Guys I am stuck in Ub3 for past 4hr , what adjustment or pokemon change should I do ?
Trade responsibly. Ask questions first. Only accept an offer you are comfortable with.
No selling Pokémon. No scamming.
Either will result in a ban.
Be honest about what you are offering. Do not knowingly misrepresent a Pokémon’s origin or legitimacy.
All trades are conducted at your own risk.
Staff do not facilitate, guide or supervise trades, and we will not check or authenticate your Pokémon.
Feel free to ask questions in chat before trading. Community advice is not a guarantee of legitimacy.
If you intend to use a Pokémon in an official tournament, do not source it from an unregulated trade channel.
Catch it yourself or ask a trusted community member for help obtaining it. Make sure you understand where it came from before using it competitively.
If you later discover that you received a genned Pokémon, moderators will not authenticate it, arrange a replacement or reverse the trade.
You are responsible for the offers you accept. Staff cannot resolve uncertainty about a Pokémon’s history after you have agreed to trade.
Evidence of deliberate scamming can still be reported to staff. A report does not guarantee recovery of your Pokémon.
Genned Pokémon are created using external tools. Pokémon can also be edited or cloned.
A Pokémon can have possible stats, moves and encounter details while still having been created or altered outside normal gameplay.

- # Community reference — not an official tournament rulebook.
Shiny, Level 100, EV trained or in a rare ball does not automatically mean genned. Trainer IDs and ribbons also need context.
No visual checklist guarantees legitimacy. Knowing where a Pokémon came from matters more than how convincing it looks.
Use a game you already own to catch Pokémon or breed them where supported.
Ask in chat for help with locations, encounter methods or spare breeding parents.
Free to start, with Pokémon you can catch yourself.
Eligible Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Transfer energy replenishes over time, so you can wait instead of paying.
Transfers are one-way, and compatibility restrictions apply.

GO → HOME transfer guide
The mobile app’s free Basic Plan includes limited access to the GTS and Wonder Box.
These can help fill collection gaps, but receiving a Pokémon through HOME does not guarantee legitimacy.
How Pokémon HOME trading works
Ask whether another member has a spare Pokémon or breeding offspring they are happy to give away.
Explain what you need, ask about its origin and respect their answer.
Free does not automatically mean legitimate. For tournament Pokémon, prioritise a source you can trust.
Id like any advice about sets, or possible different directions the team could go in, like should I switch any moves, items, stat spreads, etc. Also should I use different megas? Overall though Id also like to know whether or not its fine as is. Any opinions are much appreciated.
I will do 2:1 for the golisopod.
I've always wanted to use mega chomp since seeing it cuz hes so cool. Though, when others saw failure in Levitate, I saw opprotunity. My main idea is to equake spam with Exca next to MEGA CHOMP Z, and have a overall very offensive sand team, with defense where needed.
Mega Chomp. Let's start with it's strenghts. It's incredibly fast, it hits decently hard, and is immune to ground moves. Pure Dragon resits a lot, like Yard heatwave, grassy glide and wood hammer, Wave crash and aqua jet, Flare blitz, and so on. He has coverage that hits a lot in this format, like Power Gem for dem Yards and Flamethrower for dem Golisopods and Rillabooms. I sadly need full-ish special attack to manage to ohko these threats, but it works out great. With his speed this high, I build it to outspeed Mega Frosslass, Sneasler, Salamence and other stuff in that tier. Now, he struggles a lot into floette, not being able to hit it back, while usually getting OHKOed by any touch of fairy moves. It loses ground stab, and keeps that high attack stat without it being used. So these are what we need to find in good teamates.
Ttar. Ttar is here to setup the sand and hopefully get a Ddance or 2, then rockslide to oblivion. It walls frosslass, which is incredibly nice for this guy, and hits overall really hard, with the added bonus of item removal. Ttar has always been a complete menace with one glaring weakness: Fighting types, but most of the relavent fighting types cripple to Garchomp + Excadrill anyways. (Kommo-o, sneasler, etc) Ttar is holding the Tyranitarite due to lack of better or more valuable item.
Excadrill. Oh boy, life orb boosted earthquakes hit hard. Excadrill is my main damage source, with sand rush and life orb hitting extreemly hard. I moved some points from speed into HP so grassy glide is less game-ending, and I have X-Scissor to hit those Rillabooms back. I know, rock slide is way better, but I have rock moves on both the mentioned mon already. It hits Floette, so that helps.
i've built a core of salamence, floette and rillaboom so far but i'm not sure who to add
Mega Salamence-
He is suppost to be that base of my team being able to nuke serious threats but also able to tank hits too. he is also able to support the team with tailwind
Rillaboom-
i want him to be providing support through fake out and grassy terrain support while being able to tank hits and hit decently hard with grass moves
Floette-
she is suppost to support rillaboom by preventing him from getting intimidated while still being very threatning through strong spread damage. I am unsure about evs and move set tho
issues-
i have a bad matchup into kingambit, mawile, archaludon, gholdengo, and metagross
also i don't want to use sneasler, kingambit, incineroar, archaludon, gholdengo, golisopod or swampert
Can anyone tell what to change

