Building a Competitive Flapple VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

im trying to build a flapple team, im in the early stages, still selecting pokemon that could work, adjusting movesets, havent even put in evs yet, https://pokepast.es/398dbf46d8b9a34d, flapple obviously benefits from gravity, due to 1.5x boost from hustle (which lowers accuracy to 0.8x for all moves), grav apple being boosted by 1.5x due to gravity aswell, it seems to be able to output some pretty decent damage. also the grav apple animation is really tuff, im struggling to think of megas i could use.

id appreciate some help, thankyou!

National Dex Double Ubers Doubles Format Discussed

So there's this doubles format I found (not on showdown) where z moves & megas are allowed, but MOST ubers aren't (only one allowed is like marshadow i think)
https://pokepast.es/56d0b53609fce4db am trying to make a trick room team based on mega slowbro, i feel like it has potential (even though it might not) and would like some opinions

i feel like the main weak spots are the evs & maybe the moves if that helps

Delhpox Balance Thread VGC Team Idea

https://pokepast.es/86b003138a7f1d0b
I mispelled it in the paste and i think it's funny enough to keep. This idea actually started based around Rotom Mow, as i've been having decent success using Choice Scarf Rotom-Heat but positioning around rock and water attacks is not always doable and it's costing me too many games for my liking, so I figured I should use a form that wasn't weak to that. I then added and moved around several mons mostly based on type interaction- eventually swapping Rotom form again to Wash, because evidently Rotom had its horseshoe crab moment in 2009 and never looked back. Movesets are a first draft idea, EVs I haven't decided on, I might scarf the Rotom, as I'm writing this I'm remembering that Yache Berry does jack to help Gliscor survive Froslass so that's definitely being changed. Other considerations were Milotic, Greninja, Mega-Greninja, Hisuian Samurott, Kingambit, Hydreigon, Mega-Scizor, Incineroar, Gyarados, Mega Gyarados, Mega Emboar, Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria.

GC Sand Team Talk: Gyarados Replacement

https://pokepast.es/486a918b33330088
Building for tomorrow, this is what i have right now. The team feels good together, aside from Gyarados due to all the Intimidate counterers running around, but I don't know what to swap for it that fits. Tyranitar is the only must-keep mon here, other considerations have been Primarina, Sinistcha, Talonflame, Excadrill, Sneasler, other Rotom forms, Archaludon, and Corviknight.

Help Building a TTar-Centric VGC Team

This is the stolen team am currently using. 2 problems, I have mainly physical attackers and I got walled up arch with stamina. The only want I could kill it was cc and scald with milo turn 1 but I end up taking a lot of damage. Secondly, I somehow prefer megaing ttar more which leaves physical xard in a limbo. Looking for a team around ttar. Maybe similar concept with a zard replacement? Any help?

Gimmicky Ditto VGC Team Help

New VGC player, interested in stall and fun gimmicks. WIP team, more conceptual than anything concrete. Core concept is to copy the opponent's mega with my ditto. I'm planning on focusing my own mega on defense.

Either:
- Scovillain for burns and leech seeds to stall, as well as rage powder to keep ditto safe.
- Sableye for prankster/magic bounce utility (unsure on moves yet so many good options)
- Venusaur for bulk, seeding, sporing, and poison for grass and floette coverage as well as protect for stall.
- Audino, Clefable, and a couple other supportive types were considered and I would love defensive mega suggestions.
(If you cannot tell, I like stall)

Since the main idea is inherently unpredictable (no way to know what mega Ditto is trying to copy) I am kind of in love with the idea of Hisuian Zoroark. The chaos in team planning alone fits with the main idea of my team, and the potentiality of bringing in Zoroark for a setup or super effective hit while they expect a Ditto is too good to pass up (Ditto will have the scarf so I'm thinking sash for Zoroark).

I need someone to reposition, and while Incineroar is the best I am so sick of the red cat and I like the chad dolphin more so I'm running Palafin with...I don't know what item or moves yet, but I think general coverage and power to have a more consistent threat that also allows me to reposition. Often Incineroar just ends up being a fake out into parting shot and only sticks around when hapless opponents leave their grass or ghost types lying around.

Last slot or two are free. I'd like two megas but I don't know which two to bring and I need help logically reasoning out which is better for what situations. I'd like my last slot to be both a threat and a coverage of a critical weakness my primary mega and zoroark or palafin both have a hard time with.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
