    Title says it all, but this doesn't necessarily mean straight to Uber (like Mawile was) but what's been jumping around over tiers.
    With ORAS coming out and how knock off works, which new megas do u think will literally 'jump the shark' and hit ubers and/or make a run for everyone's money 2 tiers above?
    Also, Soul Dew will be coming back so I am not too sure if that will be banned to ubers in spite of knock off's mechanics. However, with that being said it's essentially a Choice Specs and Assault Vest as an item without being technically 'encored' or 'taunted'.

    With the former, Mega Salamence I have a strong suspicion it will be the closest thing to a 'borderline' tier from OU to Uber, thanks to its strong uninvested bulk and aerialate (not to discount it's powered up stats), moreso if u decide to use a Sub-DD roost set.
    I doubt Pidgeot will be anything but Rarely Used. I mean, for Arceus's sake it was PU last gen! No Guard is a double-Edged sword.
    Just a couple thoughts thrown out there.

    Mega Mence would be Ubers if it would be used better. I don't think the Smogon sets really complement Mega Mence's power. I think Mega Metagross will be Ubers because well Tough Claws combined with that monstrous attack and bulk will let it sweep teams. I think Pidgeot will make it to UU. It's fast and has powerful special attack. But because of its movepool its a pretty predictable Pokémon.

    I think Megamance will be in between OU and Ubers for sure. With its "leaked" stats, it is extremely bulky and great offensively. I've seen people set up a substitute mance with dragon dance on showdown's ORAS OU, and sometimes a megamance setting up sub is instantly game.

    I'm not entirely sure about the others, unless Pidgeot gets more moves to suit its ability its not going to be a very high tear. Beedrill is certainly not going to stay in NU with its mega, but its just as much of a glass canon as Noivern or Greninja.

    Megagross I can certanly see being between OU and Ubers as well, due to a similar reason to megamance.

    Most of you know that I do not like to speak too soon. But I think that the presence of new megaevolutions, will be conditioned by the old and this will create a balanced environment that we see occasionally in competitive. (Mega Salamence and Mega Metagross , as others said, will probably Ubers but it is not too sure)

    There's potential that, despite Shell Armor (which IMHO isn't that good of an ability. Would also make sense if said poke got 'solid rock') Slowbro-mega will hit uber.
    I see it doing a number on the ubers environment, but with Arceus-Ghost, Giratina-O, Darkrai in general, and Zekrom in the game... yeah... that seems like a reach to me.
    Base 180 defense is really good on a mega (cloyster also has that stat), and being backed by an ability/item-unboosted 130 special attack; it's just too much of a gamble for that environment to just ban it from OU.

    Mega Metagross might be 'borderline zero', but i heavily doubt it... unless there's a 1-vote difference like Aegislash was.
