Dragonite-Delphox Dual Mega Team Feedback

https://pokepast.es/1abc6fe7fc3c1521.

I wanted to make a team around my favourite pokemon, Dragonite. I have used dragonite in the past a lot during reg I, and a bit in reg M-A but I had never used mega dragonite.

Its a dual mega team with dragonite and delphox alongside a supporting cast of side characters... and tinkaton.

I want help and feedback generally abt the team, especially in relation to mega dragonite and tinkaton. I think mega dragonite could do without protect but I ain't sure and I feel like mold breaker tinkaton would be rly funny as I could fake out farig but yet again I ain't sure.

This is both a prototype and an unserious team, but if I like how mega dragonite feels I might choose to make a less gimmicky team around it.

Help Building a Gardevoir Team

https://pokepast.es/433611dbe8d6b3aa.
I made a gardevoir focused team, after spending a lot of time trying out options like volcorona, farigraf, tauros, dragonite and glimmora.

The current team feels pretty decently strong but I do not have any leads prepared, my team is rly weak to fake out + setup and the number of innacurate moves on the team is rly annoying.

I am using aerial ace rather than dual wingbeat so that I miss less often. The imbalance between physical and special pokemon is annoying but I am not sure what I can replace in order to remove said imbalance. I used volcorona earlier and it has pretty good synergy with gard but I found that I was better at using incin over it.

I am asking for general advice with the issues mentioned and if possible, help finding leads

Making Pangoro Viable: TR Team Help

I want to make Pangoro viable as i think i checks most current meta mons. It needs tr, thats why i chose to build a team around it. The team is still incomplete as i need a good option for the last slot. Havent gone into EVs because i forst want to build the core before i deep dive in to the different spreads.

The current team is Farigiraf to enable TR, as it is the best TR setter.
After that its obviously our Panda, he checks basc, gambit, chomp and also has the possibility to check ZardY with rock slide.
Following that are hatterene and torkoal as those two are very strong TR sweeper, also with hatterene i have another TR setter.
The fifth slot goes to Mega Venu to check fairy and water types which arent covered in the team otherwise. Also there is the option to run it without mega into sun of torkoal.

Now i need help to optimize this team and fill up the last slot.

I thought about taking in a second mega so i can cover the mega slot when i use venu in sun without mega. But i'm not sure which to use...

So what are your thoughts about this team? I appreciate everyone who participates in here to make that panda go wild!! Thanks in advance!

Espathra-Boosted Mega Glimmora & Dragonite Idea

https://pokepast.es/d3578c6f6ede983e

Thinking about what I can do with the Espathra I already have built while I don't own Eternal Floette nor Archaludon. Also been wanting to think of fun, non-meta teams.

Came up with this Mega Glimmora/Dragonite idea.

In general, this is the structure:
espathra - lead
talonflame - lead
a-ninetales - core 1
mega glimmora - core 1
sneasler - core 2
dragonite - core 2

Would love thoughts on what would be the big weaknesses that I might be missing or even if probably would not worl at all. Still haven't even tested in Showdown yet, so please be gentle.

Secondary Trick Room Setter Advice

https://pokepast.es/c70f96f5e9af8fc2
looking to potentially change primarina to a 2nd TR setter and probably 1 that can do some dmg as well.
thought ab adding gallade but i dont know if he can keep up with the current meta(specifically bassc and floette which i dont really have sufficient answers too)
would likeother suggestions and critic
ps this team is not fully original and is based largely on poke on a team i saw on yt with sneasler instead of prim

Espathra Baton Pass Targets & Team Tips

Looking to build a team around Espathra with speed boost using coaching or calm mind to baton pass into another threat. The thing I’m having trouble with, though, is I don’t know what to baton pass into. Any tips?

Bulky Archaludon Rain Team Discussion

Here's my team. I have questions about what moves they should have, as well as my last team slot.

  • Is mega glimmora a bad 2nd mode mega? Its purpose is to help wallbreak sand and sun teams to let archaludon enter the final 2v2 with rain up.
  • Pelliper needs tailwind if I go mega glimmora, might drop wide guard. For now would muddy water fit my plans better than weather ball?
  • Better situational final member?
  • Maushold population bomb vs beat up?

Reuniclus Trick Room Team Help

so I made this silly but fun Reuniclus team because I want to make it work. Probably will switch Espathra from Speed Boost to Opportunist. I thought it would be cool to have that option in case I don't want to use trick room, but I've been always using it so it's quite a mess.

If anyone has any tips on how to improve it, it's greatly appreciated

Copycat Guide: Tips for VGC Battles

Copycat is a fun move here is why

It is a non sucker punchable move even after copying another move if using prankster liepard for example.

Copycat will target the # LAST MOVE OF THAT TURN (if its the next turn and you click copy cat it will use the last move of the previous turn)

the targetting will only randomly hit your opponents so you cannot copy cat and side pollen puff from it

Copy cat also can get cancelled out by taunt. So please position your copy cats better

A funny copy cat strategy is actually a mon using boom burst than sylveon using copy cat which is pixilate boosted

Copy cat is only in the following evolution lines

Wigglytuff, mr mime, Jynx, Eeveelutions, clefable
Delcaty, Plusle/minum, spinda, sudowoodo, lucario, mespirit, mimikyu, marshadow, dubwoo, maushold, squawkabily and flamigo!

Try to incorporate it into your team maybe! Its a very fun move!
