LC Ponyta (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[Altariel von Sweep]

Ponyta @ Firium Z
Ability: Flame Body
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Flame Charge
- High Horsepower
- Morning Sun / Wild Charge

Ponyta poses a threat to the LC metagame thanks to its offensive presence and its ability to use a Z-Move to either take out certain threats for its team or act as a wincon. This set makes use of Ponyta's high Attack stat to fire off a powerful Inferno Overdrive coming from Flare Blitz to KO bulkier, non-resistant Pokemon, such as Timburr after chip damage and Vullaby after Stealth Rock damage. Ponyta can choose to run either Morning Sun for a reliable source of recovery or Wild Charge to deal with Water-types. Ponyta appreciates teammates that can take care of both entry hazards and Ground-types such as Diglett and Mudbray, so Snivy and Staryu are good options. Fighting-types such as Mienfoo or Timburr help Ponyta deal with Onix even though Ponyta can already hit it with High Horsepower. Lastly, Mareanie is annoying for Ponyta to handle, so Pokemon that can handle it such as Electric-types like Magnemite and Chinchou, and Diglett are appreciated, as they help Ponyta by spamming their STAB moves or trapping Mareanie, respectively.
