If you want to trap pokemon, I would recommend Choice Scarf shadow tag Gothitelle with trick to cripple any wall such as Ferrothorn or Eviolite Chansey while I can get Charizard X on a potential safe switch in. Honestly I think Golbat should only be designated as a defog user since it cannot beat the majority of the ou/uu tier. Course Super Fang is an option as well but that's about it. The thing is no one will let their Fairy wall/cleric in on something like a Golbat due to both typing disadvantage and potential Toxic damage. Honestly the Golbat set will literally be setup bait for anything whether the opposing mon could setup hazards, spread status, or just trick it.
Charizard X needs Pokemon that can get rid of revenge killers like Lati@s, Landorus, Terrakion, Garchomp, Keldeo, or scarfers who run rampant in the tier. Remember you can't just setup and proceed to sweep through the opposing team thinking you clearly won. Gothitelle is a a good partner as it literally traps the walls/checks that could otherwise beat Charizard X. Defog/Spinners are absolutely necessary to have since Charizard is still x4 weak to Stealth Rocks plus it now gets hampered down by Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Pokemon like Starmie, Excadril, Mew, or Skarmory can support Charizard with hazard control as well as deal with some of the aftermentioned threats I mention. Cleric support from Clefable, Sylveon, or Chansey is another option to consider especially when Charizard is taking chip damage from recoil and hazards. Finally you want to have Pokemon that can prioritize revenge killers so Pokemon like Scizor, Azumarill, Bisharp, or Dragonite can help as well.
