This is a mixture of Semi TR and Full TR. The team has 1 speed safety net and the rest are dedicated to TR. Instead of going for Gallade lead, I went for Mesperit, and I will almost always lead with it unless I see a dark type. It reliably gets up TR with its great bulk and can attack with Psychic, a reliable STAB. Ice Beam hits Grass and Dragons which can be annoying. Hariyama is a great Fake Out user as it can scare away Darks/Taunters so Mespirit can get up TR easily. After the Fake Out, it activates Flame Orb which activates Guts which activates the power. Now Hariyama can fire off Guts boosted CCs and Ice Punch for Flyings, Grasses, and Dragons. It can also outspeed almost everything under TR; what a monster! Gallade is similar as it can also use super powered STAB moves and can also set up TR. Escavalier is a strong mon with 135 Atk. Megahorn is a great move to spam as it destroys everything that doesn't resist it. The other move are coverage. Assault Vest also gets Escavalier good mixed bulk. Hydreigon is my only speed safety net. It revenge kills lots of mons that give me trouble, as well as some other TR setters who try to disrupt my strategy. Its Draco Meteor is incredibly strong and can kill lots of threats. Finally, Rhyperior finishes it off, having the only 2 spread moves on my team. It also can afford to spam Rock Slide or Earthquake if I have levitators, as anything will get hit with good damage if it tries to switch in. TR setup is the goal of this team, and relies on it to succeed. If it gets up, it'll be easy to win.

With the absence of Drizzle Politoed and Snow Warning Abomasnow in the Smogon Doubles UU metagame, I created a Sun team to take advantage of the lack of opposing weather. Ninetales triggers Sun with her Drought ability, and the Heat Rock increases the longevity of Sun. Mega-Houndoom is a scary special sweeper packed with a 140 base Special Attack, launching Solar Power + Sun-boosted STAB Heat Waves that will deal a significant amount of damage to any Pokémon that doesn't resist it. Cherrim serves as a specially defensive wall with an Assault Vest, not to mention the ability Flower Gift gives her and her partner a 1.5x boost in Attack and Special Defense. Rhyperior provides Psychic-type (Latias) coverage with Megahorn and Fire-type coverage (Rotom-H) with either STAB Rock Slide or Drill Run. Defensive Latias is great for switching into incoming Fighting-type moves, and she's a second Sun inducer who provides her partner Pokémon with an extra power boost thanks to Helping Hand. Helioisk is extremely powerful with Choice Specs and a Solar Power boost, OHKOing most Water-types and Flying-types with STAB Thunderbolt and he decimates any Pokémon who doesn't resist his STAB Hyper Beam.

I battled champetero just now in an attempt to get this meta the attention it deserves

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-136976691

I made a bum misplay at the start of the game by losing escavalier, but life orb victini pulls through for me to win the game in a gg.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-136983098

A second replay vs audiosurfer. I got outplayed and his tean was much better than mine, but then my team is a wip.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-137136515

Me vs audiosurfer again. Even though trick room is very good in this meta, with threats like escavalier and solid tr setters in jellicent for example, HO can still work well and this battle is a good example. I threw together a bunch of fast threats and a tailwind user and this was the result.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-137342621

Me vs audiosurfer. Audio was trying out a few things like his famed scraggy and belly drum slurpuff! Even though he forgot about the 4 hp evs needed, a bit of well timed hax won him the game.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-137507151

A game vs pinoy pwnage. He is using his sun team with mega houndoom, and a crit on his cherrim helped me win.

244+ SpA Rotom-H Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Flower Gift Cherrim in Sun: 228-270 (66.2 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO o.o

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-137565843

A battle against greenninjask from PS. We are both using tr and it turns out to be a pretty close game, it shows how many threats there are under tr and that it is a strong playstyle in uu

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-137630309

A game vs benja299 from PS. he used some pretty cool pokes like grotle and entei, and after some unfortunate hax at the start, i had to make plays. I lost when esca used drill run on hydreigon predicting entei, but a gg

So yeah anyone who wants to battle i will be more than happy to. I wanna get this meta played more.

Ok so im double posting but no one else posts here anyway

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-138498478

A very fun games vs dashspin. He had some really cool anti tr measures on his tailwind team, which really made me struggle at the start. Roar suicune amd taunt nidoking are really nice. It took a well placed snarl to get a tr up, but dashspins team was a good team which really cockblocked tr

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-138617769

Me vs dashspin r2. My tailwind team was quite a lot more offensive than his, as i had deo a and keldeo to name a few :P so i was easily able to run through his team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-139825968

Me vs greenninjask again. This time i was dominated throughout the game and it started off with a really nifty (and unexpected) mental herb musharna. I was on the back foot throughout the whole game. Well played greenninjask.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoublesuu-141010517

A replay vs lolk. I was really excited to see what haxorus could do in the uu meta, with good speed for tailwind and high attack. I didnt unfortunately :( Although i made a lot of misplays, it was quite a fun game, and the first ive played in quite some time

Yes, this team is basically a mashup of all the biggest threats in dubs uu, on one team. Rotom H is one of the best pokes in the meta, with a combination of nice typing, relatively good bulk and WoW, which is so good. All the moves are standard, item is too.

Next we have goodra. I didnt like AV goodra because its weak af and it already has high spdef, life orb is so much better. Draco meteor kills things and fire blast and tbolt provide nice strong coverage.

Tornadus is the next poke. I always wanted to use tailwind, and this was the first poke i chose, because prankster was nice to set up a speedy speed boost. Wide lens is used because hurricane is quite accurate after it and heat wave is for escavalier (and 100% accurate!).

Quite a funny thing about keldeo, in all the games ive played with this team, i only realised when posting this that it had no evs or nature! And still it is super strong! This poke destroys rotom h and a lot of other pokes with LO. taunt over quick guard because there is not too much priority in uu and to stop tr.

Why is deo a even allowed lol. Wrecks things with superpower, psycho boost and ice beam. So strong. So fast. So OP.

Lastly we have weavile, this thing is my main tr check, knock off beats loads.of setters, fake out stops tr being set up or stop the support poke from stopping keldeo taunt the setter. Ice shard is so weavile is useful in opposing tw or tr.

If you want to see the team in action, the last two posts show it. Pls play dubs uu, i will happily accept a challenge.
