Team notes
Aerodactyl’s move set includes the Tailwind and from there its STAB Rock Slide , and Dual Wingbeat following up with Ice Fang. You can get solid flinches off with the Rock Slide and spread damage. Ice Fang is good for the meta dragon types. Dual Wingbeat has a chance to critical hit twice, and having a 90 base damage and accuracy it’s just a solid STAB and coverage move.
STAB for Fake Out and Body Slam and guaranteed first move flinch is awesome for Kangaskhan. His Ability is Scrappy letting him hit Ghost types with the STAB Normal types. Rock Slide once the Tailwind is up and using it on both lead mons has a great flinch rate to abuse. Sucker Punch is always reliable if the Tailwind isn’t up and can guarantee priority before fainting
When Mega Evolved it pushes Charizards Sp Attack to 200+ so no matter what if the move is super effective it will sweep the floor especially with Flamethrower STAB and Drought to improve the damage even more. Having the moves Scorching Sands and Solar Beam eliminates his weaknesses. Solar Beam wipes the Water types and Scorching Sands for the Electric Types
Under the Drought Venusaur gains double the speed due to his Chlorophyll ability boosting it to 200 so he can hop in and immediately get a Sleep Powder up and disrupt the other teams flow. He has Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb for STAB and then Earth Power just to have some more coverage. It’s carrying a Life Orb just to put in the extra damage.
Slowbro is a strong Sp Attack mon but gets seriously bulky for the Physical Attacking Meta. Coming in with a solid 178 defense and having the ability Regenerator allowing it to heal off switch ins and then having Slack Off on top of it can help it hold off the opponent. Solid STAB with Scald and Psychic and then Body Press helps it damage mons physically while it’s still a Sp Attacker.
Raichu when mega evolved, turns his Sp Attack insanely high. Prior to mega evolving it has the ability Lightning Rod to help take away electric damage from Slowbro. Once it does Mega though, it gains No Guard so STAB Zap Cannon and Volt Switch, gives big damage and a paralyze status effect, then the Volt Switch gives opportunity to do a quick switch in. Focus Blast does great damage to help gain some coverage as well.
Aerodactyl and Kangaskhan are the ideal leads, starting off with a blistering 200 speed to set up the tailwind, then proceed with the fake out with Kangaskhan to ensure the tailwind is set. I have a Focus Sash on Aerodactyl and a Chople Berry on Kangaskhan just to keep them in longer. Mega Charizard Y and Venusaur are great Weather Set and Sweepers. Charizard has all sorts of coverage and good STAB. Venusaur has Chlorophyll ability and pushes his speed to 200 and has Sleep Powder to offset the opposing teams Mega/Ace. Charizard with his Mega Stone, and then Venusaur has a Life Orb just so the two can put in big damage Mega Raichu Y and Slowbro come in from a different stand point. Slowbro is coming in very slow but with his big physical defense and having slack off is a good stall that can also do some big damage, having Regenerator makes him a good pivot mon. Mega Raichu Y has the ability No Guard so throwing on Zap Cannon/Focus Blast is big damage and good coverage. Volt Switch and Protect allows it to pivot and throw off the opponent. On the off chance the team is against a Trick Room set then there’s chance to use Slowbro and Venusaur as the second group
