Recently I've gotten a 5 wins 2 losses at an online tournament with Mega Charizard X and recently I've been trying to test another team for the Zard, I would like advice on how to improve this one given I've been having problems with getting outgunned.

tidycomet-49

plaidforest-21 OP

Poison Touch set

tidycomet-49

ouuhh

fleetsilver-84

Don’t the Poison touch one’s usually wanna run sash?

cleverinbox-49

2 things, coaching sneasler would be rly useful and if you are gonna run poison touch it should prob be sash and I don't think you should run aero with mega xard

fleetsilver-84

I don’t really see the point in running white herb, especially since you don’t really have any defensive investment

plaidforest-21 OP

True

A mon with Wide Guard to protect from earthquakes and rock slides is always welcome to mega char X

plaidforest-21 OP

Like for example?

plaidforest-21 OP

Perhaps I shouldn't run this Pokemon

cleverinbox-49

why??

plaidforest-21 OP

It's just so difficult to get Charizard running

cleverinbox-49

Yknow the most common pairing with xard I am pretty sure is frosslass

cleverinbox-49

its usually paired with like coaching strats like gyrados

plaidforest-21 OP

I'm bringing Aegislash here too for wide guard I suppose

@cleverinbox-49 its usually paired with like coaching strats like gyrados
plaidforest-21 OP

Coaching Sneasler gets awkward in open teamsheet imo

plaidforest-21 OP

No protect

cleverinbox-49

fair I did drop it after a while from my metagross team

plaidforest-21 OP

Doesn't help that testing on ladder is a joke

plaidforest-21 OP

Everything is suddenly different again
