XY Doubles rmt my smogon doubles team( first time rating for me)

after a lot of switching pokemons, i finally have a team that i am satisfied with for now.
i started pokeshowdown a couple of days ago and i absolutely like it.

to the team
this team wasn't built around a idea or one pokemon but just formed to this setup in the previous days.

Tyranitar @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Crunch
- Low Kick
- Protect

this is one of my favorite pokemon and one i just want to have on a team. it serves as ghost and psychic killer and to deal a lot of damage to blissey with low kick, who i see in a lot of teams. the evs are spread to make him do a lot of damage and survive a hit so it can revenge kill opponents that it hit super effectively.

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice]

i also like magnezone a lot and he serves the role of killing bulky watertypes like azumarill and to deal with fairy types and flying types. volt switch let it deal damage and switch if it looks dangerous for him. hidden power ice is for some coverage against rock and dragon types. its a fast special sweeper.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- X-Scissor

gliscor serves as the support role and has the ability poison heal and his ev's in defense and hp to let him last as long as possible to keep using toxic to aid others with killing the targets. x-scissor is for dark types and dealing some damage if it has too. its also for setting up stealth rocks

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpA
Relaxed Nature
- Scald
- Haze
- Recover
- Toxic

quagsire is just as gliscor bulky in defense but serves more as a tank and can set off statt changes to stop things like snorlax. scald is used for fire types and overall damage. while toxic is for aiding the rest of the team. recover is for lengthen his lifespan and for the general tank properties.

Heatran @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Protect

heatran is for those pesky steel types likes the always annoying aegislash and to deal with ferrothorn and other gras types that threaten quagsire and tyranitar/gliscor. it also walls fire types with flash fire and can outspeed enough things to sweep away things the rest have a hard time with. protect is to give it a little longer lifespan.

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Thunderbolt
- Defog

and finnaly latios, to deal with the common fighting type with psyshock and to hit hard with draco meteor in general thunderbolt is for charizard and talonflame and other flyingtypes and water types.
its fast and it hits hard. defog is to help with tankers with screens


a lot of movesets are from the smogon national dex but i made a few changes so they work better for me. the only thing that im missing is grass type attacks to kill things like swampert and quagsire who are immune to electric attacks. so if you can help me out please let it know.

ps: i'm from holland so my english isn't perfect.

For doubles you really need to have an idea or way to win. TR, rain, HO, are all examples of this but just bringing a balanced isnt going to work like it does in ou. If you have an idea what you want then tell me and i'll help. Also you're prob going to get this post locked because there isn't 3 lines of text for each poke. :P

Looks better ^_^

First off i'd reccomend this heatran set:
Heatran @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
- Heat Wave
- Substitute
- Protect
- Earth Power

Definently has been working for me and many other players and simple to use.

Next: Since you lack a mega I'd like to see you using a mega kangskan over gliscor--
Kangaskhan (F) @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Fake Out
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch

Other then that cool team and i hope you get into doubles more :D
