Hello! I started to find a team idea who can be fun to play and who can set a weather since i hate rain team (i always lose against them x.x), after some searching mega charizard-y came immediatly as a sun setter and i saw people who played it with tyranitar and excadrill and i loved this idea of 2 weathers so far so i tried to build a team around them :
The team:
Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 180 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Flamethrower
- Stealth Rock
So i started with ttar as a sand setter (i never played this guy until now),for the ev i have taken the standard spread,smooth rock is here for have extra turn of sand for excadrill.
It's my stealth rock setter too while pursuit is here for trap leads i can beat with ttar when i predict they'll switch, stone edge is for the stab and a way for dealing with talonflame and flying types,stealth rock because it's my rocks setter (lol) and for the last slot i hesitated so much between ice beam and flamethrower (i hate the accuracy of fire blast), afters some testings i felt flamethrower was better to dealing staller switch in like ferrothorn or some steel who can annoy ttar (scizor magnezone etc) since ice beam was in my mind for landorus-t / garchomp but for those two i didn't have too much problem with my others teammates for dealing with them.
Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
Well there is a ttar so obviously there is a sand rush excadrill, for ev it's standard all ev in spe and atk for be fast and deal good damage with adamant nature (i hesitated to put a jolly nature but under the sand it's better to have adamant nature for extra power), it's my fairy counter and steels who don't wear an air balloon , earthquake and iron head are the stabs attacks while rock slide is here to beat talonflame when i'm under the sand (i know if there is no sand, i'm being destroyed against talonflame), and rapid spin here for remove hazard for mega zard y (i tried swords dance but i don't like setup move since i don't know how to setup very well x.x) and rapid spin allow me to make my latias teammate more offensive.
Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower
- Solar Beam
- Roost
Mega zard y is here for be a good wallbreaker and for set the sun when the sand can help my opponent if he has the exca ttar core, for ev all in speed and spa with timid nature to ensure at least playing the speed tie others 100 spe, flamethrower is here for stab over fireblast because as i said earlier i hate the non- 100% accuracy (with the power increasing with sun it hit very hard), solar beam is here because it need only one turn to charge under the sun and for dealing with bulky water mons (rotom-w, slowbro etc) as well as giving better damage on rocks types (mega diancie on the switch ttar etc), roost is for recovering stealth rock damage and take less damage on electric attacks, and for the last attack i chose earthquake over focus blast because 70% accuracy is too low and i hate to play the luck for beating opponent tyranitar for the example, eq hit heatran decently who can be a problem sometimes.

So after this trio i started to search others pokemon for have the s/f/d core and f/w/g core (i wlays build my team with these cores lol)
I needed a mon who can resist or both fightings attacks aimed for ttar and excadrill while mega zard y resist itself from fighting attacks, and i felt i need a priority move, then azumarill came in mind immediatly:
Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Superpower
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
For ev, no explanations are needed i think all in hp and atk with adamant nature for hitting as hard as possible when i'm putted 8 in spe to outspeed other azu,aqua jet and play roughs are here for stabs and dealing with landorus-therian or revenkilling weakened mons, and for the two others attacks i chose superpower and knock off, superpower for steels switch such as ferrothorn who take 50% minimum with choice band and knock off on the switch since it's a good choice when i predict my opponent switch and for knock out the eviolite from chansey since it's hard to deal with it x.x.
I know you'll say "why you don't play waterfall?" , i don't like the idea to have 2 stabs attacks and since azu is slow, i prefer to use aqua jet who is boosted with choice band and have a free slot for a coverage move, maybe u'll think it's weird but i alwais played without waterfall and it worked really well for me..
-----
So now i have a fire/water core, i needed a stallbreaker for dealing with stallers who are annoying (chansey for example) and who has thunder wave/glare for have a speed help for allow mega charizard y to outspeed things who are faster than it, i tried at this slot thundurus with thunder wave taunt volt switch and hp ice,it worked quite well but it is weak to rocks and i had no resistances for electrics /ground/water except latios, and i wanted to have a f/w/g core, serperior was chosen for this role:
Serperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Taunt
- Glare
Serperior has a great 113 speed, it's the first reason i chose it, for ev 252 HP 252 speed to act as a fast support mon and be able to take one hit that is not stabbled like heat wave from zapdos etc.
It's my support poke with taunt for stallers,knock off to put off eviolite from chansey and since it's useful to knock out chocie scarf user like landorus-t,glare is here for paralysing oppoent pokemons (and so good since you can pralyse ground type with glare), and leaf storm is for stab since with contrary it double his spa stat ..
Leftovers is here for have a passive healing.
So it complete the fwg core
----
After these five pokemons, i have a f/wg core and a steel/fairy core, so i need a reliable counter/check for keldeo/mega loppuny who completely beat tyranitar/excadrill for sure,and of course who is a dragon, latios hello:
Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
Latios act here as a "lure" defogger, it's an all-out attacker with draco meteor and psychock for stab (and psychocks hit sylveon chansey harder than psychic), and for the last attacks surf is here for the heatran/landorus switch-in
while it deal decent damage to others steels who resist to draco meteor and psyshock, thunderbolt is here for water and flying types like starmie azumarill slowbro ..
For 252 ev spe and 252 spa with timid nature for be fast and hit hard .
Here is my team, i have problems against dragon/ground type such as garchomp or scarf landorus t since it resists all of attacks from tyranitar and excadrill, beat mega zard y and weak a lot serperior and latios with u-turn, my only reliable answer for it is azumarill or surf latios on the switch.
I reached the 1506 maximum ladder but i'm now at 1369 lol, i enjoy to play this team a lot even if i lose so it's why i'd like some advices for this team and why not changing some attacks like ice beam >flamethrower on ttar or ice beam > tbolt on latios i don't really know :/.
And sorry for my bad english i'm french lol.
