Mega Skarmory VGC Team Building | Pokémon Champions

So I’m up at about 5 in the morning writing this. Decided I wanted to throw something fun together to use for the tourney Sunday and figured that mega Skarmory could be fun to take a look at, given the fact that I feel it matches nicely into a lot of the new pokemon introduced in M-C

https://pokepast.es/976ea229c4070746

This is what I got so far, mostly just going for heavily offensive tailwind team that’ll be fun to fuck around with Sunday. Any suggestions on the what the last two mons could be as well as any input on the current team is appreciated

Kleavor & Charizard VGC Team Guide | Pokémon Champions

I found Kleavor to be a fun tailwind option that can take out threats like volcarona and Charizard with a good balanced typing. Rillaboom helps into its weaknesses and lets it get some tempo with fake out. Garch Z pairs decently well as a special offensive threat and with the stealth rocks up, it can get kills easier. It also kills indeedee f and chips farig down to a koable range for garch z to finish. Incineroar helps against threats such as mega golis and just generally synergises with the team. Milotic gives an intimidate counter for threats like salamence and utility with life dew. Water coverage also helps the team. CharY gives nice weather support and burst damage outside of garch z in bad matchups with things like golis and fros. Am open to changes

Mega Salamence & Floette VGC Team Building Guide

I’ve built this mega mence floette team a bit ago but I realized a serious flaw with it and that’s rillaboom and floette. Rillaboom isn’t too much of a problem but I realized that rilla kinda wants to switch out a lot but I put the grassy seed on it to make it bulky so it could tank a dire claw very well. Then the floette set feels really problematic because I feel like it’s not doing enough damage post calm mind. While I know that it’s missing KOs on quite bulky mobs I still feel that something’s off. I also have been using dragon rush on my mence recently for higher damage output but I know how inconsistent it can be at times so I don’t want to make it a habit and I really don’t want to use special or mixed mence

Mega Metagross VGC Team Building Guide & Strategy

I kinda just put together the ideas
Thing is I wanna try m metagross team so I added rain so it could survive some fires , added terrain for steel roll , sneasler for boost can't decide on 6th mon so I put a placeholder raichu .

Is this team synergy good ?
I am struggling to make it work i almost 90% of time don't use steel roll should I remove it ? And is grass rilla terrain better or inde one ? Also it's hard to get coaching on meta so should I replace move?
Any another suggestion pls

Also pls tell whom to put in 6th place

Sharpedo VGC Team Building: Strategy & Optimization

Paste

ok so i got a shiny sharpedo and wanna try getting it working reliably. this team has issues, but works surprisingly well.

the Dive helps sharpedo survive longer to get to high speed, and if you TR and dive at the same time hes under for 2 turns which is funny 😄

help me improve it????
it struggles into M-golisopod, HTR, and if they have a rilla AND a raichu its a real uphill battle

Pokémon VGC Team Building: Optimizing Glimmora & Basculegion

https://pokepast.es/094b24ed8cedd913
This is the team I’ve been using. Two things though.
1. Mega Glimmora
It has a clear role here, its for opposing volcaronas, zardys and fairies however I always bring Froslass to like 99% of my match ups. Even against fairies I will preferably deal with them with Volcarona. Against Zardy teams, they usually have stuff like scarfed chomp which just kills my glimmora-I know, play around it but even so having Froslass to regain the weather is pretty nice. It can set up aurora veil and heat wave in the snow does not pick up the ohko on Froslass. Even if I’m bringing glimmora it will be mega froslass + base glimmora which makes me wonder what the mega stone is even for. Against dua weather I am even more likely to bring Mega Froslass, though sometimes I bring base glimmora as well.
2. Scarfed Basculegion
Its been doing its job well but I wonder if Scarfed Chomp is better. Covers alot of stuff that basculegion doesn’t, but my own rillaboom nerfs my own earthquake. I should probably just keep the basculegion
