Of the Sinnoh starters, which will get the following:
1. best-looking mega
2. worst-looking mega
3. best mega competitively
4. worst mega competitively
If it's just like gen 1 and gen 3 megas

Torterra

Empoleon

Empoleon doesn't need much to be good in competitive. Even something like more attack would make it good.
Actually the only one that could possibly be bad given +100 BST is Torterra.

Considering the other water-starter Megas I won't be surprised if they find a way to turn it shit

this minus gen1

Infernape's Mega will definitely be somewhere from UU to Ubers. I would say OU, with stall adding Latias and the like to not get swept by it, so Tyranitar + Mega Infernape becomes common.
Torterra gets walled by Grass and Bug and the Steel not weak to Ground, so I could see it assuming a more defensive role. I don't see it performing that well unless it gets some game changer ability.
Empoleon's Mega will probably be UU. It has no reliable recovery to be used as a wall worthy of a Mega slot (see Mega Aggron) and offensively it gets too easily walled by Water types. It'll probably go the Mega Blastoise route.

I expect Empoleon to gain bulk and lose Spe, but I could of course be totally wrong. I wouldn't mind seeing extra Atk so it could make use of SD, but then again I wouldn't want to dump too much of the 100 BST into it and have the stat spread end up being unfocused as a result. I think it'd be best for them to focus on raising SpA and bulk (and then giving it a great ability).
If they do keep Defiant, though, then I don't know what would be a good spread for it.

Make Mega Torterra and give it +50 Atk with Rock Head and Head Smash to go with its Wood Hammer and it'd be set. It'd be great with Grass/Rock typing, but I can't see them getting rid of Ground given what it is.
Infernape is fine where it is without a mega. How would they make one without it being completely retarded unlike Blaziken?
>>26648108
Let it keep defiant, give it +60 Attack -30 Sp. Atk, and give it access to Curse.
Best looking: empoleon, maybe torterra
Worst: infernape
Best competitively: probably infernape if they give it the blazekin treatment but I wish torterra
Worst competitively: torterra
>>26647854
>1. best-looking mega
Definitely torterra.
2. worst-looking mega
Empoleon.
3. best mega competitively
Infernape.
4. worst mega competitively
Empoleon.
In what world has torterra ever been better competitively that empoleon? Giving them megas will not change this
