Pokémon VGC Bo3 Team Building & EV Spread Advice

Hello,
i'm looking forward to some "big" torunaments, but i'm really unexperienced with Bo3 format, i'm using showdown to test a bit but i'm struggling mostly because of time (everything is waaay faster becasue of almost 0 animations). those are the 2 teams i'm leaning into, i was looking for a team for weeks before i found those and i enjoy the playstyle and the many possible leads. I'm looking for suggestion for Bo3 and specially Ev spreads. The team i'm using more rn is the golisopod one, what do y'all think?

Golisopod & Glimmora VGC Team Building Guide

Okay, so i was testing my Mega Golisopod + Mega Salamence team and notice 2 main issues:

  • 1: has a very problematic matchup into Mega Raichu Y.

  • 2: has a very problematic matchup into Steel-Types, mainly into Gholdengo and Archaludon.

So i decided to look for ground types to try solve these issues and decided to use Garchomp (Fun Fact:i've take something like 2 os 3 weeks to put Garchomp thinking that it wouldn't be able to OHKO Mega Raichu Y with Stomping Tantrum, when i runned the calc and discovered that i was pretty pissed with myself), since i'm using a TailRoom strategy, i decided to use a bulkier set with Rocky Helmet to punish physical attackers, this spread lives Jolly Life Orb Garchomp Dragon Claw and Mega Garchomp Z Dragon Pulse most of the time (12.5% chance to it OHKO). i'm not really sure if this is a good ideia but it was very usefull to kill my opponent's Kingambit other day, and since this would make team have 3 Dragon-Type with 2 of them having a 4x weakness to Ice, i decided to switch Mega Salamence to Mega Glimmora. I chosed because i've seen Mooxie Boosted saying that it has a good shot of being good on this format, so i decided to test out, using a generic set, which is also good to cover for Steel-Types with Earth Power.

If you have any suggestion for this team i would love to hear it! ||@Teambuilders|| (VGC)

Building a Competitive Hisuian Samurott VGC Team

I already tried to build a team on him when the game launched back in april and after the first Reg M-A season i used some other teams to learn more about how the meta likes to play and now i want to try build a team on him again, but the few things he can do is threaten Basculegion, Delphox and eat easily hits from Kingambit, which ins't bad, but it is weak TO A LOT of the meta, charizard easily OHKO's it with solar beam, floette also OHKO's it with dazzling gleam, staraptor also OHKO's it with close combat and the list goes on.

I know that every pokemon (except charizard Y because he can do almost anything) have it's weakness, but what he can do (at least in perspective) is heavilly overweighted by what he's weak to, and i already seen some people saying that they were using Hisuian-Samurott and that he was doing well so PLS help me make a team on it

Pokémon VGC EV Training Guide: Optimizing Gengar & Krookodil

ok so i made this team just recently and i'm not worried about most things on the team just the EVs for empoleon and Gengar. i have confidence in the EVs for the rest of the team but completely confident in the EVs for rillaboom and if there is any way to make krookedile bulkier on one side and as bulky on the other while having the same damage output and being as fast then please mention it. The main mon i want ev help for is gengar. i want him to outspeed timid mega mence by two points while still being bulky enough to stay on the field for a bit and do good damage.
