I recently registered a tournaments that has a special challenge which we cannot bring any items and megas so I thought that a team built around palafin might be a great idea, I need a suggestion and recommendation guys. Feel free to give me advice

By trying to follow all the regulations in this group I would like to have to say something first.

I am really bad at team making, not horrible but I wouldn’t say I’m good when it comes to curtain aspects. I need help building the ENTIRE team, I have a start point and a few suggestions and I know it’s silly to follow only your fav pokemon but those are my morals.

1. I refuse to use Incin or King or Sneasler
2. It could be any team honestly, I just want to keep the pink aspect and use my fav mons.
3. You could change any of the moves for it to be either hyper aggressive or stall or even trick room.

Any help would be gladly appreciated and if you can have fun making my team or viewing it thank you and please enjoy.

After many changes and adjustments, i have finally completed my hard trick room team ft. Mega Camerupt and Mega Scraggy.
Here is the team: https://pokepast.es/578f4ac58c9df6c4

Im trying to make a team that includes both Lucario and Mega Loppuny. I would love to get help with stats and what moves to equip. Also need help with what other Pokémon i should include on the team and these Pokémons movesets and stats

Can anyone help me in building a team using the mons in the below mentioned. It is for some tournament where no Meta and Megas are allowed. https://haru-exe.github.io/forkthemetapokedex/

Im offering Necrozma for it

Hi! I'm not new to VGC, but I don't have any connections to anyone in the community. I haven't been able to bounce ideas off of anyone for my Baltimore regionals team, so I was hoping for any advice as to how to improve the concept.

Here's the pasted team so far: (https://pokepast.es/5090b50f1dfb90f4) (I've tried other versions but this one is the most used for me)

Here's the breakdown

The team is based around Charizard Y/ Toxapex. They cover for each other really well, and with support from the other mons on the team I'm able to create a solid game plan for mostly anything I come across.

Sylveon+ Whimsicott is an alternate lead that I use for Archaludon rain teams and other archetypes where Charizard/Whims and Charizard/Tox look harder to use. With lots of fast/powerful spread damage I can soften up the field for Charizard and friends to clean up and win the weather war.

Garchomp adds another layer to the team as well. It's really bulky (my specific spread lets it survive an opposing max attack Life Orb Garchomp Dragon Claw) and helps my matchup into mega Delphox, Tyranitar/sand and Mega Raichu Y, all of which Toxapex really struggles against. Against such teams I often lead Garchomp/whimsicott to set tailwind and compensate for my garchomp's lower speed, and once I eliminate the main threat I get Charizard in and finish the game.

I've made it as high as top 2,000 in Master Ball, but I'm currently around 15,000-ish

Even though this team works okay, I feel like it's still not in its final form. I wanna be as prepared as I can be for Baltimore, and I realize it's starting to become unproductive just bouncing ideas around in my head without any outside feedback. Sylveon and Whimsicott don't work all the time, so I've considered swapping Sylveon for floette. I've also played around with adding Venusaur as either an alternate mega or a fast coverage sweeper in the sun, but none of these ideas are fully fleshed out.

Pls help if you can, ty for reading:)

https://pokepast.es/create My fav team to run rn that I made, having lots of fun with it. It's doing decently well, im getting around 1550~ elo on showdown (havent tested it much on champions yet). My usual leads are delphox + maus, Delpox + farig, Manectric + farig, and sylveon + Manectric. I find this team very, very, fun, and I wanna know if there are any more calcs or spreads for delphox and sylveon (im a bit more inexperienced with them) or anything i should be aware about.

Lf someone who will hold my hand through all aspects of competitive Pokemon like team building review good teams and normal coaching

I have Shiny Garchomp, Shiny Swampert, Shiny Greninja, Shiny Tyranitar, Shiny Slowbro and normal vivillon ocean pattern

Anti meta helioisk team

1st of all the start Helioisk
Helioisk has a great ability SOLAR POWER
With this ability he can ohko even yards that are trained to survive a rock slide
The spa is the minimum to kill swampert and yard
Speed is enough to outspeed and kill mega aero and scarf bascu (both at max speed jolly) and the moves are:
Thunderbolt: Big damage with stab
Voltswitch: Mandatory in electric choice items users
Electro web: Speed control option and great against sash mon (aero)
Grass Knot: Really good for swampert

Yard
Standard set
With a lot of speed and not many special attack investment

Chomp
Trained to kill other chomps
Max speed so he can be the fastest chomp
Eq so he can pair well with yard

Whim
Max speed timid so she can set up tw first
Encore for people trying to see in which move heli locks in
And moon blast for scarf chomps mainly

Metagross the perfect duo with helio
The main metagross weakness is yard so he combines well with helioisk
Moves are pretty standar but I dropped bullet punch for strompring tantrum cause if I run both steel and psychic only moves I can’t hit the stupid gambits
Enough speed to outspeed max speed adamant raptors and enough attack to ohko them (also he has a pretty good chance to survive gambit moves)

Gambit really standard
Dropped sucker because my team is really weak against fari sylevon
1 point in speed so I outspeed other gambits

I decided I want to revisit my first team in champions being the mega-gengar and kommo-o pairing. Right now, I am restarting from scratch using the duo. Scarf ninetales is here to fix my garchomp matchups even if they are choice scarfed. A few issues i've come along during this process is deciding what gengar's last move should be (taunt slot), whether to keep moonblast on ninetales, and last 3 members to choose from that could enable my mega gengar mode and/or pivot to another strategy (trick room for example) if mega Gengar does not work for the matchup.

uhhhh yeah tr team
Possibly for a tournament
Havent seen any problems with it yet
Thoughts and maybe fixes?

