Charizard-Y + Diglett







Started the team with Zard-Y + Diglett as I had a lot of experience with Zard + Dugtrio and felt like revamping this older team I made that was decently successful. Zard-Y is a very underrated breaker that can pressure stall and balance a lot, and Diglett traps Heatran and Tyranitar which are annoying for Charizard. Looking at my core, I needed a Tapu Koko check and a Defog user, so I picked AV Tangrowth and Tapu Fini as they are generally a good defensive backbone for bulky offense and they form a Fire/Water/Grass with my Charizard, and those cores are known for being effecient. I needed a sturdy Ground resist and Stealth Rock, so you already know I'm choosing Landorus-T as it's stupid and is very splashable on teams. To complete, I wanted a pivot that could form a U-Tun core with Lando to bring in Charizard safely, and I wanted it to be able to clean up teams after they've been weakened by Zard, so I picked Scarf Pheromosa, which can do all of the things I mentioned while giving me a lot of coverage, being able to get past popular cores such as Landorus-T + Tapu Fini.
Note: if Dugtrio doesn't get banned, please switch Diglett for Duggy as it will allow you to not automatically lose to Chansey/stall with Screech + Reversal.
