Gen 9 Reg H Rain/Psychic Terrain Team

Just thought of this, would it work?

This is just a theory, so I don't have EVs as of yet. I'll add them once I get a consensus

Type coverage calculator with recommendations?

Reworking some of my pre-built teams as they include some necessary options for full type coverage, but ultimately undesirable ones from a personal stance. Is there a calculator of some sort out there that I can input my teams into, then see an actual list of recommended Pokemon that can cover their defensive weaknesses, as opposed to tracking them down manually?

Pokemon Legends Arceus

Hi Reddit!

I have recently started playing Legends Arceus. Really stuck and confused as to which pokemon should I add to my team. Feel free to suggest bearing in mind I don’t like to have overlapping types in my teams.

What is my team’s weakness(es)? What changes would you make?

Playing Brilliant Diamond on the Switch. I'm a couple gyms into the game and want to make sure the team I've picked is worth grinding.

My team:

Torterra Staraptor Pikachu Haunter Kadabra Gyarados

Any hints/tips or tweaks to my team? I like using iconic Pokemon, but also want a strong team. TIA

Family tournament. Mono type, one legendary, one Pokemon outside of the mono type

Siblings and I are getting together soon so we're gonna have a small tournament.

Rules: one typing, one legendary of that young, one wildcard.

I picked ghost as my typing, recently saw shiny lunala when we were getting the idea for the tournament so that's how I decided 😅, I do see i have a scary dark weakness so I'm wondering if I would make changes.

So far looking to go with toxapex as my wildcard. Honestly can't remember how I reached this idea 😂 I wanted to start by setting up hazards so I guess my first thought was toxapex for toxic spikes. Then have hex on a few of my ghosts and go crazy.

So now I'm second guessing myself, should I change my wildcard to a better hazard setter or further the hazards and put in a bug or fairy to counter dark types? Or use a better hazard setter and take out one of my choices to add a ghost/fairy or ghost/bug?

Pokemon Shining Pearl Team

My team currently consists of:

  • Infernape
  • Roserade
  • Staraptor
  • Floatzel
  • Mismagius

I'm not really sure what to put in the last spot, I know I'm a bit weak to psychic/Ice/Electric/Flying but not sure what pokemon should get the last spot to make it as all rounded as possible, all suggestions welcome, I like trying to use slightly obscure options or ones I don't instantly go to (I normally always pick the grass starter cause it makes the game a bit harder and more fun, so this is a new one for me)

Postgame Singles Team

Any help would be appreciated! I was thinking maybe an Ice Type to feed off Glowking’s Chilly Reception and give me another Dragon answer, but any advice on the team as a whole would help.
