Champions Archetype · Regulation M-C

Sun Offense

Drought Charizard or Torkoal sets the Sun, and Chlorophyll sweepers and Fire attacks run through the field.

The build

Sun Offense pairs a weather setter (Mega Charizard Y or Drought Torkoal) with two Sun abusers (Chlorophyll sweepers or Fire spam). The 1.5x Fire boost + halved Water damage breaks anything that doesn't pack a Rain or Sand counter.

Signature Pokémon

Lead options

Charizard + Torkoal for double-sun pressure, or Charizard + Incineroar for pivot speed.

Win condition

Get sun up turn 1, Heat Wave / Eruption / Solar Beam everything off the field before your weather expires.

Hard counters

Rain (Pelipper) flips the matchup. Tyranitar Sand overwrites your weather. Specific anti-sun tech: Wide Guard + Heat Wave-resist cores.
