Charizard @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Flare Blitz
- Roost / Earthquake

Thanks to its high Attack, Tough Claw, and powerful STAB attacks, Mega Charizard X is a frightening sweeper in the OU tier, separating itself from other Dragon Dance sweepers such as Zygarde thanks to the longevity and durability provided by Roost, which allows it to come in and repeatedly weaken its checks beforehand. Outrage is used over Dragon Claw to 2HKO Unaware Pokemon on stall teams such as Quagsire and Pyukumuku, and Earthquake can be used to hit Heatran and Mega Diancie, which are otherwise difficult for this set to deal with. Mega Charizard X is commonly seen on more offensive teams, paired with breakers such as Tapu Lele and Kartana that can weaken opposing teams and allow it to clean late-game. This Mega Charizard X set is prone to getting worn down due to its Stealth Rock weakness and Flare Blitz recoil, so Defog support from Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Tapu Koko is also appreciated.

Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Flare Blitz
- Roost / Earthquake

So make sure to change the description accordingly.

hanks to its high attack stat and Tough Claw ability, Mega Charizard X is a frightening sweeper in the OU tier, seperating itself from other Dragon Dance sweepers such as Zygarde due to the fact that it can consistently beat grass types and other bulky pokemon such as Mew and Clefable.
Access to Roost gives Charizard X a lot more durability and allows it to break down checks for its sweep beforehand easier, which Zygarde kinda struggles to do since most setup sets don't run any Attack investment, and wearing down Grass-types in general's pretty hard unless it's something like SubToxic DD.

This Mega Charizard X set is prone to getting worn down due to its Stealth Rock weakness and Flare Blitz recoil, so Healing Wish support from pokemon such as Jirachi is also appreciated.
Defog support > Healing Wish support.

This spotlight's above the character limit so you should look to shorten some stuff.
