I had to guess for all of the evs and some of the moves since there was only 1 game on stream. I want to know if you assume anything is different so I can use the team as accurately as possible. I’ll link the video in the 1st message of the post

Feeling lost on a team to grind ranked with , not really a fan of playing meta teams but also not really having much luck with the teams I'm building / testing. Any recommendations / underrated mega's , cool move / ability interactions are appreciated 🙂

Dragonite has quickly became my favourite mega simply bcause it is rly hard to remove and has utility. I originally tried dragonite venasaur and then dragonite scissor but I found that I lacked spread damage.

So recently I paired dragonite with an old favourite of gardevoir, but the team feels like something is wrong with it but I ain't completely sure

https://pokepast.es/139ca716d3656798

Gard and Dragonite are fairly self explainatory. When I added back dragon pulse to my old draco meteor set I found I just kept clicking dragon pulse so I put protect on dragonite. Gard is a reg bulky tr set.

I felt like I needed something like scissor for those setup floette raidboss teams but scissor itself just felt off without the mega so I used aegislash. Incin is using roar to give more tools against setup, perish and hard tr. Mamoswine is just rly underutilised in the format in my opinion, ya it dies quickly but it hits a lot of pokemon for super effective.

Rotom wash is by far the most suspect pokemon. Screens is rly good util but it doesn't feel like it does much aside from that. I could run scarf but unlike dragonite I know that I prefer a way to protect gardevoir since it is weak to a lot of common pokemon.

Any suggestions on what I should fix are welcome

Not sure what to even name this, but wanted to know what you guys think

so this is my first ever team that I have been using for abit now, but it always felt incomplete.

What the team is meant to be is a Perish trap team that I can pivot to a rain team, Mega Gengar is the centre of this team he is meant to lockdown a Pokémon in the field to maybe perish song or too help me win the weather war. They are also built to kill Pokémon that my team might struggle with such as Sinitea, a slow basculgeon, mega frosslass and other.

Politoad is here to help the team out like setting perish up while Gengar is just trying to survive, switching in to it so it tanks the move, set up rain so that we stop Charizard Y and Venu or tyranitar and steelix, and do some damage when it get the chance to.

Primarina is here to counter pokemom my other Pokémon struggle against such as garchomp, kommo-o, Charizard when we’re in the rain, and is pretty much our rain sweeeper and with the Welp of Gengar we can stop Pokémon from switching in and out an KO them.

Kommo-o is a set up sweeper who is here to deal with kinggambit, garchomp, and other we have two other Pokémon to him set up

Sneasler / Sinitea, this two are here to counter and help support the team, such as Sinitea healing kommo-o when he user that one move and help Gengar stay alive during the perish tik down. Now sneasler is here to threaten Pokémon with fake out in the start of a match, and maybe killing kinggambit, Charizard y and floette who my other Pokémon my struggle against.

https://pokepast.es/85aeba547c3b8713

But as I said this Pokémon team seems incomplete, so I would love advice to improve this team.

Srry for the bad explaining and bad photos

I wanted to make a team that make Basculegion the besst endgame threat possible. Its able to take an Adaptability boosted 150 Last Respects from opposing Basc thanks to the berry.
The gameplan is to lead M Gardevoir with support in order to chip opponents down for Basculegion to pick every KO it needs to.

I would like to know if there's anything i could improve

Idrc if it’s alpha or not!
Also I want shiny girly pokemon if anyone wants to help🤭

Alright guys, new season new team.
Here I come with, as the title suggests, a meta slave team featuring sun (yard ofc) and venu, which seems to not be the go to in the current meta, with whim having wayyyy too much usage over it or it holding the mega stone, which obviously I'm not so it's a completely different Mon.

As for EVs, I'm about to go in a basic breakdown for all the benchmarks hit just if any nerd like me cares (probably the best part of the team)

Venu, always takes a dwb from mega aero after sitrus pop, takes two +1 moonblasts from floette and outspeeds every relevant Mon under sun, rest spatk

Yard, takes Ada slide from chomp, creeps rotom creep, rest spatk (probably changing to creep fucking vivillon creep because f that mf)

Chomp, insanely bulky set, takes heat wave into claw from most yard chomp leads being able to punish em insanely hard

Sylveon, generic sylveon EV popularized by the ariados guy, takes heat wave into eq from most chomp yard leads iirc

Adamant sash basc, pretty straightforward, the go to for basc in high ladder sadly

Gambit takes Sneas cc with chople pop and two hyper voices from gard iirc

Sitrus on Venu for all the calcs I said, here to stick around and be the only "speed control" of the team with sleep powder WHICH IS GOING TO HIT OK

Yard, nuke button overheat comprehends for defendive EVs, no one expects air slash to say goodbye to sneasler, don't need solar beam since leaf storm venu CLEARS

Bulky scarf chomp here to stick and not be the destroy them button, just annoying damage dealer to chip everyone down/clean endgames/kill glimmoras. You do not need to OHKO stuff if you outspeed them and survive the double up mindset

Sash Basc boringggggggggg. Will not bother explaining since you probably already know

Caught a full odds shiny heracross. Want to use it. I do think mega heracross has potentail its just the current meta contains alot of threats for it

I have an Idea for a set based around Mega Blastoise under tailwind with a secondary sun mode with Hisuian Typhlosion I'ma post the thread here since I need help with picking two last mons to help support this idea(Maybe even abandon and lean fully on one)

Hey ! I've started VGC with champions and out of all the teams I built I really like this one ! I love trick room but HTR is really hard to run imo, so I opted to have a tailwind mode with Aero. I'll explain the decisions for every mon :

• I made Fari extremely bulky on the physical side to be able to tank 2 close combats for sneasler. The worst matchups of the team are Kommo-o and hydreigon from the testing I made. So I added dazzling gleam and 8 points in Spa to be sure to one shot fully offensive sets for the two dragons.

• What I really wanted to do was to have fari + bascu, wich is the main lead of team. Being able to helping wave crash to OKHO a majority of the meta, all the while being protected from kingambit sucker punch is really strong imo. Is also really good to pivot with flip turn and clean up after trick room ended. I opted for adamant to be sure to one shot fully offesive zard y under sun, and also have the advantage against other scar bascu when in trick room, but maybe jolly is better

• Torkoal is really standard. I don't really need coverage since I have earth power on venu and rock slide on aero, so i went with the full fire set to cover up for most gamestates.

• Venu is kind of the star of the team, being able to do a torkoal/venu lead and sleep stuff with powder before mega evolving, or outspeeding speedier threats under TR and powering them as well ! It's just really versatile and works without it's mega, so i can bring it even when I go with Mega aero. Since it's speed stat is average it works well in both modes.

• Kingambit is just super strong under trickroom. Venu is already my fairy counter so I dropped iron head for low kick cause I really needed a fighting moove (half of my mons don't have protect so i need it on him). Went with a brave nature to beat other gambits under TR.

• Aero has a very straightforward set and is here to fix sun and rain matchupps with rock slide and tailwind. Bascu/Venu work great under wind.

Trying to make a team around vilvillon need some advice and help as well
