Extreme Terror (Doubles Team)

I have been testing this team out on Doubles (showdown, too) and it has done great for me

Here is the main sweeper:

Linoone

Ability I randomly choose since it is not worth anything
@ Air Balloon
252 Atk 252 Spe 4HP; Adamant
-ExtremeSpeed
-Protect
-Rock Smash/ Shadow Claw (change it depending on the threats)
-Belly Drum
This is the terror in the team. Once it gets set up, it cant be stopped. Once I show my other mons, you will understand why it is more useful than going with Linoone solo, and it holding an Air Balloon.

Now for its perfect partner:
Amoongus

@ Focus Sash
Effect Spore
252 HP 200 Def 56 SpDef
Sassy Nature
-Foul Play
-Rage Powder
-Clear Smog
-Protect
This Pokemon is a HUGE help to Linoone. First use Rage Powder to attract all attacks to it, then let Linoone set up and continue sponging hits. it resists Fighting -type attacks, which are always going to be targeted at Linoone first, and also takes a moderate amount of damage from Earthquake, which Linoone is immune to because of the Air Balloon. Protect is for scouting in conjunction with Linoone and his Protect. The rest of the moves are filler; Foul Play can help against high Attack base-stat Pokemon that could otherwise OHKO Linoone or after Linoone is KOd. And Clear Smog is for Bulk Up and Calm Mind sweepers that would threaten the entire team, but the move is rarely used. And Focus Sash is only used for surviving more than 1 hit before the moves are targeted back to Linoone.

Next Teammate
Dragonite

@ Leftovers
Multiscale
244 HP 12 Atk 252 Spe
Adamant
-Roost
-Dragon Claw
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
This Dragonite set is not much unique except for Earthquake instead of Fire Punch. The main reason for having Earthquake is that it effects all Pokemon on the field, and my main sweeper (Linoone) is immune to it as well. If Linoone faints before you send Dragonite out, try using Dragon Claw instead of Earthquake unless you send or have out my next teammate already
 
Now for my other 3 teammates:

Salamence

@ Life Orb
Moxie
252 Atk 252 Spe 4 SpAtk
Hasty
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Blast
-Roost

This is the teammate to have along with Dargonite. Dragonite is faster after a DD and will deal great amounts of damage on non-Levitate, Flying and Air Balloon Pokemon, then since Salamence will be slower, will finish off the rest and thus getting some Moxie boosts. Along with the damage that was dealt to any Pokemon that resisted Linoone before, it will be easier to take out threats.

And yet again another Teammate
Chansey

@ Eviolite
252 Def 252 HP 4 SpDef
Bold
Serene Grace
- Seismic Toss
- Counter
- Water Pulse
- Wish/ Softboiled ( I mainly use Softboiled, but rarely use Wish)
The point of Chansey is to have a little support in Seismic Toss and
Water Pulse in irritating the enemy along with Linoone if it is still alive. It is pretty useful, and the only reason I choose SG over Natural Cure is because of the useful confusion that comes with Water Pulse. Do not use Chansey along with an Earthquaker, because the Earthquake will most likely deal large amounts of damage to it or OHKO it, and if it survives and uses Counter, the Earthquaker is dead if it was the last Pokemon to attack.
Counter is mainly for Physical attackers and Seismic Toss is for consistant damage while you are stalling out non-super effective moves.

And the final Mon:
Drapion

@ Leftovers
Battle Armor
252 Spe 252 HP 4 Def
- Toxic Spikes
- Accupressure
- Protect
- Toxic
The main purposes Drapion serves on this team is setting up Toxic Spikes and using Accupressure on its partner. The rest is for if you are done with your duties. Protect is for scouting out moves and evading a potential E-Quake, while at the same time healing through Leftovers. And Toxic is for Pokemon already out.
 
You're gonna need Images for your RMT. Also, your team can be stomped on by a well placed Fake Out/Breaker combo like Top/Deo-A.
 
Your team is pretty good, the idea, anyway, but your strategy is completely destroyed by Heat Wave/ Air Cutter/ Eruption/ Water Spout/ Rock Slide/ Muddy Water/ Surf and any team-attacking move targeting both Linoone and Amoongus. I suggest switching Chansey with a more Specially-orientated Pokemon such as Nidoking or Heatran, as they can still support your team with Toxic and Burn. And Landorus-T is a good replacement for Chansey, as well giving Salamence a Wish Support/Cleric set (Double Intimidate via U-Turning with Landorus-T).
