I decided to try and see if I could make a viable Ice Team for VGC Reg H
Reason for making a Blaziken Team:
Reasoning for picking Blaziken in the first place was because of archaludon. Last season I struggled against Archaludon and Maushold duo and I thought I wanted to make a team to counter that because it was really annoying to lose to that type of team.
At first I thought about making a Annihilape team. But it didnt feel right with me. Im not a big fan of the pokemon personally and I wanted to make something a little bit more fun.
Blaziken:
The main core of the team. I picked a normal set for Blaziken, nothing really special here. I tried first to make a Blaz team with Bronzong, gravity and focus blast. But the whole team got really clunky so I just threw away the idea. I got sword dance for boosting attack, protect to get a free speed boost up and the rest speak for itself. Focus Sash becuase it just get one shooted if not having it. Blaziken is kinda nice I feel now because if I meet Archaludon I can hit it with Fighthing and EVERY Archaludon I have met uses Tera Grass. Not sure about the Tera yet. I think Ghost for Fake Out Counter
Rilaboom:
Its not weird why I picked Rilaboom. Really strong Pokemon and im very familar of using it. It can counter Psy Terrain, reduces Earthquake and a good counter for Primarina. I chose a normal set for it. I have no clue for what Tera to use so appreciate any tips.
Ninetail:
Can set up Sun to boost Blaziken. Can counter Rain, Snow and Sand. It has good synenergy with Raichu with Nuzle and Hex. I chose a pretty normal set with it and Choise Specs for extra damage. Tera Water to counter weakness to Ground, Rock and Water. If I use tera water I can switch in Raichu and use Lightning Rod and support Ninetails that way.
Kingambit: I wanted something to scare Incin and counter against Psychic mons. I also wanted a threat to Trick Room Teams. I have trained my King a little different I feel. I have no EV in Attack because I have chosen to make it a tanky support attacker in a way. I chose Tera Ice for Dragon Types. Also I have trained it to survice one Close Combat in Tera against Sneasler and with Weakness Policy I KO Sneasler with a Iron Head if its not trained in HP and Defense.
Raichu: One thing this Team needs help with is Pelipper. I have trained my Raichu to be faster then all Rilabooms and Incin if they are not supported by tailwind. Not to mention its faster then Pelipper. I have fake out so Blaziken can get up a Sword Dance, Nuzle for speed control and boost Hex damage for Ninetails, Endeavour to get in free damage when Raichu is low and Thunder for some damage but I only click that if im against a Pelipper. Tera Fairy to counter Archaludon Dragon Moves and have trained it to survive a Flash Canon from Archa if I tera toc Fairy.
Gastrodon: Not to much to say about Gastra. Used it my last team and its a good support. Can counter mons who boost stats like dondozo. Storm Drain to protect Blaziken if its not a Spread Move and Tera Fire is a obvious.
Hope for tips and reviews on what you guyz think of this Team. I have had good results on Show and thinking of using it in Comp in S/V. Hope that I wrote good enough the reasoning for each Mon
https://pokepast.es/f9ea8385d201ba10 Any thoughts on how I could Improve the team I just won a League Challenge with?
Getting bored and want to wreck some kids with the perish trap tactic. Unsure about my final to mons anyone got any ideas to help troll some kids?
How would your team counter mine? Which high usage mons would give me the biggest challenge in your opinion?
Hoping to improve and gameplan for any weaknesses. For reference, I have been battling w this team for months and have played a lot of matches. I do have some idea of teams I rather not see ofc but I would like to see how you guys react instinctively to this team and how you would gameplan around me
Building a team for November
Hello everyone, I am currently trying to build one of my first teams to climb with in November. I’ve tried a this team minus Incineroar plus Arcanine and Hydreigon. It was pretty meh, not much success. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for my last Pokemon or any other suggestions you may have!
Murkrow Ghost Tera- tailwind setter and a general support mon.
Garchomp Steel Tera- main physical attacker of the team
Rillaboom Fire Tera- disruptor that can still hit kinda hard. EV’s were taken from a player in a recent regional. Trying to decide between u turn or knock off still.
Incineroar Ghost Tera- just an OP pokemon and filled the fire slot. Made him bulky to absorb damage and be annoying. Trying to decide between safety goggles or sitrus berry for his item.
Rotom Wash Tera Undecided- needed a special attacker water mon and primarina seemed too slow for the current way my team was looking. I wanted him to be able to take a hit so that’s why the EV’s are that way (Also, I already had him made from prior usage in Sword/Shield, so I’m open to changing these).
I havent put in the EVs but ye tell me what should i be training my pokemon to survive
This is the current team but there's some things I want to change or advice on.
This is meant to be a FWG Balance core, with speed control in both tailwind Murkrow/Talonflame for hyper offense (I think that's what it is), and a trick room and psyspam mode.
The builds were mostly taken from Pikalytics which might explain some weaknesses in my team
Should I change any Pokemon?
I choce Barraskewda beacuse it can (with Helping H) OHKO Archaludon Av Unfortunatly, Barraskewda Adamant max speed is 1 point slower than an jolly sneasler.
Bulk Galvantula is a decent support with 2023 Av arcanine. I put gastro acid on Galvantula for delete opponent's ability but I can't used it.
I don't like Gholdengo in this team. I would like a replacement (if possible who works gon galvantula)
After some match i see that Pelliper/ Barraske combo is a good combo but I lose a few of match up for small difference. Advice are welcome

I want to use smeargle again because I had a lot of fun with spore and decorate in reg G.
The scarf in smeargle is to out speed zoroark. I'm not set on the moveset though.
I was thinking of trying to fit hisuan typlosion in and swap one of ribombees moves for sunny day
I wasn't sure if I could take advantage of decorate more with a pokemon like dragapult or Dragonite?
Looking for feedback and tips on the build as I haven't tested it yet

Honestly this team of mine has bad to decent synergy. I especially want to replace Alolan Ninetales with someone else, but I don't know who can compliment the team well. Here is my team in the link below. I'm open to replacing mons, ESPECIALLY Ninetales.
I can stop regular Hatterene + Indeedee by using Population Bomb to KO Indeedee then Parting Shot to force out Hatterene.
The Rocky Helmet Indeedee completely walls me though. Anyone see a solution that I am not seeing. I tried Wave Crash to kill Indeedee then fishes for a Hurrican confusion with apelipper but that didn't work either. Anyone have any suggestions?

Built this team after some testing and it has been doing work. Major issue is majority of the time I just run Sneasler, Indeedee, BM Ursaluna, and Armarouge. Occasionally I bring Amoongus. I almost never bring Basculegion. What would be better replacements for these two? Specifically Basculegion. His move pool isn't great and I mostly wanted his ghost typing for a wall against fighting and normal attacks.
Current Teras: Sneasler - Stellar Indeedee - Psychic (never used) Amoongus - Water (never used) Basculegion - Water BM Ursaluna - Water Armarouge - Steel
Been trying to think of alternatives. Clawitzwer seemed interesting with its ability can hit hard with tera Dragon, Dragon pulse. Also a 120 power Aura Sphere to deal with that stupid Arch. Finally it's super slow so it'll be good in TR....but I'm sure there's something better you guys will suggest.
