Id like advice on whether or not this would be a good build for this team, any tweaks to the mons I should make, any replacements that would make sense, which secondary mega would be best, and which mon benefits from focus sash more between weavile and excadrill.
Here is the link the team idea: http://www.pokemon-zone.com/champions/team-builder/b8f9fa9b-e04c-4f60-9c45-bba89d651ab6/
Any help would be appreciated 🙏
i just started playing champions recently and have no experience in team building. i managed to get a whimsicott metagross and hydreigon team but it's super weak to sun and TR team
i was using char but just replaced it with blaziken, not sure about the incineroar just yet but i feel like i need some help for TR team
I wanna start playing 2v2 but its hard to netdeck bc im always missing key pokemon (archaludon, charizard, floette, dengo..)
I own Scarlet/Violet Base Game, so I could get pokemon from that too. Some ideas that I have which you can consider, but dont have to. I really wanna start playing, so any decent team will do :)
I have been stuck in ultra ball 1 for a bit with this team I made, not sure if it is a skill issue o
Thoughts?
The team is built around Tailwind support from Whimsicott, with Gholdengo serving as the main offensive core.
Overall, the team has been performing well, but I've been hardstuck at my current rank and feel like I'm missing something. I particularly struggle against Mega Staraptor teams, Farigiraf teams, and Rain teams.
I'd appreciate any feedback on potential weaknesses in the team, possible roster or move set changes, matchup advice. Any insights is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
So I am trying to cook a bulky snow team for a member of the discord.
We are looking for a bulky almost stall based team using snow or trickroom if we can
Here are a few cooks ive made looking for advise/changes
Key concepts for the team:
BULKY VERY BULKY
healing where we can such as life dew or Slack Off
Im considering set up and a protect the Queen style build
Mega Snowbro - my fav so far

I’m looking to build two dual-weather teams with Greninja, Charizard, and Archaludon as my core. For my first team, I’m running Rain-Sun with Pelipper and Grimmsnarl as two additional mons. This leaves me needing one more, preferably not another support mon. For my second team, I’m running Sand-Sun with TTar and Sinistcha. I probably do need one more support mon here. For Rain, I can’t decide between Basculegion or something else like Sneasler. For Sand, I can’t decide between Incin, Grimm, or something else. Or maybe both teams could use Whimsicott?
I wanna make a mega meowstic team but dont know what type of team to use
Right now, I run orthworm, dragonite, sneasel as main 3. Can you suggest bench pokemon that can be subbed depending on cases of enemies.
Hello, I made this team for mega raichu and then added metagross to play against fairies but now I think, they kinda overlap each other. Especially both struggling against ground and garchomp being so prevalent the only difference is raichu can stomp rain with its moves even ohko swampert with grassknot and metagross can tank fairies but there's not much fairy on ladder anyways.
The team works well on ladder but this team is not prepped for trick room and I wanted something for that too. Most of the evs are just maxed for speed and attack except incineroar who I didn't know what to do with and wanted bulk on it so I made it half in each def and sylveon is trained to be faster in tailwind than a non scarf garchomp.
I'm also gonna paste the showdown text format for the team if that helps more.
Thanks!

This is the team I used to hit top 200 early into reg m-b. Dual mega rain with swampert and venusaur. The team is fairly hard to pilot but I think it always gives you a chance in each matchup.

Rain team I have used to reach master 3. The rotom was a scarf Hydreigon previously but recently switched up. Some context on some of the choices.
Swampert - speed stat to outspeed base 130 mons in rain
Pelipper - speed stat to out speed base 120 mons in tailwind
Sableye - walls would be nice but really struggle to fit them in, will o wisp makes do by beidging the gap between being disruptive/hindering and doing damage. Quash is fantastic for speed control.
Arch - Bridge
Scizor - Stays on the bench unless opponents are fairy heavy or run meowscarada who i have found to be awkward to deal significant damage to without taking big losses. Great switch in to either.
Rotom Mow - The sauce. This is here almost exclusively for rain mirrors. Threatens swampert, pelipper, bascu (sort of) and dark pulse can do significant damage to sinistcha, the most common swampert counter I have seen, with the flinch chance not to be slept on. Levitate makes a great partner/switch in next to swampert. Max sp atk thunder also OHKOs max hp mega staraptor and 9 hp guarantees living CC/brave bird without a crit/boost. Extra bonus, also OHKOs zard Y with 5 or less hp investment. Main issue it has is jolly max speed scarf or swift swim basculegion who outspeeds and OHKOs rotom with 2 stacks of last respects. The speed investment with scarf lets us outspeed max speed scarf adamant bascu or anything speed 125.
My box?
Sorry if the image is hard to see 🙁 I'm looking for recommendations for the team atm. I'm struggling into trick room teams with firig and some weather teams. I know its a bit of an odd set with Falinks but he is a favorite and defiant feels nice in the meta. Open to any recs 🙂
Hello guys, gamer here. This is my take on a meta breakdown thread. Main focus would be to provide sample pastes and explain all the core structures and meta trends rising in the upcoming regulations, as well as have resources from players starting from beginner up to I guess champion rank, since everyone has more to learn. From tips and tricks to face certain teams or use them, up to teambuilding choices and tips, I'll try to have it all here, broken down to basic information, as much as I can. I'll try to always have pinned the title of the team I will explain each time so you can easily go back. Hopefully this will become an enjoyable journey of knowledge from which all of us will have something to derive.
