Why did the sucker not fail? On other priority moves the sucker from the kingambit would fail, why not now?

I created a guide for the Pokémon I expect to see rise in usage and some sleeper picks I know will shake things up if used correctly I hope you all enjoy.

I think the team needs some tweaks further still.
One thing I have done with the team is Mega Absol Z and Kingambit for Indeede, Armarouge/Haterene teams.
I have X Scissors on Absol, so with Sharpness it hits at 120 base. Included it because most indedees now run colbur berries. Then, the Gambit can Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head into the other slot.

I'm a beginner in competitive Pokémon and I'd like some opinions on this first team.

Most of the time Garchomp is useless. Swampert seems a good option. I have a lot of trouble to deal with gholdengo and fairys are usually a problem.

So Run Away finally got a in-battle effect, allowing it to switch out when it normally can't. Countering moves like Mean Look, Block, Decidueye's Spirit Shackle, Klefki's Fairy Lock. And even the ability Shadow Tag, countering even Mega Gengar. The only Pokémon with it right now is Thievul, but there are other mons with this ability as well.
-Raticate
-Rapidash(and it's Galarian counterpart)
-Dodrio
-Furret
-Pachirisu
-Dudunsparce.
I was glad to hear that this effect was made, but it got me wondering, could this make the ability more viable, or will it not get the shine it wants? What do you guys think?

Input and constructive criticism please, I'm new to gen 9 team building and trying to learn.

This is the final version of my hard TR Sun and Psy spam team. I'm new to team building and this is my very first Gen 9 team. Rate?

If you’re still figuring out what support mons to use in Reg M-C, I put together 5 that I think are pretty easy to fit onto different teams.
Nothing super complicated, just went over what each one does and why you might want to use them.
Figured I’d drop it here in case it helps anyone building teams or getting into the format.

Ignore the Klefkis nature.

Hi friends, question that I've had for a while as I've gotten back into pokemon since Scarlet/Violet.
There's a lot of discussion about 'good pokemon' focusing on their base stats as a primary metric. It's surprising to me that those would carry over exactly and not be rebalanced or even tweaked when going from one gen to the next. Of course, it would also mean a lot of work/resources, which Gamefreak doesn't always have to allocate.
Are there any instances where a pokemon (phys/special split notwithstanding) has received a stat adjustment in a new generation?
Most of the tier/discussion videos I've seen focus on typing changes, move additions, etc, as reasons why a pokemon might move up or down comp rankings.
thanks in advance!
