Anti-Meta Meowscarada Team Build | Pokémon VGC Strategy

OK SO weird team moment chat! I am so unsure if this is even good but Meowscarada is actually a big threat to a ton of Pokemon that I quite like a lot but past the title clickbait, this is a dual mega team with Mega Raichu Y and Mega Delphox that I personally would want to get some advice on in which Pokemon to switch or how to improve the spreads of, any feedback appreciated.

Beat Trick Room Yaichu Team Advice

Currently run Yaichu (Fake/GKnot/FBlast/Zap) with just like what core mons are meta (Gambit/Sneas/Chomp/Whims/Incin). However I've realized that I struggle offensively against trick room because I havent set up leads that can take out TR setters like farig/tomb. THis is partially because of moveset mistakes (i have been running low kick on gambit and spunch is my only dark time move, which means it struggles to kill farig/tomb for example, which means I cant get enough offensive pressure to prevent TR from going off.

Sneas runs standard fake/dire/combat/tect white herb unburden
chomp runs stomp/iron head/breaking swipe/rock slide life orb rough skin (i keep forgetitng to change sand veil to rough skin because I was running him with ttar but ill do it on next login)
whims runs blast/tailwind/tect/encore sash
gambit runs low kick (considering a change to kowtow cleave since Ive used low kick a total of one time), spunch, iron head, swords dance
incin runs blitz/parting/fake/wisp

so any advice regarding moves, EV's (same old EV's on these mons as the ones you commonly find on ladder right now), or pokemon swaps or how to lead into TR would be appreciated

Sun Sweeper Team: Blaziken Torkoal Help

The rough idea is:
- Torkoal sets sun and can sweep with Vileplume utilizing after you.
- Blaziken is using the mega stone since I couldn’t think of a mega to fill the slot, I’m aware life orb would be better.
- Alcremie can use decorate to buff Blaziken through detect/protect. This gives a free speed boost, and a +2 in its attack stat.
- Kingambit is here as an alternate lead w/Blaziken/safe switch for Alcremie, can also be placed next to vileplume for after you kowtow or iron head spam.
- Torkoal could also be supportive with helping hand, I’m running a bulkier set to have longevity
- I have no fucking clue what to do with Sinistcha, nor what to replace it with, potentially another mega?? Idek
Any helps appreciated!! :3

I HATE rng

I’ve been climbing ladder, and been going up in ranks (middle of mb3 rn) but rng has been making me really mad. I’m trying to build a team with no inaccurate moves on it, what changes should I make? I know this version is horrible

Mastering Trick Room: Mega Camerupt & Slowbro VGC Guide

So this team is doing something. By all means it has glaring weaknesses that should make it not work. No ground or grass resist +2 weakness, 3 bug weaknesses. It is currently 9-2 w-l in mb3 and I went from 170k to 70k tonight. Main game plan is lead farig/kangas to fake out any big damage threats (including ghost) then trickroom. Kill my own kangas through recoil and damage then send in camerupt or slowbro. Camerupt is instant damage were slowbro is slow and careful. In reality it kinda acts like the threat but farig or whoever is next to slowbro is doing most the damage while he sponges or sweeps later.

I would appreciate some ranks for this one and opinions but otherwise happy figured I’d drop it here for lols
