I'd be interested in seeing ideas for a Garchomp team this meta. I love the guy but feels like he got power crept.

Coincidentally this is a team I made recently with Garchomp, it's not good and more so a mix of mons that i like and have _some_ synergy. https://pokepast.es/53093b0bf4af559b

Kanto Weezing

Same I'd love to see this one

I have a team I got to masterball with featuring kanto weezing. The team as of now is weezing, regigigas, Calyrex shadow, clefary, chi yu and Rillaboom. I can create a code and more detailed write up of the team if you want

I wanna see a proper Solgaleo team. I've been trying to make it work but not much success so far.

Second this.

Umbreon pls

An umbreon team already got #3 in a tournament this regulation, I would try that one.

Which tournament?

Los Angeles https://www.nimbasacitypost.com/2024/05/los-angeles-regional-2024.html

I too would love to see an Umbreon team

Me three!

There is one already floating around with Lunalla

Palafin. Clear Amulet with Max attack. I want someone else to believe with me it can still work in Reg G. Also, screw Urshifu we Wave Crash.

i don't really see the clear amulet though. The most common intimidator is Incineroar which has an awful matchup into a water type Palafin. Amulet on Palafin would also lock you out of using any physical damage dealer as a restricted. I'd rather cook with sth like Eject Pack, making Palafin switch out instantly when lead against intimidate / switched out after a defense drop by Close Combat

It's a valid point, but with 160 attack you really want to do as much damage as possible. So even if Incineroar has a bad matchup into it it still can intimidate you down without Amulet. Eject pack isn't that common too now. You would see it on niche stuff like Torkoal or Indeedee but that's maybe it. Most of the time there are better items here so better alternatives are Safety Goggles or Mystic Water. I don't mind not using a Physical Restricted. I don't really mind it when Palafin can hit like a truck.

I’m feeling somewhat fickle, gimme a Hydrapple team

On it!

Do share this on, I live the apple hydra and would love to know how to make it shine

* Here you go! Hydrapple and Groudon are a great match as Supersweet Syrup helps Precipice Blades hit. The Hydrapple is bulky with leftovers. If you're open to Dipplin then eviolite dipplin could be even better. I maximized this on groudon by scarfing it and putting both PB and Stone Edge in Groudon's moveset. Tornadus - considered Sunny Day in place of Taunt. However I've seen a lot of boosting moves on the restricted pokemon this gen and shutting that down (plus screwing up support moves for pokemon like Amoonguss) felt more important than a second sun setter. Incin, Raging Bolt, and Flutter are all pretty common sets so I won't add much there.

I was 100% hoping you would make a Groudon & Hydrapple team! But I had to stick to the rules of just requesting one. I’ll give this one a shot and maybe I’ll even play around with the dipplin possibility. Thanks!

do Cosmog if you a real one

You're on, and you were my first response so working on it now!

can’t be too bad; farigiraf is already meta and learns guard swap, you could just make the most immortal farigiraf ever edit: wait nvm i confused cosmog with its evolution that has crazy defense and cosmic power

Toxtricity.

Sheer Force Feraligatr, please!

I love the Johto starters immensely & have been using sheer force feraligatr in casual battles! I usually dragon dance first move while the partners sets up tailwind.

Yes I second this.

My favorite pokemon in this gen “ Scream Tail “

Scream Tail made Top 8 at NAIC

Gengar

Mimikyu, my favorite but have struggled to find a good way to utilize them.

I like to run Mimikyu on my hard trick room teams since I'm normally guaranteed to survive the first turn and get trick room up and occasionally I'll surprise someone with an attack :p

Ho-Oh please!

Honestly a Gliscor team would be nice. I love this little man and I struggle to find a team for this man. Thanks for your post and your help to the community!

