Mega Tyranitar/Metagross Team Advice

Summary

In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member asks for team-building advice for a very physical Mega Tyranitar/Mega Metagross core. They regularly bring Aerodactyl and Incineroar and struggle with Archaludon consistency and Mega Froslass/weather control. The post requests recommendations for special attackers and swaps that fit the existing team and improve matchups.

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 🙏

White herb sneasler is a fine replacement I think

Update: after some testing around, I decided ti change annihilape into fairy weather sylveon with mystical fire as a cover move. Has been doing pretty well and finally got to master ball tier
