So is there any reason NOT to Mega-Evolve a Pokemon on the very first turn it's out?

Stat boosts, I guess.
Or maybe the surprise factor.

I've seen a lot of people use Bulk Up on Pinsir before mega-evolving.

also, nice picture

Certain situations like Kangaskhans scrappy ability or Pinsirs moxie if you can pull it off.

Bluffing which is the Mega, in case you have two Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution.

Some pokemon like heracross, garchomp, and ampharos are faster before they mega evolve o if you think you'll need that speed it's better to stay regular.

If Charizard is out and can KO a frailmon without Megavolving, then that's a better idea than megavolving right away and wasting a turn of sun.

I only have my Gyarados Mega-Evolve in order to kill Rotom-W. I Dragon Dance on the turn they switch to it, then Mega for Mold Breaker to SE Earthquake it.

MegaGyara: See the weakness Gyara and emga gyara have. Normal Gyarados resist some of the most common meg'as weakness.
MegaPinsir: Mold Breaker EQ just to fuck around, or Moxie KO to get a free +1 (same applies to Heracross)
M-Char-Y: you don't need to waster a turn of sun sometimes

Manectric/houndoom: Abilities .
M-Mom: Scrappy when you're walled by a ghost (not running crunch ).

That's all i could think of....

Gengar's Levitate. If one predicts a Mega evolution, as they should, they'd EQ. If you stay in as normal Gengar on a choiced EQ you can really wreck some shit as they scramble to switch.

OP here, thanks for the tips! I'm still on my first play through of X since I got bored with it pretty quickly after launch and I just got the ability to Mega Evolve so I thought I'd ask.

I used Mega Abomasnow at VGC, there are quite a few times you'll want to stay non-mega first turn with that, usually using Protect turn 1.. Sometimes so that you can reset the weather when you know your opponent will change it, sometimes because Abomasnow is faster than Mega Abomasnow.

Mega Garchomp is an excellent wallbreaker, but its speed sucked. You can wait mega evolving Garchomp to utilize its high speed and take advantage of rough skin until common threat that can outspeed Garchomp is killed off.

Also you can bluff since Garchomp normally uses Choice Scarf

I will sometimes wait a turn or two with Amphabulous to bait out any Fairy/Dragon moves heading its way. Doesn't always pan out, but I enjoy the minor head games.

>Garchomp/Heracross for speed
You know Garchomp is still rocking the 102 speed the turn it megas right?
Turn order is decided before any actions occur, which is why banette can't really use Prankster

Charizard. If you are facing fairy types, it may be a better idea to keep it in its normal form. Once the fairies are cleared and you need it, mega evolve into Charizard-X.

I can't be the only person who uses Charizard-X this way.

You mean get 1 or 2 moxies right?
Otherwise you can just use 'bulk up' the same turn you mega evolve

We should see some with like that with the new megas.

Abuse Prankster with Sableye then mega evolve when it's ready to wall or bounce something.

Pivot with Regenerator Slowbro then mega evolve to set up and clean up
