Espathra-Boosted Mega Glimmora & Dragonite Idea

https://pokepast.es/d3578c6f6ede983e

Thinking about what I can do with the Espathra I already have built while I don't own Eternal Floette nor Archaludon. Also been wanting to think of fun, non-meta teams.

Came up with this Mega Glimmora/Dragonite idea.

In general, this is the structure:
espathra - lead
talonflame - lead
a-ninetales - core 1
mega glimmora - core 1
sneasler - core 2
dragonite - core 2

Would love thoughts on what would be the big weaknesses that I might be missing or even if probably would not worl at all. Still haven't even tested in Showdown yet, so please be gentle.

ps this team is not fully original and is based largely on poke on a team i saw on yt with sneasler instead of prim

Espathra Baton Pass Targets & Team Tips

Looking to build a team around Espathra with speed boost using coaching or calm mind to baton pass into another threat. The thing I’m having trouble with, though, is I don’t know what to baton pass into. Any tips?

Bulky Archaludon Rain Team Discussion

Here's my team. I have questions about what moves they should have, as well as my last team slot.

  • Is mega glimmora a bad 2nd mode mega? Its purpose is to help wallbreak sand and sun teams to let archaludon enter the final 2v2 with rain up.
  • Pelliper needs tailwind if I go mega glimmora, might drop wide guard. For now would muddy water fit my plans better than weather ball?
  • Better situational final member?
  • Maushold population bomb vs beat up?

Can yall help me?

Reuniclus Trick Room Team Help

so I made this silly but fun Reuniclus team because I want to make it work. Probably will switch Espathra from Speed Boost to Opportunist. I thought it would be cool to have that option in case I don't want to use trick room, but I've been always using it so it's quite a mess.

If anyone has any tips on how to improve it, it's greatly appreciated

Copycat Guide: Tips for VGC Battles

Copycat is a fun move here is why

It is a non sucker punchable move even after copying another move if using prankster liepard for example.

Copycat will target the # LAST MOVE OF THAT TURN (if its the next turn and you click copy cat it will use the last move of the previous turn)

the targetting will only randomly hit your opponents so you cannot copy cat and side pollen puff from it

Copy cat also can get cancelled out by taunt. So please position your copy cats better

A funny copy cat strategy is actually a mon using boom burst than sylveon using copy cat which is pixilate boosted

Copy cat is only in the following evolution lines

Wigglytuff, mr mime, Jynx, Eeveelutions, clefable
Delcaty, Plusle/minum, spinda, sudowoodo, lucario, mespirit, mimikyu, marshadow, dubwoo, maushold, squawkabily and flamigo!

Try to incorporate it into your team maybe! Its a very fun move!
