Introduction
**I've had a soft spot for MegaZard X since ORAS, and have been battling with various teams quite a bit lately, including this one. Hopefully my kinks can be ironed out with outside eyes, since I tend to have blinders on during teambuilding. Smogon resources are good, outside critique is better.**
Teambuilding Process
**Mega Charizard X, I love you. Your stats are great, your typing decent, your moves adequate, and I'm a sucker for the aesthetic.**
**Wait, you need stealth rock on AND off the field, don't you Megazard? Excadrill should help you! I am aware that Defog is generally more viable than Rapid Spin, but most of the good ones bar Latios are pretty passive for Bulky Offense. So since I don't want that overlapping dragon typing, Excadrill is our best option to keep some kinda pressure going.**
**Now you need bulky waters threatened, right? Tapu Koko is an amazing check to the majority of relevant water types. Plus Taunt works as a secondary way to control entry hazards.**
**One thing about this metagame: priority is still huge. And can stop a sufficiently weakened zard sweep in its tracks. Psychic Surge not only stops all priority offense, but gives Lele an easy way to join in the wallbreaking fun!**
**This guy has been notorious since Day One Ish. His MAIN purpose is to use Healing Wish to give me essentially a second MegaZard X, tho it still has that infamous flinch hax because why not?**
**Basically. I wanted a secondary win condition. Plus it's resistant to Earthquake, which is a plus.**
