Hi! I'd like to request a team with the core of two interesting sets for two common mons in flying: Charizard Y and Gyarados.
Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Solar Beam
- Dragon Dance
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 68 Def / 132 SpD / 60 Spe
Impish Nature
- Waterfall
- Thunder Wave
- Rest
- Taunt
Physical DD Zard Y is a set that I've tried in OU a bit (back in 2014) and it's helped to lure certain mons such as chansey, as Zard Y is usually special and a +1 FB in the sun does over 70% (max roll of 83.6%) to a 252 hp and 252+ def chansey. Solarbeam helps deal a huge chunk to water types that believe zard Y is a solely a physical set and takes out faster water types that try to revenge kill zard (at +1 speed, zard y is faster than threats such as starmie and keldeo). Since the physical set usually carries earthquake, dragon claw helps to lure the lati twins.
+1 252 Atk Mega Charizard Y Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 501-589 (71.1 - 83.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
4 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Starmie: 296-350 (112.9 - 133.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
4 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Keldeo: 282-334 (87.3 - 103.4%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
+1 252 Atk Mega Charizard Y Dragon Claw vs. 72 HP / 0 Def Latias: 246-290 (77.1 - 90.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
With that specific zard y set, it gets completely walled by heatran, has trouble with rain teams, and rocks are an issue. Support gyarados helps alleviate all three issues. Waterfall deals a good chunk to heatran, thunder wave helps cripple faster threats (such as kingdra and kabutops in rain), and taunt helps prevent rocks from getting set up when gyara is against slower SR setters (60 speed evs to creep upon some sr setters such as heatran). Rest is there for longevity. Gyara also beats non stone edge mega swampert in rain (edge from adamant mega swamp has a 4.7% change to 2HKO gyara after lefties recovery). A specs draco from Kingdra does 74% max to gyara (so you can take one draco even after rocks, cripple with twave, then rest up), while a -1 edge from kabutops 2HKOs gyara. The given spread of 248 hp, 68+ def, and 132 spd allows gyara to do this. So, if played correctly, gyara can cripple both kabutops and kingdra with twave.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Kingdra Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 132 SpD Gyarados: 246-291 (62.5 - 74%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Mega Swampert Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 68+ Def Gyarados: 180-214 (45.8 - 54.4%) -- 4.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Life Orb Kabutops Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 68+ Def Gyarados: 289-343 (73.5 - 87.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Feel free to change either of the spreads on both mons. Thanks for giving this a read :]
