Beginner 2v2 Team Help Pokémon Champions

Summary

Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments post: a beginner asks for help building a 2v2 team using Raichu Sinistcha Garchomp Pelipper and Swampert. The announcement covers item suggestions like Life Orb and Sitrus Berry, move tips, and simple synergy recommendations to help new players compete in VGC matches.

eagerdolphin-21 OP

I'm new to the Pokémon franchise, I've never played before. I saved some Pokémon that I see are meta. I'm using the team on the left; I haven't adapted to Raichu and I don't know how to use Sinistcha. I like playing 2v2. Can someone help me put together a team? I'm open to the possibility of looking for other Pokémon, but I'd like something with what I already have.

what you have already is not bad at all

happykitten-50

with the pokemon you have, I wouldn't really change it

For someone new in the franchise, the team ain't bad. I would probably change item for Garchomp though - sitrus if you want it to be somewhat bulky, or life orb if you want it to be a massive damage threat.
Honestly I would give Life Orb to Garchomp and Sitrus Berry for Sinistcha, it's true that Basculegion is a threat but Raichu and Kingambit are great against that terrorist.

Oh wait maybe it is the berry for dark damage on sinistcha?

that's colbur berry yeah

mega swampert also great with archaludon. arch benefit with rain, he can boost his spa with electro shot.

i personally will put sitrus berry in peliper slot, make him a bit bulky to survive at least 1 atk to trigger sitrus effect

garchomp can use life orb, with stomping tantrum, dragon claw, poison jab and rock slide. 2HP/32ATK/32SPD
