Mega Raichu X & Staraptor VGC Team Building Help
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a community discussion on optimizing a Mega Raichu X and Staraptor team. Members are debating move sets, core synergies, and the inclusion of water-type support to balance the team's speed and offensive stats. This thread provides valuable insights into competitive team building and strategic adjustments for current VGC formats.
I have almost completed my Raichu X team but I don’t know what mon I should use as my final mon. I also made two bases to build on and if I should change the moves or the mons please say it. Also please don’t recommend me incin, sneasler, kingambit, farig, gholdengo, archaludon or pelipper

Id swap armarogue for Ceruledge and add a water mon
Milo
Gives you a nice fire water grass core
Wait. Mega Raichu x is physical attacker no? 🤔
Yes but he can also be a special attacker
I personally want Armarouge over ceruledge
Your better making y a special attacker way higher spa stat
Thats okay play what you like ceru just better out of TR.
Id still add a water mon
Yes. The spa stats diff is so high.
Also should I switch Raichu back to physical or is special fine
Should I add basc or a different mon
I am confused about sweepers having to setup for themselves.
ie. M Raptor TW or Arma TR
I want to play rouge to support the team and I want to be able to use raptor when he isn’t mega evolved
Also I want him to support the team
But your team's speed is mid ie. it gets outspeed unboosted by most threats.
Its outsped in TR by TR specific mons.
I get if you want to TR to remove TR but Arma too fragile outside TR and is not a guarantee TR. Also is not guaranteed to move TR first.
Armor --> Hisuian Arc
Meow --> Kinggambit
This team is very similar to Cybertrons

This team was one that I heavy disregarded but it came up in a tournoment and almost costed me Top Cut
I already put that I personally don’t want kingambit
But if I was to go with that team I would need sinishcha as my last mon correct?
via core mons ie. Raichu, Raptor, Sylv. Yes.
Fundamentally, no?
ie. Coverage and typing + utility available
Out of curiousity, Meowscarada stack + Sinit - correct?
It was a hypothetical of if I used kingambit
Why not use Milo then?
Serves as another Anti Intimidate
+
Garchomp Counter and speed control
With Icy Wind
True
And it can work in room
And shes pretty bulky so she combos with Star intimidate
So it would be a better option than basc on the team?
And we could also use empoleon
A -Spe natured Milo can work via Mirror Coat, wdyt?
Just keeping options open
If you have a gambit, having sinit can give you options on non-TW games
