Ponyta really shines in this metagame, imo. With Flame Body, it can be a major fuck you to Sneasel, Meditite, Honedge, etc. There's a surprising lack of fire resists, and an abundance of fire weaks (honedge, sneasel, yanma, tangela)
it also walls swirlix.
Im running Flare Blitz/Flame Charge/Will-o-Wisp/Wild Charge@eviolite. fuk morning sun
my first ladder game with it (vs a meh opponent but w/e)

i knew i won wonce gligar went down because it was literally the only thing that can stop pony
leading with sneasel in that match was actually a misclick but w/e it turned out well
