Charizard @ Choice Specs / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Solar Power
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Scorching Sands
- Weather Ball
- Solar Beam / Roost
Charizard's immense power under sun thanks to Solar Power grants it a small niche in RU. Its mediocre bulk alongside a horrible quadruple weakness to Stealth Rock, and being constantly chipped by Solar Power means that its longevity is terrible, causing it to be limited in its switches without support. It also has to face competition with Heliolisk, which isn't limited by SR, doesn't stack weaknesses with the mandatory Torkarol or Ninetales, and has a better speed tier. Overheat is Chairzaird's main move as it either OHKO's or 2HKO's anything that it isn't immune to it. Schorching Sands is a good coverage move for Fire and Rock-types such as Chandelure, Incineroar, Stakataka, and Dianice. Weather Ball is a alternative Fire-type attack that doesn't drop its special attack and is stronger than Flamethrower under sun. And you have the choice of either Solar Beam on the Choice Specs for Water-types such as Seismetoad and Milotic, and Roost on the Heavy-Duty Boots set to make sure it can stick around longer.
A Drought setter in Torkorol and Ninetals is mandatory to provide the sun needed. Shiftry works well with Charzaird since it pressures the aftermentioned Water- and Rock-types in the case that its locked in a Fire-type move, while Charzaird checks Bug and Fire types such as Heracross, Durant, Incineroar, and Salazzle. Darmanitan and Entei provide breaking support, forming a somewhat unwallabe offensive core. Hazerd ControlXatu is able to bounce back rocks, and is able to bring in Charizard with Teleport. Healing Wish Gardevoir allows a battered Charzaird to have a second chance at wallbreaking, while also activating before SR, and in turn, Charzaird melts the Steel-types that wall it such as Metagross and Doublade.
