Ghost Monotype Team Help VGC Tips

Hi there! Just to head off future comments, yes I know ghost monotype aint gonna get me to champion tier but I just love playing monotype and feel like I could be doing better. Secondly: ~~please dont bully me for using basculegion its my only water/ghost option 😭~~

Team: https://pokepast.es/e711046d1b7d344c

Skeledirge: Good wall pokemon and can take alot of hits. Good for switching into when I need to take damage but can also build up to a steam roll if I need. Believe it or not without rain this dude can take mega gyrados. Goes very well with trick room but its not needed to succeed it feels

Sinistcha: Team healer, also my secondary trick room setter. Able to keep itself alive and heal teammates (mainly runerigus)

Runerigus: Trick room setter, opens if I dont open with Mimikyu and can take hits while setting up trick room, able to do some damage itself as well with body press. Honestly I feel like he could do with a better item but champions be lacking in items rn.

Mimikyu: The dude who got me to great ball tier solo pretty much. Other opener. Hits hard and always gets a free swords dance. I keep Sneak so I can always have priority if speed isnt looking good, and drain punch for coverage/minor healing.

Gengar: Honesty im having alot of trouble with gengar, I mainly have him so I can have a base speedy mon without having to worry about trick room being up or not, but honestly I feel like I could utilize better/switch him out. Tried the perish song/protect route with him but it felt bad having my only strategy being self sacrifice when I feel like he could be geared towards offense.

Basculegion: I SWEAR HES FOR WATER TYPE COVERAGE I SWEAR but wouldnt mind switching him out tbh it feels cheap whenever I go the last respects route but idk.

Chandy/Skarmy Team Build Help

https://pokepast.es/e843d3de67eee038

Trying to make this gorgeous team happen in Champions ladder. Been tweaking it a lot. Used to have Lycanroc instead of Skarmory, running only Chandelure as the Mega, but it was only there to OHKO Zard Ys with Accerock - which was pretty funny, but I noticed I was never using bringing it otherwise.

Been in a losing streak in the MB4 ladder atm lol the team is fun but I would love to make it stronger overall.

I'm up to any suggestions regarding changing Pokémon, moves, abilities or EV spread. I just would like to avoid using any of the meta mons here, as a personal challenge and because I would like not to repeat mons between teams (already have a ZardY/Glimm/Whimsicott/Basculegion/Gambit/Garchomp in my team slots)

Thanks in advance!

Snow EQ Team Help VGC Team Building

https://pokepast.es/a6073db1cf4cc5b9

This is my team, I always try to avoid using meta teams in games in general (so that's primarily why Galarian Slowking is here), but I have a couple flaws with the team I have come up with:

  1. I can't get the Delphoxite because I lost my violet cartridge and I don't have ZA
  2. I learned that all levitate pokemon are immune to any and all terrain effects (even buffs)

So I can't achieve my psyspam / heat wave spam / earthquake dreams... but I wouldn't mind some help on creating a team similar to my original vision. I mainly picked mega delphox because I wanted another powerful attacker to spam earthquake beside, and I really like the rest acrobatics Gliscor thing I have going. Weavile is here because it benefits from snow along with being an underrated fake out user (and it being one of my favorite pokemon), Mamoswine is here to be another EQ user where gliscor can't fit in, I think for what I have it's pretty central to the team. I also have sylveon on the team because I like it along with it being a generally good pick (fairy is really good and its probably the most meta pokemon I have on the team)

Rankings of how badly I don't want these pokemon to change:

  1. Gliscor: Core member, was mainly paired with Delphox but we know how that worked out
  2. Slowking: Another core member, I just generally kinda wanna do stuff with snow & psychic terrain if possible
  3. Mamoswine: For any EQ users that benefit from snow, Mamoswine is likely key (my only thing is that switching it for Baxcalibur is definitely on the table if the need arises)
  4. Weavile: benefits a lot from snow, exceptional fake out user, and I just like it
  5. Sylveon: It doesn't really fit in with my team, but I do like it, and it does provide coverage that I don't have. maybe could switch it for Alolan Ninetales?
  6. Delphox: yk why

I still want to keep the similar core idea (EQ spam + snow + psychic terrain?), but I don't know what I should do, or even what mega I use?

Dragonite-Delphox Dual Mega Team Feedback

https://pokepast.es/1abc6fe7fc3c1521.

I wanted to make a team around my favourite pokemon, Dragonite. I have used dragonite in the past a lot during reg I, and a bit in reg M-A but I had never used mega dragonite.

Its a dual mega team with dragonite and delphox alongside a supporting cast of side characters... and tinkaton.

I want help and feedback generally abt the team, especially in relation to mega dragonite and tinkaton. I think mega dragonite could do without protect but I ain't sure and I feel like mold breaker tinkaton would be rly funny as I could fake out farig but yet again I ain't sure.

This is both a prototype and an unserious team, but if I like how mega dragonite feels I might choose to make a less gimmicky team around it.
