Charizard Y team

[dualityim]

Hey everyone,

New to pokemon battling and wanted your thoughts on my team. Any suggestions are appreciated! (This is for OU)

Mega Charizard Y
Ability: Drought
Item: Charizardite Y
Nature: Modest
EV's: 4 hp, 252 SAtk, 252 Spd
Moves:
-Heat Wave
-Focus Blast
-Solar Beam
-Roost

I actually prefer mega charizard Y to the X version since fairy types are now quite popular. Heat Wave instead of Fire Blast for accuracy. Roost instead of HP ice really cause of stealth rock.

Cloyster
Ability: Skill Link
Item: Lum Berry
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 Atk, 4 SAtk, 252 Spe
Moves:
-Icicle spear
-Rock blast
-Shell smash
-Hydro pump

Gimmicky, but effective. Lum berry - works well to counter smeargle, non-ferrothorn entries

Dragonite
Ability: Multiscale
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 4 hp, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Moves:
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Fire Punch
-Thunder Punch

Favorite dragon by far, though goodra's pretty good too (but looks nasty). Thunder punch for azumarill. Tried Hydreiggon, but it got nerfed this gen.

Gliscor
Ability: Poison Heal
Item: toxic orb
Nature: Impish (+Def, -SAtk)
EV's: 244 hp, 40 Def, 224 Spe
Moves:
-Ice Fang
-Toxic
-Protect
-Earthquake

No substitute, but this works well to counter another gliscor and multiple steel/dragon hazards, including excadrill. Amazing physical wall.

Magnezone
Ability: Analytic
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EV's: 172 HP, 252 SAtk, 84 Spe
Moves:
-HP Fire
-Flash Cannon
-Volt Switch
-Thunderbolt

Fairy/Gyrados counter. Bulky enough to take a flare blitz from talonflame at full hp and counter.

Clefable
Ability: Magic Guard
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EV's: 4 HP, 252 SAtk, 252 Spe
Moves:
-Thunderbolt
-Fire Blast
-Moonblast
-Moonlight

A bit unconventional, but it does pretty well. TBolt is a bit of a surprise, but is effective against multiple threats. Walls aegislash pretty well.

Suggestions:

-Use. A. Rapid. Spinner. Or a Defogger. You have 3 mons weak to SR, one of them 4x.
-Fire Blast>Heat Wave on Charizard.
-Try Ice Shard>Hydro Pump on Cloyster. Hydro Pump doesn't really do much anyways, while Ice Shard lets you beat opposing priority. Also try Life Orb or King's Rock, since Cloyster isn't supposed to bait any status.
-Earthquake>Thunderpunch on Dragonite. Azumarill is just not worth giving up EQ.
-Magnet Pull>>>>>>>>>>>Analytic. It's the main reason to use Magnezone. Also if you try to beat Gyarados with Magnezone you're doing something wrong.
-WRITE MORE DETAILS. Read the rules of RMT.

God, the biggest problem here is that if you want to use Char-Y, you need a spinner or defogger or else you will have to keep roosting on switch-ins giving your opponent free turns. You should run timid over modest because 417 SAtk already hurts especially with fire under the sun and you may want to out speed expert belt and life orb Genesects. Should also dump the HP into Def or SDef so your HP stat is odd for stealth rock switch-ins. Running Flamethrower is more viable than Heat Wave since 5 less BP is more reliable than 90% accuracy. I suggest this set for Char-Y:

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef/Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Roost
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast/Air Slash/Dragon Pulse

You should also run this Magnezone steel trapping set for anything that wants to hurt Clefable bar Heatran and Excadrill:

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Modest Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Set has the same move to yours, but with a better spread for the current metagame. Added Spd for opposing Magnezone with similar sets.

Hello.
Your descriptions are too short to fit the RMT rules requirements.
I encourage you to PM me an updated version of this team with beefed up descriptions, and since you're new, to join the Mentor Program. I'll be unlocking this thread after that.

Have a nice day.
