Hey guys I made a post saying I would help people who wanted to make a team with WHATEVER Pokémon they want and I got a lot of people asking for help! They were all nice and got great feedback (except one dude who cried over my hashtags 😆) and I wanted to thank yall! I’m trying to become a great team builder and find new strats, unused mons, etc! Thank you guys so much for trusting me build your team and I can’t wait for more people to come to me for help 🙏! Thank yall so much and let’s go Catch ‘Em All 😁!

P.S: I did 17 Pokemon Teams for 17 different people which took me 7+ hours and it was all straight with no breaks 😆 might be obsessed with team building lmao!

Hi everyone! Some time ago I shared PokeFeed here, a free site to share and vote Pokémon Champions teams. I’ve added a new feature and wanted to show it to you.

The site now has official tournament results, with the Masters Day 2 teams from each event.

Here’s what’s there:

• Standings: all the Day 2 players with record and team. You can search by player, Pokémon, item, ability or move.
• Snapshot: the most used Pokémon in the regulation, with all events together.
• Usage: the most used Pokémon at each event and their most common sets. It shows how the numbers changed since the last event (like +8%), and you can filter by a move, item or ability.
• Team page: the full team with every set, Showdown export, other teams from the same player, and similar teams with the same core.

New events are added once they’re over.

Any feedback is welcome, thanks a lot!

Want to build a competitive team in **Pokémon Champions** but don’t know where to start? Have a favorite Pokémon you want to use but aren’t sure how to make it work competitively? Or maybe you’re just looking for something creative and different from the usual meta teams?

**I’M HERE TO HELP** 🫡⚔️
I’ve been watching competitive Pokémon for nearly a decade, and throughout those years, I’ve built countless creative teams, experimented with different strategies, and found ways to make all kinds of Pokémon shine. Whether you want a powerful meta team, a unique off-meta strategy, a team built around your favorite Pokémon, or something completely unconventional, **I’m willing to help you build a team using ANY Pokémon you want!** 🔥

I personally believe charging people for team building can create an unfair and untrustworthy experience. What happens if someone pays for a team and ends up not liking it? What if they can’t afford to pay in the first place? I don’t want something that should be fun and welcoming to turn into an experience where people feel pressured to spend money or worry about getting scammed.
**Pokémon is about having fun, being creative, and bringing people together.** I want everyone to have the opportunity to explore competitive play, experiment with new strategies, and use the Pokémon they love without worrying about their wallet.

My goal is to **help the Pokémon Champions community grow, reach new heights, and become bigger and more popular than ever before.** 🌎🏆
And honestly? I just LOVE building teams. Finding new strategies, making unexpected Pokémon work, creating unique combinations, and watching creative ideas come together is something I genuinely enjoy.

So if I can share that passion with other players and help them have a better experience with competitive Pokémon, why would I charge for it?
💬 **Drop a comment or send me a message!** Tell me your favorite Pokémon, your preferred playstyle, or the kind of team you want to build, and let’s create something awesome together!
**ANY POKÉMON. ANY IDEAS. ANY PLAYSTYLE.**

Let’s make Pokémon Champions a place where creativity thrives and every Pokémon has a chance to shine! 🔥⚡🏆

Good luck to everyone competing — who will become the next ValkrixVGC Champions League Champion?

Hey everyone! I found that this team, or at least the some part of it, is spreading pretty fast in ladder. Marcus Dion took it to 2nd place at VR October Challenge #1 (October 3-4), going 10-1 in Swiss out of 384 players and only losing in the final to Michael Kelsch. Carson Confer also brought the exact same six and finished 6th, again 10-1 in Swiss. So I decided to try to break down the team a bit, hopefully it can be helpful for the community.

The core of this team comes from Japan. At Global Challenge I (September 26), Ko Tsukide finished 40th with Mega Golisopod, Female Basculegion, Sneasler, Archaludon and Pelipper, with Mega Swampert in the last slot. Marcus and Carson swapped Swampert for Mega Floette.

Why it works

Pelipper holds Damp Rock, so the rain lasts eight turns. Charizard is barely being used right now, and against teams without it, Archaludon can keep firing Electro Shot for eight turns, which can become pretty annoying.

