Just a little team i made on showdown :) (Gen 9 Doubles OU)

OK so i know it wont be the best but i think it is solid because i have an 8:10 win ratio with this team so here it are the pokemon:
Amoonguss w/ Black Sludge. Ability: Effect Spore. Moves: Spore, Giga Drain, Protect, Rage Powder. EVs: 252 HP 166 Def 92 SpD. Nature: Bold. Tera Type: Grass
Gholdengo w/ Life Orb. Ability: Good as Gold. Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Make It Rain, Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball. EVs: 252 SpA 252 Spe, Nature: Timid. Tera Type: Steel
Incineroar w/ Life Orb. Ability: Intimidate. Moves: Swords Dance, Flame Charge, Darkest Lariat, Leech Life. EVs: 252 Atk 252 Spe. Nature: Adamant. Tera Type: Dark
Baxcalibur w/ Loaded Dice. Ability: Thermal Exchange. Moves: Dragon Dance, Icicle Spear, Glaive Rush, Protect. EVs: 252 Atk 252 Spe. Nature: Jolly. Tera Type: Ice/Dragon
Rillaboom w/ Life Orb. Ability: Grassy Surge. Moves: Swords Dance, Grassy Glide, Low Kick, Knock Off. EVs: 252 Atk 252 Spe. Nature: Jolly. Tera Type: Grass
Azumarill w/ Sitrus Berry. Ability: Huge Power. Moves: Play Rough, Belly Drum, Aqua Jet, Knock Off. Evs: 252 Atk 252 Spe. Nature: Jolly. Tera Type: Fairy/Water/Steel

So basically the strategy is to lead with Amoonguss and Gholdengo. Spore one of the two pokemon with Amoonguss (preferrably a physical attacker) and with Gholdengo use nasty plot. on the next turn on Amoonguss use Rage Powder and on Gholdengo use make it rain for some HEAVY damage (note: you can use tera steel to boost the power even more or you can use it on another mon ill get to later but that is optional) The strategy for Incineroar is to mostly stall with Leech Life and Darkest Lariat after youve gotten a speed boost from flame charge. Swords Dance if possible. For Baxcalibur, This is gonna be one of your main hard hitters. You can use Loaded Dice buffed Icicle Crash. Or you can use already powerful Glaive Rush. If you use glaive rush make sure to protect the next turn to not die to the 2x damae after using glaive rush. Use Dragon Dance if possible. For Rillaboom, make sure you get a Swords Dance off before going offensive, when you do go offensive use Knock Off or Grassy Glide depending on the situation. Low Kick is usually only for heavy pokemon and strong normal types like Regigigas and Slaking. And finally the most fun one to use of all, Azumarill. This guy hits like a truck. (This is why you couldve saved your tera if you didnt use it on Gholdengo) First if your using Tera Steel use that before you use Belly Drum. (whenever you send out Azumarill get off a belly drum ASAP.) After you Belly Drum, If your Tera Water, terastallize into Tera Water and sweep with Aqua Jet if you use Tera Fairy, (the worse out of the other two) sweep with Play Rough. Tera Steel is mostly used for getting rid of your weaknesses while belly drumming. And thats really about it! if you read this all thanks for reading and i hope this helps you out!
 
Hi, while looking for feedback on your team is more than welcome, I'm afraid making a thread for it here isn't the correct way to go about it. Making a thread usually requires moderator approval. Making a post in the DOU Team Bazaar thread would be the appropriate thread, or you could post in the RMT forum (making sure to follow their rules) if you're looking for a more official rate. However, if you're looking for real-time feedback I would also recommend posting your team in either the Smogon Doubles Discord or the PS room. So I'm going to lock this thread and move it into the DOU archive.

As for the team, utilizing Incineraor & amoonguss to support set-up sweepers is a pretty solid strategy, however you may find as you play better competition that needing to constantly set-up before attacking may leave you lacking immediate offense. So combining the roles of Azumarill & Rillaboom into a swords dance Ogerpon-Wellspring could be effective. Then with that now-opened pokemon slot, you could add some speed control with Tornadus.
