I am trying to build a team around Mega Heracross and I need your help in what teammates are best for him. and in general building a team around him.
Plus I think its a great way to learn about this new Pokemon in the OU tier:

The set is:

Heracross @ Heracronite
Ability: Skill link (Moxie before Mega evolving)
Nature: Adamant
EV: 40 HP 252 ATK 216 SPE
~Close Combat
~Pin Missile
~Rock Blast
~Sword Dance/ Bullet Seed / Earthquake

Some of its Threats:
Flying types
Fairies
Statuses

I know I need something against Talonflame so I thought about S.Defensive Heatran.
I also considered AV Azumarill ( Unless I will go with Bullet Seed) but I can't use Mega Venusaur since the Mega slot is taken.
I am thinking about Scizor to check the Fairy types. There is the CB set but maybe an unorthodox Life Orb set will be good?
What other Pokemon do you think can fit in a Mega Heracross team?

Is Bullet Seed viable? It sounds great to OHKO Azumarill and Rotom-W on the switch but I don't know if its good enough to pass on SD.
The role of Heracross on my team is to be a wallbreaker or in general offensive Heracross.
 
For something on the actual heracross, go with either earthquake or SD. If you think hera can hang in there's for a couple turns, go with SD. If not, earthquake.

EDIT: shouldn't this be in the rate my team section?
 
With Aegislash removed, Earthquake is kinda redundant right now. Bullet Seed is a good option if you don't want to use up slots for Rotom and Azumarill countering. Swords Dance is useful provided you can find a way to make up for Heracross' terrible 75 Speed. I've seen Sticky Web used with Mega Heracross, but I know it's not the most viable strategy.
 
So if I am going with sword dance I will probably need something like Scolipede Speed boost passing.. Not my kind of play so I guess I will go with Bullet seed as I think it is my best option and its really nice to not need a slot for something to deal with Azumarill. I am thinking of adding a duel screener like Espeon that will help me take hits because of its bad speed but I don't know if thats necessary.
