How the team plays

Charizard (Mega Y) is the team's special attacker: Timid with Heat Wave, Weather Ball and Hurricane behind Protect, at 179 Special Attack.

Charizard (Mega Y) sets sun when it Mega Evolves and Venusaur and Pelipper take advantage of it.

Pelipper sets Tailwind so the team moves first. Charizard (Mega Y) is the fastest at 132 Speed, followed by Garchomp at 122.

Garchomp is the spread attacker: Earthquake and Rock Slide hit both foes at once.

Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Ice: blocking Blizzard is more reliable than surviving it.

Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Rock: blocking Rock Slide is more reliable than surviving it.

Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Electric: blocking Discharge is more reliable than surviving it.

The spreads are the generic 32/32 ones and have not been tuned to specific benchmarks.

We build each spread against the most used Pokémon in the meta and around its teammates: the Speed that pays off most (counting the team's Tailwind or Trick Room) and just enough bulk to survive one or two hits from the threats no other member already handles, with the rest into attack. It's an estimate on the Pokémon Champions scale (0–32 per stat, 66 in total), because players don't publish their real spreads.
