Staraptor + Mega Steelix Team Idea

The thought is to switch to ateelix as my mega in a pikachu or other unfavorable matchup.

Mega Swampert Team Help and Suggestions

Hi all, I originally built this team with the intention of having arch and scarf staraptor in the lead to either u turn into peli to switch in rain after mega or to nuke my opponent’s mega lead with final gambit. Then I’ve got mega swamp in the back to clean.

I kinda just threw sinistcha and drampa to have an alternate trick room mode if I ever run into a matchup I really don’t like with swampert but I feel like my current set doesn’t synergize well with my other mons. Would love suggestions

Annihilape Team Help Items Sets Switches

Im just looking for possible critiques on items, sets and possibly switching mons for others. I feel pretty comfortable with how it plays atm but i like to get multiple opinions on things. The non negotiable would be annihilape and maushold.

Tyranitar Meganium Team Help for VGC

So I have this team here, I made it to use Lycanroc (I love it) but to also counter all the meta threats I've personally heard about! Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any improvements I could make for the team, any flaws, and any pokemon changes I could make. The only thing I'm not willing to change is Lycanroc being in the team

In terms of Tyranitar EV's I wanted him to be strong but more bulky.

Annihilape+Maushold Team Help

So i cooked this team up but I'm not convinced on Kingamnit and Archaludon.
I feel like Anni/Maus/Chari/Whimsi is a strong core but i don't really know what other 2 mons can give value to this team.
Basically my strat is enter Maushold+Annihilape with Chari+Whimsi in the back
1st turn Maushold beat up on Annihilape ideally to set up Rage Fist + Bulk up on Annihilape.
2nd turn Follow me to not get hits on Anni + Drain Punch to recover health or rage fist to try and one shot an opposing pokemon.
When maushold dies i send out Whimsicott for a nice Tailwind and have charizard in the back if i need it to finish up

I would appreciate advice on a couple useful mons for this strat and or better EV training

Building a Competitive Trick Room Team | Pokémon VGC Guide

My objective with the team is to use Crabominable and Sylveon in a trick room team, although I'm finding it hard to justify running both and not just make a trick room team around one or the other. Any advice on which pokemon to run? I figured I'd probably want Sinistcha and Farrigiraf at least as trick room setters, since hatterene could just fill out sylveon's fairy damage slot.
