Off-Meta VGC Team Building Advice | Pokémon Champions

Id like advice on whether or not this would be a good build for this team, any tweaks to the mons I should make, any replacements that would make sense, which secondary mega would be best, and which mon benefits from focus sash more between weavile and excadrill.
Here is the link the team idea: http://www.pokemon-zone.com/champions/team-builder/b8f9fa9b-e04c-4f60-9c45-bba89d651ab6/
Any help would be appreciated 🙏

2v2 Team Help: Sand Mega Staraptor & Grass Picks

I wanna start playing 2v2 but its hard to netdeck bc im always missing key pokemon (archaludon, charizard, floette, dengo..)
I own Scarlet/Violet Base Game, so I could get pokemon from that too. Some ideas that I have which you can consider, but dont have to. I really wanna start playing, so any decent team will do :)

  • Mega Staraptor Team
  • Annihilape + Maushold: cant find a good mega for this
  • Sand? (the event gives a free tyrannitar)

Optimize Your Whimsicott/Gholdengo VGC Team | Pokémon Champi

The team is built around Tailwind support from Whimsicott, with Gholdengo serving as the main offensive core.

Overall, the team has been performing well, but I've been hardstuck at my current rank and feel like I'm missing something. I particularly struggle against Mega Staraptor teams, Farigiraf teams, and Rain teams.

I'd appreciate any feedback on potential weaknesses in the team, possible roster or move set changes, matchup advice. Any insights is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dual-Weather Teambuilding Advice for VGC

I’m looking to build two dual-weather teams with Greninja, Charizard, and Archaludon as my core. For my first team, I’m running Rain-Sun with Pelipper and Grimmsnarl as two additional mons. This leaves me needing one more, preferably not another support mon. For my second team, I’m running Sand-Sun with TTar and Sinistcha. I probably do need one more support mon here. For Rain, I can’t decide between Basculegion or something else like Sneasler. For Sand, I can’t decide between Incin, Grimm, or something else. Or maybe both teams could use Whimsicott?

Raichu and Metagross Team Review

Hello, I made this team for mega raichu and then added metagross to play against fairies but now I think, they kinda overlap each other. Especially both struggling against ground and garchomp being so prevalent the only difference is raichu can stomp rain with its moves even ohko swampert with grassknot and metagross can tank fairies but there's not much fairy on ladder anyways.
The team works well on ladder but this team is not prepped for trick room and I wanted something for that too. Most of the evs are just maxed for speed and attack except incineroar who I didn't know what to do with and wanted bulk on it so I made it half in each def and sylveon is trained to be faster in tailwind than a non scarf garchomp.

I'm also gonna paste the showdown text format for the team if that helps more.
Thanks!

Champ Tier Dual Mega Rain VGC Team

This is the team I used to hit top 200 early into reg m-b. Dual mega rain with swampert and venusaur. The team is fairly hard to pilot but I think it always gives you a chance in each matchup.
