This new team BROKE the Pokemon Champions metagame

A new team combining Sun and Rain recently dominated the Grand Champions Festival Encore, a tournament with over 4,000 players participating in it. Four different players made it into the Top 8 with the team. While it might seem odd to combine Mega Charizard Y with Rain, the combination is often too overwhelming for opposing teams to deal with as the Rain core covers for Charizard's main weaknesses. We give this brand new team a spin in this video!
