Originally built 2 years ago, this team is built around the bulky Mega Gallade set that has been newly discovered in ORAS. The EVs are just enough to 2HKO Clefable with +2 Psycho Cut, with the rest put in bulk to make Mega Gallade as hard to revenge kill or eliminate as possible. Shadow Sneak is used over Knock Off for faster threats such as Mega Alakazam or a weakened Talonflame. Serperior is slightly bulky with lum berry for opposing water and grass types, with Synthesis to keep it healthy and glare to provide support for the team. Crawdaunt provides what Mega Gallade lacks - breaking very bulky teams. Mega Gallade's walls include bulky psychic types such as Cresselia and Slowbro, and Crawdaunt is a fantastic partner that can abuse those, while also providing strong priority for Pokemon such as Volcarona. Swords Dance Excadrill is another tool to break slower teams, and max speed is used to outspeed Mega Medicham and other strong threats. Clefable is max defense for Weavile and Mega Lopunny. Encore is used to prevent Volcarona setting up on it and other threats like Gliscor, which can give the team a hard time, especially Substitute + Quiver Dance Volcarona. It is also nice to encore Excadrill into Rapid Spin on rocky helmet. Static Zapdos further helps spreading paralysis, and with a Calm nature helps the team switch into powerful special attackers such as Mega Alakazam if rocks are not up. Crunch on Crawdaunt allows the team a better matchup vs. Mega Venusaur
