Moves
========
String Shot is mandatory.
Thunder wave is usually the the best option to provide additional speed control to its main move String shot, but toxic is also an option if you run Electroweb over Bug Bite.
Bug bite can do some ship damage and remove berries. Volt switch can also be an option, to let Charjabug soak up the damage and switch in a fresh Pokemon. As it is extremely tanky protect is optional, but can be handy when you predict your opponent going for a knock off on the Eviolite.
Usage Tips
========
It can be switched in, right when you are about to go for the big damage if you get the opportunity. Or play patient with String shot and Thunder Wave till you win the speed war, and go for the big damage from there.
Team Options
========
Greats teammates will be Charizard Mega-Y, or Blastoise-Mega, Gardevoir- Mega or any Choice Specs user or special attacker that can hit really hard. Heatran is also a good teammate as it can switch in when Charjabug is going to be attacked with a fire type move, while it also can benefit from the battery ability.
