How the team plays

Charizard (Mega Y) is the team's special attacker: Modest with Weather Ball, Heat Wave and Ancient Power behind Protect, at 196 Special Attack. It also runs Mawile (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.

Charizard (Mega Y) sets sun when it Mega Evolves and Incineroar takes advantage of it.

Incineroar works as a pivot next to Charizard (Mega Y): Intimidate lowers both foes' Attack; Parting Shot lets it switch out without losing the turn.

Incineroar provides Fake Out: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.

Whimsicott sets Tailwind so the team moves first. Farigiraf carries Trick Room as the plan against fast opponents. Whimsicott is the fastest at 149 Speed, followed by Charizard (Mega Y) at 120.

Mawile (Mega) is the spread attacker: Rock Slide hits both foes at once. At 70 Speed, it depends on Tailwind being active.

The Rock, Electric and Water weaknesses are unresolved: Charizard (Mega Y) takes 4× from Rock, 2 of the six are weak to Electric and 2 of the six are weak to Water.

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.
