4v4 Doubles UU combines Smogon's tiering system and policies with VGC's unique format rules. This means a metagame without frustrating Pokemon like Sneasler and Miraidon, but also means a metagame without glue like Incineroar and Rillaboom. 4v4 Doubles UU will have tier shifts every 2 months to align with VGC's 4 month format length. We will be using VGC Regulation H Best of 3 1630 stats, with Pokemon at 4.52% usage and above banned. The Banned Pokemon are in the following image. Evasion Moves, Bright Powder, Commander, and Urshifu are notably community banned from every 4v4 Doubles UU format, as they bring the most overpowered and uncompetitive strategies in a doubles metagame.

Because Regulation J is the current format on the VGC Ladder, it is also being hosted alongside Regulation H as a side-format. This is the banlist and challenge code:

this fomrat has been quite easily some of the most fun ive had playing mons in a long time, and I'm super excited to see it become a um. massive congrats and thanks to val and geph and the whole team for putting so much effort in (even if you never listen to my very fair and unbiased ban arguments >:c). Excited for the future of the tier and I would love to contribute more to the tier.
 
Hello here, I am Mrpizzaofoz, those who are in this format know me as the middest player alive. And rightfully so, but I still remain in this format because it's the most fun format ever. Congratulation Luna and Gep stinks. I am sad I was not able to play this format much due to my ass time zone and was not able to contribute much but this step makes 4v4 Doubles UU even more accessible. As a UM this has so much potential. (now i can play 2 formats for UMFL maybe). Hopefully we get many more members join this and love this tier (and push me to irrelevancy). But this was a long time coming after so much hard work from luna and gep. 4v4 Doubles UU Deserves it. Hopefully I am able to contribute more (and not be sent this

Thank you again for this amazing format and here is more to come. Also, those who are new to 4v4 Doubles UU Sinnoy has missed 13 fissures in a row, he is truly mid remember that. But yeah, again look forward to contributing more.
 
Silver here, ever since i joined this format, I’ve had lots of fun, even when there aren’t that many people it’s still enjoyable imo, even though I suck and I am probably the worst player in this format that is active, I still love it
(Also here is funny image cuz why not)
