roost is interesting, i think you rather have protect, because infront of charizard you have too switch and no one her besides ceruledge wants to tank a heat wave

wait why is garchomp rocking scarf protect

tidycomet-49

wat

luckyjungle-20 OP

Meant to have life orb on chomp and I’d use greninja against charizard

tidycomet-49

Wouldn't you rather have blizzard instead of ice beam since you have A9

tidycomet-49

water shuriken is also a really bad move

tidycomet-49

Charizard is not dying to that especially if sun is up

luckyjungle-20 OP

What do you think I should change then

luckyjungle-20 OP

Was thinking of dropping ceruledge for something else but I’m not sure

tidycomet-49

if you want to use Scizor ceruledge is fine
you can bait out fire moves and switch into it for a boost on bitter blade

tidycomet-49

i think A9 has to go here because it isn't really providing anything

tidycomet-49

instead i would recommend either Whimsicott
with Tailwind
rain dance
encore
and moonblast

or Sableye
with Quash
rain dance
and whatever else you need
duel screens/Fake out/ disable encore/Will o wisp/thunder wave

tidycomet-49

Rain would be really beneficial because then you can run weather ball on Greninja and have a 100% accurate 100bp water stab

luckyjungle-20 OP

Bet ty ty imma do sableye and try it

tidycomet-49

no prob, good luck on the grind

If you run dual screens I think light clay is almost always better
