Doubles Ubers is a 6v6 doubles format with no Pokemon banned. Otherwise, it mirrors most clauses from Doubles OU, such as Species Clause and Evasion Clause (notably, you are allowed to Dynamax, and Gravity Sleep clause is not present). You can play DUbers on Pokemon Showdown, usually through the Doubles Ubers ladder. You can also ask for challenges in the Smogon Doubles room for battles with experienced players. Feel free to discuss DUbers in this thread, the Smogon Doubles room, or the #dubers channel in the Doubles Discord.
Bring 6 Pokemon, Doubles. Team Preview on. Players can use only and all Pokemon obtainable in Pokemon Sword & Shield.

Viability Rankings
Doubles Ubers tiering is done by DaWoblefet, Lord Death Man, n10sit, Yellow Paint, and Yuichi. Within tiers, Pokemon are ordered alphabetically. Feel free to suggest nominations in this thread!
>>Tier 1<<
Calyrex-ShadowPokemon that dominate a large portion of the metagame. They are either quite powerful or offer great team support, and can fit on almost any team. You can't really go wrong by using these Pokemon.
Ho-Oh
Kyogre
Yveltal
Zacian-Crowned
>>Tier 2<<
AmoongussPokemon that are generally strong and can easily be placed on a variety of teams, but don't have the same level of prowess as the threats in Tier 1.
Blastoise
Groudon
Incineroar
Necrozma-Dusk-Mane
Venusaur
Xerneas
Zamazenta-Crowned
>>Tier 3<<
Calyrex-IcePokemon that are generally strong, but less powerful than those in Tier 2 or Pokemon that require a decent amount of support or a specific team style to function well, but are defining pieces to said archetypes.
Grimmsnarl
Magearna
Rayquaza
Regieleki
Rillaboom
Tornadus
Whimsicott
Zekrom
>>Tier 4<<
DrednawThis tier contains either Pokemon that have broad applications on a variety of teams, but are simply less effective than those in higher tiers, or are only particularly useful for certain team styles.
Eternatus
Indeedee-F
Melmetal
Solgaleo
Tapu Fini
Urshifu-Single-Strike
Zygarde
>>Tier 5<<
CoalossalPokemon that, while they have a niche in the metagame, often struggle to find situations where they thrive, either because of the support required or their poor matchups.
Dialga
Ditto
Jirachi
Marshadow
Mew
Palkia
Reshiram
Tapu Koko
Tyranitar
