I've only played Pokemon casually but I have a full Pokemon Home and my friends have inspired me to get into competitive but i'm having a lot of trouble finding a team to play. I'm pretty unfamiliar with how setups and things go.

If anyone could please recommend me teams & maybe send me some resources on how to play them to send me in the right direction i'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance

I don’t want to have to use meta mons but idm. Not entirely new to Pokémon just new to champions

this website is a must have for anyone trying to team build. Plug in your mons, listen to the suggestions across the board from moves to ev to Mon swaps and how it should be played. Let it analyze for you and make that ladder climb easier.

the main damage calculator I use to ensure my ev sets are exactly what I want them to be into specific matchups. Another must have for good team comp and educated play.

Not sure if a move is an ohko or even a 2hko? DO THIS QUIZ OVER AND OVER IN YOUR SPARE TIME! this helps you build those internal damage calcs to call on mid match! I cannot understate this one enough.

Looking for a 6th slot mainly, I just added sneasler as an incineroar counter because i didnt know what else to add.

This is the current team I’ve been running. As you can, it is very physical. I’ve been thinking to change that up but I’m not sure what to take out or put in so I’d like some advice

So how I usually run the team is I bring aerodactyl and incin 90% of the time. For the last 2 I’d bring one of the megas and the other attacker. Usually mega tyranitar with garchomp or mega metagross with annihilape. Occasionally I would sit out aerodactyl or incin for the other non mega pokemon depending on the situation.

Now here’s the problem. As I said, it’s all physical and I’ve been feeling the problem more and more because of Archaludon. It is very inconsistent for me. Sometimes I can get rid of it quickly with annihilape, sometimes I can’t and I lose to that bridge. Basically either I kill it quick or I dont and just lose.

Another problem that’s not so ofter is mega froslass. I sometimes win the weather war with tyranitar, sometimes I use metagross to kill it, but nothing concrete. It is very inconsistent.

So yeah, that’s basically it. I need a special attacker or two that can solve the problems but also still fit in with the rest of the team. But I dont know who to take out or who to put in. So I’m looking for help. Any advice is welcome 🙏

Was testing Sceptile with Bellibolt first, but it's important to have a faster duo and I had Rotom-Heat sitting in my box pretty much since I downloaded the game a month ago so better make use of it

The duo works really well and Mawile is another powerful mega option.

Aero provides Tailwind and Wide Guard support + very needed Rock and Flying coverage

Basc and Sneasler are just great powerful coverage + fake out support

Very straightforward, but should have room for improvement.

I'm thinking replacing Coaching for Protect would make more sense in this team and also Mystic Water instead of Sitrus on Basc is probably a stronger option.

Open for any kinds of suggestions!

I’ve been loving Big Root Sinistcha next to setup Metagross, but it feels like Kang doesn’t do well in mid game and like something is missing(Fire-Type?). Not sure how to replace here

I'm in Ultra Ball Tier Rank 4 (I've been stuck)

Mostly need help in the H. Zoroark and Dragonite slot, since I feel like they might not be the best fit for the team, or I'm just not using them correctly. Any other suggestions (strategy or move changes) are welcome though.

• I have Zoroark for Sneaslers and Trick Room teams. I planned on having Zoroark pretend to be Incineroar to bait fake out and close combat, but I forgot that it's obvious it's Zoroark because no intimidate (it did work against someone though lmao). Then for trick room I could just taunt the setter.
• I have Dragonite mostly for Garchomp, but it never really works and I get rock slide'd to death, and I never really bring Dragonite anyways.

I usually start Whimsicott + Incin, with Armarouge and Char Y in the back, pretty much always doing Tailwind + Fake Out first.

This team has mostly been struggling with Trick Room, opposing Incineroars, Garchomps, Sneaslers, and Sand teams.

Note: My best way of getting Pokemon is Pokemon GO 😭

This is really strong and really fun to play. Before you say its bad or isn’t optimal, I won a locals 3-0 and went 4-1 at another with this team. I think it is one of the best ways to play rain right now.

