Mega G team

https://pokepast.es/e7d7ebadd1bbbe05

Tried to build it more fun wise but it can still work tho also looking at running a rain setter and not setting it manually but will probably improve the team

Any ideas appreciated

Building a Mega Golisopod Rain Team | VGC Strategy

Hellooo I want to build a team around mega golispod for a tournament/laddering
Ive got an intinal idea but im open for any suggestions or changes the team could undertake
Heres my little explanation of the team
(Evs are not finalized)

M-GOLISPOD
Hes very bulky so im thinking of using him as a bulky setup sweeper with swords dance
Strong stabs with first impression and iron head and priority w sucker punch this guy is gonna do DAMAGE

PELIPPER
Is here to set the rain up which cuts the damage of fire moves which golispod loves
Tailwind and wideguard for good utility and hurricane and weatherball for some good stabs
Sitrus for good recovery

ARCHADUALON
If youve got rain arch is here to stay
With leftovers giving good recovery
Flash cannon and dragon pulse for good stabs electro shot to snowball to power up that special atk and protect to keep arch safe

M-SWAMPERT
And swampert just LOVES rain and can be brought for matches golispod hates
Wave crash high horsepower and ice punch for good coverage and protect

GRIMMSNARL
Hes here to increase my team overall bulk and be very dispurtive with parting shot light screen and foul play and spirit break
Why i didnt go for reflect is because since my two main megas are physically bulky(so is arch) and spirit break could help aganist fighting dark and dragon types

SINISTCHA
Here for healing w its ability matcha gotcha for some spread damage (since ive got none)
Trick room which can help enable golispod(and aganist tr teams) and so can rage powder and protect
Coba berry to help aganist the rain mirror

Thanks for reading and all suggestions will be appreciated!!!

Optimizing Your Steel-Type VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

I've done this before, but I'll do it again because the new regulations are coming. I'd also like to use this team in regular ranked not only on yhis server. I can have 2 non-steel pokemon but they are good (other version of Wolfey team tbf )

Problems:

  • My goat orthworm is bad in this team so we need to add other steel type... so we need to swap him for other

  • Lucario is a calss Cannon ( hope z-mega will fix this ).

Goal:
I want it to be my normal team to use because I love all of the pokemon there (RIP my goat orthworm :zz_poketypesteel:)

I have good pokemon knowledge tho in VCG is not that good.

You have free hand on this. Just pls don't swap the entire team. Just my problems and mabey some amendments.

Hope you can help me :smile:

Mega Salamence & Golisopod VGC Theorycrafting | Pokémon

no pokepaste this time around because we dont have all items yet

mega mence will be running a pretty standard mixed set with double edge, hyper voice, dragon claw/draco meteor and protect

golisopod (if his ability isnt horrible) is here for fairies (floette) and will be running first impression, iron head, probably some coverage move or swords dance and protect

the next duo is tsareena and milotic who are there to counter the incineroar/rillaboom core, tsareena can deal with rillaboom by using triple axel and stopping fake out and grassy glide and milotic with comptitive prevents the standard switching game

in the past i used to run a no protect hypnosis set on milotic (coil, muddy water, hypnosis, recover) and while it has performed well, wood hammer by rillaboom is an issue
so the new set will be something along the lines of muddy water, icy wind, coverage or recover, protect with some more points in special attack and speed (probably enough to outspeed incineroar)

tsareena will be running a pretty standard set of triple axel, power whip, low kick and protect with wide lens for some extra consistency (evs are pending, im open to suggestions)

the next pokemon on the team is bulky support dragonite with an attack (probably dragon claw or espeed), ice spinner to remove grassy terrain, tailwind and coverage or protect (once again move suggestions are welcome)
the ability will be multiscale or inner focus if fake out ends up being problematic

and im not really sure what the 6th pokemon should be, some stuff that i have thought of are:

incineroar for support and to round out a water-fire-grass core
sneasler for floette and fake out, because as is if i get team preview wrong against big 6 im in trouble
kingambit for the same reason as sneasler (and defiant)
sylveon for some good damage however opposing steel types might be a problem in that case
