Sylveon analysis - is it viable?

Let's discuss a strategy that's been working incredibly well for me lately - Weather Offense!

I've been running a Sun team and the damage output is absolutely insane. Here's the basic concept:


**The Setup:**

Lead with Drought Ninetales to automatically set Sun. This boosts Fire-type moves by 50% and activates Chlorophyll on your Grass-types.

**Key Pokemon:**

1. Ninetales (Drought setter)

2. Venusaur (Chlorophyll sweeper)

3. Charizard (Solar Power variant)

4. Excadrill (Sand Rush for anti-weather)


**How It Works:**

Under Sun, Venusaur doubles its speed and can outspeed most of the tier. Solar Beam becomes a 1-turn nuke, and Growth gives +2/+2 in Sun. Charizard with Solar Power hits absurdly hard, though the recoil is rough.

**Counters to Watch:**

- Rain teams (weather war)

- Rock-types (Rock Slide spam)

- Tyranitar (Sand Stream cancels Sun)

Has anyone else been running Sun teams? What's your experience been like?

Thanks for sharing this! Really helpful information.

I'd also recommend checking out some YouTube tutorials on this topic.

Any tips for someone who's new to competitive battling?

Couldn't agree more. You've hit the nail on the head here.