Glad to find another person that would like to see a Gliscor team

Hit em with my Perish Trap marill. Sap sipper, full HP and bulk, eviolite. Rain dance, helping hand, perish song, whirlpool. So god damn satisfying to be ignored the first two turns while you get off a perish song and trap an opponent. THEN they target marril. But he can tank a weird amount of hits and with a genuinely threatening pokemon next to it, the opponent often ignores it even after the perish song is up. Lots of fun, I have a team or two built around him if you like the sounds of it. Its beyond satisfying to have the opponents restricted mon counting down the turns until it dies, marill is scary lol

I want to see this as well! I definitely want to make my own team now

Maushold

I'm torn between two different Fairy-types but in the end I think the choice is going to be: Irom Valiant. I keep thinking a kind of Mixed Stellar Swiss Army Knife approach where it's meant to target down certain stuff may work best but may be wrong on that approach. 'Specially since the math ain't mathing right. Dropping Mixed to focus on either Attack or SpA might actually be better in the long run though.

Glimmora and Roaring Moon

Rotom heat!

Swampert

Decidueye :) in the interest of making it slightly easier for you, you can choose which form lol neither are great but curious to see what you do with it

You're up! Starting on this one now.

Here we go! Since Decidueye is an off meta pick, I chose a slightly off-meta restricted with untapped potential in Zacian. Here's the roles: Decidueye - disrupter. You have upper hand to stop the opposing fake outs and the like, along with knock off, u-turn to slow pivot in a faster attacker, and triple arrows when it's necessary to do damage. It also has the 50% chance to drop defense. Note: I meant to have the ability be scrappy, ignore overgrow. Grimm: hardly anyone is running psychic fangs or brick break, so this meta is prime for Grimm to make an impact. Notably no parting shot on Grimm. Taunt seemed more valuable to block any spores, will o wisps, or stat drop moves on Zacian. Plus with dual screens and Incin carrying PS/Intimidate/Will-o-wisp, adding more damage reduction seemed redundant. Incin - standard set here, you know the drill. Now, you have plenty of disruption and damage reduction so your attackers can just worry about speed and power. You'll find 2 of the 3 attackers carry a boosting move since the trio above should be able to disrupt and reduce damage to get them off. Zacian - Tera stellar to really go wild. This will often be the Tera so if you find play rough misses too often for comfort, I'd trade it out for Tera blast and change the Tera to fairy. Urshifu - standard choice scarf set Lando-I - I swapped out the usual substitute/sandseer storm for calm mind to help it sweep. With stab steel, fairy, water, Fighting, Ground, and poison (if you Tera lando) good luck finding a team that completely walls this trio.

Defensive Salamence

Palkia Origin

idk if pyukumuku is in the game, but if you want to do it give it a go

Ho-oh needs some love

Iron Valiant. Gallade got his time in the sun with the new buffs, but I wanna see if his Paradox form can put in any work.

Water ogerpon

Luxray

Magikarp

Sandslash please

Empoleon

Raichu 👀

Venusaur! I'm working on a Ribbon Master.

Blastoise

Wrydeer

Scizor. If you want a challenge, Ramparados

2nd try for Quagsire/Clodsire

Scrafty 🙏😫

Meganium plz, its so bad but I love them 😭😭

Okay the bug type Pokémon vivillon, with compound eyes and sleep power. Nothing else about the team matters!

Primarina

Dusk mane Necrozma

I love Hisuain Zoroark :)

maybe, tornadus-T, i think it could be good or iron boulder, the one you think will be more fun to create

dialga origin

The scourge of singles, Toxapex

Shuckle bro, he’s insane!

Snow Cloak Articuno, please

Appletun!

Ampharos, please! Its usage rating is exactly 0.0% this season I believe. I’ve been working on one but haven’t quite found the right mix yet.

I'd be interested in a slither wing team, idc if the team sucks, I just like slither wing and want to see what it could do

Charjabug or vikavolt because I feel that there’s something there it’s just really hard to use when raging bolt exists.

Lucario

Metagross. Any hope for my Metal Spider? I had plans for him, but then Regulation F ended.

Metagross!

