Help Building a Garganacl VGC Team
Summary
In Pokémon Champions a novice asks for VGC team building help centered on Garganacl. They want both Trick Room and Tailwind modes and list Mega Slowbro Kingambit Incineroar Dragapult Whimsicott and Garganacl. They note trouble against Archaludon and request advice on replacements sets and overall synergy.
I'm basically a complete novice in vgc and need help building a team. I've thrown some shit together but it kind of sucks. I'm extremely attatched to having garganacl on the team and quite attatched to having both a trick room and a tailwind mode, but the individual mons can change. I struggle a lot with beating archaludon rn.

thoughts on the guys:
Slowbro is one of the guys im considering replacing - havign my mega also be my TR setter has been weird.
Similarly I'm not sure whether I should still have Kingambit, bc I already have incin and then thats 2 dark types
Incin is afaik a fairly standard set? its been good for me
Whimsicott has taunt instead of protect to beat other whimsicotts, otherwise standard
Dragapult has been awkward to use. I'm considering going for something bulkier that cna still take advntage of tailwind
Garg is the one guy Ireally dont want to replace. I am considering getting rid of salt cure tho bc they nerfed it
