Metagame Doubles Ubers

Hey, I was thinking of getting into the competitive scene, and I wanted to use a team revolving around zamazenta and chien pao

This is it so far

Hey I think this team has some merits, you’ve selected some good Pokemon with decent synergy to start, however your sets are very suboptimal.

For instance, Iron Defense + Body Press Zama is great, but then brick break doesn’t make sense on it because then it only has fighting moves and can’t hit common ghost types like Calyrex shadow rider & Lunala. So I’d replace brick break with snarl, which also lowers special attackers ability to hit it hard. There’s also no need for special attack EVs. Lastly it likely wants protect so that its allies can take advantage of the opponent targeting it and remove/incapacitate checks.

Then Choice Band Incineroar really doesn’t make sense, Incineroar is a support pokemon in doubles, able to switch in on a lot of attacks & intimidate, then click fake out to give its ally a free turn to operate, then parting shot out and further lower stats.

As for the rest of the team, I think this could probably benefit from a bulky assault vest Kyogre, replacing the chien-pao with a Trick Room Calyrex Ice Rider, and then having the last slot be something like Swift swim Basculegion to give you a fast attacker.

But ultimately, I highly recommend starting with sample teams at the front of this thread until you get a hang of playing competitively and understand the metagame. Teambuilding is arguably the hardest part, so starting with good teams to develop your skills is the best way to begin.

https://pokepast.es/d0a133dcbc62dc70 CSR arceus zama chienpao smeargle xerneas(not important，no body like you，booo!could switch in to kyogre，because miraidon kinda just directly telling you my smeargle dont learn spore)
I used this team get not bad grade at national dex double uber，and i hope some one could develop such a interesting arceus set，could change arceus' return in to double edge，i really really begging for someone try the silk scarf double edge arceus+ruination chienpao!and tell me is it work or not!!!

Hey, i'd like to share the improvement on my Groudon CSR & Miraidon Lunala Team. Flutter is bulky specs tera normal (to deal with CSR if necessary) and benefit from the sun of Groudon. Iron hand is invest in spedef and can tank a lot. With the electric terrain it do a lot of dammage and is here to fake out and volt switch when needed. Trickroom on Lunala is important against tw. Enjoy!

Pokemon that have good coverage, hits hard, and generally has mediocre speed. Some good examples are Groudon, Kyogre, Zacian, Lunala, Arceus forms like fire, ground, & fairy, and even stuff like Palkia can work well.
