this isn't too complicated but I want a second set of eyes. are y'all aware of that sand and staraptor team going around that consists of T-Tar, Excadrill, Milotic, Gholdengo, Staraptor and sinistcha? well I made a simple change; I swapped sinistcha for scovillain. I have been a very big believer in mega scovillain's ability to disrupt the non-megas of the meta considering a large amount of them are physical attackers. I played a couple games on showdown and like I thought I would I really enjoy the way the team feels, except for one component- Staraptor. Because I don't want 3 mega evolutions on the same team, initially I took away staraptor's stone to give it to scovillain, but I'm struggling to find a good item replacement for the bird and that's what I'm here for. If anybody has any obvious answers that I can't think of, lmk. Alternatively, or if no one has a better idea, I might give t-tar a chople and give the bird it's stone back. pokepaste pictured below

Hey, peeps!

This team very comfortably brought me to Master Ball and has kept me at ~75k ranking with little actual effort.

Yes, it might have come to be because I got shiny Camerupt and am a smoker, but I am truly enjoying it :p

Camel hit kills even max HP Zard Y, since they are soooooo keen on surviving rock slide specifically, and sheer power heat wave is a hell of a drug even if I don't get to click eruption due to chip.

Torkoal gets the usual earth power instead of megarupt, and since it tanks physical hits rather well, ends up being a nice boon vs Sneaslers and the such. Setting sun is icing on the cake for weather wars.

The giraffe is goated, little to discuss there apart from the helping hand which can be clutch to break through bulky sets, though only one attacking move does leave it wiiiiide open to dark type counters.

No steel move Kingambit sometimes stings, but low kick is rather nice to weaken bridge dragon and the mirror match. Willing to hear feedbacks on this dude.

Megawile is absurd, what a cute nuke in my favorite typing combo. It is quite regular for me to open with him, protect with no mega, switch out and bring back for extra intimidate on teams that can't punish it. Sets up really unfair late games with the king, since they both run sucker and create "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations.

Sinitscha is, in theory, really dope. In practice, I rarely find slots to really bring it in the 4 mons, even though it is the secondary setter and a really nice support. Thoughts on making it spiritual guide monkey? I have been avoiding this switch due to guru being a second normal/psychic, but in terms of getting rekt by dark type moves, they're pretty similar.

Looking forward to suggestions 😄 Mainly on EV spreads and the tea vs guru situation, but all are welcome.

Hi,
which team core should I focus on with these?

I made this team to include Decidueye somehow since it's my favorite mon. I haven't done badly, but I haven't done great either, the objective is to clear out as much as possible using Mega Floette supported by Incineroar or Ninetails. Whimsi is there for speed control and some matchups, and Rotom is there to support certain matchups and cover certain weaknesses. Any help and/or advice is welcome.

Shines i need :-

If u have any of these plz tag me

My offer

I just need help with finding areas that need improvement for this team

First team: https://pokepast.es/e651bbc8a7902979 basic tr team with camperupt and torkal to let it have sun. if things look bad for fire, i use mawile (but 2 sun boosted eruptions is still 2 sun boosted eruptions.) Its a really basic tr team, with farig and incin usually being the lead, and fake out + tr to get the room up. everyone else on the team is a tr sweeper. really beasic team, wont get into it too much.

second team: https://pokepast.es/b6ad4ee3dd5dd536 . Im willing to change this team as much as i need to. the basic idea is for mega victrebell to have option to tr or tailwind, and have sun chloryphyl to do something annoying before mega evolving. On Yard, I have ancient power over solar beam because i want to hit opposing zard, and i already have solar beam on victreebell. The team was missing some non-fire power, so i decided to give farig a nasty plot set over a normal support set. i picked kleavor because it gets tailwind, can set up rocks, and is just good at what it does in terms of damage. Is it better than aero? still testing. do i think the team is good? no, thats why im asking for help XD

any Palafin truthers in the Chat
Am i cooking or is the kitchen going down in flames

ping me

LF 2:1 Trade Clefable + Gliscor 🙏 Thank you!

I made a variation of the Sceptile rotom team but I’m uncertain what should be my 6th mon or if any of the mons need stat or move adjustments. Also PLEASE don’t recommend garchomp

I can offer quite alot of Pokémon to trade back

If intrested tag me

Lol somone help me make this team. The idea is to have mr rime use roleplay on mega raichu Y to get that no guard, and then use sheer cold. What should the other pokemons be?

Hi, can someone help me build a competitive team based on my current roster? Or perhaps recommend specific Pokémon I should acquire?

The whole idea is just using his curious medicine ability to drop make it rain or draco meteor back to back without having to switch out. I'm on a 5 win streak but it seems to struggle most against basculegion specifically. Any suggestion would be great👌

peak masters 2 but I struggle with other Archaludon, any tips?

Hi, I was trying out a Scrafty team, specifically this one but three of the Pokémon on the team are weak to ground or flying. I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations on how to adjust the team's direction.
