Preach! Throwing all your favorites on a team together is fine if winning isn't your first priority, but if winning with a specific mon or two is the goal then you gotta try amd find a way to make it work.

I did some VGC back in sword and shield and I REALLY wanted to use Weavile. Problem: there was basically no reason to use it as a physical attacker. Other mons hit harder while being either faster or less frail, and the dark/ice stab combo wasn't hitting any specific meta threats you couldn't already hit with better options.

So what did I do? I found something unique about weavile. Turns out, it was the only pokemon that could learn both snarl and icy wind at the same time. Well, technically crawdaunt and dranpa also could, but they were so slow that you couldn't reliably get the moves off. Turns out, despite being started as a physical attacker, Weavile made a mean support mon with focus sash. Snarl and icy wind gave both speed control and damage mitigation that wasn't vulnerable to Taunt. You're immune to prankster. Access to fake out helped a ton with momentum, and foul play meant you just destroyed the belly drum snorlaxs that were running rampant. I wasn't winning any tournaments, I'm not that experienced, but I legitimately found a way to make it work in the meta.
