Annihilape+Maushold Team Help

So i cooked this team up but I'm not convinced on Kingamnit and Archaludon.
I feel like Anni/Maus/Chari/Whimsi is a strong core but i don't really know what other 2 mons can give value to this team.
Basically my strat is enter Maushold+Annihilape with Chari+Whimsi in the back
1st turn Maushold beat up on Annihilape ideally to set up Rage Fist + Bulk up on Annihilape.
2nd turn Follow me to not get hits on Anni + Drain Punch to recover health or rage fist to try and one shot an opposing pokemon.
When maushold dies i send out Whimsicott for a nice Tailwind and have charizard in the back if i need it to finish up

I would appreciate advice on a couple useful mons for this strat and or better EV training

Building a Competitive Trick Room Team | Pokémon VGC Guide

My objective with the team is to use Crabominable and Sylveon in a trick room team, although I'm finding it hard to justify running both and not just make a trick room team around one or the other. Any advice on which pokemon to run? I figured I'd probably want Sinistcha and Farrigiraf at least as trick room setters, since hatterene could just fill out sylveon's fairy damage slot.

Help Building My First VGC Team

Hello everyone!

After so many years I am finally able to play Pokemon VGC thanks to a mobile release. Even though I was following some creators on yt, I know nothing about team building (but I will learn, I promise 😁).
At the moment I need help to build my first ever team. I think I got some decent core pokemon, but got no clue what to do with them. My end goal is to run only Gengar teams, but thats in the future and when I get him.
Right now, I just want to lift off and start mastering the game, so I need something for the start. Thanks for you help in advance ❤️

Mega Floette Eternal Team Guide

I downloaded Pokémon Champions today, and I was really drawn to Floette-Eternal, so I got her and I want to build a competitive team around her.

I have all the Pokémon, so there won't be a problem, I can use any Pokémon.

Rain Perish Team Breakdown VGC Tips

Gengar and swam are the 2 main Pokémon in this team who do their specific roles in the team. Gengar is the anchor of perish side of the team and if I don’t wanna do perish I can just use him offensively to deal with treats like mega Frosslass, annilhape, goldengo, whimsicot, and opposing mega Gengar. Swampert is the anchor of the rain team cuz of his swift swim ability making him hella fast in rain and is able to deal with treats that gengar can’t aka GROUND types he is pretty tricky to use at times cuz of other Pokémon who are looking to set up weather mainly Charizard. Politoad is the rain setter for Primarina or Swampert to sweep or for to set up perish trap for Gengar. Annilape is the genagr and kinda Swampert since he can deal with Pokémon that both of them are supposed to deal with steal types for Swampert and ghost types for Gengar and he does decent damage to the other Pokémon that my other Pokémon might struggle with like whimsi and Venu. Primrina is our main Pokémon to deal with dragon type Pokémon cuz of them being completely immune to their attacks and being able to hit them super effective damage and also can but pressure on them fire type like zard and torol when we are in the rain cuz in the sun just like swamp she get absolutely destroyed since bot Pokémon and solar beam. I don’t what to use for my last Pokémon I have tried Grimsnarl, and Sinitea but they both have their problems.

Staraptor + Dragalge Team Showcase

https://pokepast.es/2d5fcde97ffb0028

Mega staraptor and dragalge have a lot of inherit synergy, they are both bulky megas at opposite speed tiers that do a lot of damage and are useful even in their base forms. Therefore I made a team around them.

Dragalge, staraptor and incin are all self explanetory. Farig is a tr setter with roar and priority block making it a good counter for other staraptors and sinistcha is a tr setter with rage powder and matcha gotcha so it can stop swampert.

Corv is an odd set but I didn't want it to do the exact same thing as staraptor and I needed another somewhat fast pokemon so it doesn't end up being hard tr.

Out of these pokemon I am most unsure abt keeping curse on sinistcha, its a remenant of my old team and could be protect or shadow ball but curse is still useful sometimes. I'd rather use something like araquanid over corv tbh, but I don't want the team to be too sluggish.

Any other suggestions are open and while life orb farig might seem off it hits so freaking hard and is the only way to make farig feel rly powerful without throat spray

Mega Pyroar x Staraptor Team Spotlight

I stole @/ib_studio 's idea pyroar muhaha (oh yeah thanks for the idea, made me go from hating the guy to loving it) and staraptor seems cool. the only thing that i did that I myself would question is giga drain on whims over moonblast, but I want to hit mega swampert since that the only really big threat to this team and one of the only pokemon i see becoming a potential meta threat (along with raichu Y).

This team is mostly fast and has both whims and scrafty (my child) as supporters, sneasler is sneasler, Gholdengo is just press big button, Pyroar outputs massive damage, while staraptor sticks around after a CC or 2.

Base Malamar Breaks the Meta

I was looking at how physical the meta is, and was recommended from a pro friend… Base Malamar? I was just as confused as you are, but you just have to play this team to understand how BROKEN this mon is into the meta. I’m ready for people to call this team bad, but I assure you it isnt
