I don't know but it's probably a key item like bikes roller blades and maps

When you send out the Pokemon holding the Mega Stone, it'll Mega Evolve then and there. If you withdraw it, it will not revert back to normal and will stay as it's Mega Evolution. After the battle is completely finished and you return to the overworld, the Pokemon then reverts back to it's normal self and the Mega Stone stays equipped to the Pokemon (so it'll Mega Evolve again when it's sent out again).

I have a basic understanding of competitive "Pokes". They could ban them like Wobbafet or Wynaut or something. It can't be 240 damage.

Well, I guess that's pretty powerful, but a stab technician boosted Mach Punch from Breloom would completely waste MegaLucario; as it does on normal Lucario, and Breloom is a common threat at the moment so I don't think MegaLucario would be a huge problem (bar the possible +2 E-speed)... Even Sableye or Whimsicott could mess it up with a priority T-wave + Subleech or Will-o-wisp, they are slightly less common though.
MegaBlaziken may be just as broken as Blaziken is now (with the right conditions I.e Sun..) with the same Speed Boost, double stab tactic, or maybe an all out physical set with Protect for staking out moves and obviously getting that +1 speed in, but who knows what new threats are in stock for gen 6. We may see a new bulkemon who completely walls everything (but saying that, it would probably get banned lol.)
Imagine they introduced electro-spikes, that would be cool, like electric types could suck em up like how poison types suck up toxic spikes and they could paralyze a poke upon entry. (They would also probably get banned lol.)
Anyway, I can't wait to get myself a Noivern and Sylveon and I also wanna try out the new super training facility, should be fun aha. (Dragon slayer MegaMawile ftw)
Just for the record I'm going for X version.

Cant switch into anything from lucario and in most scenarios Lucario is either going to have a +2 boost from swords dance which will 1hit KO even the bulkiest breloom sets. Or breloom will be soo weaken late in the game that Mega Lucario can just come in and tag it first with extreme speed. Blazekin has to be careful though because with that boost in attack power I foresee a lot of agility based lucario sets. 1 agility means Blazekin needs 3 turns to outspeed a jolly Lucario and on the turn Blazekin uses protect Lucario could very well go for the agility which means Lucario will KO Blazekin. And Blazekin doesn't get a double stab unless its fire moves under the Sun. And Blazekin isn't broken, he has many counters in OU. Because you need protect to get spped boost up then you aoutmatically lose coverage. Then if you want to use swords dance that only leaves you a 2 attack move slots. It also doesn't help that Blazekin's best fighting move is High Jump Kick. switch jellient in and your gonna either crash and KO yourself with High Jump Kick or have a fire move on hand which also won't do much. Then Gyarados can come in on you, gliscor, Hippodown, the list is huge. Lucario can just run an all attack set and still have enough power to cause serious damage with close combat. And even if you sacrifice a slot for SD or agility you can still hit many of your threats super effectively or really hurt them just from the sheer damage of that darn close combat.That's why you use death fodder and then switch to Breloom, its only logical. Why in the world would you dry switch a Breloom into a lucario? I understand your other points though, nonetheless Sableye would be a very dependent counter, because the only thing Lucario could outspeed with would be E-speed and obviously that doesn't effect Sableye, in some scenarios I see Bullet Punch but then the Lucario doesn't tend to carry E-speed, so Breloom could clean up.
Mawile still needs to watch out for garchomp. Its also important to note that most Dragons have access to super effective fire, fighting, and ground moves. And with Mawile being so darn slow there's no way it is countering much.

I play Pokemon like a 7 year old would: use the pokemon you like, not necessarily the competitive ones. I won't battle with the ones that mega evolve, I'll use the ones that I like/look cool. Since I already use Ampharos, that might be the only pokemon I mega evolve and use. Competitive pokemon don't matter at all to me. I'm fine without them and have won multiple pokemon tournaments without useng all broken meta pokemon. Btw, the only reason I use Metagross is because it looks cool. I've beaten tons of competitive trainers with my team that was put together by my 7 year old self, so I don't need to rely on Mega evolutions. EV training is MY mega stone XD
It doesnt matter how strong the pokemon is, but how hard you've worked to train it.

By double stab on Blaziken I meant the Hi Jump Kick + Flare Blitz, and Blaziken is- or should I say was broken in OU which is why it got banned. There is only one true counter to a common Blaziken set (in OU) and that is Flash Fire Chandelure because neither Flare Blitz or Hi jump kick could scratch it, although some people carry Shadow Claw, which is weird, because you have to sacrifice protect. Everything else take immense damage under the sun.
E.G 252 Atk Life Orb Blaziken Flare Blitz vs. 248 HP / 216+ Def Jellicent in sun: 170-200 (42.18 - 49.62%) -- 31.25% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
With plus 2 attack (Which is commom) instead and Stealth Rock damage, there's a 75% chance to OHKO. To be honest though, any good player would be able to predict a simple switch in such as a Jellicent, if the opponent themselves feared a Hi-jump-kick.
Oh and about Mawile, I was joking aha, it would only be good for Outrage switch ins, or Calm Mind Latias sets as they mostly carry just dragon pulse for damage.
There should be another thread for all this competitive talk, it's fun and I don't wanna spam the X and Y thread.
Anyway, I would like to battle you now! On like Pokemon Online or Showdown if you know what they are? But not today or tomorrow even, ill be busy. So if you wanna battle PM me. You seem like a great player!
