Depends on what you want it to check
If you want it to handle stuff like Lopunny or MGross better use more Def. If you need to handle mons like Specs Keldeo or Manaphy better, more SpD is better.
Here you go:

Thank you, I appreciate it.
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question here but how are people posting moving sprites in the "good cores" thread?

click on the 'mon you want, then copy the image url, then put it in the icon next to smiley face one
Not yet, it still just has the 1 bp mon limit, the speed + other stat limit isn't implemented yet
Nope
Programmers handle it.
Hi (I'm new here) and...
I need some help on competitive team building cause i want to build it around a mega charizard Y (which i breed for my perfect one already) but Im kind of lost, I'm assuming and kind of want my team to have a physical and special sweeper (mega charizard y) a physical and special wall and i dont know what else id need maybe a defogger/ rapid spinner if i dont use mandibuzz anyway heres my chairizard
CHARIZARD
Item- Charizardite Y
Ability- Drought
IV's- Perfect in everything except attack
Nature- Timid (Want him to be a fast special sweeper)
Moveset- Currently I'm running a...
Flamethrower
Air Slash
Solar Beam
Dragon Pulse
Btw any suggestions here cause I've seen people use roost and earth quake instead of dragon pulse and air slash...
So if you guys could give any tips on what kind of team i could use and what pokemon and give me atleast a direction to work towards that'd be great.
Thank You in advance :)

Charizard Y often doesn't run Air Slash indeed, because it only hits a few pokemon harder than one of the other moves. Roost / Focus Blast / Flamethrower / Solar Beam is the best set but as you said Dragon Pulse or Ancient Power can be used to lure in some pokemon like Lati@s and SpD Talonflame. Excadrill, Starmie and Latias are some hazards removers that are often used with Charizard Y
One does not simply run Air Slash on Charizard-Y. For teammates, you can add Keldeo and Tyranitar, for starters.
Also, take a look at it's new Dex Analysis here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/charizard-qc-2-3-writing.3535138/
You can also take a look at the OU Good Cores thread.
EDIT: Karxrida Neutral Fire Blast in the sun is stronger than Super Effective Air Slash. However, Flamethrower in the sun doesn't do this (it's slightly weaker) although the difference is so small you might as well not run Air Slash at all.
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Machamp in Sun: 358-423 (111.5 - 131.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Air Slash vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Machamp: 326-386 (101.5 - 120.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Machamp in Sun: 294-346 (91.5 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Air Slash vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Machamp: 326-386 (101.5 - 120.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Machamp in Sun: 294-346 (91.5 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
So If I get this right, the ideal use for Harvest is in Trevenant and with a Sitrus berry right? Are there other uses for the ability?
Technically the ideal use for Trevenant is not use it at all but you can also run rest + lum or rest + natural cure
But really just use Gourgeist-XL
I was asking about the ability in general, not the pokemon. I remember reading earlier that Trevenant was better at using Harvest than Tropius, so if what you say is true does that mean that Harvest (and berries) are useless?
In OU, pretty much, though berries in general are actually very useful, Lum Berry can help some sweepers evade status, weakness berries can be pretty good on Pokemon like Volcarona and Tyranitar, Salac Berry can help Substitute users gain extra speed, Sitrus Berry can be helpful on BD Azumarill and Rotom to get some fast passive recovery, and multiple other berries can be used alongside Natural Gift to serve as a more powerful physical Hidden Power that takes up a moveslot to use.

When is Hoopa getting released?
On the 18th. So 9 days approximately.
God save us all.
are there any discussion threads about how hoopa's going to be? I think unbound's gonna make OU
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/hoopa-unbound-please-read-post-99.3525458/
That thread I guess or the Metagame discussion thread. Both are on the front page last time I checked.
