Where can I find good information about double battle strategies other than the article section on the site?

I agree with Will-o-Wisp over Toxic on Moltres, as it's more common to see Steelix and Registeel than it is Ninetails or Arcanine with Flash Fire.

With Steelix and Registeel running around it's just not worth it to run Dodrio or Swellow.

You've got to add Parafusion :P

Why can Moltres be hit by Earthquake on the Shoddy server and Charizard can't?

Where you get the big pictures for Drapion, Steelix, Shaymin and such? The team overall is really good after trying it, although it doesn't fit my playstyle I can tell it's been really thought out

HP Fire on Raikou, if you are leading with it Explosion over Toxic on Steelix because you are already spiking with Drapion

What are some of the best counters to Life Orb, Technician Scizor? I've heard Swampert and Gyrados are pretty decent.

As recommended previously, go with Hidden Power Psychic or Hidden Power Ground, on your Venusaur, to weed out potentially dangerous switch ins such as Weezing and Ninetails. I'm not really a fan of Trick Rotom especially when you are using a move that doesn't have 100% accuracy. I'd recommend a...

Exeggutor is BL not UU. I recommend using Kecleon as an alternate Pokemon with Trick Room who can provide resistances to Shadow Ball that people will be firing left and right against your Claydol and Hypno. Use Swellow as your lead over Absol allowing you to set up your Facade + Flame Orb...

Cloyster doesn't wall as much as you think it would. Omastar is perfectly fine against Swellow. There are too many Poison-Type Pokemon to warrant the use of Toxic Spikes in the UU metagame. I recommend switching it for Hidden Power Grass to fend off other Bulky Waters or Rain Dance. Other...

Nidoking: Drop Earthquake, add Earth Power. Change Hidden Power Grass to Hidden Power Fighting or Psychic or consider using Sucker Punch. While Nidoking is more effective on the physical side, a special Nidoking can be equally effective in catching the opponent off guard. Electrode: Drop for a...

I'm fine with having Aerodactyl around, Venusaur and Miltank, on the other hand I am concerned about having around because they are excessively bulky. Venusaur runs in a similar fashion to Jumpluff, it means running Toxic/Flame Orb Clefable in order to threaten a switch with Ice Beam, carrying a...

Insomnia on Banette, remove one of the status inflicters most likely Thunder Wave, depending on how many Steelix leads you face in place of Taunt or Protect. HP Psychic, HP Ground on Venusaur would probably be more useful. Helps to prevent Pokemon such as Ninetails and Weezing.from getting free...

I don't see the point of having two status inflicting moves on Rotom. Switch Thunder Wave with Shadow Ball to take down Claydol and Hypno. Body Slam over Return on Kangashan, it's personal preference but the paralysis will help a lot in the long run which will give your Kangashan more...

Sounds like you put a lot of thought into that. I like the idea of putting HP Grass over Protect on Rotom. Having Protect is not absolutely necessary and while it's nice to stall Will-O-Wisp out, it becomes a lot eaiser to take down Gastrodon. I'm a bit iffy about Quagsire, especially since...

Grumpig @ Leftovers Ability: Thick Fat EVs: 252 SpAtk / 160 Def / 96 SpD Modest Nature (+SpAtk, -Atk) - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Magic Coat - Psychic - Shadow Ball Persian give this the most trouble. Fake Out and U-Turn hit decently hard. Mirror Coat has +4 priority and helps to block...

Finally some uses Trapinch, I've seen enough Magnet Rise Probopass.

Event moves are banned on Shoddy Battle so that is a no-no for Wish Hypno. Blastoise over Cloyster. Life Orb Toxicroak is perfectly fine without Rain Dance. Roost over Rest for Altaria.

Seriously, I don't know who started this resurgence in using Clefable as a lead Pokemon (but it has to stop here). Protect doesn't really tell you a lot considering that opening moves and Pokemon, for that matter, are too predictable, which means more often than not all you'll dodge is a status...
