What of these two teams should I focus on, or is there other teams I could make from the mons provided? Trying to get to Veteran Rank. I know a bit about counting fast moves and other things.

Currently doing Master League:

ho_oh,INCINERATE,SACRED_FIRE,BRAVE_BIRD,51,15,15,15

metagross,SHADOW_CLAW,METEOR_MASH,EARTHQUAKE,50,14,15,15

florges,FAIRY_WIND,MOONBLAST,CHILLING_WATER,50,14,14,15

This team does OKAY. Went to 2100 BB Florges sometimes will give it more bulk, but it can't win speed ties, so Ho-oh usually gets the BB. Tried swapping Metagross with Groudon (only at 48, so that's not great), but then kept encountering Kyoger 10 games in a row. Florges can de buff a few times, but it's a struggle to work around.

Team I broke into ACE this season:

palkia_origin,DRAGON_BREATH,SPACIAL_REND,AQUA_TAIL,50,15,14,15

meloetta_aria,CONFUSION,PSYSHOCK,DAZZLING_GLEAM,51,15,15,15

metagross,SHADOW_CLAW,METEOR_MASH,EARTHQUAKE,50,14,15,15

Meloetta works well in the lower tiers for some odd reason, but I have trouble using her as I climb higher. Possibly due to not many good matchups. Should I BB Palkia instead?

Other mon I have to use for ML and are at Level 50, and are above 96% IV:

Zacian (C), Annhilape, Rhyperior, Goodra, and Primarina.

Have also utilized: Rhyperior, Tyranitar

I don't want this to come across like a vent, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong anymore. I can make Ace rank no problem over the years, but even when I learn: Team Building, Counting, baiting, and use reference sheets...I can't break past 2200 elo in ML or GL. I've even screen recorded battles to take notes, but then there is a Pokémon that perfectly counters my whole team. Worse, there is a Pokémon that's not on the reference sheet. Do I need to memorize all my match ups that are non meta?
