Building a Stamina Mudsdale Team | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Hey so archaludon is a pretty strong pokemon in the format rn and given it great physical bulk, i figured maushold beat up+stamina archaludon with body press would be a fun gimmick to try. But archaludon doesnt learn body press in Champions so ill have to use a replacement-i have mudsdale on my mind rn (let me know if there are any better replacements). Can somone help me make a Beat Up Maushold + Stamina Mudsdale team?

Building a Competitive Scizor Trick Room Team | VGC Guide

Hello guys as its a new season I wanted to try another mega in trick room, the team is as the picture says with scizor at the center and i new i wanted and had to onlcude Rotom, Sneasler and Mimikyu and settled on this for now and trying to make it as viable as possible. The biggest problem is I guess the sun so i asked Banjoand he said that I can try Golurk as the answer if I wanna go trickroom and I really like the idea. This is the start and I know it can get much better than this but I know hat the core 4 will not change except the Rotom form as all of the mons have their purpose and are connsistent

Milotic & Scovillain VGC Team Building Guide

I built this team by myself today; I think the concept has potential, but I have some questions regarding spreads and movesets—specifically for Milotic and Toxicroak.
The main idea is to use Surf with Milotic—an area-of-effect move—to intentionally hit my own Scovillain. This would trigger a burn, activating Milotic's ability and boosting its physical defense and it also allows me to get milotic another ítem instead of te usual flame orb that is not in the game.
To handle Electric types, I have Manectric with Lightning Rod; for Grass types, I have Scovillain, Toxicroak, and Pelipper.
Regarding the Milotic set: I’m unsure whether to run Coil and Hypnosis—as that might conflict with Mega Scovillain’s Spicy Extract (since I can't burn and put the opponent to sleep simultaneously)—or to go with something like Icy Wind or Ice Beam paired with Life Dew.
I chose Metagross as a secondary Mega because I think it performs well in the rain.
I included Toxicroak because of its Dry Skin ability, which synergizes well with Milotic's Surf and the rain itself; however, I’m undecided between a bulkier build or a hyper-offense approach.
Mega Scovillain with Leech Seed seems like a solid choice if I run Coil; perhaps Giga Drain could work if I don't use Hypnosis?
For speed control, I chose Pelipper with Tailwind.
I’d appreciate some feedback.

Mega Froslass VGC Team Help | Pokémon Champions

So I’m just starting to get into doubles and haven’t really done any competitive before so I’m not sure how to deal with a few hiccups in my team. Ive made it to ultra ball 2 in a few days but I’m getting stuck now. I seem to struggle a lot against mega charizard Y trick room teams because it screws up my snow and then all my fast and frail mons get destroyed and also rain teams for similar reasons. (Also any other advice for building or like selecting my 4 attackers would be great!)

Dragonite & Metagross Rain Team Guide | Pokémon VGC

So I started my team building journey with a post about Staraptor. Then I went down a rabbit hole of Annihilape and made a post about that only for me to start using a Metagross, Blastoise, Trick room team. While playing it I really started to wish I had a tailwind Mon as well as weather control. Peli seemed like the perfect addition providing both. In play testing I was much better in weather but really struggled in Trick Room. I subbed out Basculegion for Araquanid and boy do I love that spider. Since it’s running Wide Guard I swapped Peli’s Wide Guard out for Helping Hand and it’s been great.

It might be more optimal to run Swampert instead of Metagross and some sort of other Mon instead of Hydreigon but so far I’ve been liking the team build. I also was thinking maybe Dragonite would just be better as Arch but Dnite is my OG and that multi scale is no joke.

I am sure there is some more optimal spreads I could be running if someone who is good with calcs would be willing to help. Any obvious 1-for-1 swaps to improve the cohesiveness would be welcomed too.

Competitive Venusaur Sun Team Guide | VGC Strategy

Yo, any thoughts on this Sun team ?

https://pokepast.es/821d8ea0cb97f973

It has a double mode with Staraptor + Sunny Day Whimsicott for Sandstorm matchups.

Helping hand Charizard means Venu's Solar Beam OHKO any Garchomp, and I've been wondering if 4 attack scarf Gholdengo was the best move, as Power Gem is here for Zard and Tbolt for Staraptor and Rain mainly, but idk if Trick would be a better option to prevent Trick Room or something. Let me know what you think 🙂
