Club Double Trouble (a double battling community)

[philzone]

Hi, I'm Philzone, and I wish to become a more skilled competitive double battler. My favourite VGC pokemon has to be gastrodon (east sea). When I added one of these to my sandstorm double team, it went from being a failure, to becoming quite threatening. Favourite pokemon? Has to be Lucario. The black and blue aura jackle is cool, strong, and very unpredictable. I love double battles, because of the strategy behind them (since i love strategy based stuff), and the fact that lots of pokemon who are frowned on in singled, are welcomed to the doubles metagame. If I wanted a job, I would be a EV trainer, because I keep EV training pokemon that I have for double battles.

Probably my last team rate here. I believe this is the one I'm going to use if I get good enough feedback

[joej m]

ok, on heat rotom, run a bulkier set for the RMT. because with choice specs and sun, you dont need to worry about anything when it comes to power. try using a damage calculator.

[drizzleboy12]

To be honest your teams EVS suck especially exagutter's. Also I thought your other team was better but you only needed different EVs.

And whats the point of having unlimited sitrus berries without a bulky set? Because his defensive stats suck and you really need to invest in all bulk. If you don't then instead you should run chlorophyll with abusing sleep powder which I consider "pathetic". If you run the harvest then I suggest this set

Exeggutor @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EV's: 244 HP/236 SpD/28 Def
Calm Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Psyshock
- Protect
- Power Swap

lets him tank a draco meteor dragon gem from a timid latios and a crunch from a max attack tyranitar.

I use this set and it is freaking amazing! and wolfe runner up of the world tournament uses this set.

Wow, really? I guess I'll use it then! Any other suggestions?

Zapdos I suggest running this set

Zapdos @ Choice specs
EVs: 204 HP 20 Def 172 SpA 92 SpD
Calm nature
-Thunderbolt/Volt switch
-Heat wave
-HP grass
-Air cutter

This set lets it live a draco meteor dragon gem from a timid latios and can KO most none rindo berry gastridon sets and 2KO all fighting and ludicolo's with air cutter. And KOs most grass types with heat wave.

[joej m]

oh yeah and welcome new guy! ill add you to the list right away! :3

EDIT: that is the set he gave me! it is really quite great! gets awesome coverage!

Hmm what about Tailwind? Tailwind will help his speedy pokemon become even more speedy! Also, there there is signal beam with a confusion ratio and lets it kill Ludiculo/T-Tar/etc.. Just a suggestion, don't hurt me Dx

[drizzleboy12]

lol don't worry I won't. lol

anyway it has specs and I don't think you want it using tailwind over and over again. But Signal beam could be used over air cutter.

[joej m]

i just realized that he can't run specs on zapdos because of the rotom having it...
i actually think that a bulkier zapdos would be more useful for his purposes. this means it might be a good idea to get tailwind on it.
but rearranging items will also work so he can get the choice specs on zapdos! :3

I think he could run a bulker Zapdos with a berry of some sort(Sitrus berry, Charti berry aka rock type weakening berry,etc.), Mental herb(to stop taunt from stopping tailwind set-up), etc so he can still use trick swapping with his choice specs Rotom-H.

I'm looking for a flat double battle before I upload my mediocre team

[joej m]

I could try with my white...but half of my tema wouldn't be ev-trained...I wish I could find my black two ;-;

[InsaneDragoniteHD]

I need to make myself a doubles team ...not sure where to begin.

[Chingchar]

Right my team is near enough ready just need to EV train Thundurus I might use the incarnate form since it seems to be more useful, however I need a ludicolo counter I was thinking of giving Terrakion poison jab and since most of them are specially defensive I think it would work well, what do you think?
