For the design, maybe remove the tail shell and replace it with a cape? It would look more like a king that way. Not sure what else to do with the crown to be honest. Maybe it uses the crown as an indicator for finding weaknesses, which could be an explaination for it's ability and speed. nah don't do that i think most of the defense coming from the shell that(disagree if you don't like this) can come off to use as a shield. removing that and giving it a cape just in my opinion makes it seem like it would be more offensive(unless the cape belongs to superman) Think about it like this: where did the giant shell come from?

Also, there is no Pokemon in the game (as far as I'm aware) that has a cape that goes with natural appearance, so comparing a cape to power is not too valid when it comes to a mega evolution. And honestly, even if that shell would make sense when looking at the ability, I still think it looks a bit silly.

But hey, maybe there's a reason that could be made up to explain it, like the mega stone, perhaps?
