Snow EQ Team Help VGC Team Building

https://pokepast.es/a6073db1cf4cc5b9

This is my team, I always try to avoid using meta teams in games in general (so that's primarily why Galarian Slowking is here), but I have a couple flaws with the team I have come up with:

  1. I can't get the Delphoxite because I lost my violet cartridge and I don't have ZA
  2. I learned that all levitate pokemon are immune to any and all terrain effects (even buffs)

So I can't achieve my psyspam / heat wave spam / earthquake dreams... but I wouldn't mind some help on creating a team similar to my original vision. I mainly picked mega delphox because I wanted another powerful attacker to spam earthquake beside, and I really like the rest acrobatics Gliscor thing I have going. Weavile is here because it benefits from snow along with being an underrated fake out user (and it being one of my favorite pokemon), Mamoswine is here to be another EQ user where gliscor can't fit in, I think for what I have it's pretty central to the team. I also have sylveon on the team because I like it along with it being a generally good pick (fairy is really good and its probably the most meta pokemon I have on the team)

Rankings of how badly I don't want these pokemon to change:

  1. Gliscor: Core member, was mainly paired with Delphox but we know how that worked out
  2. Slowking: Another core member, I just generally kinda wanna do stuff with snow & psychic terrain if possible
  3. Mamoswine: For any EQ users that benefit from snow, Mamoswine is likely key (my only thing is that switching it for Baxcalibur is definitely on the table if the need arises)
  4. Weavile: benefits a lot from snow, exceptional fake out user, and I just like it
  5. Sylveon: It doesn't really fit in with my team, but I do like it, and it does provide coverage that I don't have. maybe could switch it for Alolan Ninetales?
  6. Delphox: yk why

I still want to keep the similar core idea (EQ spam + snow + psychic terrain?), but I don't know what I should do, or even what mega I use?

CharY + MFlo Team Feedback Request

https://pokepast.es/cfd930df8879dd12 I’ve took great inspiration off of zeen’s 3rd place VR team (yes I know it’s “metaslop” but that’s what I enjoy) with my twist on it nn a few extra adjustments I would love to know if I should change an item/move like sash over scarf basc or like rock slide over tomb stuff like that or like wg aegi or something I don’t really have that much to say im already bringing a diff team to naic but if this one is just that much good then idk I was also thinking like incin over whims but i genuinely need speed control nn stuff to match that stupid glim team

Dragonite-Delphox Dual Mega Team Feedback

https://pokepast.es/1abc6fe7fc3c1521.

I wanted to make a team around my favourite pokemon, Dragonite. I have used dragonite in the past a lot during reg I, and a bit in reg M-A but I had never used mega dragonite.

Its a dual mega team with dragonite and delphox alongside a supporting cast of side characters... and tinkaton.

I want help and feedback generally abt the team, especially in relation to mega dragonite and tinkaton. I think mega dragonite could do without protect but I ain't sure and I feel like mold breaker tinkaton would be rly funny as I could fake out farig but yet again I ain't sure.

This is both a prototype and an unserious team, but if I like how mega dragonite feels I might choose to make a less gimmicky team around it.

Help Building a Gardevoir Team

https://pokepast.es/433611dbe8d6b3aa.
I made a gardevoir focused team, after spending a lot of time trying out options like volcorona, farigraf, tauros, dragonite and glimmora.

The current team feels pretty decently strong but I do not have any leads prepared, my team is rly weak to fake out + setup and the number of innacurate moves on the team is rly annoying.

I am using aerial ace rather than dual wingbeat so that I miss less often. The imbalance between physical and special pokemon is annoying but I am not sure what I can replace in order to remove said imbalance. I used volcorona earlier and it has pretty good synergy with gard but I found that I was better at using incin over it.

I am asking for general advice with the issues mentioned and if possible, help finding leads

Making Pangoro Viable: TR Team Help

I want to make Pangoro viable as i think i checks most current meta mons. It needs tr, thats why i chose to build a team around it. The team is still incomplete as i need a good option for the last slot. Havent gone into EVs because i forst want to build the core before i deep dive in to the different spreads.

The current team is Farigiraf to enable TR, as it is the best TR setter.
After that its obviously our Panda, he checks basc, gambit, chomp and also has the possibility to check ZardY with rock slide.
Following that are hatterene and torkoal as those two are very strong TR sweeper, also with hatterene i have another TR setter.
The fifth slot goes to Mega Venu to check fairy and water types which arent covered in the team otherwise. Also there is the option to run it without mega into sun of torkoal.

Now i need help to optimize this team and fill up the last slot.

I thought about taking in a second mega so i can cover the mega slot when i use venu in sun without mega. But i'm not sure which to use...

So what are your thoughts about this team? I appreciate everyone who participates in here to make that panda go wild!! Thanks in advance!

Espathra-Boosted Mega Glimmora & Dragonite Idea

https://pokepast.es/d3578c6f6ede983e

Thinking about what I can do with the Espathra I already have built while I don't own Eternal Floette nor Archaludon. Also been wanting to think of fun, non-meta teams.

Came up with this Mega Glimmora/Dragonite idea.

In general, this is the structure:
espathra - lead
talonflame - lead
a-ninetales - core 1
mega glimmora - core 1
sneasler - core 2
dragonite - core 2

Would love thoughts on what would be the big weaknesses that I might be missing or even if probably would not worl at all. Still haven't even tested in Showdown yet, so please be gentle.

Bulky Archaludon Rain Team Discussion

Here's my team. I have questions about what moves they should have, as well as my last team slot.

  • Is mega glimmora a bad 2nd mode mega? Its purpose is to help wallbreak sand and sun teams to let archaludon enter the final 2v2 with rain up.
  • Pelliper needs tailwind if I go mega glimmora, might drop wide guard. For now would muddy water fit my plans better than weather ball?
  • Better situational final member?
  • Maushold population bomb vs beat up?

Reuniclus Trick Room Team Help

so I made this silly but fun Reuniclus team because I want to make it work. Probably will switch Espathra from Speed Boost to Opportunist. I thought it would be cool to have that option in case I don't want to use trick room, but I've been always using it so it's quite a mess.

If anyone has any tips on how to improve it, it's greatly appreciated
