Charizard @ Charizardite X

Ability: Blaze
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Claw
- Roost
- Dragon Dance

When first started to build this team the mega I wanted to use was definitely Charizard X. I've always liked charizard ever since I began playing pokemon it was cool and pretty good in-game, but when I began to play competitive battle (BW) it got absolutely crushed. However with the new intro to mega stones it made charizard and abolute killing machine. with 2 DD set and your opponent posses no Strong Counter (Basically only Azumarill and Heatran) or a weakened counter the game is over. Moves are quiet standard you've your basic two stabs( Dragon Claw/Flare Blitz ). Dragon Dance sets up to sweep. I chose Roost > EQ because loosing a little offence will really save Charizard in certain situations, Plus it helps with sucker punch mind games against bisharp

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 228 HP / 252 Atk / 28 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Waterfall
- Play Rough
- Knock Off

Next up is azumarill, like charizard this pokemon did't get much love in the past few gens. But now it received a gift the brand new fairy type it has become one of the most used pokes on the ladder. Huge Power equipped with a choice band makes this thing even stronger and a Harder Hitter, but the reason azumarill was put on the team was because i didn't want the opponents teams Charizard sweeping my team. Aqua Jet is here because of its a priority move, since this thing is SLOW asf. Waterfall/Play Rough are Stabs and Knock Off is there to hit incoming pokemon

Thundurus @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Looking at a few other teams I saw many people running thundurus and after a few rounds of play testing I could see why. prankster + tw is awesome it absolutely shuts down pokemon that are getting too many boost and can really save the day. Thunderbolt HP Ice and Focus Blast really round off thundurus' coverage allowing it to hit manys mons. Thunder Wave is the best move on this guy it shuts down so many sweepers

Hippowdon @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 240 HP / 192 Def / 76 SDef
Impish Nature
- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic

Unlike most people I chose Hippowdon over Ttar for a sand setter. Reason? 1. it has acess to recovery 2. it can stall out alot of pokemons unlike ttar whos is frail to physical attacks. The moveset is pretty standard Slack Off is for recovery. Earthquake incase I get taunted. SR pretty standard. Toxic really helps speed up stalling process
Excadrill_drill_rin.gif

Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
IVs: 29 HP
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin

Excadrill is an absolute beast in the sand with sand rush it outspeeds everything is the tier. Equiped with a Life Oeb it can sweep without swords. EQ and Iron Head Hurt. Rock Slide is for things that fly and rapid spin clears my hazards for charizard.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Extrasensory
- Dark Pulse

Please move fast enough so that looks like greninja. Okay it doesn't look like greninja at all oh well there aren't any GIF from the cartoon and im like OCD so I needed them to be all GIFs. Anyways Greninja is like the glue for this team it get rid of those mons that certain members hate. Moveset is pretty standard I give excellent coverage. I chose Surf > Hydro Pump because want to risk that miss, but other then that it pretty much what everyone runs


Please Give Suggestion Id really Appreciate it :)

Well, for my 100th post I decided to do a team rate which I have not done in a while. First off, three lines of text describing each pokemon or else the thread is locked. With that out of the way, looks like a pretty good team. Unforetunately, changes must be made. First, you have the wrong spread for Bulky DD Charizard. The correct EVs which will work much better are 248 HP / 152 Attack / 108 Speed with an Adamant Nature. On Azumaril, I would run Superpower > Knock Off as it hits Ferrothorn much harder and is the only thing that will deal decent damage to it. On Greninja, I would run U-Turn over Dark Pulse as it gives you nice iniative to switch into the best pokemon for whatever is out on your opponent's side of the field. Oh, and may want to look out for Quagsire as he doesn't really care about anything your team throws at him. Grass Knot on Thunderus would solve this if you want to give up a move slot. Good luck with your team!

Hey thx for the suggestions man. Putting Superpoweron Azu was definetly a great idea it aloowed me to take care of ferro alot better and also Ive removed HP ice for HP grass Ive tried grass knot but it doesnt hit rotomw as well However it does allow me to kill hippowdon so I guess ill keep testin it. The charizard was not meant to be a bulky set tho i might try one. I justlik roost. I also tried uturn on greninja Its not that helpful in my opinion so for tht one ill stick to my set.Overall thx for your help. sry if thisrlly badgrammar im doin it on phone
