Sand Box Suggestions Sandstorm Trick Room Help

The attached photos are my current team that I am hardstuck Ultra Ball 4 on right now. Overall I love playing sandstorm + trick room but I have some issues I would like help resolving.

  • Having three support Pokemon all holding healing items makes it feel like their support longevity is not being used properly.

  • Having three support Pokemon in general makes me feel like I don’t have enough firepower.

  • Mega Steelix I thought I saw potential in as a Trick Room threat, but I’ve been leaving it behind more and more as it just gets ignored or doesn’t have the right amount of bulk to survive even physical hits properly.

  • I tend to struggle against Archaludon, Mega Dragonite, Basculegion (Dual Dragon Rain).

Any and all advice would be appreciated! (I miss Gigalith…)

Broken Floette Snow Balance Team

https://pokepast.es/8b5252390aa8c311

I’ve been playing a little champions and figured I would put this here. Floette seemed pretty insane given the lack of good Steel-types in this metagame, and LoR OHKOing pretty much every neutral target in the tier due to the lack of AV or good fast Snarl users. Kommo-o has also been surprisingly effective, it likes all the support Floette does but has a completely opposite matchup chart. Kommo-o demolishes Steel-types and weather teams while Floette deals with… just about everything else (this pokemon is broken). On top of their synergy Kommo-o also gives you an extremely rare Sleep Powder immunity with Overcoat, making the Sun matchup relatively trivial.

Notes:
- Incineroar is meant to have Darkest Lariat for M-Delphox but the paste is outdated
- Kommo-o is Haban Berry for Archaludon specifically and not much else… what else are you gonna put on it?
- Ninetales is a surprisingly effective late game cleaner with fast Blizzard because of how low the power level is, don’t count it out
- Sinistcha lives Aerodactyl Dual Wingbeat and can Trick Room on it, though its mainly there to reverse opposing Trick Rooms

I think the team is solid, I’m just not great at piloting it. Feedback is fine but I’m mainly posting it so others can try it, its probably the most solid Floette six I’ve tried

Rain x Mega Starmie Team Breakdown

https://pokepast.es/49a46a615e97b9da

Pelipper: Rain and Tailwind setter. Usually leading with Starmie. Sash almost guarantees I get off a Tailwind, Weather Ball + Hurricane for coverage. Considering putting Rain Dance on this to counter other weather setters but I'm not quite sure how to fit it in.

Archaludon: Physical wall, first line of defense after either Pelipper/Starmie go down to clean up. I feel like my set could be better but not sure how, oddly enough I feel like I never get to use my Electro Shot but I'm unsure about removing it.

Basculegion: Ideally end-game sweeper via Last Respects.

Starmie: Star of the show. I prefer Waterfall over the +5 BP from Liquidation, Starmie's usually outspeeding and that 20% flinch chance has helped numerous times. Other than Arch, everyone on the team can shield from Self-Destruct in one way or another, which is quite useful on Starmie's last turn. Speed EVs are specifically allocated to outspeed a max Speed investment Mega Charizard Y, and Waterfall still OHKOs it in sun.

Oranguru: Special wall, usually lead with him if I anticipate Pelipper/Starmie is a bad leading choice. Dual screens is still useful even without Light Clay. Instruct is an incredible pairing with Mega Starmie. Knock Off is kind of a throwaway? Probably would be more useful if there were more items. Maybe Protect should go here?

P. Tauros Aqua: Brand new to the team. Anti-Archaludon with CC, Anti-Aurora-Veil with Raging Bull, Intimidate support. Walls & 2HKOs Incineroar in Rain even after it gets Intimidated.

Things I'm struggling against:
- Sun teams, especially the Zard Y + Whimsicott core. Starmie can beat Zard Y unless Prankster Tailwind goes off, then I'm screwed.
- Incineroar, Intimidate just ruins my Starmie's fun and somehow on a team with 4 water types I'm struggling to kill it. First time playing VGC and not enjoying fighting this thing.
- Archaludon. Haven't faced one since adding Tauros to my team.
