Mega Charizard Y Sun Team Advice
Summary
In Pokémon Champions this announcement shares a VGC sun team built around Mega Charizard Y with Whimsicott, Garchomp, Incineroar, Venusaur, and Kingambit. The post requests suggestions, notes the team is a common copy-paste sun archetype, and warns it struggles versus Trick Room, rain, and sand. It encourages using the team to learn VGC nuances before building new comps.
I am very new to building a team in the VGC format lol any suggestions to my work in progress team?

You are pretty much running a y zard copy paste sun team
This team is popular because of how easy it is to use for befinners
Using any variation of this team you are going to struggle in trick room, rain, and sand
Use it to learn the nuances of vgc and how to play better then build something new
