Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Sorry to everyone triggered by how dreadful this team looks. Before I get banned from the Forum for not knowing what I'm doing please just trust as awful as this team looks it actually does good if you take the time to learn how to play it properly.
Ninetales-Alola @ Icium Z
Ability: Snow...

Deoxys-Attack Hyper Offence
My name is Dan (or Psijguy on the forums) and I've been playing competitive Pokemon since BW2 but have never posted on the forum. After not enjoying this years VGC16 format I decided to learn Smogon doubles and created this team which has been...
