  1. Mega Charizards have always been my favourtie megas since the mega evolution idea was introduced by gamefreak because I always liked fire-typed pokemon and I must have one on my team regardless. I have always favoured CharizardY over its counterpart,  Charizard X due to Char-Y's cool outlook and it's massive special attack stat of 159 with the ability to set up drought. I had a previous CharY team that I brought to my first Premier Challenge which gave me a taste of being 5-0 at swiss rounds but lost to a mirror CharizardY battle in semis because he had thundurus with swagger which resulted my team being haxed to death. The team is available on pastebin and I used raichu instead of weavile that time which proved to be not bad at all. This time I wanted improve my team and try  a fake out user with better offensive pressure. I looked up for other Charizard-Y teams and built a team similar to my reference.

  26. Defensive Calcs
  27. 0 SpA Cresselia Psyshock vs. 60 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 45-54 (27.9 - 33.5%) -- 0% chance to 3HKO
  28. 4 SpA Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 60 HP / 4 SpD Charizard: 140-168 (86.9 - 104.3%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

  33.  
  34. CharizardY is the star player in the team because it gets important KOs with the support of Weavile's Fake Out. It can also set-up tailwind when it lacks offensive pressure and this idea was obtained from Blake Hopper(Bopper)/Pearl. Flamethrower was chosen over Heat wave because the miss factor was critical and it has caused my team a lot of games. Timid nature with 188 investment in speed allows me to outspeed max speed Jolly Landorus-T and potentially OHKO them if they are not assault vest.

  39. Weavile @ Focus Sash
  40. Ability: Pressure
  41. EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
  42. Jolly Nature

  44. - Knock Off
  45. - Icicle Crash
  46. - Low Kick
  47.  
  48. Weavile is CharizardY's most important sidekick and pressure is chosen to scout for potential common scarf users like LandoT and Tyranitar. -1 Icicle Crash OHKOs 4hp 0 def LandoT and weavile's fake out, which is the fastest in the metagame with Ludicolo in the Rain exempted, has provided many opportunities for Char-Y to set up tailwind or pickup first turn KOs with flamethrower.

  98. Choice banded Landorus-T is one of my favourite pokemon in the metagame. Choice Band allowed me to forgo investing too much in Landorus’ attack, which in turn allows it to be heavily trained in speed and bulk. It also allow Lando-T to potentailly OHKO lesser HP invested Heatrans with Earthquake or even Superpower.
  99.  
  100. This Landorus is able to survive an Ice Beam from 100 SAtk Suicune 100% of the time, survive a +1 Sucker Punch from Life Orb Bisharp, while still OHKOing Pokemon like Charizard and Kangaskhan that were trained to barely survive attacks from 252-Attack Adamant Choice Scarf Landorus. During the tournament, the use of Choice Band was most useful against all the Shuca Berry Heatran I faced. The moveset is standard, because this is still Landorus after all. I did consider Knock Off, but U-Turn allowed me to shuffle Intimidate better, as well as do neat things like reseting Scrafty’s Fake Out or healing Amoonguss with Regenerator while still keeping it on the field. The set was obtained from Raphael Bagara's 2nd place 2015 US Nationals Team.

  102. Sylveon @ Life Orb  
  103. Ability: Pixilate  
  104. Level: 50  
  105. EVs: 148 HP / 28 Def / 216 SpA / 116 Spe  
  106. Modest Nature  
  107. - Hyper Voice  
  108. - Hidden Power [Ground]  
  109. - Helping Hand  
  110. - Protect  
  111.  
  112. Sylveon was hardly used due to prevalent heatrans running crazy in the metagame. This set was also taken from Bopper and i modified it a little to be more offensive since it cannot survive any returns or double edges at without any attack drops. 116 was invested in speed to outspeed Mega-Salamence in tailwind which have to proved to be crucial in many battles as faster sylveon has advantages over other syvleon and aegislashes. There were a lot of situations when a damaged aegislash( 70-80% HP left) was one-on-one against my sylveon and I protected which allows aegislash to change into shield form where a lot of players expected their aegislash to be faster so they stayed in blade-forme and result in sylveon KO-ing blade form aegislash with HP ground.
  113.  
  114. Offensive Calcs:
  115. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Mega Kangaskhan: 91-109 (50.2 - 60.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  116. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 128 HP / 92 SpD Assault Vest Landorus-T: 66-78 (36.6 - 43.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
  117. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 244 HP / 76+ SpD Thundurus: 91-109 (49.1 - 58.9%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO
  118. 216+ SpA Life Orb Sylveon Hidden Power Ground vs. 176 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 166-198 (88.2 - 105.3%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
  119. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 84 SpD Cresselia: 68-82 (29.9 - 36.1%) -- 32.5% chance to 3HKO
  120. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 188 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 75-90 (38.6 - 46.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
  121. 216+ SpA Life Orb Sylveon Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Aegislash-Blade: 146-172 (87.4 - 102.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
  122. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 196 HP / 0 SpD Mega Salamence: 198-237 (101.5 - 121.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
  123. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 108 HP / 4 SpD Mega Gardevoir: 70-83 (44.5 - 52.8%) -- 26.2% chance to 2HKO
  124. 216+ SpA Life Orb Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 100+ SpD Politoed: 75-90 (38 - 45.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

  127. Thundurus @ Sitrus Berry  
  128. Ability: Prankster  
  129. Level: 50  
  130. EVs: 132 HP / 40 Def / 4 SpA / 80 SpD / 252 Spe  
  131. Timid Nature  
  132. - Taunt  
  133. - Thunderbolt  
  134. - Hidden Power [Ice]  
  135. - Thunder Wave
  136.  
  137. There's nothing significant with this ev spread and I just want to have the fastest prankster user on the field as i can shut down opposing Thundurus with taunt which could potentially cause disruptions in my playstyle with thunder waves.
  138.  
  139. Cresselia @ Leftovers  
  140. Ability: Levitate  
  141. Level: 50  
  142. EVs: 204 HP / 132 Def / 12 SpA / 160 SpD  
  143. Relaxed Nature  
  144. IVs: 0 Spe  
  145. - Skill Swap  
  146. - Ice Beam  
  147. - Moonlight  
  148. - Trick Room  
  149.  
  150. A lot of rain team has destroyed me with correct switches which has prevented my CharizardY to do serious damage. I put trick room and skill swap on Cresselia because I wanted to get the sun up without switching out. Other moves are kind of standard on Cresselia and it is hardly tested since my leads were always Weavile-Charizard with Lando-t and Thundurus in the back.I tested this team on Showdown and it proved to be above average with a record of 30-10. :)
