I've had some fun with this team and a lot of success but I'm wondering if people have ideas for improvements.
Alakazam is there literally just to use imprison on indeedee trick room leads, so rarely gets used but it's so far had a 100% forfeit response haha
The main goal here to have sort of balance. My two mega are good for different situations, mega golisopod core there core is supposed to be rain / trick room team he is good into every team except for the zard and pyroar team so I would bring mega genagr and perish trap into those matchups.
The perish trap core where genagr is the main focus he is able to sweeep teams that don’t have ghost type and some specific dark type Pokémon.
The main problem is I have been struggling with is exactly what rain and trick room setter I should have the options I have been throwing around is, politoad ( it good to set up rain and good for perish trap stuff and zard matchups), indee is good for trick rooom and helping the team survive through perish song.
This is the first idea And I’m open to ideas for which Pokémon’s to use.
I was also running mimkyu around too hehe I have Primarina as an attacker and solid check into bax and fire types
Want to see everyone’s thoughts on a metagross build I’m working on. Gen 3 is my favorite generation so having both pseudo’s is very appealing. I could use some help on recommended movesets but I really like the build so far.

Got a pretty straightforward balls to the wall psyspam team here, but I’ve been struggling the last few days trying to figure out a 6th mon. Any ideas?
https://pokepast.es/4f8ac0bb690da62e
Cant decide the remaining slots so uh some help would be appreciated
Here's what I've got so far, been super solid but want opinions on last 2 mons. Sun has really been the only mu struggle I've had, although some lines could use help like Delphox and raichu/ceru.
i carried over my m-b team to the new season and uh it's not really going to plan, I got put on fraudwatch deluxe today I was losing so much
indeedee especially is kicking my ass, but I also got dumped by rillaboom occasionally and also once by mega salamence
attached is my team and all the mons I have
Quick Run down Indeedee + Delphox (mega) + Expanding Force = What i was trying to do
I had Sneasler with Psychic Seed + CC, Dire, Coaching, Protect
CC feels off with no white Herb, and Coaching seems useless as the attack does air for the other 2 (i had king gambito but terrian screws him over worse than drunk seeing a bar and then his wife)
This is for doubles, and by all means start from scratch with indeed and delphox, sneasler isnt a requirement just what i was attempting
i can get more rilabooms , currently i have 1 but i will get more so if you see i traded mine you can still ask me about a rilaboom in the pictures is what i have to offer, just tell me your friend code in pokemon home and what you are interested in, i can also evolve some of the un evolved pokemon so ask me aout tat if you are interested
Chat did I cook with this team

Hasty Nature
Intimidate
10 ATK / 24 SPATK / 32 SPE

Standard Scarf Ttar, inflexibility is rough on me.

Guys I am stuck in Ub3 for past 4hr , what adjustment or pokemon change should I do ?
Trade responsibly. Ask questions first. Only accept an offer you are comfortable with.
No selling Pokémon. No scamming.
Either will result in a ban.
Be honest about what you are offering. Do not knowingly misrepresent a Pokémon’s origin or legitimacy.
All trades are conducted at your own risk.
Staff do not facilitate, guide or supervise trades, and we will not check or authenticate your Pokémon.
Feel free to ask questions in chat before trading. Community advice is not a guarantee of legitimacy.
If you intend to use a Pokémon in an official tournament, do not source it from an unregulated trade channel.
Catch it yourself or ask a trusted community member for help obtaining it. Make sure you understand where it came from before using it competitively.
If you later discover that you received a genned Pokémon, moderators will not authenticate it, arrange a replacement or reverse the trade.
You are responsible for the offers you accept. Staff cannot resolve uncertainty about a Pokémon’s history after you have agreed to trade.
Evidence of deliberate scamming can still be reported to staff. A report does not guarantee recovery of your Pokémon.
Genned Pokémon are created using external tools. Pokémon can also be edited or cloned.
A Pokémon can have possible stats, moves and encounter details while still having been created or altered outside normal gameplay.

