This is a double battle team I’ve perfected and wanted feedback on. Double battles are very offensive based and can provide some odd and unique combo’s. this is a rather unique team and it started when I had caught a regigigas in platinum and had no idea what to do with it, as I could find no viable sets I liked in single battle. I thought of using worry seed to get rid of slow start when I first saw somebody do that with a slacking. With that idea, I added it to my zapdos/erectevire double team and came up with this.
Regigigas (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Slow start
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Hp
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Return
- Stone Edge
- Drain Punch
- Rock Polish
A pokemon almost never seen in todays metagame, thanks to slow start. Because this is a double battle, my starting partner is mew. Mew starts off using worry seed to get rid of slow start while regigigas uses rock polish. I can now start an early sweep, and, if im lucky, I could sweep an entire team with just this guy and mew. Return makes a powerfull stab move, drain punch allows some recovery, and stone edge hits ghosts. Heavy Hp investment allows him to tank, and 252 attack on adamant regi makes his attack stat 460, an attack not to be trifled with.
Mew @ Flame Orb
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 SAtk/ 252 Spd / 4Hp
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Stealth Rock
- Worry Seed
- Earth Power
My starting partner to Regigigas, this guys job is to remove Slow Start from Regigigas with worry seed. He then supports when flame orb kicks in and burns the other 2 enemy pokemon with syncronize. If im still alive, I will set up stealth rock and attempt to do as much damage as possible with psychic and earth power. After mew dies, and Regi is probably alive, I switch to scizor
Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adament nature (+Atk, - SAtk)
- Bug bite
- Bullet punch
- Super Power
-Roost
A great partner to Regigigas, who should still be sweeping, Scizor will pound enemys with powerfull attacks. Bug bite, with technician, does the more damage than x-scissor and I may get lucky and eat an enemy’s berry. I only keep scizor alive until regigigas dies, and then I just stop healing and lifeorb myself to death or switch. My next pair on the field are zapdos and electivier.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Modest nature (+SpA, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Substitute
- Heat wave
- Roost
This guy is amazing paired with electivire. Ripping off discharge increases electiviers speed with motor drive, and subroost keeps zapdos alive. Heat wave provides good coverage. I picked leftovers for added survivability. Both of zapdos’s attacks hit both enemies, so he can finish off guys erectivire cant OHKO.
Erectivire (electivire) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Cross chop
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
- Wild charge
With motor drive, this guy gets a speed boost after zapdos uses discharge and he can start to sweep. His massive attack stat (379) plus life orb and a varied moveset allows him to finish off anything my gigas missed. The Zapdos/Electivire combo is a very affective sweeping combo and I use it in all my double battle teams.
Latias (legit shiny) (F) @ Choice specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Psychic
- Recover
- Trick
My bulky shiny latias, designed to switch in and ruin a physical attacker with trick, kill them with draco/psychic, and then recover or switch. This poke covers many of my teams weaknesses (fire from scizor, ground from electivire, and fighting from gigas), and has enough bulk to switch into an attack and OHKO back. Or trick.
That is my team, any feedback is appreciated.
