Wow, GGs, guys! I'm glad we moved past the "flinchhax team w/ Dunsparce" and other gimmicks and are actually discovering some legit impressive threats in this playstyle! All these teams are really shaping out to be formidable, so kudos to all you inquisitive minds who have crafted them!
There's quite a few unexpected surprises that you guys have uncovered. Stealth Rock is actually legit in Doubles, reducing the active time of significant threats like Kyurem-B, Ninetales, and Zapdos. Magic Coat or lol Rapid Spin may have practical use for some of these teams!
The second surprise are that people would actually risk losing control of target-selecting and opt for Outrage's raw power. I initially thought that Outrage's negative effects would backfire to the user, but it seems like Protect's cancellation of Outrage's lock makes this move not as inflexible and detrimental as I expected.
Major props to Pwnemon, I think the first person to really tap into Kyurem-B's potential in this metagame and is now finding ways to even use Celebi! Pretty creative of you to assign Celebi a utility role in setting up Rocks and summoning rain ;d
Audiosurfer, it seems like typon77 and reachzero were like giving free kills against your Rotom-W x.x;; Skymin is actually quite-effective, hitting most weather abusers for lethal damage with its powerful Seed Flare. It's fast and high Air Slash flinch rate can also act like a shitty but stronger Fake Out, incapacitating one enemy while your other partner wade in on either of the two enemies. Chlorophyll / Sand Rush / Swift Swim users make Shaymin-S not the fastest mon in every moment of the game, but Icy Wind / Tailwind / TWave support can alleviate that.
