I want to build a team that functions well in and out of trick room and also is not obviously a trick room team at team preview. Obvious trick room would be something like farigaraf, crabominable, and kingambit, so shouldn’t be obvious picks. I already have most of the team picked out, I just need help figuring out how to build each member and who specifically to make the trick room setter.

Team currently consists of:
Hatterene
Armarouge
Metagross
Kingambit

The pokemon I’m considering adding are kangaskhan, tyranitar, grimmsnarl, whimsicott, hydrapple, and dragapult.

Of course I know not all of these are exactly good picks but they’re what I have available right now, plus are kind of what I’m looking for because the lack of usage may throw opponents off.

And when I say “semi-trick room” I mean that no matter the team comp in each battle, it can function well both in and out trick room.

So which two(of the listed pokemon I’m considering) would be the best additions to the team and what are some good builds/build plans(or roles, tank, damage, support, etc) for a few of the pokemon on the team.

And of course I’m not asking to have the whole team built for me, if I was going to do that I’d just ask chatgpt or something.

I’ve been using this team for a bit and I’ve not sure what to change. Please don’t recommend kingambit, gholdengo, incin, or sneasler

I'm woring on a mega staraptor based team with the second mega being raichu y, I have run it through simulations and found out the only mon that poses a threat is another raichu y to the straptor as with whimsi using fake tears on star it still doesn't survive a base zap cannon, I've been looking for better mons for this team and this is the final result, any pointers on how i can tweak this?

Im trying to make a bo3 team. I might swap high horsepower i just need to test it

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.

PROBLEMS

1. I struggle alot if my opponent have bascu especially on late game

2. I have 2 psychic, 2 water and 2 fairy

3. Milotic is gone if opponent have max spa modest rotom wash thundebolt

WHAT HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR ME

Gardevoir can survive a non boosted flash cannon from archa

Can 2 shot an opposing metagross with my stomping truntum metagross

Can deal with rain teams on early game

Can deal with staraptor teams with the lead gardevoir and milotic

hi guys i am new to vgc and i really like sweeping with torkoal eruption but vileplume is so slow im getting outsped by tailwind teams or just lose my weather to rain team, this is the team ive been running so far with garchomp to beat zard and kingambit for basc but i still get swept by swamperts and that bridge. any help is appriciated thx.
(note i would just play trickroom but i cant seem to get farigiraf or mawile)

I wanted to try building a team with these two, and I'm finding some success, but I'm also missing ground type coverage and meaningful speed control, how do y'all think we could tweak this

Howdy! I'm looking for help describing the weaknesses of my Raichu team. If possible, what do I have covered and especially what don't I? You're absolutely allowed to roast my team, choices, and set ups! I believe any insight might be beneficial, especially if it can help me get out of Great Ball Rank 1.

My team isn't BiS (Best in Slot) with abilities nor moves, but I'm low on VP because I can hardly get a win. I, unfortunately, am dedicated to this roster, but I'll still take note of the reason behind the suggestions.

Basculegion and Whimsicott are the two most recent grabs, followed by Farigiraf. Basculegion might have STAB Wave Crash, Head Smash for Fire types and maybe Flying, STAB Last Respects, and STAB Flip Turn or Surf. Whimsicott will have Tail Wind, either Protect or Helping Hands, STAB moves. Sinistcha will have Life Dew, STAB Hex, STAB Matcha Gatcha, and either Calm Mind or Protect. I need to give my Raichu Protect again and/or Dazzling Gleam.

I've built around Rain Team + Mega Swampert counters, including Trick Room, double Grass, and maybe base Lighting Bolt Raichu vs Rain Archie.

I have my Raichu speed to be exactly 1 higher than max speed Mega Staraptor, who is still a massive thorn in my side. Trick Room could be used here too, but I prefer Tailwind.

Basculegion and maybe Sinistcha for my Trick Room Eruption encounters.

One of my biggest problems is that none of my pokemon can Fake Out ghost types.

Basculegion and Mega Raichu Y in Trick Room vs Mega Aerodactl.

Quite a few scenarios theoretically covered! I'm just not that great, tho. Ghost types, bulky mons, and Mega Malamar counter me quite easily. Are there any ideas on what I could change (besides the mons) to fix some of these issues? 🙂

Suggest some good teams
(Orrr should I just follow that GamerNotFound's master team?)
My ocd hasnt let me invest anything in any mons till now
So it's like a completely new team

This is the team i threw together and its been performing pretty good. But im sure the moves items and evs can be more optimized and would like the feedback of more experienced players. And i of course will test it more to tweak but i wont catch a lot of things especially the evs. Maybe if something dies too early ill add in some hp lmao
Considerstions:
1. coaching on sneasler but idk which move to drop
2. Thunder or ice punch on metagross
3. I switched eq to stomping tantrum but idk if thats the move. I maybe need a protect on whimsicott to make eq better.

Thx 4 any feedback

I have all the Pokémon available, but I can't find a good team for Mega Gengar.

I need help I’m stuck in great ball

I've only played Pokemon casually but I have a full Pokemon Home and my friends have inspired me to get into competitive but i'm having a lot of trouble finding a team to play. I'm pretty unfamiliar with how setups and things go.

If anyone could please recommend me teams & maybe send me some resources on how to play them to send me in the right direction i'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance

I don’t want to have to use meta mons but idm. Not entirely new to Pokémon just new to champions

Looking for a 6th slot mainly, I just added sneasler as an incineroar counter because i didnt know what else to add.

This is the current team I’ve been running. As you can, it is very physical. I’ve been thinking to change that up but I’m not sure what to take out or put in so I’d like some advice

So how I usually run the team is I bring aerodactyl and incin 90% of the time. For the last 2 I’d bring one of the megas and the other attacker. Usually mega tyranitar with garchomp or mega metagross with annihilape. Occasionally I would sit out aerodactyl or incin for the other non mega pokemon depending on the situation.

Now here’s the problem. As I said, it’s all physical and I’ve been feeling the problem more and more because of Archaludon. It is very inconsistent for me. Sometimes I can get rid of it quickly with annihilape, sometimes I can’t and I lose to that bridge. Basically either I kill it quick or I dont and just lose.

Another problem that’s not so ofter is mega froslass. I sometimes win the weather war with tyranitar, sometimes I use metagross to kill it, but nothing concrete. It is very inconsistent.

So yeah, that’s basically it. I need a special attacker or two that can solve the problems but also still fit in with the rest of the team. But I dont know who to take out or who to put in. So I’m looking for help. Any advice is welcome 🙏
