    New to competitive Pokemon. I need help! (Zard X team)

    OK, thanks! I'll have to see what I can do with Rotom W. Now I just need to figure out who to get rid of to add in Mandibuzz and Rotom W... As far as Skarmory goes, that's why I'm running spikes. I wish she could get stealth rocks since it's usually a better move, but I'm trying to keep this...

    OK, I ran the numbers again. Jolteon can survive 2 aqua jets from Adamant Huge Power Azumarill (assuming it has not used Belly Drum and does not have Choice Band). 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Jolteon: 120-142 (44.2 - 52.3%) -- 21.5% chance to 2HKO With Choice Band...

    Well, from my limited experience, it seems Jolly is the safer bet (less likely you will be outsped, especially by Choice Scarf users), but Adamant will hit harder. I guess it's kind of like the old "flamethrower vs. fireblast" debate: reliability vs. power.

    Woah! Mandabuzz sounds awesome! That takes care of Smeargles, Baton Passers, entry hazards, and potentially Mega Evolutions (if it can Knock Off fast enough). That's insanely good! Yeah...that buzzard's going to be on my team now, haha! In fact, I might even get rid of Excadrill, then...

    There are better ways of saying it. *sigh* Society really has changed if that isn't even considered rude anymore. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. I mean no offense to anyone, it's just baffling to me.

    Thank you for your response! OK, I'll try adding Roost onto Charizard X. The added longevity could be quite useful. I'm assuming the EVs remain the same. That means I'll need someone else to take care of Heatran (and possibly Aegislash since earthquake was useful to get rid of the King's Shield...

    Thanks! I just tried out the bulkier set a bit. It seems to work, but I like my sweeper better. I'll try the sweeper set with roost like you suggested. It sounds much better suited for my team!

    There's no need to be rude. Seriously, what did I ever do to you? I introduce myself and you cuss at me? If you really want to know, I was busy working on something else at the time. Not everyone's lives allow them to do everything in order.

    Very interesting. I know from my battling that I can usually 2HKO Azumarill with earthquake with my Jolly Dragon Dance Charizard X with full speed and attack EVs. Have you checked to see how many 1HKOs and 2HKOs Charizard X misses with the bulky set? Afterall, the bulkier set is doing to last...

    So does anyone have any suggestions at all? I know my team has serious problems, but I'm not sure how to fix them. The main problems I see are that I lack a special attacker and I've been having problems with gale-wings Talonflame. Mega Kangashkan and Mega Lucario are also very troublesome...

    Interesting. So bukly Zard X is really that much better? Have you used both? I can see the obvious utility of Roost, though I'm surprised to hear that Will o Wisp is so good. I mean, Charizard X already has very high physical defenses. Wouldn't dragon dance or earthquake be more useful? The...

    Charizard team - My first team ever

    From what I've seen, Trevenant is usually better with the Harvest ability and a Sitrus Berry. Combine with will-o-wisp, leech seed, horn leech, immunity to fighting and normal, several useful resistances (such as ground and electric), and max special defense EVs, Trevenant is great for stalling...

    So statistically, does the bulkier Charizard X or the pure speed/attack Charizard X perform better? I recognize that a lot of that probably depends on what your team needs, but I'm trying to build a team around Charizard X. So this is a valid question. I imagine bulk yields longevity and more...

    Mementoer? I've never heard of that. I'm planning on using Mold Breaker Excadrill as my rapid spinner, though I hear defog is better. If you're interested in seeing my team, I have it up on the Rate my Team section. I was thinking Salamence since is has very high attack and 100 base speed (the...

    Hey, good to know it might actually work! Yeah, having both weak to rock is potentially problematic. Gyrados is at least neutral to dragon and immune to ground, so they only share one weakness. Maybe pairing up Charizard X with Haxorus? He may be weak to fairy, ice and dragon, but at least...
