>immeditately gets its base 145 speed upon mega, meaning only megazam, mega aero, and pheromosa are the only relevant mons that naturally outspeed it
>gets the unresisted poison/bug/dark/ground coverage, or it could run SD and rape everything in the ass

It may not be a candidate for S rank in OU, but holy shit did Beedrill come a long way from being the premier bug type shitmon to possibly one of the most feared megas in this gen. How will it fare in this gen once its mega stone gets released? What other unreleased megas will tear OU a new anus?
>Bidoof used Aqua Jet!
>>31383300
Only problem for it is no way to be obtained so far in Gen 7
>>31383300
So Poison Jab IS the optimal fourth move?
>>31383372
why wouldn't you run a poison move on it?
>>31383300
Why is Pheromosa relevant?
>>31383385
She is fast

>The only problem with it is that it doesn't exist
>>31383397
>>31383410
Yes, it will move before Beedrill, but can it actually do anything to Beedrill?
>>31383385
She's slightly less hard hitting but faster and more coverage
Fucking Mega Beedrill is always so much trouble in Battle Tree
>>31383428
At 40 base defense, what I can't she do to it?
>>31383300
why should I use this over pheromosa?
>>31383444
252 Atk Pheromosa High Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Beedrill-Mega: 112-132 (41.3 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
>>31383444
Beedrill may have wet newspaper-tier Defense but it resists both of Pheromosa's stabs (doubly so for HJK) and still has a 87% chance to OHKO with Poison Jab and -1 Attack from Lunge.
>>31383300
It won't be one of the most feared. Not with Mosa being the premier revenge killer this gen and its still middling STAB coverage. Lele also
might be banned before Beedrillite is released.
Slutbunny and Mega Diancie are going to benefit big time from the mega speed buff that happened. Pheromosa will be solid competition for the role of cleaner that Mega Lopunny excelled at, though.
>>31383493
You forgot Life Orb and didn't calc Ice Beam.
>>31383493
Calc an Ice Beam
>>31383534
Woops your right
252 Atk Life Orb Pheromosa High Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Beedrill-Mega: 146-172 (53.8 - 63.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

4 SpA Life Orb Pheromosa Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Beedrill-Mega: 133-157 (49 - 57.9%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO
Lando-T shits all over it.
Meanwhile, this guy's still useless.
But hey, at least we got fucking Work Up!

>Not with Mosa being the premier revenge killer this gen
But isn't that IKU-Z?
>>31383568
In very rare cases, Phero runs HP flying, for Buzzwole
>>31383419
Who are you quoting?
>>31383419
just inject it lol
>>31383626
Nah man. Koko discharge is a thing now.
>>31383700
I feel there are probably better choices for that than M-Sceptile with le momentum roach shitting all over everything.
>>31383505
Diancie actually got 3 buffs this gen:
-Mega's speed on the transformation turn modifies turn order
-Gets BUFFED Power Gem
-Diamond Storm is BUFFED to raise defense by 2 stages
Is it going to be S-Rank this gen? Or is the meta fully prepared for it?
>>31383749
Metagross is everywhere and outspeeds Diancie if Diancie is HP Fire. Speed creep kind of happened this gen so it's worth calcing what Top Kek and Pheromosa do to it.
Probably A- at absolute worst, it's got some nice new toys for sure.
>>31383300
>forgot mega speed buff happened
>now I don't have to run protect on it anymore once it gets released
FUCK YEAH
>>31383927
>outspeeds Diancie if Diancie is HP Fire
Does that really matter now with hyper training?
>>31384163
it doesnt, that anon forgot that
>>31384190
I did forget that, actually. My bad.
Pretty dope that it speed ties 110 now with HP Fire.
>>31383927
>Metagross is everywhere and outspeeds Diancie if Diancie is HP Fire
Not anymore as Hyper Training modifies all your IVs while not affecting the Hidden Power type.
>Top Kek and Pheromosa do to it
They lose to Rock Polish sets but I see what you mean.
>>31384260
Yeah Rock Polish is dope but getting the setup turn isn't always easy.
I'm getting pretty excited for Diancite now.
>>31383300
>What other unreleased megas will tear OU a new anus?
I know mega diancie is not going to shake things up (too much), but I had so much fun using it when it was available, and hope to have fun again when its megastone is up.
>Gets power gem, so now it can go full special with it, moonblast and psyshock/HP
>New mega mechanics make its 110 speed kick in turn one, so it doesn't need protect anymore and can run calm mind instead
>Bullet punch is no longer a problem with lele around
>Diancite not available
Dammit gamefreak
>>31384296
Diancie nicely benefits from Grassy and Psychic Terrain. Earthquake would do ticklish damage after a Diamond Storm boost and Psychic Terrain blocks Bullet Punch and it's Psychic moves to destroy Venusaur.
>>31384383
>and it's Psychic moves to destroy Venusaur.
whoops I forgot to put "boosts" after "and". My silly mistake...
