    So I need some help with my VGC team. I have made the team (it's a Trickroom Hail team) but I cant decide what to make the items. Anyone got some advice?

    So I'm thinking these for items:

    Abomasnow: Leftovers, Occa Berry
    Mewtwo: Leftovers, Life Orb, Lum Berry
    Swampert: Rindo Berry, Leftovers, Sitrus Berry
    Mamoswine: Choice Band, Choice Scarf

    This is not really intended to be a RMT/help forum, though we may have one of those at some point. Could you put some items that you've been using so far up (then it will be some help to people downloading it), and then maybe people will comment with advise.

    I meant adding the ones that seem best to the importable bit, so people can actually use the team :p

    Anyway, TR Mewtwo is a bit crazy.. 130 base speed is just too much. And the two backup Blizzard users are not exactly going to blast opponents out of the water with their SpA stats. If the opponent can get a different weather up, or Fake Out Mewtwo to delay the TR while beating you down, or even just Dark Void you with a Scarf Smeargle, you're pretty much doomed. I think this team needs quite a bit of work, really. The Pokemon that learn TR + Blizzard can be found here, from the looks of it Dialga/Palkia are your best options. Maybe Jynx for Fake Out+STAB, but lacks bulk. If you want a Psychic type, even Mesprit or Slowbro/king would be worth considering.

    The other two need serious thought, they both seem totally random..

    Earthquaking your teammates without levitate/flying-type or protect isn't the wisest thing to do <_<
