Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.
Yo, I'm in the Battle Tower in Doubles and this is my team:
*Firstly, this team has no entry hazards. Why? There are a lot less phazing and switching options in Doubles, and plus after the initial two opposing Pokemon there are only two more. Setting up Stealth Rocks would be a wasted turn where my attacking momemtum would be screwed.
No.1 Gengar - A different sort of Gengar to the usual, who actually does surprisingly well. His moves are:
-Will'o'Wisp
-Substitute
-Sludge Bomb
-Shadow Ball
Shadow Ball is my basic STAB option getting good coverage with Sludge Bomb besides Steel types. I have Sludge Bomb as it often has the extra power I need, something I don't get with Shadow Ball. Will'o'Wisp takes care of most Steel types, shafting there Attack and usually letting me survive if I'm on full health. Substitute couples well with the Sitrus Berry it holds, which lets it have an extra Substitute, something that greatly helps if Will'o'Wisp misses.
Why didn't I just use a Dusknoir or Spiritomb? I often find I need the extra Speed and Power, and because this team is made to cripple the opponents to let my sweepers get in easy, not to stall and waste PP and time.
No.2 Magnezone - An invaluable partner to Gengar, helping him a lot. Moves:
-Substitute
-Thunderbolt
-Explosion
-Flash Cannon
Substitute works well with his great resistances and Leftovers, etc, etc. Thunderbolt is standard reliable STAB. Explosion is to leave great chunks in anything that doesn't resist it, and works great with Gengars typing. I would've used HP Fire but I didn't get it, so I stuck with ol' reliable Flash Cannon, and the Sp.Defence drop can be handy if it happens.
Great Pokemon with great resistances, he is extremely useful and takes care of many of Gengars threats, like Tyranitar and Weaville.
No.3 Electivire - While his STAB option is less than perfect, he is great for picking off weakened Pokemon. Moves
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Cross Chop
Not much to say here; just the standard Electivire with good coverage and an Expert Belt.
This is where the Problems start as I have three sweepers but I don't know which to choose:
Mixed Salamence with Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw (Outrage is too annoying and unreliable in Doubles), Earthquake and Fire Blast. He is slower than Electivire, letting Electivire move before any Earthquake.
Dragon Dance Tyranitar with Dragon Dance, Stone Edge, Fire Punch and Crunch. Very reliable except for the fact everyone has a Fighting move or Ground Pokemon in Battle Tower.
Bulky Gyarados with Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Earthquake and Stone Edge. Has not been tested much but so far has proven reliable.
So yeah, just give me some comments about it and which sweeper I should pick.