I've been using this and so far climbed up to ultra ball (not playing a ton so it's doing well).
The main game plan is simple: lead whims and star and threaten most things.
- Garchomp pairs nice because once whimsicott is dead it can clean up most mons with eq...though Dragonite hasn't been a fun matchup. Ntm staraptor is ofc flying so freer eq.
- Ghold deals with most fairy types as this team does have to respect them. Also free fake out switch in
- speaking of fake out, incineroar is self explanatory. Fake out, Intimidate, damage, bulky it's a good typing. Stupid pokemon.
- now I feel like this I need to explain. Zoroark has been putting in incredible work. Under tailwind it easily deals with mega froslass. I'm considering shadow ball over bitter malice but I enjoy controlling the attack of problematic physical attackers. Also finding its best to disguise them as either Ghold if you are trying to trick a ghost type or garchomp if you want to get them to fake out.
This is my take and I am newer to vgc or rather haven't played in ages. There are probably more optimal mons and spreads and that's mostly what I wanna check for. If you all wouldn't mind rating and giving some pointers id appreciate it.

It's a rain team, sableye is basically there for stopping opposing Staraptor. Just looking for any constructive criticism anyone might have on it, started with the mobile release 2 days ago.

Thanks a bunch!

Help me out here

Been running this for while I got to ultra ball rank 3 but I keep losing to pelliper

I mainly go with whimsicott staraptor tyrnatar and inceneroar it would be really helpful if I could get some good suggestions or replacements if possible

Hello i'm really new to this and i really like Sinitcha. Can anyone please help me with this?

Yo guys, a few days i install Pokémon champions and i wanna know ur opion bout mi team, what u 'll Change or not and some tips pls, iam new in VGC (team in pairs btw)

It would be helpful , if i get a guide of how i play my team and also what are the new recruitment i need now

I just started playing last night and I don't know what is good or not...
This is my current lineup and mons I have

Team ID: DTFDQR9E11

1) Struggling against Tailwind setters
2) Mega Staraptor and Mega Dragonite teams
3) Need help replacing milotic with a better one

I love Mega Mawile, believe she's currently the best hard trick room carry. With screen extension in the game I also think hard trick room has a chance now even against zard spam. Open to suggestions and critique

Team explanation:
Grimmsnarl is really good at slowing down hyper offence teams, taunt is mainly there to counter the annoying scaraptor and stop its healing
Milotic was a late edition, initially had Goldengo there but he struggled a bit into zard slop/intimidate spam, and there's a looootta intimidate going around you're basically throwing if you don't have a defiant user
Aromatisse is just my fav trick room setter, can be swapped with the the giraffe or the monkey, your preference really
Surprisingly I found I rarely bought the sinistcha and mostly felt bad when I did bring him (besides the few games the gacha goes crazy) so considering swapping it out. Aromatisse really does bring enough healing most of the time

When looking for a mon to beat starapator I found gengar, and decided to build a team around it and staraptor (Scrafty would be my other choice since it has better synergy with gengar overall but until the hype around staraptor dies down its a bit difficult to use especially since I like using incin)

The team is rly solid and works well overall but there are 3 things bugging me.

For one I have 2 dark types and 2 ghost types, and I don't like having more than 1 repeating type on my teams, the fact that both my megas are weak to psychic is annoying but dealable since gengar can also hit psychic for super effective, more importantly the fact that I have 4 physical attackers and 2 special attackers bugs me a hell lot.

The only real reason I have sinistcha rn is bcause it completes the fire grass water trio that was rly strong on my old team, but I could see replacing it with farig.

Out of incin and grimmsnarl I prefer incin bcause I rly like using taunt incin, but Idk what I'd replace grimmsnarl with.

Araquanid can be replaced with say primarina but I rly like wide gaurd so idk

Need help making team around mega victorybell and need s help
