Hey, first time on Smogon. I'm a pretty casual player (200 hours total playing pokemon), and I need some help making a team. It's for a casual match against my cousin, and I'd like to build an offensive-focused team that can handle a variety of threats, since the only mons I know that he'll bring are Roaring Moon and Garganacl. (Also, we decided to allow paradox mons but no legends for some reason) I'm pretty lost, but I've had a few ideas, including an ice team with Chilly Reception Glowking, Veil A-Ninetales, and Baxcalibur, but I struggled completing it. Outside of that, I can come up with a cohesive team, but I have a few mons I've considered like Court Change Cinderace, Infiltrator Dragapult, Tera Water Garchomp, Rapid Spin Great Tusk, Archaludon, Tera Normal Espeed Dragonite, Kingambit, Gholdengo and some others. I know that none of this is very helpful, but as someone who's very new to the idea of competitive, team building is still overwhelming to me, so any guidance is welcome.

GeorgeoftheSuburbs If you're trying to build for one of Smogon's tiers, you can use the rate my team forum for help (make sure to read the posting rules first, though). And in the future, you should generally be reading forum rules before creating a thread anywhere (for example, this isn't the right place to ask your question).
If you're just trying to make an in-game team, you might have more luck on PS itself in a room like Lobby or perhaps Pokemon Games.