I also don’t mine the Fire bros dual of offensive Incin and Torkoal I am obviously adding a lot of ground weaknesses to the team so maybe it’s not the best idea. Thanks for the help in advance.

One of my fav megas but i really dont know what to pair it with

Hii everyone
Im looking for some help to finish this team
The idea is to use encore w whimiscott and disable w mega gengar to cause oppoents to struggle and w mega gengar shadow tag their bascially trapped
Now one major weakness is dark types(incin kingambit ttar) who are immune to prankster and can hit gengar for super effective damage so im looking for an answer for that

Just for shits and giggles, I want to see if I can make a decent team off of the least used megas (based on limitless tcg data. Bottom two this season are apparently... Mega Barbaracle and Mega Emboar. Oh boy.

Right away we have some problems. Both are weak to ground, water, and psychic. Not great types to be weak to all in all. Additionally, they are both in a very awkward speed tier at 75 and 88 speed. Lastly, Emboar can't really hit ground types and Barbaracle can't really hit water types.

This is my solution:

Barbaracle: This guy has one thing going for him and thats tough claws+shell smash. After a shell smash, the only mons in the format he can't ohko reliably are basculegion and M-Venusaur (M-dragonite too but that doesnt count). We can't afford to miss any moves and so, unfortunately, we are dropping our rock attack. Poison Jab/Brick Break/ Liquidation/ Shell Smash. Max Attack, Max HP, and 2 Sp Def. No speed investment because after a ShellSmash we outspeed most anything but scarf chomp and scarf hydreigon. But to set up Shell Smash we need some help.

Emboar: Before we get to the support, lets look at emboar. Our best bet for this lad is probably to run min speed and use TR. 85 speed is still faster then we want to be but it is workable. This decision means we can shove 32 points straight into his DEF to allow us to potentially survive such hits as M-Aero dual wingbeat, talon flame dual wingbeat, and H-Arcanine Head Smash. We can shore up our weakest stat and boost our strongest with bulk up. It also gives us something to do incase they double our TR setter. Drain punch combos well with bulk up to keep emboar around, Heat Crash give us a fire attack without recoil (and in most matchups where fire matters, it will be the same base power, this only really hurts our venusaur matchup (Also, did you know mold breaker means that Emboar Flareblitz OHKO's M-Venusaur?) Sucker punch gives us coverage into psychic and ghosts and a form of priority.

1/several

Have played almost none of this season cause M-B was feeling quite stale. Thought about what I felt like had a good matchup into much of the field and landed on Charizard X. This was because of his unique type combination of fire and dragon and his decent physical bulk.

Offensively, Charizard can hit 5 types super effectively (Steel and Dragon being the most important here) and no 1 type resists both his STABS. Defensively, with a quad resist to grass and fire, sun teams are at a heavy disadvantage from the start. With fire mitigating the fairy weakness gained by dragon, we only have 3 remaining weaknesses in dragon, rock and ground. While rock coverage is everywhere, we are bulky enough to survive a rock slide or two naturally. Ground can be mitigated by delaying your mega evolution while dragon dancing, and while opposing dragons are an issue, a single dragon dance allows us to outspeed and OHKO the relevant dragons in the meta as long as they aren't scarfed.

To support ZardX we want someone who has access to fake out pressure so we can set up dragon dance more safely, and a way to pivot to out to facilitate the rest of our supporting cast. Clearly, the best choice for the job, we are bringing ~~Incineroar~~ Grimmsnarl. We are using grimmsnarl. Why not the best supporting pokemon ever made? Well, overlapping fire typing is not the most appreciated here, and while intimidate is nice, the dragon immunity, fairy STAB, and prankster make this a bit of a no brainer. Fake out for disruption, reflect to weaken those pesky rock and ground moves (mostly), spirit break for helping against opposing dragons, and parting shot for priority pivoting.

Now, ZardX is great, but is no powerhouse like ZardY, and we will need a second Mega. We have many options here, but frankly, none better than the BIRD.

Hii im new to teambuilding and im looking for help to round out this team(thinkin of using this team for a tournament or laddering maybe)
I need help choosing setup mons who can take advantage of the screens redirection and fake out support and can cover for the original trio supports weaknesses
Any suggestions would be helpful!!
