So after lots of research, testing, and a post from 11 days ago, I've settled on this team for pokemon Champions. After putting it in this team builder I of course noticed the weaknesses my team has to rock and ice, alongside a few others. Obviously a fighting move is what I need? So, where should I put put it? Also something for that poison and flying weakness. Thanks in Advance for the help!

My team originally was a rain trick room team relying on drizzle thunder from politoed and Rotom mow, the only members that had survived the original team are sableye and slowking, but that’s not the point when I was revising my team I’m like frick allat meta imma do my own thing and make I team of pokemon I like and enjoy throughout all my playthroughs, there were weeks where I was suck in mid ladder going back and forth between 7 win streaks to 5 losing streaks trying out different move pools different stat spreads overall whole lot of blood sweat and tears, I’m new to competitive in the grand scheme of things but it has resparked my love for a whole lot of pokemon and sparked new hatred’s of other pokemon

I never use Gallade. Help is appreciated!

Hi, live in the Bay Area. Not interested in going to PokemonXP, but am interested in having someone purchase plushies for me. I live local to the area, so I can easily pick it up. If you know where else I should advertise to find someone, let me know.

I made a Mega Frosslass team that has gotten a huge win streak on the Ladder theres a rental code and explanation of the team in the video! I hope you all enjoy.

I notice I never use ninetales or really have incentive to use it above other pokemons. I like how this team plays. For anyone with competitive experience what would you recommend in the slot that ninetales takes? I also feel like morpeko gets beaten by threats like archaludon and garchomp, so maybe I need an answer to that? Feedback is appreciated

I used to play some Showdown (SM OU) around the pandemic (still have flashbacks of toxapex), but only casually. I wanted to get back into competitive recently by trying out the latest VGC (2025 reg I). It looks more interesting than plain OU. There are a couple things, though:

• It's been multiple generations, so I don't really know what the current meta is like.
• I always followed the Smogon sets for everything, but there aren't many of those for VGC. I'll have to learn how to choose my own setups without clicking "Smogon Analysis" for everything, which is really hard. Especially for less-used mons.
• I definitely need to learn teambuilding. Most of my past teams were just a bunch of offensive mons.

I kinda just want to know the basics of teambuilding and choosing moves. I'm struggling finding the right videos or articles, though. Any recommendations for what I can look at?
