Building a Belly Drum Mega Chesnaught Trick Room Team

I’m building a Tr M.Chesnaught team and using Chesnaught as a Tr sweeper, but I’m not 100% sure about mu last 3 mons. The most confidence I have, from those 3 is gambit, but Kangaskan and Skeledirge not really. They work outside of Tr, and it what I was going for, but idk if I should go full Tr. looking for suggestions.

The stats and moves are subject to change except the idea of having belly drum M.Chesnaught

Sharpedo's deep dive

Paste

ok so i got a shiny sharpedo and wanna try getting it working reliably. this team has issues, but works surprisingly well.

the Dive helps sharpedo survive longer to get to high speed, and if you TR and dive at the same time hes under for 2 turns which is funny 😄

help me improve it????
it struggles into M-golisopod, HTR, and if they have a rilla AND a raichu its a real uphill battle

Building a Halloween VGC Team: Gourgeist Strategies

i started working on a new team to correspond with the new season and thought it'd be fun to make one appropriate for october! especially after getting a gourgeist in a dream ball from the recruit ranch.
that being said, i've tried a number of different combos and i'm struggling to get anything in particular to work. i will say i've learned gourgeist is a great stall mon in the right conditions, running protect + trick room + leech seed + will o wisp and max evs in both defenses. had a bit of success using runerigus with ally switch too since it basically gets me a guaranteed trick room setup. but other than that, i'm stuck in ultra ball 3.

what would be a good build to base around gourgeist, and do i need to adjust the moveset i have for her? would i do better without trick room, maybe even dedicating her or something else to imprisoning it? or is it a dumb idea to build around her to begin with???? like i've mentioned in my past posts here, i am pretty new to vgc in general, having only started in july/august. xP

these are the other mons i have available for the theme and like the most (though i am accepting other suggestions if absolutely needed):
- meowscarada
- delphox
- mimikyu
- houndoom
- spiritomb
- aegislash
- corviknight
- sneasler
- runerigus
- sableye
- chandelure
- midnight lycanroc

Building a Mega Charizard X VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

I’m trying to build a Charizard X floette team but I’m struggling to find proper teammates beside sinishcha. I’m also not fully sure what the EVs should be for the existing mons other than sinishcha. Also please don’t recommend incineroar, sneasler, kingambit, farig, or gholdengo.

Is Basculegion-F Viable? VGC Team Building Advice

I've been using this team for a while, here's the pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/03f50b6ced294f08 Anyway I've been seeing a lot of Basculegion-F and have been seriously considering it, as it kinda gets around the Incineroar counter to Basculegion-M and is able to possess ice beam pressure which is just super nice. Is it worth it or no?

Metagross VGC Team Building Guide & Synergy Tips

I kinda just put together the ideas
Thing is I wanna try m metagross team so I added rain so it could survive some fires , added terrain for steel roll , sneasler for boost can't decide on 6th mon so I put a placeholder raichu .

Is this team synergy good ?
I am struggling to make it work i almost 90% of time don't use steel roll should I remove it ? And is grass rilla terrain better or inde one ? Also it's hard to get coaching on meta so should I replace move?
Any another suggestion pls

Also pls tell whom to put in 6th place

Hisuian Goodra VGC Team Guide | Pokémon Champions

Hisui Goodra: My favourite pokemon that I've wanted to use. Does great into the current meta, so I'm thinking a bulky offensive mon. Grassy seed lets it do more damage with body press and take less damage from Sneasler CC. Draco Meteor nukes the current dragon meta mons but since there is Floette I'm open to swaps.

Rillaboom: Obvious after grassy seed. Fake out lets goodra get damage off and the other two grass moves are standard. U-Turn lets me swap into another supporter or attacker because I didn't need HH

Floette: Mega Mon that synergises with Rillaboom. Bulky calm mind set lets me handle special hits more effectively and it helps H-Goodra out with fighting matchups.

Volcarona: Supportive set with rage powder for sneasler(not the best matchup all around💔) tailwind for extra needed speed, struggle bug for needed bulk and fiery dance because I never love reducing ur only offensive stat for quick damage. If volca stays around, then it needs to also actively contribute.

Milotic: Bulky life dew and coil set, but dragon cheer I thought was just funny cuz I can use it on goodra to bypass the spa drop on draco. Prob gonna change it but it was funny at the time.

Last slot I'm open to suggestions with! I have a bad time with trick room so if u have a suggestion I'm free.
