My baby boo

I'm still new to VGC (got to ultraball 1 and am probably ending the season there) and my main team is a sandstorm/half trick room team. I had some trouble with rain so added heliolisk because
- electric
- dry skin
- interesting speed that outspeeds some important things but still underspeeds others important things in trick room
- shed tail (though I dropped it for grass knot because helio is too fragile so the subs are too fragile if they can even come out, also needed help in mirror match)
- volt switch

And it seems to be doing really well as a life orb glass cannon/wallbreaker. But like I said I'm still new so what am I missing? Full team below with some move notes for weird picks and things I could use advice on:

Farigiraf (armor tail, sassy, 2def, 32spp, 32spdef)
[Lum berry]
- psychic (nice to have but I can't find good times to use)
- trick room
- hyper voice
- thunder (anti-rain + synergy with non-mega raichu lightningrod)

Hippopotas (sand stream, adamant, 32hp, 32att, 2 def)
[Smooth rock]
- high horsepower
- rock slide
- yawn
- slack off

Steelix (sheer force, relaxed, 2hp, 32att, 32def)
[Steelixite]
- high horsepower
- heavy slam
- protect
- rock slide

Snorlax (thick fat, brave, 32hp, 32att, 2def)
[Leftovers]
- double edge
- heat crash
- heavy slam (heat crash seems better most of the time)
- yawn (probably gonna change this)

Raichu (lightningrod, timid, 2hp, 32spatt, 32spd)
[Raichunite X]
- rising voltage
- fake out
- knock off
- trailblaze (completely useless what should I use?)

Heliolisk (dry skin, modest, 2hp, 32spatt, 32spd)
- thunderbolt
- volt switch
- protect
- grass knot

I have been using this hydrapple team in Master, I have been losing a lot the last few days against mega Charizard, and sometimes mega staraptor but I have a very good matchup against rain team, I would like to integrate the matcha on the team but I'm not sure if its worth it, and honestly I need help with what are my best lineups, i usually just go with Hydrapple and farigiraf

I copied this team from youtube and im having a hard time using it, idk how to use the team and who to lead i need help im stuck at ultra ball😭

Can u guys tell me how to use the team i built properly how to counter certain pokemons

I need some help building a rain team with Swampert. I'm torn between these options. What do you recommend?

I have both shinies and wanna use em together in a team, cause they look sick but idk if they work together.

this team is Kinda Hit or Miss. can someone help me to improve my team. i can change pokemons. my aim is to utilize gravity.

whims seems inconsistent vs alot of fake outs options team and basc is not rlly sum that i like on this team

I'm so far in Ultra 3 (I know prob not too high) however I'm been loving this team but do feel I probably should cut Decidueye as it's the same purpose as Scizor in my opinion. I did recently make some changes with cutting Knockoff on Scizor for BugBite and change the EV of Archaludon from Speed to Sp. ATK. But any advice from using different mons or even items would be greatly appreciated!

I want my friend to get into competitive battling and I want to have her face as little friction as possible to get started. For that, I wanna make a team around her favorite pokemon (Sylveon, gardevoir and Mikikyu) while trying to avoid the ones she really doesnt like (Generally anything that looks burly or bulky thats after gen 4). Can someone help with making a team that can work for them? Im guessing trick room but I have no knowledge in how to properly make a team like that. Thanks for the help. Pictured here are what I have access to to make the team. Along with my guesses at the sets for them.

I have fallen in love with coaching recently, and James Baek made an incredible eelectross team. I’m wondering if there are any further improvements I could make to the team
https://pokepast.es/6702c8f7afa598f1

I do appreciate any advice I get! Either it's changing some mons or moves/items

A pretty meta idea, wondering what changes I should make?

https://pokepast.es/cc690c95580548a7

This is my first time building a team. I need help finding a 6th mon. Any suggestions and improvements are welcome

https://pokepast.es/9a65cdc0c5227b44

Was hoping to grab any input for any changes people would like to make for my team.

This is my team atm, but i dont have a real strat

https://pokepast.es/6472e83acaf69131

I began making this team when I rlised that I couldn't rly use scrafty gengar that well.

I could have just switched back to my gard dnite team but I rly wanted something new

And I think I might be going freaking insane cuz like, I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Every pokemon induvidually feel amazing (except maybe farig) and the team seems like it should work theoretically but while I did rise for a bit to like 1500 I have now fallen literally all the way to 1100, a record row for me (showdown)

I do not understand wtf is wrong. But something is rly wrong and it needs to be changed

Sceptile and Pyroar team

I wanted to make some changes to Wolfe's M-A Mega Scovillain team because I believe with a new regulation and new threats its worth adjusting. I do believe the Core of Scovillain, Sneasler, Swift Swim basc and Peli are very solid and work a majority of the time.

I tried mega aerodactyl like the original team had as the backup mega but I just didn't feel quite right. I removed choice scarf archaludon simply because I've been doing competitive pokemon for only a couple months and do not feel skilled enough to pilot CS Arch.

Id still like a choice scarf Pokémon, as the team lacks speed control without aero tailwind. I gave raichu Y a shot and I don't think its bad by any means but I'm not a fan of how frail it is (and how vulnerable it is in a meta with garchomp and Mega Swampert). Raichu Y was my answer to Zard Y teams. CS Sylveon was my Answer to Staraptor, but I wasn't a fan honestly.

Ive noticed weaknesses to ground, special attackers in general, and trick room. I was thinking about switching mega raichu for mega eelektross. any thoughts? willing to discuss and happily seeking any feedback :)

I’m lowk horrible at this but I kinda want to get into it so can someone help me build

Ive been playing with this Mega Sceptile team i created and it seems to be doing decent just not good that doesnt change the fact thaim still having fun while using it
