Meta Team Build Help for VGC Tournament
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement starts a thread to build a competitive meta team using a shared Pokepaste and replays. Members discuss mons like floette, basculegion, sinistcha, chomp and gambit, ask for EVs moveslots and matchup advice, and prepare the team for upcoming tournament play and the Grand Festival. This matters to the community for practice and final tuning.
Alright here we go, time to stop messing around with off meta bs and now make the most broken meta team. The current paste is this: https://pokepast.es/6498c212eba5b649 and I'd like help improving it as a whole, I don't mind Mons coming and going. Open to any suggestions, that is to how I use it, potential danger Mons, EVs, moveslot changes and so on and so forth. Image for optical ppl:
My turn to ask for team help:))
Let's join this build hehe
I do like it at first glance, and it ain't even TR
Lemme finish some more matches and enter this thread
Here I am
I will play a few with this, expect to have no valuable input whatsoever tho
This is way different of a play style, got to get used to this first
Back
Ohko gambit
Ohko bridge
I really don't get how to play this :D
Potential Mon additions: basculegion, sinistcha (makes me run cm kiss on floette), different chomp set, gambit, sneasler
Idk what I should change if I should
Oh I also ohko blasto mega
With floette
I ohko the settee
Aka giraffe
Also milo walls and beats a big part of that team
Yeah I understand what you are saying
Milo floette lead probably
Aero incin

Uh aegi plus floette
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2588307905-alopofdf90722w2olkbqx8cgbpj6rdhpw
I mean it works
I just really have to get used to this playing style
If I am going to go this route I have one week left to get the team ready, meaning I have to finish ZA
Next week I compete in the Grand Festival XD
, I would play with this for a bit
It seems to work quite well, just tweak where needed
Milo set doesn't need the recover
So how is it looking
might go over to icy wind personally
Oh it does
when
I brought milo like 5 or 6 matches, it never had to use it
A lot of endgames are able to be won because you got burns
And you just recover and Milo Vs all
All right
I will keep playing with this for now
See how high up I can get
Already got it
I'm beam recover scald tect
Nope
Nah I don't wanna boost Milos and gambits Vs this team
Burn it
recover stall?
It does bring roost ofc
True, I'll just try to blitz it early or Milo stall it
Also aegi Milo walls
Also I need recover for sunroom mu
This team does play nicely into zard
Aero solos
IF you read protects correct
What is the exact team again
That one has Arch to right
Aero, chomp, aegislash
I think and then uhhh
do we take floette here, probably not unless we can guarantee tailwind?
Floette is a power house even into resists and I see only one
technician bullet punch may hurt tho

4 turns XD
Probably aero plus milo lead, floette plus aegi in the back
Even if that is hard
Maybe not even take floette
In favour of incin
Almost said the same, would doubt the milo cause of arch
Nah we need Milo to get one scald on basc and beat sneas in rain as well as scizor and giraffe endgame
Floette only struggles against scizor tho
One scald on basc means I no with sneak
But yeah it's rough
Depends on what he brings
Every Mon is an issue except sneasler
I just threw so hard
damn
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2588325541-s3t7hppb6wvabkltpwo7y65ljofcoy5pw
Yard MU in a nutshell
74% gengar mega does not get killed by shadow sneak aegi
I thought it did
And once again, not running calcs loses me a game
Yeah it does lol it needs a bit of chip
26% of its hp aint chip then?
I literally had it happen, no burn, no attack drop :D
It was probably just bulky af
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2588330612-qidesor3fo0c3w68v3avsh7c09jkbacpw
It had to be, then again, still lost the game XD
I mean I ain't having no problems with it
I bet 2-3
Beat
ofc I also missed LoR on gambit
yeah, I was crying indeed
what do you think of sacred sword over iron head, into gambit
It is more of a last turn attack to have a higher shot at the OHKO
Have ya been testing still or not anymore
I'm on a trip actually
So not really
I see
I went back to TR
I like it more hehe
