Building a Competitive Hydreigon & Aegislash VGC Team

I'm looking to build a team around a Hydreigon/Aegislash core, since that feels pretty strong against the current Psyspam meta. I'm looking to use it on the ladder, and bring it to a local tourney I'm going to in two weeks. This is what I have so far, but I have no attachment to any of the team besides the two I mentioned, everything else could be replaced. I just put it together quickly, and it feels okay to play, but it could be a lot better. Does anyone have any good recommendations for teams that work well with this duo?

Mega Bax Screens Team Guide | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Mega Bax goes well into Zard Y and other fire core teams.

A-Slash gets enabled bc of the high base defenses, and can setup at least 1 SD.

Keys setup screens to let Bax and ASlash take more hits

Rilla is used to win Terrian wars and help reduce damage from EQuake. As well as getting Fake Out pressure

Sneasler helps with my fake out pressure, and helps take down protects ( i doubt sneasler is a permanent member )

Pelli’s job is too take down Sun and Sandstorm, prevent spread moves ( also might get changed out )

Tailwind and TRoom don’t really fit here because Bax and ASlash both benefit from moving last,

Competitive VGC Team Building: Cofagrigus & Mega Golisopod

Thought i was being slick with this: Confragigus can survive a max special attack, modest, life orb Gholdengo shadow ball with no investment into special defense, just a psychic seed. Also thought that i could negate the new megas abilities, boy how wrong I am. Salamance and Garchomp are running special moves? Anyways, I am not posting this to just complain. I need help! I think Swampert might not be the best choice and confragigus and the rest. What do you think is wrong with this team?

A little question about my team

This team is working for me so far; it's doing pretty well.
But what do you think about having Volcarona on the team? It fits well and always provides support, though I don't think I'm getting the most out of it yet (I've just started using it recently).
What kind of set of Volcarona would you recommend to support this team? A support set, something more offensive, or a mixed one?

Mega Gardevoir Trick Room Team

I'm pretty new to VGC (and this server) so I apologise if this post isn't as detailed as it should be.

I started playing in the first regulation of champions (using a Charizard Y sun team) but haven't played since then. I had wanted to create a Mega Gardevoir team but lacked the motivation to do it (I was going to pair it with Aegislash but didn't really like the rest of the supporting cast). However, upon seeing Mega Golisopod and Indeedee being added to the game I thought, I thought they would be a good trio to build around. After looking online for a while it seems like they're actually quite a popular group! That gave me the motivation to actually start working on a team since it seems like the core idea is good at least.

My Mega Gardevoir is my most 'complete' pokémon and I think pretty much the only one I don't need help with. I am pretty happy with the moveset. Its stats are 32HP/32SpA/2Def with a modest nature. I assume this is the standard for a trick room team but if these should be adjusted at all please let me know!

I am also happy with the moves on my Indeedee though am unsure what stat spread I should use. Max HP? Max SpD? I'm really not sure. Should it have a speed lowering nature? I also don't know if sitrus berry is the ideal item, I kind of just used it as a place holder as a solid defensive item. I'd be happy to change it if there's something better.

I feel very similarly about my Golisopod. I'm happy with its moves but am very unsure about its stats. I would assume max attack plus a brave nature but am otherwise unsure.

And honestly, these three pokémon are the only ones I have confidence in and the only three I absolutely want to have on the team - the others can be removed if there's something better.
