Indianapolis Charizard Y Sun

Team strategy

Sun offense that won Indianapolis Regionals in Reg M-B. The standard lead is Charizard + Incineroar: Incineroar throws Fake Out and Parting Shot to pivot safely while Charizard Mega-Evolves into Mega Charizard Y and sets Drought. Under the sun, Heat Wave and Weather Ball (Fire) hit devastatingly hard while Solar Beam becomes a one-turn nuke against Water and Ground answers. Chlorophyll doubles Venusaur's Speed so it outruns almost the whole field, using Focus Sash to guarantee a Sleep Powder that removes a threat for several turns, plus Earth Power and Sludge Bomb coverage. Choice Scarf Garchomp is the fast physical cleaner and revenge killer with Earthquake and Rock Slide. Mega Floette (Eternal) is a secondary Fairy special attacker and Calm Mind win condition that punishes Dragons and Dark-types. Sinistcha with Hospitality and Kasib Berry provides Rage Powder redirection and an emergency Trick Room line, letting the team flip into a slow mode when facing faster or Tailwind teams. Intimidate from Incineroar plus screens of chip from Rough Skin and Rage Powder keep the frail sun core alive long enough to snowball.