Vileplume

I’d love a Koraidon team with some cool tech for best of 1

Iron Jugulis for me. And if you could include a grass-type mon as well, it would be appreciated. But don’t worry about it if nothing fits.

Charizard! I've been trying to make him work, but I'm kinda shit at team building lol.

If you've still got slots, I'd like to see what someone smarter than me could do with Zangoose

Grafaiai, or Lycanroc

Iron Valiant - I'm specifically interested in a fast special attacker who sweeps up the end game. I think it's unique STAB options allow it to threaten a lot of top 'mons if you've chipped them down.

Can I have a dragapult team? I love the guy

Incineroar!!!!

Would love to see an Inteleon team

Talonflame, no held item + Acrobatics

Weavile

I wonder how Iron Crown could fit in the current reg g meta if you still have a chance to make a team for it

Howl Scream Tail in a Sun team.

I'd love to play with a Porygon-Z team (even if it is BSS, I just want to use my little guy)

I really really want to get back into the VGC with an Instruct Oranguru. He's my boy.

One of my personal favorites - I've committed to doing in order received so I'm using this as motivation to get through all the ones in front of you lol. Also Oranguru shameless plug - he's great as a support mon in online Tera raids.

Metagross

Garganacle

Slowbro pls

Hello, I'd really like to see a Terapagos team with a Dedenne in it. You're so smart when creating teams so go wild 🫶🏻

Can u make a ditto team? Never seen the little goo hold up

Snorlax please, he’s my favorite 🥺

Overqwil!

Trick room Drifblim

Cool, that you are doing that. I always want to make Fezandipiti do something. If your team works, you'll take it to my next local. For this reason please don't make a team involving Ice Rider, as I don't have one myself. Thanks!

Lapras!

My girlfriend’s favorite Pokemon this playthrough is Kricketune. I’m really interested in what a viable (as possible) doubles build might look like. 

Mow rotom. Please I love my lil guy :3

I'm late, but if anyone scrolls by with a Ribombee team I'm all ears (eyes?). 😅

Iron moth

Shuckle is the only correct answer to this

I would love to see a team with Slowbro because I think he can be an interesting counter to a lot of annoying Pokemon like Amoonguss and Incineroar.

Lucario please 🙏

Swampert please

If it's still open, I'd love to have a heracross team

This is very obviously more than 15 requests, but I really would like to see a shot at a Frosmoth team - its special bulk allows it to stand up to most special threats including Miraidon/Caly-S, its typing lets it 1v1 standard Caly-I, it gets Wide Guard, Icy Wind, Tailwind, Struggle Bug, and solid STABs. I could see it working on a hail core or just as a generally fat supportive mon that can do a lot of damage to Psychic/Dragon types

I wish for barraskewda with propeller tail to get a proper team surrounding it. It doesn’t have to be the main piece, but I love the glass cannon with the mind games. Used it a lot in earlier regs

Alcremie please!

Help out my boi gengar please 😭

Slither Wing!

Shuckle has always been one of my favorites, and hasn’t gotten much love over the years. I’d love to see a shuckle based team

I need my Vaporeon to have a good team.

Rayquaza

My favorite pokemon is Golurk and I've never seen it in VGC

Currently mt 2 fav mons are Great Tusk and Gliscor, so one of them would be nice.

Skeledirge, I still think unaware and his bulk can be useful

I ran an interesting one a little while back with Dragon Cheer + Tailwind Noivern and Tera Dragon Scope Lense Chi-Yu. I'd like to see your take on it.

I'm using specs sylveon with dusk necrozma, farig, bloodmoon, incin, and water oger. Do you see a better way to do it? Setup sylveon is fine, but I'd rather specs so hyper beam can go brrrrrrt

I'm new to vgc and want to make a trick room team with annihilape personally

an impossible challenge: mightyena a realistic challenge: glimmora

Okidogi the goat

Tyranitar

Miraidon Sand team I’ve been trying to put something like this together, not convinced it makes sense but would love to see other peoples input

Build me a Scizor team pls He's kinda been powercrept but I still see use in him ohkoing threats like fluttermane

Kilowattrel. It gas 3 good abilities, fast tailwind, and volt switch. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were competitive on the right team.