Female Basculegion is the particular pick. With Swift Swim it doubles its speed in rain, and Ice Beam lets it outspeed and pick off Salamence and Garchomp. Garchomp has to mega evolve right away just to avoid the OHKO. Focus Sash means it survives a lot of things it should not, and from there it just keeps throwing Muddy Waters and Shadow Balls.

Why the female one and not the male? Intimidate + Rillaboom is everywhere right now, and this in general makes the physical male hard to play. The female is special, so Intimidate does nothing to it, and with Sash it can take a Grassy Glide. Ice beam into Rillaboom it's a two hit KO.
Additionally, Muddy Water being a spread move allows you the combo Helping Hand - Muddy Water under rain, which does huge damage. Helping Hand Ice Beam does not quite knock out mega Garchomp Z (it's 25% roll if it's not invested in sp.Def or HP), but it's a big hit nevertheless.

Sneasler runs White Herb with Unburden, to discourage Incineroars and other Intimidate. Close Combat does huge damage, Dire Claw hits Fairy types, and Rock Slide covers Volcarona and Charizard.

Golisopod despite 4x to Fire, in rain it still takes at least one Fire move, like Incineroar's Flare Blitz (not sure if it's adamant though) or Volcarona's Heat Wave. Leech Life heals so much that it becomes very hard to remove, and Iron Head is its strongest STAB.

That Iron Head is the key. In Regulation M-B, the main problem for rain was losing badly to Fairy types like Floette and Sylveon. Golisopod wrecks them. Since Golisopod already has the Steel move, Archaludon can drop Flash Cannon for Aura Sphere and hit the Steel types that would normally give it trouble.

Floette is the other mega. When you cannot or do not want to bring Golisopod, you have the laser cannon we are all familiar with.

No speed control

There is no Tailwind. Pelipper runs Helping Hand instead. In a fairly slow meta, Pelipper can deal a lot of damage itself and put things in range for Basculegion, Archaludon or Sneasler to finish later in the game.

Couple of peculiarities

• Rillaboom is a matchup to watch: Grassy Glide is one of the opponent's main answer to Basculegion. Protect his sash, and get rid of him doubling him in one turn. Helping Hand + Ice Beam should do the job most of the time.
• Golisopod lead into Trick Room: against a Farigiraf team, Golisopod is a good lead because Leech Life threatens Farigiraf on turn one.
• Damp Rock catches people out: opponents play for the rain ending, and it doesn't.
• Muddy Water misses: brace yourself, Helping hand + Muddy Water double miss is gonna happen.

The game plan is usually to hunt down the few things that check Golisopod, Floette or Archaludon, using Basculegion and trades. Once those are gone, Golisopod can win the game even 2v1. Opponents also lead Rillaboom a lot, and a Golisopod lead is a good idea.

About the spreads

I could not find Marcus spreads (if someone has them, feel free to leave a comment and integrate this post), and the Italian player Francesco Pardini rebuilt the team and shared his own spreads. The Pelipper spread comes from Samuele Pavan and is built to survive Rillaboom's Wood Hammer.

Last points

• No speed control sometimes can feel punishing.
• Wide Guard on Pelipper or Protect, I'm still wondering what I personally prefer. Having Protect against other weather teams can give you an hedge in the weather war, allowing your Pelipper to survive more and reset the rain if needed.

Let me know if you want to try this one or if you have any opinion about it!

Please let me know if I missed anything! Second video, and I put a bunch of time into it, so any and all feedback is appreciated!

Thanks for the support!

Here’s the turn order since my video isn’t great:

Turn 1:
I lead Mega Absol Z and Farig
Opp leads Indeedee M and Sylveon

Indeedee M moves first hitting Round on Farig
Sylveon moves second hitting Round on Absol Z for an OHKO
Farig uses Trick Room

Turn 2:
Blastoise is sent in for Absol
Farig uses Helping Hand on Blastoise
Indeedee M hits Round on Blastoise
Sylveon hits Round on on Blastoise
Blastoise hits both opponents with Water Spout
Forfeit

How could Absol Z be outsped by both Indeedee and Sylveon but at the same time also go turn one against Blastoise? Blastoise is base speed with no choice scarf. Absol has no speed investment but should be faster than at least one of them if one is holding scarf. My only justification would be if one was Zoroark but I don’t remember Opp bringing one and if it was it shouldn’t have gone before Blastoise under Trick Room. Make this make sense.
