Mega-Froslass Team Feedback & Counters

https://pokepast.es/be06335512eee212

I made a team based on Mega-Froslass, using Pokemon available to Champions and tried to cover for expected threats notably:

  • Mega-Gengar
  • Mega-Guardevoir Psyspam
  • Mega-Froslass
  • Mega-Charizard-Y
  • Mega-Metagross
  • Mega-Kangaskhan (hopefully)
  • Dondozo Tatsugiri (hopefully)

I am not entirely sure About the last 2 Moves of Whimsicott. I would like taunt (especially to stop trick room) and helping hand (to boost the spread moves of froslass, arcanine or primarina if needed), but i am unsure if i shouldn't got for encore over one of those above, to punish status and setup.

Also I can't hit water really hard and I am unsure if neutral dmg is strong enough against strong water types like Dondozo

I know we don't know how the meta could look like and I cannot think about every situation, but any Ideas on what else to cover and how?

Psyspam Parish Trap Team Showcase

There is actually a story behind this team. I've know pokemon for a while but never wanted to go to tournaments until now. I recently got my mom into pokemon so she wanted a fenimine team and I ofc knew indeedee and Hatterine were the way to go. Somehow I've ended up with this masterpiece of a team, ive used it and went from 1100 to 1500 in like maybe 1 week of playing showdown on carrides home. This team felt really good even up at 1500 elo, im looking to smooth it out a little more. Mainly wondering if mystic fire on hatterine would be good over protect. Also wondering if I can get evs on primarina to okho incin.

New to VGC Help Thread and Team Advice

I tried asking for help on Reddit but just got bombarded with insults so here I am lol.

I’m very new to VGC and started putting a team together on showdown. I only have 4 pokemon rn and need to fill in two more. I was also told that apparently Spec Groudon sucks. I’m having trouble finding good resources to help me learn. I’ll take any advice I can get

Thanks!
