Leon’s starter-dependent team
Leon’s shared team is Aegislash at level 62, Dragapult at level 62, Haxorus at level 63 and Charizard at level 65. Picking Grookey adds Seismitoad and Cinderace; Scorbunny adds Mr. Rime and Inteleon; Sobble adds Rhyperior and Rillaboom. Both variable partners are level 64.
Plan for individual secondary types and coverage moves. Aegislash’s form changes affect how it takes damage, and Charizard’s Gigantamax finale needs a prepared response. The selector uses your original starter even if it is no longer in your party.
