Help me find a replacement for Charizard?

2 minute read

I’m currently building a competetive team but I need a replacement for Mega Charizard Y (Charizard in general as I have found another use for the mega stone.)

Warning: This question may be a bit long to read to some so read at your own risk.

My team now is:- Lucario (M)- Garchomp- Toxapex- Charizard (Replace)- Tyranitar- Mimikyu ( I also feel like I should replace him as well but research tells me otherwise. Feel free to comment on this as you please)

Charizard I know isn’t worth using without his Mega Evolution and even then I found that Mega Evolving serves more purpose with my other Pokemon. As of such i’m in need of a replacement as Charizard just sucks. However I was in doubt of this as he kind of severed as my main special attacker; but recently he hasn’t really worked as well as I had hoped

These are the requirements for the new replacement:

Note the Pokemon doesn’t have to fill all the requirements, just as many as possible

These are some Pokemon that I have been considering as a replacement:Rotom - HChanduleurGardevoir

Someone’s already answered, and I think I have a better answer, so I might as well contribute my ideas before this question becomes irrelevant.

Gengar @ choice scarfAbility: cursed bodyEVs: 4 Def/252 SpA/252 SpeModest nature-sludge wave-shadow ball-focus blast-giga drainIt’s immune to fighting attacks and can learn giga drain to hit ground Pokemon. It’s obviously a special attacker that doesn’t mega evolve. It has sludge wave for grass Pokemon, focus blast for Lucario and ice Pokemon, and shadow ball for Aegislash. It has to hold a choice scarf or Lucario will outspeed it and OHKO it with a swords dance boosted attack.

Celesteela @ leftoversAbility: beast boostEVs: 252 HP/68 Def/188 SpDBold nature-leech seed-flash cannon-flamethrower-air slashIt’s immune to ground attacks and has air slash to hit fighting Pokemon. It’s obviously a special attacker that doesn’t mega evolve. It has air slash for grass Pokemon, flash cannon for ice Pokemon, and flamethrower for both. It can check Aegislash with flamethrower, and should be able to do the same to Lucario. In case you didn’t know, leech seed can hit targets when they’re using king’s shield.
