Hello I'm kind of new to competitive Pokémon, but I really don't want to use all the meta picks, mostly because I just don't like those Pokémon. I tried to build a team centered around Hisuian Goodra, but I feel like I'm missing something. I don't really know which Mega I should use or whether I actually need Trick Room. If I do, what should I change, and who should I replace? I'm willing to change almost everything

Hello! I'm fairly new to the competitive scene and I've been using this team for most of my time here. I absolutely love it and I do think its almost good enough for me to try and aim for Master ball tier but it has some obvious shortcomings I want to remedy. The first is that the team feels extremely weak to trick room and the second is that opposing mega swamperts can cause an enormous amount of problems to most of my team. I've been looking at sinistcha as a potential fix to these problems but all the Pokémon on the team have felt so good and reliable im not sure if thats the correct thing to do at all. I also put little thought in the EV spreads, mostly just copying things I've seen online so help fine tuning them would be very helpful. Thanks in advance to the team builders of the community, especially considering I dont think I'll be the first or last to send a mega swampert rain team here for help.

I am new to the competetive side of pokemon, and although I have done research I still lose a lot. Currently running this team hoping to reach Master Ball rank in PKCH. Would love to hear any advice and critiques from you guys!

Blaziken is my favorite pokemon, so I'm trying to build a team around him. Went with Protect the President a la Delphox + Sinistcha, but a bit more kamikaze with Flare Blitz and CC. Basically just trying to do as much damage as possible before he goes down so that Basculegion can clean up with Last Respects or Liquidation/Aqua Jet

Main Lead: Blaziken + Fake Out (Tink or Incin depending on matchup)

I've been considering quite a few Pokemon for this team, and I don't think I've got the right 6 right now. I'm willing to swap any slot but Blaziken, but I really like the synergy with Basculegion so I'd like to keep that too if possible. Aero feels wrong but I don't know what other secondary mega to use, if any.

Any suggestions?

Pretty straightforward staraptor team. Gholdengo to counter fairies, Milotic for intimidate counter and the rest basically staraptor support.

OK SO weird team moment chat! I am so unsure if this is even good but Meowscarada is actually a big threat to a ton of Pokemon that I quite like a lot but past the title clickbait, this is a dual mega team with Mega Raichu Y and Mega Delphox that I personally would want to get some advice on in which Pokemon to switch or how to improve the spreads of, any feedback appreciated.

Currently run Yaichu (Fake/GKnot/FBlast/Zap) with just like what core mons are meta (Gambit/Sneas/Chomp/Whims/Incin). However I've realized that I struggle offensively against trick room because I havent set up leads that can take out TR setters like farig/tomb. THis is partially because of moveset mistakes (i have been running low kick on gambit and spunch is my only dark time move, which means it struggles to kill farig/tomb for example, which means I cant get enough offensive pressure to prevent TR from going off.

Sneas runs standard fake/dire/combat/tect white herb unburden
chomp runs stomp/iron head/breaking swipe/rock slide life orb rough skin (i keep forgetitng to change sand veil to rough skin because I was running him with ttar but ill do it on next login)
whims runs blast/tailwind/tect/encore sash
gambit runs low kick (considering a change to kowtow cleave since Ive used low kick a total of one time), spunch, iron head, swords dance
incin runs blitz/parting/fake/wisp

so any advice regarding moves, EV's (same old EV's on these mons as the ones you commonly find on ladder right now), or pokemon swaps or how to lead into TR would be appreciated

Help pls
I want to create a setup + redirection team but I dunno my last 3 mons I have tried with zoroark ,rotom wash and heat, farigiraf, lycanrrock and tsraena

I think that maushold Floette and delphox make a very good core

I’ve been using this team and plan to take it to a tournament but I’m worried it might have a few issues. What should I change about it. Btw please don’t recommend incin, kingambit, farig, gholdengo or sneasler

Trying to make a balance team but teambuilding isn't really my thing clearly

I have these pokemons in my box, would be great if someone helped me make a team surrounding m delphox, I'm also kind of looking for a counter against weather and trick room teams

I'm also fine with having 2 megas considering the team I'm fighting

very good, very successful team, but I fear that its not successful enough in best-of-3, especially with the struggle against dark types. What could I replace, without hurting the team

I just want to make a second teamm

Playing in a 60+ player online tour tmr with this. It’s nothing too unordinary but any adjustments to make it run smoother would be appreciated

i copied this team from a page but i dont have a idea how to use it

I’ve been having fun with froslass/scovillain teams for a while, but now that MB came around, are there any changes you guys would make to this team? The current version is my personal ev spreads for the NAIC top 8 team

https://pokepast.es/016e2d17c3ce376e

Any final touch or just general comments? 2 separates teams. The froslass team being made last regulation and just item changes.

I already have a dual mega team with manectric which I will show but it rarely gets to shine so any ideas would be nice as for the houndoom team I know it needs sun and probably tailwind but what about the other Pokémon?

The rough idea is:
- Torkoal sets sun and can sweep with Vileplume utilizing after you.
- Blaziken is using the mega stone since I couldn’t think of a mega to fill the slot, I’m aware life orb would be better.
- Alcremie can use decorate to buff Blaziken through detect/protect. This gives a free speed boost, and a +2 in its attack stat.
- Kingambit is here as an alternate lead w/Blaziken/safe switch for Alcremie, can also be placed next to vileplume for after you kowtow or iron head spam.
- Torkoal could also be supportive with helping hand, I’m running a bulkier set to have longevity
- I have no fucking clue what to do with Sinistcha, nor what to replace it with, potentially another mega?? Idek
Any helps appreciated!! :3
