Hello everyone im new to vgc and i'd like some feedback on this team
This team is centered around mega charizard X running a sword dance set with speed control being offloaded to tailwind or trick room because i feel like ddance sets arent consistent when it comes to moving first. This lets me fully invest in bulk and offense and get off big single target damage.
Mega gardevoir is an alternative mega for when xard has a bad match up. I have forgone a psychic stab in favor of hyper beam though im unsure if this is a good idea.
Aerodactyl sets tailwind and throws rocks at yard.
Farigiraf is the trick room setter i chose, fully bulk invested.
Scizor deals with fairies and can be used both with inside and outside trick room. Dual wingbeat is for breaking sashes but let me know if there are other coverage moves worth running.
Offensive incineroar can be used as a trick room attacker and outside of it, it can act as a health pack for more important pokemon with slow parting shot.
Thoughts and additional considerations:
the team is currently somewhat susceptible to intimidate as there is no defiant/competitive pokemon in it
sinistcha could be used as a trick room setter with redirection but idk it doesnt feel as bulky as the giraffe and no helping hand or armor tail is kinda sadge
im unsure if scizor is a good pokemon for the job with so much fire in the format, i have also tried goldengo but then i felt like the team struggled with ground types defensively
there is no weather setter on the team and im not sure if always losing the weather war is a good idea
3rd move on scizor?
is mega gardevoir a good supplementary mega to xard or is there a better option?
💔
Thank you
one for you
hmm what should i drop for cc
i dont have floette lmao
