I’m ready when you are and I hope you’ll be able to coach me on how to pilot it
I am building it now
You will need mega Charizard x, rotom wash, sneasler, kingambit, sinistcha, alolan ninetales
The trick to X-Zard is playing him bulky. Setting up aurora veil setting up dragon dance using sinistcha to keep him topped off and reverse trick rooms sneasler for fake out and fighting support rotom to cover flying, water, and fire and kingambit for sucker punch and iron head coverage
I am building it in showdown for you so you can start practicing with it
I will rebuild it in champions so you can use the rental code to make it exactly the way it should be

see how I am piloting this? Aurora veil blizzard tales makes x zard even bulkier. Sinistcha refreshes hp loss
Set up dragon dance at least once if needed which it usually is then sweep
Ok
Now you need to play as close to 100 showdown games as possible
Learn the team
Understood
Send me replays here so I can watch them when I have time and help you understand the misplays and how to fix them
I made some adjustments and found a way to squeeze Orthworm in it to make it work
If set up right it’s diabolical
Safe Dragon Dances behind a substitute with an aurora veil active
And just who did you swap for orthworm of all things
Rotom I’m still working out the kinks on my Charizard team if you want you can help me with my lucario team as well
But Orthworm with those 2 is amazing
Almost diabolical
Rotom is there for a reason how did you fill the gap you made by removing it?
And why would you bother changing a team you haven't even learned properly yet lmao
I been practicing on champions I can stream the game now on my computer
For my Lucario team I use Mega Lucario, Basculegion, Incineroar, Orthworm, Garchomp and Tsareena
For Charizard I have Mega Charizard X, Sinistcha, Kingambit, Orthworm, Alolan Ninetales and Sneasler
I been practicing and tweaking a lot
So again how does he do what rotom does for this team
Do you even understand rotoms role
I thought it was for dealing with water teams
And?
What else
You are making changes to a teams synergy you couldn't build on your own and don't understand how to pilot
A team you asked me to build for you and I remained awake for hours completing
I’m not trying to say I hate it
What you did, was remove the best physical, rain, and sun check you had
To crutch the fact you aren't learning the team and how to make proper reads and pilot it correctly
Should I replace Sinistcha then
Or work without Orthworm
You shouldn't be replacing any of them
You don't know how to build the team. Don't make changes less than a day after I've done it for you lmao
If you cannot even identify why the Mon is there you aren't ready to remove it
Sinistcha is there to do orthworms job plus deny trick room
You added in a redundant mon
And removed one that kept you alive into many teams
What about my Lucario team then
I am not concerned with what you do to your Lucario team
Stop making changes to one you asked me to work on for you
Ok sorry
Put rotom back and learn how to pilot it. 100 games with the team minimum in showdown
Send me replays so I can tell you why you are messing up with it so bad you think you need orthworm
Ok I’ll revert it back I just couldn’t help but experiment Orthworm with Charizard X for a bit
Experiment all you like
But don't waste hours of my life and a removal of sleep for it before you are ready to
Ok
Just slow down leo
You have to understand how a team works
To help muffin with her tour changes I pumped the team into showdown and played game after game after game with it. All night
Trust me. Learn the team first
Your biggest issue will always be not fully understanding why something is there before finding out if something else will work
Once I can ask you questions like "why did you lead sinistcha xard" and you can respond "rain core pelipper palafin lead is most likely meaning I don't need fake out when rage powder will tank two turns and double me down on dragon dance for free" then you'll be getting there
Gotcha
