Sand Team Advice vs Trick Room and ArchaLudon

Summary

In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a discussion seeks sand team advice to handle Trick Room and ArchaLudon. Suggestions include Corviknight over Aerodactyl for Tailwind to free Focus Sash on Excadrill, using Kommo-o with leftovers instead of Garchomp for synergy, changing Rotom items for bulk, and running Delphox or Encore to trap ArchaLudon.

I think a lot of sand teams like going corviknight instead of aerodactyl for tailwind, it would also free up focus sash for excadrill

some sand teams go kommo-o, synergizes well with sinitcha and should help with archaludon

I would probably say leftovers kommo-o instead of garchomp, and use a different item on rotom since idk if leftovers is good on no bulk rotom

With arch I see teams like this running delphox or encore to trap the arch
