Non-Meta Pokémon VGC Team Building Guide & Strategy
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a deep dive into non-meta team building for restricted BST tournaments. Community members are collaborating on unique strategies featuring Torkoal, Heliolisk, and Crabominable, while debating the effectiveness of Trick Room versus Tailroom setups. This discussion provides valuable insights for players looking to optimize their rosters for specialized competitive formats.
Can anyone help me in building a team using the mons in the below mentioned. It is for some tournament where no Meta and Megas are allowed. https://haru-exe.github.io/forkthemetapokedex/

Planning to build around TR Torkoal, Solar Power Heliolisk and Crabominable
Ya they are considering BST. It should be less than 490
Ya noted and what about lycanroc midnight form with this team?
Built this team. Open to any suggestions or changes in the team. If you have any other ideas based on the list, I am ready to try that as well.

Instead of. Crab why not use Mawile?
Yep, good one. But wouldn't Crab hit harder and is more bulky?
In this format I think crab is better
Ya, also need suggestion. Should I just go hard TR and have something to play outside TR as well?
I'm always for tailroom as it's more flexible as you aren't forced into playing just one mode
If you go hard trick room you need trick room to be up the question is can you do that safely and do it always
For Tailroom, the only mon I think of is Whimsicott with sash which can do both
I like to have different setters for both with reuniclus and spiritomb for tr and volcarona with tw as my setters
But I'm definitely all in with Cofagrigus being the choice for tr setter
True. But this format doesn't allow Volcarona. Will have to come up with something else
Yep
Cofagrigus looks the best to me here
Ya thanks
Any suggestions on Mimikyu. Not so sure on that
Used it It was good for me
Hmmm ok
Should I be worried about fairy types?
Depends on the rest of the team
Yeah. Thank you very much all
If you got a steel and a poison type ypu dont care about them
How is the team coming together
Ya. I am working on it. Trying different things for scrafty, using it like incin or invest in attack
Also, still have some doubts on mimikyu and helio. Not sure of items on them
What items were U using
Switching between scarf and wise glasses for helio to use it outside tr. But with solar power, you need torkoal on field and speed are two extremes
Scarft is the best option most of the time
So then will go with scarf and volt switch
Can you send the team
Is this really the entire list of pokemon?
This isn't a no meta tournament, this is a no pokemon tournament
Lol yeah!!! 😂
But seemed like fun. So wanna try

Now, I am trying to see if I can replace cof with whimsicott which can give me both TR and Tailwind
