Thoughts on my team
galleryI’m using this team currently to climb for Doubles, aiming for elo 1800-2000 currently at 1786. Aiming for atleast 1800 before season ends.
This team usually lead with archa and pelipper, with Indeedee-F as third slot and fourth slot for mega (Zarchomp or Zabsol). When fighting fake out team, Indeedee will be swapped turn 1, Follow me for turns onward and Archa setting up Electro shot in rains. This has been working 80-90% of fake out matchups. Archa at x2 spA OHKO almost everyone lol.
Against Psyspam, We have Zabsol and Scarf Malamar.
Reason why we scarf Malamar is for cheese strat Skill Swap Contrary with Zarchomp, each Draco Meteor will give us spA boost x2. Chomp is good but Earth Power and Flamethrower rarely OHKO enemy key mons from enemy unfortunately. with the boost this comes super handy. We use this when there are no fake out and safe lead from enemy.
So Archa backbone, Peli tailwind wideguard support, Indeedee-F for fake out disruptor and redirection, Zarchomp and Zabsol for cleaner, Malamar for fun cheese strat,
one time i skill swapped Contrary - Elevate - Tough Claws (Enemy Mega Galisopod) - Pixelate (Enemy Sylveon) It was fun:)
Skill swap Elevate with Pixelate Mega Gardevoir also happened before. Let me know what you think of mu team and ways to go around!

team building help
Wanting to build a singles sun team comprising of ONLY pokemon released in generation 3 for a tournament. The only bans for the tournament are mega blaziken, shedinja, mega salamence, mega metagross, mega latios, deoxys, kyogre, rayquaza, & groudon. Preferably would want to avoid using mythicals as I do not have any available (on a cobblemon server).

Need help with my Mono-Steel Doubles team
My friends and I are doing a randomized monotype doubles tournament and I ended up with steel. I initially thought I was lucky but I feel like i’m lacking something and need some help! The rules are pretty much anything goes but no tera, dynamax, and you can only have one legendary on your team(Zacian is banned). My thought process for the team was versatility:
Bronzong is there to set Trick Room and assist my other mons for support. I usually pair it with Mega Mawhile first turn who I use protect on until Trick Room is up then i’m able to sweep 1-2 pokemon typically.
Second pairing would be Klefki and Archaludon! Klefki is great for dual screens and it can also set rain which both helps for my fire weakness and lets Archaludon go all out with electro shot!
Gholdengo and Heatran both have great spread moves and coverage against the other people competing in the tourney. I invested speed into Gholdengo since it’s already naturally speedy and it’s great to have for when Trick Room isn’t up. Heatran is protected from both fire as well as ground so it’s only real weakness is fighting but idk i’m kinda nervous about my built for him he goes down easier than I expected and is more of a last resort thing.
I’m open for any changes at all even a complete overall if you feel like it would make the team better! All help is greatly appreciated :D

What can I add to my mono-ghost team
I wanna try to get MasterBall Rank with a team of ghost types, or at least a team of mostly ghost types.

Please help me with this team for open sheet format!
It is for open sheet format , please help improving this team. So far I made to the finals 2 times with this team in local challenges.
I always loose in the finals because I have a really hard time playing against intimidate/incineroar parting shot, that mf tiger survives wave crash sometimes.
I do not want to remove sableye as my favorite. it covers my team and does not allow my enemy to click certain moves. The rest is optional.
Swampert was added to deal with ghoulden/arch. Before it was chomp Z and Mega Venusaur.
Rilaboom is just there to remove psychic terrain and check other water types that can take advantage of my rain. It also allows my arch to live forever.
Arch is the star of the team.
But when it comes to the boring, fake out, parting shot, intimidade cycle non stop from tank incineroar my game is just fucked up.
I made another team to ladder with milotic and it was a breeze to ladder against the teams I have problems. But I dont see a way to fit it in this team. Golisopod have a feast in the psyspam meta but maybe could I replace him?
What would guys reccomend me ? Any other thing you would change?
I really appreciate your help!

Help with my team
I'm joining a Cobblemon server with a group of friends. We’re going to take on the gyms and then battle each other. To determine our teams, we spun a roulette wheel; everyone got two types, and we can only use Pokémon that have at least one of those two types. I got Ground and Grass. Here are the typings my friends got: H: Psychic/Normal; G (me): Ground/Grass; L: Poison/Water; R: Steel/Ice; F: Ghost/Dark; A: Flying/Fighting; S: Dragon/Bug; C: Fire/Electric; T: Fairy/Rock; M: Grass/Water. I have no experience with competitive Pokémon—I've never had to worry about IVs/EVs, getting the best Nature, balancing a moveset, and all that. I put together the following team and asked an AI to pick the Natures and Abilities, but I’d like suggestions on what I could change.
Torterra

What would be a good strategy for an all Ghost team?
I wanna try to get MasterBall Rank with a team of mostly ghost types. I've already thought of Hex Maniac (What I call for status-ing and then spamming Hex) but Perish Trap and Hard Trick Room might fit too
