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?

Do These 6 Pokémon Work in a Rain Team?

Mega swam, peli, arch, basc, incin, and sinisctha

I'm wondering if these 6 pokemon work together in a team, and if they do how I should build them as I've never built a rain team before so I don't know the weakness's and what to cover for.

Any help would be much appreciated.

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!

Refining the Froslass/Yaichu VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

Just reached MB3 while testing this cute little team. I'm really enjoying it so far, but surely there's room for improvement.

Sneasler is a big threat here, as there are 3 mons weak to it while no supereffective move whatsoever against it.

No real checks against Floette/Sylveon here too - Iron Head on Kingambit is the best I have against them.

Dual Screens and Trick Room can be very annoying to work around if I don't successfully stop the setter.

This team is quite weak to Ground type moves.

Changes I've been considering:
- A supportive Talonflame with moves like Taunt, Will-o-Wisp and Defog, that could also OHKO Sneasler easily with Brave Bird. It also gives me Ground immunity in one mon at least.
- My own Sneasler to check fairies, Archaludon and Kingambits - but this I want to avoid as I have been playing Sneasler in so many teams already (it is the GOAT)
- Sylveon over Kingambit for strong spread move on Hyper Voice and nuking with Hyper Beam
- At some point I considered Energy Ball/Giga Drain on Whimsy solely for Swampert, as my only real answer to it atm is Tsareena, who's gets OHKOed by Pelipper's Hurricane
- A Rock type mon or strong Rock type move somewhere for extra option against Pelipper and Charizard. I thought of Scarf Kleavor as it can also deal with Trick Room by OHKOing Farigiraf with X-Scissor.

I think that's it for now, open to any thoughts or suggestions here

Mawile Trick Room Help vs Rain & Arch Teams

I took this team all the way to MB2 today, but meeting a lot of arch/rain.

I am wondering how I can adapt this team to be any better in that matchup. I either need to predict perfectly with torkoal or vileplume to win it I feel. Or maybe I’m just not bringing staraptor enough.

Considering replacing aerodactyl with something that can handle it