Im thinking something like this? that sneasler slot idk what else i could put, i have been toying with the idea of aichu but im not fully sold
Building with OTS Bo3 in mind (regionals)
Looking for a completely new team for Singles, Honestly I never surpassed Great Ball Rank 4, so if I even get past that I'll be happy
https://pokepast.es/e7d7ebadd1bbbe05
Tried to build it more fun wise but it can still work tho also looking at running a rain setter and not setting it manually but will probably improve the team
Any ideas appreciated
Hellooo I want to build a team around mega golispod for a tournament/laddering
Ive got an intinal idea but im open for any suggestions or changes the team could undertake
Heres my little explanation of the team
(Evs are not finalized)
M-GOLISPOD
Hes very bulky so im thinking of using him as a bulky setup sweeper with swords dance
Strong stabs with first impression and iron head and priority w sucker punch this guy is gonna do DAMAGE
PELIPPER
Is here to set the rain up which cuts the damage of fire moves which golispod loves
Tailwind and wideguard for good utility and hurricane and weatherball for some good stabs
Sitrus for good recovery
ARCHADUALON
If youve got rain arch is here to stay
With leftovers giving good recovery
Flash cannon and dragon pulse for good stabs electro shot to snowball to power up that special atk and protect to keep arch safe
M-SWAMPERT
And swampert just LOVES rain and can be brought for matches golispod hates
Wave crash high horsepower and ice punch for good coverage and protect
GRIMMSNARL
Hes here to increase my team overall bulk and be very dispurtive with parting shot light screen and foul play and spirit break
Why i didnt go for reflect is because since my two main megas are physically bulky(so is arch) and spirit break could help aganist fighting dark and dragon types
SINISTCHA
Here for healing w its ability matcha gotcha for some spread damage (since ive got none)
Trick room which can help enable golispod(and aganist tr teams) and so can rage powder and protect
Coba berry to help aganist the rain mirror
Thanks for reading and all suggestions will be appreciated!!!
I'm helping a new player to build a team under these new regulations because he just started in VGC Champions. Any help with viable teams is appreciated
Can offer these
Or just garbage on pokemon home but since the pokemon I ask is very common I wanted to know if anyone to eve it
i am champions only so i dont rly have anything to give back but i would love the help getting these 3
I made a second mega Baxcalibur team. i decided to build another one becouse i Am not so sure could My first Be that good.
I think this IS a good one too. I just like testing different things with My favorite Baxcalibur 
now when IT finally arrives to Champions.
Dont know If i should replace salamance for staraptor. 
becouse i Benefit more
From fighting type in this team + i think staraptor IS better non mega supporter.
This IS now balance tailwind team with great pieces like Aurora veil, tailwind, fake out good coverage and More.
Really want to hear your opinion!