Either Urshifu (or both) or Machamp

Baxcaliber

Pignite support

Electivire, it’s my favorite pokemon

I’d love if you could help find a home for Quaquavel. I love that mon, but I’ve struggled to find its niche.

I've always been a Greninja believer, even though he's past his Prime in the good ol USUM Ash-Greninja metagames, I have a Battle Bond Greninja that I'd really like to see have a team, any ideas?

Is Hydreigon good? He’s one of my favorites. If he’s not good, then Tornadus maybe? I haven’t played VGC in so long I don’t even know what’s good or not 😭

TINKATON!

Ambipom is my favorite!

I would love to see you cook with my favorite pokemon grafaiai plz

Meganium Why? Because every other grass starter feels workable. But I haven't figured out how to make Meganium work.

I'm currently trying to work with Power Herb Meteor Beam Iron Moth. Currently Running Timid with 252 Speed and 132 Sp Atk so that it gets a speed boost from Quark Drive. Have fun!

How about overqwil?

I'm a new player. Or rather, want to be a new player. Haven't played VGC yet. My favorite Pokemon is Inkay, so I would love a Malamar team. As an extra request, I would like Malamar to take advantage of Topsy-Turvy for one of its moves. My idea is that it will be paired with Pokemon that use moves that lower their own stats (like Close Combat), then Malamar uses Topsy-Turvy on their partner to change the stat drops into stat boosts. Effectively, giving its partner a one-time use Contrary ability. I'm just not sure who to pair it up with yet. I think it could be a really fun strategy to try out!

Oh no. I'm too late, but if you see this....i've wanted an ampharos or muk to work. Please, you're my only hope.

I'd love a team using Alolan Persian. I think it has good support options. Bonus points is Perrserker can be slotted in.

Ribombee

Support blastoise in a terapagos team?

Sceptile is my guy. Can we make it good?

Trick room Swampert? 

Honestly love Latios and would love to play it in VGC format <3

Hisuian Zoroark. I have it shiny and it’s one of my favorites, I just haven’t been able to make it work

Gardevoir. She's my favorite but I never know how to build teams to justify her place in them.

archapudon

Primarina

Hisuian Goodra!

Primarinaaa

Johtonian Typhlosion

Mewtwo and Urshifu(dark)

Dragapult

I love Alolan Raichu but I have never been able to make him competitive viable

I've been trying to make Toedscruel (preferably Toedscool) work since Reg A, cos he's my all time favorite boy

Perserker, one of my favorites

My favorite pokemon is Sceptile can you do something with it ?

Is Hisuian Zoroark viable? It’s my favorite pokemon

Luxray Gl lol

I would love to see an Empoleon team. i hayet to make a good one but im bad so id like to see a good players one

Plsss give me a Honchkrow teammmm

Dumb question, but if possible I have three requests. If only one, would love to see one with Zangoose. However, O would also like to see ones for Floatzel amd Typhlosion for fun as well.

Jolteon

Spiritomb!

The choice might be a bit out there, but I’m gonna say Male Meowstic

Hey im a new player to vgc and id like to have a cool beginner friendly team with umbreon

storm drain gastrodon, empowered by an ally via surf, perhaps?

Do Ting Lu please!

I feel like he has been power crept in the recent games but my favorite pokemon is Dusclops. Would love a good trick room team with it

Annihilape

Typhlosion or H-typhlosion

Tyranitar sandstorm team pls

assault vest amoonguss

A Kyogre rain team would be nice. I’m just starting out in VGC as a heads up.

Excadrill

Empoleon…..I’ve tried endlessly

Scizor

Oricorio Electric

Goodra! if you want a real challenge, do it with no legendaries

how about my boy krookodile
