Mega Mawile Trick Room Build Discussion

I love Mega Mawile, believe she's currently the best hard trick room carry. With screen extension in the game I also think hard trick room has a chance now even against zard spam. Open to suggestions and critique

Team explanation:
Grimmsnarl is really good at slowing down hyper offence teams, taunt is mainly there to counter the annoying scaraptor and stop its healing
Milotic was a late edition, initially had Goldengo there but he struggled a bit into zard slop/intimidate spam, and there's a looootta intimidate going around you're basically throwing if you don't have a defiant user
Aromatisse is just my fav trick room setter, can be swapped with the the giraffe or the monkey, your preference really
Surprisingly I found I rarely bought the sinistcha and mostly felt bad when I did bring him (besides the few games the gacha goes crazy) so considering swapping it out. Aromatisse really does bring enough healing most of the time

Gengar-Staraptor Team Build Advice

https://pokepast.es/fa13d89d2435dee8

When looking for a mon to beat starapator I found gengar, and decided to build a team around it and staraptor (Scrafty would be my other choice since it has better synergy with gengar overall but until the hype around staraptor dies down its a bit difficult to use especially since I like using incin)

The team is rly solid and works well overall but there are 3 things bugging me.

For one I have 2 dark types and 2 ghost types, and I don't like having more than 1 repeating type on my teams, the fact that both my megas are weak to psychic is annoying but dealable since gengar can also hit psychic for super effective, more importantly the fact that I have 4 physical attackers and 2 special attackers bugs me a hell lot.

The only real reason I have sinistcha rn is bcause it completes the fire grass water trio that was rly strong on my old team, but I could see replacing it with farig.

Out of incin and grimmsnarl I prefer incin bcause I rly like using taunt incin, but Idk what I'd replace grimmsnarl with.

Araquanid can be replaced with say primarina but I rly like wide gaurd so idk

Staraptor + Mega Steelix Team Idea

The thought is to switch to ateelix as my mega in a pikachu or other unfavorable matchup.

Mega Swampert Team Help and Suggestions

Hi all, I originally built this team with the intention of having arch and scarf staraptor in the lead to either u turn into peli to switch in rain after mega or to nuke my opponent’s mega lead with final gambit. Then I’ve got mega swamp in the back to clean.

I kinda just threw sinistcha and drampa to have an alternate trick room mode if I ever run into a matchup I really don’t like with swampert but I feel like my current set doesn’t synergize well with my other mons. Would love suggestions

Tyranitar Meganium Team Help for VGC

So I have this team here, I made it to use Lycanroc (I love it) but to also counter all the meta threats I've personally heard about! Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any improvements I could make for the team, any flaws, and any pokemon changes I could make. The only thing I'm not willing to change is Lycanroc being in the team

In terms of Tyranitar EV's I wanted him to be strong but more bulky.
