So I haven't been paying attention, and Smogon still has the new megas listed as "Unreleased".

What tiers did all the new megas end up in?

Pic related. I'm particularly curious about Mega Beedrill's tier placement.

Pretty sure they'll all start as OU, the broken ones will be banned after a while and the ones with less than 3.4% usage will drop a tier. Rinse and repeat for each pokemon to end up in a tier.

Tiers are usage based, so it's impossible to tier new megas immediately. But expect a lot of fast bans in RU/NU

I didn't think Mega bee would be staying in NU or RU.
too frail for OU, but I can see it doing well in UU.

I haven't had the chance to play around with mega punny yet

Tiers are only logged every three months, so we won't have usage stats until December.

Mega Beedrill is definitely viable in OU, and fits well on VoltTurn teams. It's scary when played well, but it doesn't really have any defining features that make it stand out as a candidate for the Mega slot. It's fast and powerful, but also frail and weak to rocks.

It'll probably be BL, IMO. Not used enough to break OU, but too powerful for UU.

I think they're going to do a 1month usage based tier shift over December though, just to let the megas settle into a tier more quickly

MegaBee can work in OU, it just requires a lot of work to do well, just like Mega Diance and some people aren't willing to put that much support into a Mega when you can just go MegaLop and HJK everything or go MegaBro and wall or go Mega Latios and take full advantage of its DDance set.

Also MegaGross is great, even though the naysayers said it sucked, it doesn't.

I feel that Mega Diance and MegaBee will drop to UU and Mega Diance may get banned from UU, but I'm not too sure.

Smogon's tiers only update every 3 months in general.

They'll be BL at most, I can't imagine any mega dropping to UU without literally breaking the metagame.

GF makes a Mega for the mentally challenged and they still don't understand it.
