Hi! I was looking for some insight in how to improve my Mega Venusaur team. It is doing well, I just hit a 10 win streak, but I suffer a lot against sun + trick room teams, so in response I tried adding Mega Swampert and Pelipper.

What happened in the end is that I barely ever use them. Pelipper I can bring a little more, for wide guard, tailwind and to handle weather from other teams, but Mega Swampert I only used two or three times. It feels frail if not under the right conditions and it doesn't hit that hard if it isn't against the right opponent.

So I wanted suggestions of what I could put in their place. Something that can still help me overcome those annoying torkoal teams, but also be useful all around, if even possible.

My first shiny that I got in Champions was Staraptor (go figure) while I was trying to find Pokemon to play AGAINST it. Just sharing my team, open to changes (depending on the change) and any questions on why

Got an idea currently of going with a Screens team with Mega Staraptor and Glimmora, I think Glimmora is being extremely overlooked right now but I think thats due to Mega Metagross going around.

I got a set of 4 mons currently but not sure what the last mon should be to help out in the Mega Metagross matchup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, struggling to find some any where atm unfortunately.

Im trying out this staraptor team soon, but ive been tinkering with it and would appreciate feedback, whimsicott is built like that to deal with mega swampert btw

I’ve been loving Big Root Sinistcha next to setup Metagross, but it feels like Kang doesn’t do well in mid game and like something is missing(Fire-Type?). Not sure how to replace here

Mega heracross, mega metagross, sableye, basculegion, sinistcha, sylveon kinda cooks. What do you think? Or mega mawile over metagross and idk what over sylveon

Made my own mega raichu Y team for the M-B season. If you guys have any thoughts on what can be improved, I'd be happy to listen!

I like the team a lot but probebly looking to replace rk9, i never bring it. (I could run justified but i don't think it brings enough value). Main issue I run into is probably sun teams

I've been enjoying this team, and most of the time my losses are misplays, I think overall it works alright. The goal was to find a mon that could deal with the bascu-king-sneasler-incin core that's everywhere. Torterra with ground -grass can hit all four with OHKOs after set-up.

I am curious if anyone has advice on set tweaks or swapping out a mon.

Sableye has been a problem for the team, and Heliolisk's normal typing sometimes gets him into trouble.

I was considering:
- swapping headlong rush for high horsepower on turtle
- swapping shell smash for swords dance on turtle and relying more on tailwind
- swapping dark pulse on Heliolisk for Hyper Voice
- swapping Eerie Impulse for Ally Switch or Electro-Web on Heliolisk
- swapping sitrus berry for leftovers on Milotic
- wide guard on dactyl

Thanks for your support

How the hell do I fix this?
https://pokepast.es/07c161706a03e36f

So I’m trying to build a team that’s kind of anti meta, but I feel like I’m stuck. I want to use Tsareena because I feel like she’s kind of a sleeper pick (maybe I’m coping) and Zard X. The other 4 mons I’ve just been kind of experimenting with, using Milotic with Competitive, Maus with Friend Guard, Alakazam literally only for Sneasler, and idk what arch does in this team, it’s kind of awkward. I’m down to change any Pokémon, but I do wanna keep Tsareena in this team because I enjoy her a lot.

My mentality with building this is usual Water/Fire/Grass core with other Pokémon to fill in the gaps, Choice Tsareena literally just to out speed Adamant Basculegion (I think if I did the math right). I’m kinda new to team building so I’ll take any advice that I can. I've also been experimenting with moves a bunch, changing them a bunch to fit what I need, so some of the moves might be awkward as well.

This team feels fine?

I've been thinking of a mega charizard x team, to be honest im not quite sure if it is good right now, and im thinking on a sixth, i dont know if maybe an alolan ninetales or sylveon or another special attacker, please help

Trying to figure out a replacement for mega manetric since i rarely bring it

For context I basically have only used this team and got to masterball on day 1 but now I’m stuck between 1700 and 1850 points, I’m kinda stuck between not knowing how to use new teams and archetypes and not knowing how to improve, there’s a solid chance that the team is limited by my skill issue though

I feel like there is just way too many possibilities with this format for vgc.

I want to do something uniquely powerful, ive been tweeking with some teams a bit and this is what i got so far, I would appreciate ANY feedback.

Aerodactyl
Ability: Rockhead or the one that doesnt allow berries
Will have attacks with recoil, something like ironhead for coverage, can have tailwind

Mega Meganium
Of course, weather ball, earth power for coverage

Incineroar
Intimidate fakeout partinshot, nothing crazy here

Whimsicott
Main tailwind setter, could have sunny day and moonblast, maybe even sleep powder

Paldean tauros water
I've been thiking about this guy the most, I can make him decently bulky i could run second intimidate OR Chud chew with sitrus berry for more sustain , strong water and fighting attacks, perfect coverage for a lot

Idk what to do for my sixth slot, I was thinking VOLCARONA or Delphox/mega delphox so i can switch betweena kinda sun team with sunny day whimsicott, and both give me good coverage.

Idk if this team is even good but ill listen to suggestions.

Looking for some help building a lopunnyteam, I know how goated lopunny is but am unsure as to how to exactly build around her... I was thinking maybe smth with primarina, pult, sinistcha but im not really sure past that...
