Mega Garchomp Sand Team Guide | Pokémon VGC Strategy

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.

Mega Salamence VGC Team Building Guide | Pokémon Champions

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

Building a Mega Golisopod Rain Team | VGC Strategy

Hellooo I want to build a team around mega golispod for a tournament/laddering
Ive got an intinal idea but im open for any suggestions or changes the team could undertake
Heres my little explanation of the team
(Evs are not finalized)

M-GOLISPOD
Hes very bulky so im thinking of using him as a bulky setup sweeper with swords dance
Strong stabs with first impression and iron head and priority w sucker punch this guy is gonna do DAMAGE

PELIPPER
Is here to set the rain up which cuts the damage of fire moves which golispod loves
Tailwind and wideguard for good utility and hurricane and weatherball for some good stabs
Sitrus for good recovery

ARCHADUALON
If youve got rain arch is here to stay
With leftovers giving good recovery
Flash cannon and dragon pulse for good stabs electro shot to snowball to power up that special atk and protect to keep arch safe

M-SWAMPERT
And swampert just LOVES rain and can be brought for matches golispod hates
Wave crash high horsepower and ice punch for good coverage and protect

GRIMMSNARL
Hes here to increase my team overall bulk and be very dispurtive with parting shot light screen and foul play and spirit break
Why i didnt go for reflect is because since my two main megas are physically bulky(so is arch) and spirit break could help aganist fighting dark and dragon types

SINISTCHA
Here for healing w its ability matcha gotcha for some spread damage (since ive got none)
Trick room which can help enable golispod(and aganist tr teams) and so can rage powder and protect
Coba berry to help aganist the rain mirror

Thanks for reading and all suggestions will be appreciated!!!
