zop everyone this is my first official RMT and I brought you guys some mega burd balance. The main kinda idea of this team was to build around work up refresh pidgeot because I was yet to try it and it really appealed to me. None the less, lets begin.
We start off with pidgeot as the center point of the team. I decided on using work up pidgeot as I found myself in the past not using heat wave very often so I might as well run work to blast through walls. And indeed it can blast through those walls like florges, umby, and vaporeon. And there are occasions where you dont even need the work up boost sometimes as spamming its mono stab in hurricane can force a sack on offense. Pidge has been constantly being more and more recognized as a really big threat in the tier and it's a top 3 mega for sure.

Since this is a more balanced team I decided to start my defensive core off with arguably the best cleric in the tier in florges. Florges's job is very simple, pass wishes into team members check dragons fighting types, and stronk dark types and make sure my team team does not suffer from status. Florges does this job very well not too much else to say about it. These are kinda the custom evs I run, I dont run 24 calm I just run 4 calm as I usually prefer a bit more physical bulk whenever I run florges. threats like shao hydreion and mienshao are not as troubling to me with florg around.

For the next member of the core we have tentacruel. Tenta helps pidgeot in the sense that it can spread toxic spikes to make pidge dent teams easier and it spins away rocks for it as well. It can also act as an OK fire check as florges doesn't like taking on the likes of darm and entei. It can spread scald burns quite nicely and I have haze on it as kind of a last resort for bulky set up sweepers like lax and cress. My ev spread is a little wacky on it as I wanted to lean towards a more defensive variant to help with fire spam. Im a little on the fence about haze but not sure what to put.

To round out the core we have bronzong. Bronzong really helped this core out as it was the steel type rocker that doesn't get beat by nidoqueen I was looking for. the first two members got annihilated by nidoqueen and with this having levitate queen for the most part cant touch it as nobody really runs fire blast on queen. It got up rocks which again helps pidge dent teams along with those t spikes. It can spread toxic and pop fast threats with a gyro if needed or toxic them. Zong's evs are subject to change as I might put more into special defense to help out with opposing pidgeots as even without as much defense I can still check aero but im not sure yet.

I needed another good wallbreaker along with pidgeot as suicune could blow through my team if it could set up before I could hit it with pidgeot and relying on tenta to be there to haze it isnt my idea of a good time. So I slapped on this monster as seed flare can take care of cune and with its high chance of drops I can even beat other bulky set up mons like cress and snorlax who dont like taking seed flares when they have their spD lowered. Im running psycic over gleam because crobat can u turn on my team all day long so if I can catch it on the switch and take it out or force it to roost ill be a happy camper.

To round the team out I wanted a scarfer that could help clean up late game and just hit hard in general. Shao fit this bill well as it is one of the faster scarfers in the tier and can ohko a lot of offensive threats. If the opposing team doesnt have a resist watch out O.o. Shao really benefits from pidge denting teams as well making its clean up easier. It can flip flop as well as pidgeot can benefits from shaos dents as well.

Threatlist:
Feraligatr: This thing can really dent my team if It can DD succesfully as I am usually forced to sack something so I can revenge it with shao. I've stared at teambuilder for hours trying to figure out a way to check this thing without defeating the teams purpose and idk if there is a way tbh.
Entei/darm: I can wish pass into it but tentacruel isnt as good of a fire spam check as you think. It takes in the 30's of hits from entei and darm.
Replays: I could only scrounge up one and tenta and zong weren't even on the squad yet but ill be sure to find more.
