It highlights the community's active role in refining competitive builds for VGC play.
So I made a team that I feel like has good coverage. At first I made this team to counter TR. Then I just started pairing Pokémon together for the best synergy. Just looking for insight on what y’all might think about the team or what I can do/change to make this better!

It’s a cool team you could use encore over endevour
Theirs not much to support staraptor here
Well actually I think hurriance is the wrong pick you needed brave bird their or duel wing beat if it learns it
The perish is cool but it doesn’t really have synergy with the team
Ice beam could be cool over that for some coverage
drizzle on politoed to enable elec shot and hurricane to both be 100%
As long as i dont lose weather battle
i changed for ice beam on poli
do you think i should stay away from weather battle with this team?
With arch you’re kinda forced to have some rain I think
ill break down all the syngery and see what you would think
i had an idea just now
i pair whim with M star alot
contrary obv reverses all stat changes
what if i put momento on whims. use a tail wind then momento on star... force killing whim but boosting stars attack and special attack by 2 stages
nvm just gonna use charm. dont need SpAtk with star and charm does the same thing without force killing whim
