Strategy Overview
Charizard is very unpredictable due to its two Mega Evolutions, with X being a physical sweeper and Y being a special wallbreaker. On their own, these two Mega Evolutions provide massive offensive pressure, but when combined, they make Charizard a top-tier threat that can decide games based on its unpredictability. However, its common Speed tier and weakness to Stealth Rock and Garchomp keep it in check.
Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
