RMT: OU Balanced Mega Charizard X

So, I decided in trying my hand at making a Mega Charizard X team that wasn't Hyper Offensive, like most of the teams I use. All in all I think I succeeded, so I'm going to show you what I got!

Charizard (M) @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 60 Atk / 200 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Flare Blitz
- Roost​​

I started with a fully offensive set, which included Earthquake, but then realized that it was subpar and quickly switched to a bulky Charizard set. This set is, in my opinion, better than fully offensive sets because being able to get more than one DD up and having longevity with Roost beats being able to potentially sweep a badly made team. 200 Speed is to outspeed the max base 145 speed megas, such as Mega Sceptile and Mega Beedrill, after one DD. 248 HP to have maximum bulk while being able to switch into Stealth Rocks four times, and then the rest of the EVs are dumped into attack. I chose Adamant over Jolly because I have teammates to deal with Scarf Landorus-T, and it'd be much easier wearing it down with unboosted Flare Blitzes and then cleaning later on.​

Keldeo-Resolute @ Leftovers​

Ability: Justified​

EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe​

Timid Nature​

- Calm Mind​

- Substitute​

- Scald​

- Secret Sword​

Thanks to @[member="Spammernoob"] for suggesting this. Keldeo covers my team's huge weakness against Bisharp. I decided to use Calm Mind Substitute combo, due to already having one scarf Pokémon on my team.​

​

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Power Whip
​​

My mixed wall and also my hazard setter. With the EVs, I can live a +3 Manaphy Ice Beam, while still taking on the multitude of physical attackers in OU. It also sets up Stealth Rocks, which helps with wearing down the opposing team enough for Charizard to sweep. With Ferrothorn, Keldeo, and Mega Charizard-X, I have a FWG core as well as a DFS core. The defensive synergy and utility Ferrothorn provides for Keldeo and Mega Charizard-X is the reason Ferrothorn was included, and together, make a nice core for balance.​

@[member="Gengar's Grin"] (Gengar) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast​​

Gengar was put on here because I'm scared of Mega Slowbro, and I think ghost is currently the best offensive type in the game. Ghost and fighting have unresisted coverage, and Sludge Wave is for STAB and hitting fairy types for super-effective damage. Out of all the 3 attacks + support move Gengar sets, I chose Taunt because it can shut some stall Pokémon down and is, in general, a very useful move to have. Set is standard set, with Timid nature and max SpA and Speed.​

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 24 Def / 232 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off
- U-turn​​

Ferrothorn is on my team to check or counter many physical attackers, but there are many Pokémon that can break past Ferrothorn, such as Talonflame, opposing Mega Charizard-X, Mega Lopunny, Mega Metagross carrying Hammer Arm, and other physical attackers. In this physically-based metagame, I chose to have a secondary check to the many physical attackers of OU, and a revenge killer to boot. The set is the standard Scarf Lando-T, with max attack and just enough speed to out speed fully invested +1 Adamant Mega Charizard-X and Scarf Excadrill. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Defense to boost Lando-T's ability to take physical hits.
​

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 24 Atk / 232 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Earthquake
- Defog​​

With Charizard on my team, a defogger or spinner is absolutely necessary. Latios is here to preserve offensive momentum while providing Defog support, and being a hard-hitter in general. The set is the standard Latios set, with Earthquake to lure in Heatran and hit other steel types hard.​

Let me know what you guys think, and feel free to suggest anything I can do to make this team better!

 

Team has been updated. Thanks for the help guys!
