Pokémon VGC Team Building Advice & Meta Discussion

It’s been feeling good but I wanted to know if anyone can think of anything to improve it. I myself have been thinking of swapping Golisopod for a different mega as I feel like I’m just bringing Chomp to almost everything.

Any ideas on that or suggestions in general would be appreciated!

Old Team Needs Some Fixing

An old team that I want to update. I've been struggling to deal with Indeedees recently, am wondering if I should just give Sableye rain dance and drop pelliper for something better, and generally wonder if y'all see any easy to fix issues with my team.

Venusaur Archaludon rain is something I would like to keep but everything else is free to go.

Thanks for any advice!

Building a Mono-Electric Team | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Now you might be thinking, who’s dumb enough to run a mono electric pokemon in a meta filled with group type mons, the answer is me.
I don’t know why I’m doing this besides the fact that the majority of the mons are cute but we’ll see how far we can even get with this ridiculous team. Feel free to change almost whatever.

Pokémon VGC Team Building Help | Pokémon Champions

Its been a bit since I started out in Pokémon Champions, however Competitive Styles aren’t my field. So I was hoping to get some help!

For singles I was hoping to get a team that revolves very well with snorlax, and for doubles a team that holds well with sharpedo (and possibly chandelure soon, however I am aware of how frail and at a disadvantage their stats are—)

It would also help what behavior or item they should use, tysm !!

Mega Golurk VGC Team Guide | Pokémon Champions

https://pokepast.es/003a220aa47cc528

Mega Golurk is a really overlooked Mega pokemon. It outspeeds kingambit to OHKO it and help Farig set TR, and that's not even mentioning how it completely walls Raichu Y. I gave mine Ice Punch for all the dragons running around, and some support with pokemon like Farigiraf, Incineroar, and Rillaboom. Having my own Ychu helps out into tougher matchups like Zard Y teams, as well as being a fast option to blow up a few pokemon before TR/clean up after it's run out. Overall I've played for a bit with this team and I think the concept is really strong. I don't have any tournaments lined up rn, but I think Mega Golurk could go insane in the right hands so I'm putting this idea out there.

Building a Mono-Type VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

I am planning on making a team where every member is of only one type without a secondary type.
For the Tentative members,
- Garchomp Z (dragon)
- Arcanine (fire)
- Milotic (water)
- Rilaboom (grass)
- Sylveon (fairy)
- Maushold (normal)

The last member hasn't been decided and I plan to make a functional and playable team.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Mega Gardevoir & Salamence VGC Team Building Help

Core is very similar to a team I've posted here before. I'm very happy with that - Gardevoir, Indeedee and Sneasler all feel good and synergise well together. I also think Salamence and Arcanine work well together as an alt mode. I'm a little stuck on Ceruledge. I love Ceruledge and I think it works really well with my Gardevoir mode but I'm not super sure it fits on the team as a whole. I think my biggest issue is that it feels a little too samey to Arcanine and I never want to bring them together which feels kind of limiting. I initially used Ceruledge as my anti-sun pokémon but Arcanine can kind of handle that. And because I don't want to bring them together, it usually means I bring Indeedee with my Salamence instead (Salamence, Arcanine, Sneasler, Indeedee) but Indeedee doesn't always contribute as much as I'd like it to (in this specific configuration) outside of activating Sneasler's psychic seed and spamming follow me.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what I'm asking for - I suppose whether it would be best to swap out Ceruledge for something else? Or maybe to swap out Arcanine instead (I do generally like Ceruledge more than Arcanine but Arcanine might be a better fit for the team)? However, I have no idea what an alternative could be. I guess I'm a little worried about my rain matchup (though haven't played against any rain teams with this team yet) so that might be somewhere to start.
