you have given 112 speed EVs in one line and 120 in the other.Bulky DD set:
"evs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 112 Spd"
"- With 120 Spd you outspeed everything up to 88 Spd Naive Landorus-T."
I think we can all see that. He was trying to point out a mistake in the analysis. (Which has now been fixed) :Iyou have given 112 speed EVs in one line and 120 in the other.
As said above, I was quoting what was on the analysis so Subject 18 could fix it upyou have given 112 speed EVs in one line and 120 in the other.
Probably not worth it since you want to keep rocks clear anyways when using Zard X. Thanks for the calc!4 SpA Rotom-W Hydro Pump vs. 248 HP / 100 SpD Mega Charizard X: 127-150 (35.3 - 41.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
You almost have to go max SDef to avoid the 2hko after sr
Yes, this is very true... I'm not the most skilled player, but it's not uncommon for a team to have 2 mons stopping a Zard +1 sweep and I'm not talking about setting up, as DD is one of the best moves at that. Despite having written a post declaring how good Flare Blitz was, DD Zard's most viable attempt at success is with 3 attacking moves, namely Fire Punch, Dragon Claw and Earthquake.Jukain said:Bulky WoW should be the first set IMO. It is the set used most in high-level competitive play, mainly due to how common its checks/counters have become and overall utility of the set. DD is taking somewhat of a back seat.
Dragon Dance Charizard X is the set that has impacted teambuilding and the metagame the most not to mention that it is still an excellent set, similar to Geomancy Xerneas. I think it deserves being the first set.Bulky WoW should be the first set IMO.

Agreeing with Magcargo 2 and Dice (IRC yesterday) on this one. While Bulky Zard X is an excellent set and has been receiving a lot of usage in lately, it's definitely not its most successful set. The Dragon Dance set is not only one of the most dangerous sweepers in the metagame, but it's also pretty versatile, having the ability to go a bulkier route and use moves such as ThunderPunch or Earthquake to get around its checks and counters, making it a challenge to work around at times. I'm definitely not saying that the Bulky Zard X isn't a good set, because I've personally used it to amazing success and seen it do massive work in SPL, but the DD set is by far what defines Zard X as one of the most dangerous Pokemon in the metagame, and I think the meta defining set should always be the first listed set.Bulky WoW should be the first set IMO. It is the set used most in high-level competitive play, mainly due to how common its checks/counters have become and overall utility of the set. DD is taking somewhat of a back seat.
Set Details for Dragon Dance said:- Fire Punch is an option over Flare Blitz. It is weaker, but you won't have a great need for Roost and tends to be better for late game sweeping where you don't want to deal with massive Flare Blitz recoil that will cut your sweep short.
Why 8 SpD?Oh sorry about that. I fixed it. The EV spread is now 144 HP / 240 Atk / 8 SDef /116 Spd.
