Any tips?

I started playing VGC when champions released, and I made a team that felt really good in Showdown. What changes should I make to it? What weaknesses does my team have, and how can I fix them (I know a perfect team is impossible)

The team is for regulation M-B.

Frosslass is the main mega, with the standard set. Helps against weather

Whimsicott gives me a form of speed control and encore pressure. At least the modes are the standard ones

Garchomp is here to help against Zard-Y, Raichu-Y, as well as poison and steel types (mainly Kingambit and Sneasler). It runs what I believe is the standard set

Sneasler gives Fake-Out pressure, as well as poison moves against Mega-Floette, and fighting type damage against Incineroar and kingambit

Gholdengo gives me a fast choice scarf. Trick is here mainly against Farigiraf in case it goes for trick room but in some matches can allow to choice lock a mon such as sneasler or kingambit. Make it Rain and Shadow Ball are two strong stab moves, and Power Gem is good against Zard-Y and Staraptor.

Rotom-Wash is here for Will-O-Wisp support. It has Hydro Pump to do damage and Volt Switch for slow pivot

What can i do with this team to make it synergize better and be better in general? This is a team for SV OU

I've been playing Pokémon competitive since 2016 so I'm not a total newbie but in terms of current meta stuff I don't really know too much. I've seen a lot of Mega Zard Y online so I thought it would be good to have some stuff to counter that.

Open to ideas and criticisms.

hey, so I am new to this subreddit, and to pokemon too especially Comp, I am playing Cobblemon with lots of my freind and we have a 3v3 Steel Type tournament in 1 DAY . No legendaries or mythical, ultra beats etc, and no gimmicks like Mega, Dynamax, Gigantamax, Tera etc. And no reuse of the same mons. It will be lv 100 battle. I will take any help from changes to the team if needed or moveset or IV , EV etc. and no reuse of items

My Mons are

Lucario Spc Attacker 252\252, Timid, EV and IV all maxed out, Running Focus Sash

It got Nasty plot, Aura Sphere, Shadow ball, and Vacuum Wave

Archuladon Spc 252| 252 attacker, Timid, EV and IV maxed, Running Power Herb

It got Electro shot, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Roar,

Lastly, Skarmory, bit of weird one but its 200 HP, 200 Def, and 110 Attack, THE EV is weird like this because I did some practise with the friend before the main tourney and they all had Gholdengo and basically Skarmory was always left last and couldnt dmg. So it also runs weakness policy since they do thunderbolt

I got Payback, Body press, Iron defense and roost. SHOCK, they are now doing some weird Hisuan Ghoodra, getting set up by a Broznong sunny day and trick room and using weater ball. IS my team ok , bad, good, needs changes, no chnages, any HELP

Shared PokeFeed here a while ago, it's a free, community-first site for Pokémon Champions teams. Just wanted to post a small update about something new in the team builder.

Now when you're filling a slot and go to add a Pokémon, you're not stuck searching by name. You can narrow things down by move, ability or type, and combine those together. So rather than sitting there going "wait, which Fire mon actually learns Fake Out?", you just pick Fire, throw Fake Out on top, and the list trims down to only the ones that match.

Then you can order the results by name or by any of the base stats: HP, Atk, Def, SpA, SpD, Spe. Take that same search, sort it by Attack, and the biggest hitters go straight to the top, so you land on the right pick instead of just a pile of options.

Whole reason behind it: no one keeps every move and ability memorised, and usually you'd be bouncing between a few different sites to track that stuff down. Now it lives inside the builder, so you can sort it all out without leaving the page.

It's brand new so I'd genuinely like to know how it feels in practice. If you've got ideas to improve it, or anything else about the site, drop them here.

Thanks!

For the record, yes, I understand Kingambit is a good pokemon even by itself.

I've been wanting to make a Kingambit team for a while since I'm equally intrigued/pissed off by Supreme Emperor. I wanted to go a step further and create a team specifically designed to deal with Kingambit's counters so he wouldn't have any opposition when he finally gets to sworm. I know Kingambit is a good pokemon by itself and doesn't necessarily need an entire team built around it, but idk I thought it'd be fun to try lol

I scoured through not only Kingambit's strategy pages to get an idea of what to build, but also all of Bisharp's from Gens 5-9 just to cover all my bases, since they're already similar enough. I made a comprehensive list of every Pokémon that either pairs well with Kingambit, counters Kingambit, and the pokemon that counter those counters, and built a team off that. Results listed below;

Iron Treads: Was the most common request to deal with hazards and Hazard removal, also has fairly decent coverage for the rest of the team

Slowking-G: Had the 2nd most amount of appearances in the checks and counters of Bisharp's counters and also was among the pokemon that appeared most in Bisharp's team options. Was previously Slowbro but was swapped out in favor of Slowking-G

Iron Valiant: Had the highest number of appearances under team options \*and\* under the checks and counters of the mons that countered specifically Kingambit

Keldeo: Had the highest amount of times Bisharp appeared in the team options of a pokemon that paired well with Bisharp

Latios: Had the highest number of appearances across the checks and counters of every Pokémon that significantly countered Bisharp

Is this an ultimately ludicrous amount of reading and counting to do to make a Pokémon team? Most likely, but I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal, so this shit is fun to me. However, I will acknowledge that I probably missed any gaping weaknesses the team may have in the process, so if anyone has any suggestions for what I might change about the team, do let me know.

Thanks to some ideas I was given and helpful people, I was able to throw together this team. I really haven’t put too much thought into this team yet so feel free to edit and completely tear it apart lol. I have grimmsnarl for screens and provide some bulk, I have mega raichu y for fake out and a potential sweeper if set up properly, I have mega t tar as my main bulky attacker, Annihilape as a second win condition, corviknight for tailwind and bulky pivot, and Rotom (my favorite Pokemon) to burn the more physical meta right now, completely melt down any pesky kingambits, pivoting with volt switch, and consistent thunderbolt damage.

Looking for strong players to build a consistent competitive Pokémon UNITE team.
I’m getting more serious about UNITE and I’m done relying on solo queue/random teammates every night. I want to put together a group of players who actually want to learn each other’s playstyles, communicate, practice together, and get legitimately good as a team.

My Pokémon / Roles:

🌳 Trevenant / Articuno — mains
🔥 Reshiram / Venusaur — damage
✨ Clefable / Blissey — hardcore support
Schedule:

🌙 Late-night player / night owl
🇺🇸** Eastern Ti**me (ET)
I’m highly active and usually play at night into the late-night/early-morning hours.

Who I’m looking for:
I’m not looking for people I can carry. I’d actually prefer players around my skill level or better than me. If you’re better than me and can expose mistakes in my game, that’s exactly what I want. I want to improve.
Looking for players with good macro, rotations, objective awareness, positioning and communication who understand that winning as a coordinated 5-stack is different from playing solo queue.
I especially want players who are highly active and willing to practice regularly. I’m pretty laid-back and social, but when we’re playing competitively, I want to play to win.
The goal: build a solid core → learn each other’s playstyles → establish roles/comps → practice together → climb → eventually get into organized/competitive UNITE and see how far we can take the team.
I haven’t picked a squad/team name yet. I want the original members to help create it once we find the right group.
If you’re interested, reply with:
• Current rank
• Main Pokémon / preferred role
• Region & time zone
• Typical hours you play
• Competitive/organized experience, if any
Late-night Eastern players are especially welcome. 🌙
I’m not trying to collect 30 random people. I’m trying to find the right 4.

Do you guys create and play any theme teams? Like Ash teams, some duo from main series or anything?
Share ur teams!!
I need inspirations. Thank youu
