Everybody loves 1v1 and everybody love doubles, so why not both?burmymons 2v2 doubles is doubles, but both players only have 2 pokemon. Like in 1v1, there is a team preview, but with 4 pokemon instead of 3
THE RULES
Threats
Mega kanga is a top threat of doubles and has been suspected but not banned. It's common set it is fake out/return/sucker punch. Now it doesnt need PuP so drain punch/eq/crunch is prefered in the last spot.
Sun boosted heat waves hurt. It also provides support to chlorophyl users who can then use a fast sleep.
Intimidate is one of the best abilities, pared up with sky high attack, two spread moves (rock slide, earthquake) makes landorus-t a threat
Heat waves hurt from this, paired up with hidden power and earth power makes it a bigger threat. Air balloon may be more common to dodge those eq's, but watch out for fake out.
Hitmontop packs intimidate along with decent defenses and a good attack. It has access to fake out and sucker punch for priority and can have wide or quick guard, unexpected but can be helpful.
Politoed may not be threatening, but paired with strong swift swim sweepers can be threatening
Mawile's huge attack paired with strong coverage can be fatal. It's base form can hold intimidate or even hyper cutter, so watch out for that
One of OU's scariest threats is as threatening as ever. Huge attack, decent speed and the ability to go mixed, yes please.
There are more, such as (mega)tyranitar, (mega) gyarados, breloom (sleep is nice), cresselia, etc
Effective stratagies
Useful moves/abilities
is she broken?
If anybody wants a battle play on doubles custom game, if you see me on showdown, drop me a message, i'll try to be in the other meta room
Thanks for reading, hope you luvdisc galbia is bad

Effective stratagies
Weather
+
Set up the sun with yzard whilst protecting/sleep powdering with venu
+
/
Kingdra is prefered thanks to muddy water but kabutops is also very powerful
Blizspam is viable and scary
Trick Room
/
These are probably the preferred setters, thanks to having an offensive presence
Quiet eruption is very strong coming from this monster
'Fast' blizspam, even better. Likes reuniclus who has magic guard/overcoat
Fake out + Fast sleep
+
Eliminates both opponents from the first turn, and then you can focus hitting one at a time

Useful moves/abilities
Intimidate
Put the opponent at permanent -1. Great vs physical attakers
Protect
Good for scouting and a nice prediction can have your other mon being the only successful attacker
Fake Out
Removes the opponent for one turn, breaks a sash and lets your other mon attack/sleep
