Okay, in-depth look:

That attack stat is pretty good for a Pokemon, but this is Mega Gallade. Gallade's superior Attack stat should be raised way more. The low Special Attack should stay low. 105 for a Mega is pretty pathetic. Nobody would want to use a special set, let alone even consider using up a Mega slot for Gallade. Honestly, it's a waste for all those points to go into a stat that was useless for the Pokemon to begin with. That also means get rid of Psycho Boost and Aura Sphere from the new moves. Back to Attack, 140 for Gallade isn't incredible. Choice Banded Gallade has at least 180 base Attack and Life Orbed Gallade has at least 160 + boosts from Swords Dance. People would prefer those sets than this, with Special Defense drop being even more discouraging.

The Special Defense drop, albeit minor, makes Gallade even worse at defending. It's going to get hard-hit or even KO'd by large threats such as Mega Gengar or Mega Alakazam. Instead, Special Defense should be increased, at least to a point where it's initial base stat doesn't become a joke.

I don't have much to say for the ability yet, but it'll come.
