I am sending in the stats and moves and abilities so here they are
Need help figuring out my singles team (also looking for a coach)
This is a vgc server but anyway

Hmm. Why Bellibolt?
gng this is a champions server, not just vgc lol
Ejem

Also why Synthesis on Venusaur?
not running fighting moves on infernape the first thing you need to fix
only pick one healing move between giga drain, synthisis, and leech seed
Oh. Just saw that. Slack Off?...
Leech Seed AND Giga Drain are fine. You can set up Leech Seed on switch ins then switch Venusaur out.
But you definitely don't need Leech Seed and Synthetic.
overheat is not good on zard, neither is flamethrower. run weather ball instead
why protect on sneasler?
Could run a hyper aggro Venusaur since you want to run Char...
Solar Beam, Earth Power, Sludge Bomb,
also replace sludge bomb with sludge wave
it just hits harder
Yeh, wave
what if they dont bring zard? solar beam isnt that good anymore
it seems to be more of a mix
Well, you can't run aggro Venusaur without sun set up. It really wants Chlorophyll.
But yeah, Sludge Wave and Earth Power are needed regardless.
Technically there is even a rule about only vgc teams lol
Or was
yeah i jus checked, i thought i was going crazy lol
just says the current format
Swore there was when I joined a month ago...anyway
Still not sure what Bellibolt is supplying to the team.
This right here is a problem
Rotom-W more or less fixes it.
Two common types and one of the best coverage types being 3 mons weak to it is leaving you open to getting dumpstered
What is infernape adding to this
I am a little confused about what the Infernape is trying to accomplish...
I am too
Rotom wash for Infernape would literally solve so many issues
Rotom-W>Bellibolt
I think life orb Jolteon does more lol
Like throwing a slow pokemon on hyper offense doesn't sound good to me
Unless it's name is toxapex
Doesn't look like Hyper Offense to me.
Charizard, hydreigon, Infernape, sneasler is not hyper offense
Bellibolt and Venusaur
Also Infernape has Slack Odd
And max atk and speed
So like idk chief
Looks like an attempt at Balance to me.
But the abundance of Protect tells me VGC brain is making it hard.
There is an easy way to be sure...
Oi! What kinda team ya even want?
Ping me when ya get back.
I just want a team that can win and I wanna use bellibolt
... Hmm. Those might be exclusive things.
How about j show you all the mons I have and you can help me from there
May as well, it can't hurt.
Hmm.
You need an answer to a few specific threats.
Char Y, Mega Metagross, Mega Staraptor, Garchomp and Basculegion.
For char y I could use kleavor I guess
Uh
Idk
Absolutely not, Char Y way outspeeds. Had to double check that one.
You'll be scarf on klevor
Not scarfing Hydreigon is a bad idea though.
Araquanid probably the only option you have for Charizard
although it'll be weak to air slash
Or belly drum Snorlax works too i guess
Snorlax isn't a good answer to Char Y. I tried that. It REALLY wants Assault Vest to try and fill that role.
yeah but bro really don't have alot to work with
Might just have to nuke it with Draco Meteor from Hydreigon then swap out.
I have more mons just not in champions
My bad
How about raichu
Raichu has to Mega for it to have any value at all. Not ideal.
Unless your team is built around it specifically.
Jolteon is great. Soundly outspeeds and breaks Char Y.
Well good for me I have one
You'll want it Timid and run it with a Life Orb, so it can reliably threaten Mega Staraptor too.
What moves should I run on jolteon and what
Ability
Hmm...
If you're dedicated to running Char Y, you can take advantage of the fact Sun will be up most of the time.
Discharge or Thunderbolt are both fine to run. They will both OHKO Zard or Staraptor, but Thunderbolt is safer if someone feels like they can skate by by bulking up their defenses. Safer margin of kill.
Weather Ball under Sun will OHKO Mega Metagross most of the time.
Volt Switch is good for chip damage.
Last slot is filler... Alluring Voice can hurt Garchomp or erase Hydreigon, Shadow Ball chunks down Mega Metagross if sun isn't up, could also run Yawn to force a switch or sleep as utility.
... As for ability, you want Volt Absorb most of the time, so it can switch in on Archaludon in the rain safely. It probably won't kill it, but it can at least do some chip damage or Yawn it. Quick Feet is very situational sadly.
Ok
The flamboyant duck isn't a horrible yard answer
