Okay but take an Eevee with a standard physical attacker spread. Let’s assume that it gets to use its Z move, perhaps after switching into a Ghost type with only one attack.  It now has the following stats:

Attack: 458 (Hoopa Unbound and Regigigas’s are 460)
Defense: 272
Special Attack: 226
Special Defense: 332 (Xerneas’s is 324)
Speed: 418 (Mega Mewtwo Y’s is 416)

Let’s recall that Eevee also has access to Adaptability, as well as Return. This means that, following the use of this Z move, Eevee is conceivably able to OHKO common versions of the following Pokemon from full health:

Mega Charizard X and Y
Azumarill
Dragonite (if it wasn’t for Multiscale)
Garchomp
Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade
Mega Heracross
Keldeo
Latios and Mega Latios
Mega Lopuny
Mega Mewtwo Y
Hydreigon
Mega Pinsir
Mamoswine
Rayquaza

And the list goes on. It can outspeed all of these Pokemon as well.

The following Pokemon cen be reduced to less than 90% of their max HP (i.e., they retain 10% of their HP or less):

Mega Rayquaza
Kyurem White
Salamence
Gyarados and Mega Gyarados
Primal Kyogre
Mega Kangaskhan
Reshiram

And so on.

Suddenly makes a lot more sense.
