Pokémon VGC Regulation M Team Building & Strategy Advice

Im hoping to bring this team for the upcoming tournament so i want some advice on changes i can do to the team
Ill do my best interpretation of my current team
(Havent settled on evs)

M GOLISOPOD

Running swords dance to boost my attack
Leech life for healing and liquadation to hit fire types
Setup guy

PELIPPER

Hits fire types for super effective damage
Sets up rain and provides good supportive tools like tailwind and wide guard

ARCHAULDON

Takes advantage of the rain
Another setup option and a good special attacker

GRIMMSNARL

Sets screens to increase my bulky attackers bulk and completes my fantasy core
Gives me a relatively bulky switch in

BASCULEIGON

An offensive mon w good offensive abilities
Patches up matchups aganist gholdengo and other ghost types( and fire types)
Hits hard w wave crash in the rain

GARCHOMP

Helps aganist zard y and raichu and hisuian arcinane
Good offensive coverage and gives me access to some spread damage

Main idea/gameplan:Boost up w golisopod or arch maintain weather control and deal consistent damage with basc or chomp

Mega Golurk Team

Adapted this from before(Lowkey I post too much)

Golurk: I thought it had potential. Unseen fist is still decently good even after the nerf, and it does solid damage into most trick room setters. It partially ignoring protect is a feat alone, but it also has good coverage. Poltergeist and Headlong are just strong, and ice punch is for coverage. Helps with the matchups that Golisopod can't do and walls stuff like Raichu and Sneasler

Grimmsnarl: Golurk especially needs bulk, so this was a good play. I was considering Ninetales Alola but decided against it because there was more utility in a different weather and the prankster was good. Very standard set and it synergises with archa and golis.

Politoed: I didn't really need pelipper as it was more supportive and I needed a bit more special offensive pressure. Muddy water is good spread, ice beam for coverage, and encore can help with baiting moves.

Arch: Since rain is there it's an obvious choice. Standard set and more offensive since bulk is offered with screens and redirection with follow me.

Indee: Terrain was good for the team, redirection was also useful and mega golurk takes way too much damage from stuff like grassy glide and aqua jet. Also, golurk works well under trick room along with golisopod

Golis: It handles the matchups golurk can't and is the stat brick. I havent used it yet so I wanna try it. Also pulls the team together as a secondary mega and with screens I can more than safely do a swords dance

Am open to slot changes except golurk and stat dist changes

Building an Electric Terrain Team | Pokémon VGC Help

What's up everyone! Im returning after a long break to Champions and was wondering how feasible a team based around electric terrain is in the current meta. The stars of the team would be Mega Eelektross and probably Alolan Raichu if its any good or is even available in game. Can someone help me create a team around those two?

Building a Belly Drum Mega Chesnaught Trick Room Team

I’m building a Tr M.Chesnaught team and using Chesnaught as a Tr sweeper, but I’m not 100% sure about mu last 3 mons. The most confidence I have, from those 3 is gambit, but Kangaskan and Skeledirge not really. They work outside of Tr, and it what I was going for, but idk if I should go full Tr. looking for suggestions.

The stats and moves are subject to change except the idea of having belly drum M.Chesnaught

Sharpedo's deep dive

Paste

ok so i got a shiny sharpedo and wanna try getting it working reliably. this team has issues, but works surprisingly well.

the Dive helps sharpedo survive longer to get to high speed, and if you TR and dive at the same time hes under for 2 turns which is funny 😄

help me improve it????
it struggles into M-golisopod, HTR, and if they have a rilla AND a raichu its a real uphill battle
