>>19788744I'm a little confused at how you don't even understand the fundamentals of teambuilding yet already complain about "standard teams". Chances are you wouldn't even recognize a standard team if it hit you square in the face.
No offense, just being honest here.
With that said you simply can't play anti-meta until you fully understand the meta.
What is the most commonly used Pokemon in your format?
What makes it so good?
What are its 3 most common sets? What sets them apart from each other? Why do they work?
What are its most common partners? Why are they used together? How do they support each other? Any 3+ Pokemon cores it is commonly used with? If yes, why?
Which speed tier does it fall into?
Does it have any safe counters? How can it play around them?
Do its common partners have anything in common? Is there a certain Pokemon/ core that checks or counters all* of them?
Which types of teams is it most commonly used on? Why does it work well with those playstyles in particular?
If it is used on multiple different team archetypes, is there any way to guess its set based on its teammates?
Does it usually require setup, free turns, hazard support for important KOs? Does it switch excessively or very little? Any differences based on its set?
Does it tent to run lure sets?
If it runs multiple different sets are there any moves that give away its entire set on their own?
How do other players play around it? Is my intended counter overly predictable? Should I generally expect my opponents to predict switches to my counter?
Can it be baited? If yes by what?
Can it be trapped?
Are there any Pokemon that beat any of its common cores on their own?
etc etc
But most importantly, if you can't even answer these simple questions how the hell do you expect to beat it?
