Thanks for the additional advice! These all seem like solid picks- be a shame to get rid of Mimikyu (because it's my favourite Pokémon) but I am also fond of Yveltal, and Kyogre works pretty well with the squad thematically. The pinch berry for Pincurchin was to give it a little extra bulk to...

Thanks for the reply! If memory serves, I chose Pincurchin because I wanted to try something new (and reasoned that Pincurchin would be easier to get with perfect IVs on cart) but Tapu Koko does seem like a better shout. I kept Indeedee on the team because of her access to Expanding Force and...

Heya! It's uh....been a while since I posted this team, but I do still want to tweak it so I can try recreating it on cart before Scarlet and Violet! I know that more restricted Pokémon are allowed in the current rulesets, are there any I should keep an eye out, both for team members and things...

Hi! I've had a tone of fun with Gen 8 competitive with my Alcremie team, but I got a really good IV'd shiny Alolan Raichu in that one Pikachu-themed Max Raid Battle event and I really wanted to use it on a team. I've had a pretty good success rate with this squad so far, but I get the feeling it...

Wow, I honestly didn't expect this post to get any replies! That sounds like a shout, but Mystical Fire has come in really handy in a lot of battles, plus I like having the coverage and extra non-support options for Alcremie if things go south. Thanks! Polteageist is SO MUCH FUN to use...

Thought I'd bump this thread with a few updates! I've refined it a bit since making this post and recreated it on cart, where I've been winning around 50% of the games I play-that's a whole 20% more than when I started! A pal of mine has also been testing it out on Showdown with a lot of...

Heya! I'm pretty new to this whole competitive scene, Gen 8 is the first time I've done any serious team-building in Doubles. I've had a lot of fun with a team focused around Alcremie (I've been winning about a third of the games I've been playing, which is great numbers for me!), but was...

Hi! I'm pretty new to this whole competitive scene, and wanted to give Doubles a go for gen 8. I had some mixed success with an Alolan Persian-themed team in gen 7 (Persian, Alolan Marowak, Shiinotic, Toxapex, Jolteon, Glalie) that made use of Z-Parting Shot to support relatively frail...
