Seeking VGC Team Feedback and Improvements
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member shares a successful team seeking improvement after a 21-3-1 masterball run and top 250 BO1 top 160 BO3 on Showdown with ~70% win rate. The post asks whether the team is meta-proof, notes trouble vs balance teams like floette and delphox with double fake out, concerns about Big 6, and questions Mawile and Raichu sets while requesting suggestions.
This team has done some real work for me and I’m looking to improve it. I went 21-3-1 in masterball tier and got up to 1910 very easily. On Pokémon showdown I reached top 250 on the BO1 ladder and top 160 in BO3 with around a 70% win rate in both. I know it is strong but I have some concerns.
- I don’t see anybody running a team like this so im not sure if this is just a team that works against the current meta or is actually just strong.
- It can struggle into some balance teams (mainly the floette and delphox team with double fake out)
- Big 6 is a winnable matchup but I do feel that if they are playing very good it is unfavorable.
I’ve been playing vgc on and off for about a year (mostly on showdown bc I don’t have a switch) so I’m not too experienced but I do believe I play good games. If you have any suggestions or questions about the team please reach out.

I have considered switching intimidate for hypercutter on mawile to keep her damage up
true, but you can also just position her at a different time. yk what i mean?
is this a tanky raichu?

idk its a interesting team
i dont really know what to change on first glance
wouldnt protect be better than volt switchthough
i use a very similiar, but with sash and protect
It could be but it helps me deal with peliper which can be a problem for my team
It’s a very different team and I’m surprised it works as well as it does. I thought it was a best of 1 only team until I climbed really high in BO3
very nice
but i could barely tell anything thats like wrong here
good team
Thank you
I guess I should just work on the evs to help with some matchups then
