Zard X or Y? Mega Choice Help for VGC
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member asks whether to use Mega Charizard X or Y on a team featuring H-Typhlosion and Lopunny. The thread includes a pokepaste link, A-Ninetales for rain control, discussion of Sunny Day on Maushold, and recommendations to pick one mega and build around it with options like tailwind support or Aerodactyl/Whimsicott. This helps players refine VGC team strategy.
Hi, I'm trying to create a team with H-Typhlosion and Lopunny, and I was wondering which mega should I use. I already created the team and it include a A-Ninetails, to remove the rain in case I can't use Sunny Day or switch with Zard. I can show in private the team if anyone wants to help!
I know but I've never shared a team with a link lmao
Is a screen ok?
Ok done lol

Oh i didn't mention that I was considering Sunny Day on Maushold (extreme case, i know)
uhhhh
ok
so for starters, this is kind of all over the place? if you are trying to dual mega char and lopunny, you need to build to help both
I'm not totally sure to play MegaLopunny, the stone is there to placeholder. I would like to play double, but I'm not so confident
base lopunny isnt worth a damn tbh
Ok nice to know. What do you suggest?
if you are new to this, start with one mega
and build for that specifically
Ok, i could switch Lopunny for a sun setter to play Zard X maybe? I played a lot in tera and dyna, I like making a strange team not readable but with megas is pretty obvious
no sun for zard x
is dragon physical
zard y is sun special
No fire blitz?
you wont need sun for it
that is what ddance is for
I need to think what can i switch Lopunny for
no you need to pick a mega
then trash the team.
start over and build around it
Ok understood
so what mega do you want
I wanna try Lopunny
I need to play something new to me
great
means you need tailwind
aerodactyl welcome to the team
What if i dont own one?
then you work on getting one
I can try to use a filying ticket
and replace with whimsicott in the meantime
Ok i got whimsi for sure
you can also go balance
play without tw
so say lopunny basculegion kingambit garchomp mamoswine aegi or something
Why mamoswine?
It's a interesting pick
this would be why
What do you think about a bulky Volcarona?
Ok understood
scarf mamo very good into tons of the meta. and outspeeds it
no need for volc
this would cover most of what you would be threatened by
Ok, i will scout for mamo and aereo later
can always throw random mons on the gts asking for them both.
Why facade lopunny?
It was to give Lopunny a normal attacking move, considering a possible burn, but i trashed it dw
With scrappy you should be hitting everything. The only things that resists nornal are steel and rock which you should cc. Fake out you should run. Protect. For the 4th slot you should run a normal move. Lopunny learns giga impact which is 150 stab but you cannot move. Mega kick which is 120 bp but is only 75% accurate. Unironically, facade is the third highest bp normal move it runs. With mega scovillains getting a lot of play, I actually see a reason for running facade
