Simple question regarding Bellyzard

[MrBubbles]

I want to get Salac Berry and Blaze to activate after a Bell Drum, my Charmander which has good IVs has 20 HP. So how do I get to activate everything after Belly Druming?

 

[Bone Ronin]

There are two main ways to get both to activate, first to switch Charizard into something that will switch out while stealth rock is in play. Belly Drum on the switch to get the Drum, Salac, Blaze boost. Due to the anticipated prevalence of sandstorm this is not recommended.

The second way is to use substitute to set up a sub, then drum down to the salac boost and sweep. This is safer on the whole but still not that easy to pull off

In the future questions like this can be asked in the simple question thread.

You can also use Double Edge after Belly Drumming to bring you into Salac Berry range. If you're using the Substitute method, you're going to have to make your HP divisible by 4 at LV100. So for your Charizard, you'll need 8 HP EVs. I'd go 248 speed / 252 atk / 10 hp

Unless you have 31 speed and want to tie for speed with any 100 base speeders using Choice Scarf... Then take four out of atk.

Alright, I was just concerned because the Charizard D/P strategy thread suggested 296 HP (IIRC) to pull it off.

Thanks for the response.
