I want my friend to get into competitive battling and I want to have her face as little friction as possible to get started. For that, I wanna make a team around her favorite pokemon (Sylveon, gardevoir and Mikikyu) while trying to avoid the ones she really doesnt like (Generally anything that looks burly or bulky thats after gen 4). Can someone help with making a team that can work for them? Im guessing trick room but I have no knowledge in how to properly make a team like that. Thanks for the help. Pictured here are what I have access to to make the team. Along with my guesses at the sets for them.

I have fallen in love with coaching recently, and James Baek made an incredible eelectross team. I’m wondering if there are any further improvements I could make to the team

I do appreciate any advice I get! Either it's changing some mons or moves/items

A pretty meta idea, wondering what changes I should make?

This is my first time building a team. I need help finding a 6th mon. Any suggestions and improvements are welcome

Was hoping to grab any input for any changes people would like to make for my team.

This is my team atm, but i dont have a real strat

I began making this team when I rlised that I couldn't rly use scrafty gengar that well.

I could have just switched back to my gard dnite team but I rly wanted something new

And I think I might be going freaking insane cuz like, I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Every pokemon induvidually feel amazing (except maybe farig) and the team seems like it should work theoretically but while I did rise for a bit to like 1500 I have now fallen literally all the way to 1100, a record row for me (showdown)

I do not understand wtf is wrong. But something is rly wrong and it needs to be changed

Sceptile and Pyroar team

I wanted to make some changes to Wolfe's M-A Mega Scovillain team because I believe with a new regulation and new threats its worth adjusting. I do believe the Core of Scovillain, Sneasler, Swift Swim basc and Peli are very solid and work a majority of the time.

I tried mega aerodactyl like the original team had as the backup mega but I just didn't feel quite right. I removed choice scarf archaludon simply because I've been doing competitive pokemon for only a couple months and do not feel skilled enough to pilot CS Arch.

Id still like a choice scarf Pokémon, as the team lacks speed control without aero tailwind. I gave raichu Y a shot and I don't think its bad by any means but I'm not a fan of how frail it is (and how vulnerable it is in a meta with garchomp and Mega Swampert). Raichu Y was my answer to Zard Y teams. CS Sylveon was my Answer to Staraptor, but I wasn't a fan honestly.

Ive noticed weaknesses to ground, special attackers in general, and trick room. I was thinking about switching mega raichu for mega eelektross. any thoughts? willing to discuss and happily seeking any feedback :)

I’m lowk horrible at this but I kinda want to get into it so can someone help me build

Ive been playing with this Mega Sceptile team i created and it seems to be doing decent just not good that doesnt change the fact thaim still having fun while using it

I AM USING IT FOR VGC

Can anyone help me out

I’ve been using this Froslass team for quite a bit and I want to make sure it’s in it’s best state before I take it to a tourney

This mon was showcased in James Baek’s recent video, but paired with… Mega Eelectross? I felt like it was doing this broken set a disservice keeping it trapped with the eel. This is my Coaching Blaziken plus Mega Lucario Team

Got some money now TELL ME THE BEST TEAM I CAN MAKE WITH THIS

I wanna build a team around Midnightroc and/or Alolan Ninetails! I don't have a lot of mons, but I have most if the meta mons.

Would love to hear your advices! Will also do my own research as well XD Thank you!

This is my team, please give me a good rain team and how to play the game with that team with proper movesets and abilities and items. Will greatly appreciate it.

Hello I'm kind of new to competitive Pokémon, but I really don't want to use all the meta picks, mostly because I just don't like those Pokémon. I tried to build a team centered around Hisuian Goodra, but I feel like I'm missing something. I don't really know which Mega I should use or whether I actually need Trick Room. If I do, what should I change, and who should I replace? I'm willing to change almost everything

Hello! I'm fairly new to the competitive scene and I've been using this team for most of my time here. I absolutely love it and I do think its almost good enough for me to try and aim for Master ball tier but it has some obvious shortcomings I want to remedy. The first is that the team feels extremely weak to trick room and the second is that opposing mega swamperts can cause an enormous amount of problems to most of my team. I've been looking at sinistcha as a potential fix to these problems but all the Pokémon on the team have felt so good and reliable im not sure if thats the correct thing to do at all. I also put little thought in the EV spreads, mostly just copying things I've seen online so help fine tuning them would be very helpful. Thanks in advance to the team builders of the community, especially considering I dont think I'll be the first or last to send a mega swampert rain team here for help.
