Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement reviews a Raichu Y team with specific advice on moves, items, and spreads. Suggestions include replacing Double Team with Fake Out on Raichu Y, using Flare Blitz over Close Combat on Arcanine, preferring Rock Slide for spread and flinch, considering Choice Scarf on Basculegion, and swapping Talonflame for Whimsicott or Aerodactyl for better tempo and support.

Ok so first glaring thing
You're wasting double team on Yaichu
Double Team increases evasion
No guard cancels that out
You're always going to get hit you've gotta accept that
ah ok.... that what i through as well
I'd replace double team for fake out
Ok so
I don't think you need close combat on Arcanine I'd run flare blitz
Iron head is ok but personally
Rock slide is better to flinch both targets for the same chance
- you get spread damage
Which means you could replace head smash too
Basculegions held item is awkward if you wanna guarantee you move first you'd run choice scarf
Flare Blitz into Talonflame is kind of negative synergy with its focus sash
Maybe you could replace it for another move...? Its attack stat is so awful anyhow
Or you could replace Talonflame for another Pokemon like for example Whimsicott or Aerodactyl for even faster or priority tailwind and more threat into dragon types + other tech like encore
Whimsicott would also allow you to use fake tears to enhance potential into Yaichus KOs (I'll also get on to why in a second since I'll recommend a better Yaichu spread)
Get rid of brick break on Garchomp it benefits more from Dragon Claw
You only have one ground immunity(Or none if you go for my advice of Whimsicott) so use Stomping Tantrum instead
Now personally
You can replace Flapple for Sinistcha
Sinistcha adds more support for Raichu with rage powder which will allow it to survive for longer and matcha gotcha is really really good plus you also get to reverse trick room with it which will also be troublesome when running Yaichu
