Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I feel Mega-Metagross deserves S-rank at this point. There's literally no reason not to run this thing on offensive or balanced teams. It matches up so well against common threats like Lele, Magearna and Mega-Zam and using it basically gives you a tank, wallbreaker and fast offensive mon in 1...
''Sticky Web allows it to pressure teams which depend on fast scarfers like Lando-T or Garchomp to deal with Electrics.''
Lando-T isn't affected by sticky web.
Cool rain team I built utilizing lead Krook and Rocking Z Breloom to get past fat teams. Team is pretty good and fun to use. It got me up to the 1700's and got me reqs for the suspect test.

What about groundium Z? It allows you to ohko Toxapex and beat chansey much easier. Seems like a legitimate option for rain teams so Kingdra or Ludicolo can clean up.

I've been using physical Tapu Koko with Electrium Z and it's pretty amazing. It's a great lure for Chansey and Mega-Venu.

I don't see what Aegi has to do with the tapus being broken or not. The only tapu Aegi can actually deal with is Lele and specs shadow ball still hurts. Koko 2hko's it and even bulu can 2hko with wood hammer.
I really don't like baneful bunker on this mon. It has much better moves to run like haze, t-spikes, toxic or even poison jab. Besides, the most common attacks aimed at this mon will be earthquakes and thunderbolts.
Well the goal of this set is to break through slower defensive teams. You could use more speed to outspeed certain defensive mons or even go jolly. But even against offensive teams you almost always get a kill with Never-ending-Nightmare or possibly sweep with shadow sneak late game.
Thanks to the introduction of Z-moves Aegislash actually gets a super strong physical ghost move in Never-Ending-Nightmare (140 BP). This makes it much easier to break teams after a swords dance.

Agreed, Aegi is stupidly good but that doesn't mean it's broken. It's not a mon that easily sweeps through teams or is extremely difficult to take out.