- # Community reference — not an official tournament rulebook.
Shiny, Level 100, EV trained or in a rare ball does not automatically mean genned. Trainer IDs and ribbons also need context.
No visual checklist guarantees legitimacy. Knowing where a Pokémon came from matters more than how convincing it looks.
Use a game you already own to catch Pokémon or breed them where supported.
Ask in chat for help with locations, encounter methods or spare breeding parents.
Free to start, with Pokémon you can catch yourself.
Eligible Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Transfer energy replenishes over time, so you can wait instead of paying.
Transfers are one-way, and compatibility restrictions apply.

GO → HOME transfer guide
The mobile app’s free Basic Plan includes limited access to the GTS and Wonder Box.
These can help fill collection gaps, but receiving a Pokémon through HOME does not guarantee legitimacy.
How Pokémon HOME trading works
Ask whether another member has a spare Pokémon or breeding offspring they are happy to give away.
Explain what you need, ask about its origin and respect their answer.
Free does not automatically mean legitimate. For tournament Pokémon, prioritise a source you can trust.
Id like any advice about sets, or possible different directions the team could go in, like should I switch any moves, items, stat spreads, etc. Also should I use different megas? Overall though Id also like to know whether or not its fine as is. Any opinions are much appreciated.
Please dm me if you have an offer!
I will do 2:1 for the golisopod.
I've always wanted to use mega chomp since seeing it cuz hes so cool. Though, when others saw failure in Levitate, I saw opprotunity. My main idea is to equake spam with Exca next to MEGA CHOMP Z, and have a overall very offensive sand team, with defense where needed.
Mega Chomp. Let's start with it's strenghts. It's incredibly fast, it hits decently hard, and is immune to ground moves. Pure Dragon resits a lot, like Yard heatwave, grassy glide and wood hammer, Wave crash and aqua jet, Flare blitz, and so on. He has coverage that hits a lot in this format, like Power Gem for dem Yards and Flamethrower for dem Golisopods and Rillabooms. I sadly need full-ish special attack to manage to ohko these threats, but it works out great. With his speed this high, I build it to outspeed Mega Frosslass, Sneasler, Salamence and other stuff in that tier. Now, he struggles a lot into floette, not being able to hit it back, while usually getting OHKOed by any touch of fairy moves. It loses ground stab, and keeps that high attack stat without it being used. So these are what we need to find in good teamates.
Ttar. Ttar is here to setup the sand and hopefully get a Ddance or 2, then rockslide to oblivion. It walls frosslass, which is incredibly nice for this guy, and hits overall really hard, with the added bonus of item removal. Ttar has always been a complete menace with one glaring weakness: Fighting types, but most of the relavent fighting types cripple to Garchomp + Excadrill anyways. (Kommo-o, sneasler, etc) Ttar is holding the Tyranitarite due to lack of better or more valuable item.
Excadrill. Oh boy, life orb boosted earthquakes hit hard. Excadrill is my main damage source, with sand rush and life orb hitting extreemly hard. I moved some points from speed into HP so grassy glide is less game-ending, and I have X-Scissor to hit those Rillabooms back. I know, rock slide is way better, but I have rock moves on both the mentioned mon already. It hits Floette, so that helps.
i've built a core of salamence, floette and rillaboom so far but i'm not sure who to add
Mega Salamence-
He is suppost to be that base of my team being able to nuke serious threats but also able to tank hits too. he is also able to support the team with tailwind
Rillaboom-
i want him to be providing support through fake out and grassy terrain support while being able to tank hits and hit decently hard with grass moves
Floette-
she is suppost to support rillaboom by preventing him from getting intimidated while still being very threatning through strong spread damage. I am unsure about evs and move set tho
issues-
i have a bad matchup into kingambit, mawile, archaludon, gholdengo, and metagross
also i don't want to use sneasler, kingambit, incineroar, archaludon, gholdengo, golisopod or swampert
Can anyone tell what to change
