Delphox is the best fire starter bar BeastKen, no doubt, charizard is stupidly overhyped, for fucks sake it really only holds the fire type over dragons, it's wallbreaking is surpassed by mega and regular chomp and kyuB, which can actually 2ko mega venu with no boosts by just straight up going CB (in reg chomps case, not mega chomps case) outrage, while flare blitz will only 3ko phys def mega venu thans to thick fat coming off charizard's thought to be ridiculous 130 base attack, thsi is just 1 example, there are many more, like oh I don't know KS Aegislash? KS aegi will never drop garchomps offenses due to earthquake being a non contact move unless your stupid enough to overpredict and go for outrage instead of EQ, while charizard can get it's attack dropped by 2 entire stages, and unlike blaze and talonflame, which get SD, it will take 2 turns to make that drop up with dragon dance, and even then it's only to reach back up to a 130 base attack, even max attack bulk up gogoat with EQ handles fucking aegi better, and this is a fire type we're talking about here. come the fuck on.
It's BL at most in terms of viability , but knowing all the STUPID ass charizard fanboys in the OU usage stats, combined with these guy's actual usage , it probably will be OU.
Anyway, back to delphox,choice delphox gets both GK and switcheroo letting it fuck with chansey, ttar and blissey

This is delphox's SECOND strongest set, and oh look what are it's counters between OU and UU?: latias, phys def.chansey end fucking list
this thing has less checks than keldeo itself, KELDEO, one of the most predominant forces of late BW2 (not as powerful as people say it is, but still stinking powerful)

GG stall, GG
And don't tell me "it can be revenged" so can garchomp, so can keldeo, so can terrakion, who gives a shit, the scarf set and the all out attacker surprisingly trouble offense as it handles a lot of the things commonly seen on offense
