Skarmory Team Help VGC Doubles Advice

Want to start getting into double battles and I want to conserve some BP. I have a couple ideas for how I can use skarm but im not 100% sure if i should commit the point investment into these just yet. I have 2 pokepaste links that i have had put my 2 options for teams in but you can treat them like a combined list of pokemon if that helps.

I have more confidence in the second "team", but the main issue i have is that it doesnt have redirection support like sinistcha which might be fine but im unsure what to do against rain comps.

Building a Mono-Steel Team for Pokémon VGC Locals

My local shops are all doing custom formats for their mid-year celebration events, and the one today is using mono-type teams only. I came up with this mono-steel team and wanted to know your thoughts.

Optimize Your VGC Tailroom Team | Pokémon Champions

This team is very strong and has gotten me to around top 2000 on champions and top 60 on showdown. My main issue with the team right now is the mawile. Blastoise has been the star and I had mawile for matchups like floette but with all the support floette usually has it feels like mawile can’t effectively be the counter I wanted. Does anyone have any suggestions?

M Venusaur + M Aerodactyl Team Review

In Reg MA, i made a M Venusaur team, abusingits amazing matchups into meta threats by pairing it with partners that could deal with Psychic and Flying Types.
But now, in Reg MB, with Staraptor, i needed to rework my team, and i switched from a trick room centered team, i chose a Tailwind based M Aerodactyl team.

I want to know if there's anything i could optimise or change.
Incineroar has taunt because if not Trick Room destroys me.

The team is mainly Bulky Offense, using Twind to compensate in Speed.

M Venusaur, Rotom-W, Incineroar is main core, and Gholdengo is here because its incredible into Staraptor.

Staraptor + Sinistcha Toxic Combo Idea

https://pokepast.es/9457f0fe88adc55d

I started building a rain team with Staraptor then I realised Sinistcha gets psych up

The idea is buff up Staraptor then by time he needs to be healed by Sinistcha she can psych up and get the defence buffs..
Is it over kill to add whimsi for charm boosts?

Maybe incin for parting shot boosts to buff Sinistchas spatk 😂

Am I cooking here or we over cooked now??

Any other options im not thinking of??

A simple Master ball snow team i used to go mball from uball !
this teams relies heavily on the snow and abuses snow cloak ability of glaceon and mamoswine

1.mega froslass sets the snow and aurora veil , safeguard it if opponents have weather setters

2.glaceon , the mvp of the team , tanky , hits hard with blizzard , has snowcloak ability and brightpowder making 100 percent accurate moves close to 70 percent in snow

3.mamowsine with life orb , physical wall breaker and can dodge hits in snow too

4.grimmsnarl the best support pokemon , best for safe switches and fake outs , patring shots , reflect can be changed for other support move !

Mega Slowbro VGC Team Building Guide | Pokémon Champions

I’m working on building a good mega slowbro team and just need some advice on a few smaller parts of the team, otherwise I have it figured out for the most part. The team will be
- Slowbro
Holding slowbronite. Running iron defense, recover, amnesia, and body press. Probably regenerator
- Sableye
Item tbd. Running skill swap, other moves open. Prankster
- Kingambit
Holding leftovers. Running iron head, kowtow cleave, protect, and sucker punch. Supreme overlord
- H-Zoroark
Holding life orb. Running shadow ball, shadow sneak, protect, and hyper voice
- Sinistcha
Holding sitrus berry. Running rage powder, trick room, matcha gotcha, last open, probably protect. Hospitality
- Kangaskhan
Holding silk scarf. Running fake out and last resort. Scrappy

The plan is to give slowbro prankster with sableye then switch out sableye to sinistcha while slowbro sets up with iron defense and maybe amnesia if the opponent has a threatening special attacker. Once slowbro is set up it mega evolves(to get shell armor and prevent crits) and try to sweep with body press. Kingambit and zoroark are there to deal with ghost types(kingambit also to clean up late game). Kangaskhan is there for perish trap teams and just as good damage output. Sinistcha can use trick room if it’s necessary.

My questions are a) How should I EV slowbro. I figure max hp and split between def/spdf b) Is kangaskhan better with the option to mega evo? c) What other moves should I give sableye? Screens? Quash or torment maybe? and d) Anything else worth noting? Particular teams I should look out for(disregarding OHKO teams) Other moves or items I should switch around?

Champions Team Help: Improve Your VGC Squad

I started playing champions a few days ago and have just been changing up my team from the basic pikachu one you can choose.

Pretty much seeing a mon that would be a better fit I'll try it out and expand on it.

Probably ended up with the most basic team but I have no idea how to further improve, expand upon or replace.

So i figured why not get embarrassed and ask for help with my probably fairly basic team!
