard Y

Charizard@ Charizardite YAbility: Blaze > DroughtEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 DefTimid Nature- SolarBeam- Air Slash- Protect- Heat Wave/Fire Blast

Obtained:See BlastoiseDetails:Mega Charizard Y is surprisingly bulky with 78/78/115 defences, able to survive most non-supereffective Special moves. SolarBeam is insta-charged in the Sun and eliminates Water- and Rock-types. Air Slash is STAB and Protect lets you guard against Stone Edges. Heat Wave and Fire Blast are boostedd by the Sun, but Heat Wave has better accuracy and Fire Blast has better power.

Mega Mewtwo Y

Mewtwo@ Mewtwonite YAbility: Pressure > InsomniaEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 SDefTimid Nature- Psystrike- Ice Beam- Focus Blast- Recover

Obtained:Capturable in Pokémon XY, GTSDetails:Mega Mewtwo Y has respectable bulk and wicked Sp. Attack. It is so strong that before the release of Mega Rayquaza, the only thing in Ubers that could hope to OHKO it was Yveltal’s Sucker Punch. Psystrike is STAB while Ice Beam and Focus Miss are coverage. Recover is to give Mewtwo a longer lifespan.

Mega Gardevoir

Gardevoir@ GardevoiriteAbility: Synchronize > PixilateEVs: 232 SpA / 24 Def / 252 SpeTimid/Modest Nature- Hyper Voice- Psyshock- Calm Mind- Focus Blast/Shadow Ball

Mega Altaria

Altaria@ AltarianiteAbility: Cloud Nine > PixilateEVs: 252 HP / 196 SpA / 60 SpeModest Nature- Hyper Voice- Fire Blast- Roost- Draco Meteor

Obtained:Route 114, Route 115, Sky PillarDetails:Mega Altaria is essentially a bulkier Mega Gardevoir. Hyper Voice is Pixilate STAB as well as Draco Meteor. Fire Blast helps her not to be walled by Steel-types and Roost is for a reliable 50% recovery.

Mega Latias

Latias@ LatiasiteAbility: LevitateEVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Calm Mind- Stored Power- Thunderbolt- Roost

Obtained:Captured in-gameDetails:Mega Latias is bulky as heck. It’s standard Calm Mind + Stored Power set can sweep teams if you get her set up. Stored Power gets stronger the more you use Calm Mind. Thunderbolt is coverage, and Roost is reliable recovery.

Mega Diancie

Diancie@ DianciteAbility: Clear Body > Magic BounceEVs: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 AtkNaive Nature- Earth Power- Diamond Storm- Moonblast- Hidden Power [Fire]/Psyshock

Obtained:Event, Wonder Trade (it’s happened before)Details:Mega Diancie is a huge step up from regular Diancie. It gets a fantastic ability in Magic Bounce and has two great STAB attacks. The only problem is its rarity. Diamond Storm and Moonblast are STAB, while Earth Power covers Steel-types. Hidden Power [Fire] and Psyshock are just two of the many coverage moves that can go in the final moveslot.

Mega Slowbro can be a good special attacker, and it can take pretty strong moves.A good moveset for it would be:Slack OffCalm MindScaldFlamethrower/Fire Blast

If you don’t want to use Slowbro, Mega Charizard Y can help you, just be sure to bring a rapid spinner or defogger. A good moveset would be:SolarbeamAir SlashFlamethrowerFocus Blast/ Hidden Power Ice
