Mega Golurk Team

Adapted this from before(Lowkey I post too much)

Golurk: I thought it had potential. Unseen fist is still decently good even after the nerf, and it does solid damage into most trick room setters. It partially ignoring protect is a feat alone, but it also has good coverage. Poltergeist and Headlong are just strong, and ice punch is for coverage. Helps with the matchups that Golisopod can't do and walls stuff like Raichu and Sneasler

Grimmsnarl: Golurk especially needs bulk, so this was a good play. I was considering Ninetales Alola but decided against it because there was more utility in a different weather and the prankster was good. Very standard set and it synergises with archa and golis.

Politoed: I didn't really need pelipper as it was more supportive and I needed a bit more special offensive pressure. Muddy water is good spread, ice beam for coverage, and encore can help with baiting moves.

Arch: Since rain is there it's an obvious choice. Standard set and more offensive since bulk is offered with screens and redirection with follow me.

Indee: Terrain was good for the team, redirection was also useful and mega golurk takes way too much damage from stuff like grassy glide and aqua jet. Also, golurk works well under trick room along with golisopod

Golis: It handles the matchups golurk can't and is the stat brick. I havent used it yet so I wanna try it. Also pulls the team together as a secondary mega and with screens I can more than safely do a swords dance

Am open to slot changes except golurk and stat dist changes

Building an Electric Terrain Team | Pokémon VGC Help

What's up everyone! Im returning after a long break to Champions and was wondering how feasible a team based around electric terrain is in the current meta. The stars of the team would be Mega Eelektross and probably Alolan Raichu if its any good or is even available in game. Can someone help me create a team around those two?

Building a Belly Drum Mega Chesnaught Trick Room Team

I’m building a Tr M.Chesnaught team and using Chesnaught as a Tr sweeper, but I’m not 100% sure about mu last 3 mons. The most confidence I have, from those 3 is gambit, but Kangaskan and Skeledirge not really. They work outside of Tr, and it what I was going for, but idk if I should go full Tr. looking for suggestions.

The stats and moves are subject to change except the idea of having belly drum M.Chesnaught

Sharpedo's deep dive

Paste

ok so i got a shiny sharpedo and wanna try getting it working reliably. this team has issues, but works surprisingly well.

the Dive helps sharpedo survive longer to get to high speed, and if you TR and dive at the same time hes under for 2 turns which is funny 😄

help me improve it????
it struggles into M-golisopod, HTR, and if they have a rilla AND a raichu its a real uphill battle

Building a Halloween VGC Team: Gourgeist Strategies

i started working on a new team to correspond with the new season and thought it'd be fun to make one appropriate for october! especially after getting a gourgeist in a dream ball from the recruit ranch.
that being said, i've tried a number of different combos and i'm struggling to get anything in particular to work. i will say i've learned gourgeist is a great stall mon in the right conditions, running protect + trick room + leech seed + will o wisp and max evs in both defenses. had a bit of success using runerigus with ally switch too since it basically gets me a guaranteed trick room setup. but other than that, i'm stuck in ultra ball 3.

what would be a good build to base around gourgeist, and do i need to adjust the moveset i have for her? would i do better without trick room, maybe even dedicating her or something else to imprisoning it? or is it a dumb idea to build around her to begin with???? like i've mentioned in my past posts here, i am pretty new to vgc in general, having only started in july/august. xP

these are the other mons i have available for the theme and like the most (though i am accepting other suggestions if absolutely needed):
- meowscarada
- delphox
- mimikyu
- houndoom
- spiritomb
- aegislash
- corviknight
- sneasler
- runerigus
- sableye
- chandelure
- midnight lycanroc

Building a Mega Charizard X VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

I’m trying to build a Charizard X floette team but I’m struggling to find proper teammates beside sinishcha. I’m also not fully sure what the EVs should be for the existing mons other than sinishcha. Also please don’t recommend incineroar, sneasler, kingambit, farig, or gholdengo.

Is Basculegion-F Viable? VGC Team Building Advice

I've been using this team for a while, here's the pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/03f50b6ced294f08 Anyway I've been seeing a lot of Basculegion-F and have been seriously considering it, as it kinda gets around the Incineroar counter to Basculegion-M and is able to possess ice beam pressure which is just super nice. Is it worth it or no?
