Meh. No way to boost Special Attack, and Scizor's best moves (U-Turn, Bullet Punch, and Knock Off) are all weakened. If it's not pivoting or setting up (or defogging or healing or dropping hella priority), Scizor doesn't seem all that great, especially not taking up a mega slot.

I know, is quite bad LOLMeh. No way to boost Special Attack, and Scizor's best moves (U-Turn, Bullet Punch, and Knock Off) are all weakened.

On the defensive side of things, Mega Scizor traditionally capitalizes on its great typing by having the physical bulk to tank a lot of neutral hits (Fighting, Flying, Rock, and Ground all come to mind). With a specially defensive stat spread, however, I think there are a lot fewer things it can handle. It takes Water, Ghost, and Electric-type attacks better now, but it doesn't have the moves to actually hit those hard back in its Special form.
Incidentally, I'm similarly skeptical of Shiny Skarmory -- all that special bulk is just set to get ruined by the first random Thunderbolt or Fire Blast on your opponent's team. It can only wall special attackers that don't carry those, which means you still need to carry a switch-in for those... just like you would if it was regular Skarmory.
Sometimes things are just better suited to their standard physical/special inclination, you know? No need to be distracted by the (in this case, quite literal) shiny.
Since Zen Headbutt doesn't add much to Dragon/Ground coverage, you could also run Roost over it to beat Skarmories without Whirlwind or as the last mon, and just to let it function as a more reliable offensive check to things. Of course, then you can't touch Magnet Rise Klefki or Togekiss, but HP Fire seems bad here, so.This probably has been suggested already but...

Yeah you can't touch Skarmory, but it's the fastest Dragon Dancer bar Mega Salamence. Hits pretty hard too.
