It only learns Bite and Crunch by level, which pretty much any Pokemon with teeth can learn; it doesn't indicate a Dark-type. The argument for Luxray being Dark-type mostly comes from its black fur; if it didn't have black fur I doubt anyone would be suggesting it to become a Dark-type.
Being fair to Golurk, Dark and Ice types that cannot OHKO it are not going to be able to do much, Iron Fist Drain Punch would probably either deal massive damage or flat-out OHKO while also recovering any lost health. Golurk's also as much of a threat to Ghosts as they are to it.
I do wish it could learn Shadow Sneak though if only so it could have some sort of priority.
I had a (completely stupid) idea regarding that; namely, what if Mega Golurk could get a new Ability? The idea I had: Rocket Boost- gives priority to physical moves. However, Golurk can only get this new Ability if he has Klutz, which would turn that from a liability into something a lot more viable. (Hey, the big guy would just hold the Mega Stone. He doesn't actively use it.)
My only problem is that this might render the big guy broken or OP and get him banned.
I'd still use the slag outta him, though.

Wait, how would that work? It would be impossible to have both that and Klutz at the same time. Unless I'm missing something.
But if Mega Golurk could get a new ability that could give it a much needed boost... I guess I'll wait until Gen VII to see what happens =P

I think Golurk needs a decent Ghost type STAB before it gets a Mega. Iron Fist Shadow Punch and Phantom Force are usable in game, but they aren't quite enough for it to leave much of a competitive impact.

Yeah, I agree, it wouldn't make an awful lot of sense on Luxray as in its current form. However, there have been larger concept shifts in other megas, so it's definitely a possibility.
Nah, you see its expression? It's damn angry.
Well, it can see through walls. To me that seems like a mildly terrifying ability that could be expanded upon. I too always kind of wished it was a Dark-type, if only to help it stand out from comparable Electric-types.It only learns Bite and Crunch by level, which pretty much any Pokemon with teeth can learn; it doesn't indicate a Dark-type.

It's definitely possible, but like with Yadon, it just seems like people are just looking at the black fur and that's there reason for it. At least with examples like Gyarados and Charizard, there was some other traits to go along with that change (Gyarados is extremely violent and brutal and Charizard's a stereotypical dragon to its core), Luxray is just dark colored and that's it.
Regardless, that doesn't mean it won't happen, it always just seemed a bit out of place to me.
There will not be an ability that gives priority on attacking moves. And if there was, they wouldn't give it to Golurk, which is the definition of a slow attacker with 50 speed and 443 in other stats. It would make much more sense on Mega-Ninjask or something. Priority earthquake from a respectable base 120+ attack sounds... well not broken since 120 attack isn't what it once was, but still pretty scary.
Honestly, I'd say by far the most likely route for them to take with Golurk is to do an Abomasnow. Slow M-Golurk down and beef up his defenses and attack considerably. Of course, we all saw how that went, but I do think it's the most likely possibility. For an ability, I'd say it's very likely they'll keep it at Iron Fist. It's a very good ability already and they've given/kept analogous abilities in other megas (Mega Launcher Blastoise, Strong Jaw Sharpedo, Technician Scizor, Skill Link Heracross). Certainly, megas have received worse abilities (I'm still seething about Inner Focus...)
Gale Wings.
Do you think it's possible GF's gonna do another "x and y" split mega evolution in the future, like Mewtwo and Charizard have? If so, which Pokemon do you think would be a good candidate for 2 Megas?

It just seems to fit him so well (black fur, expression)
