After watching VGC on youtube for a little, I searched up some sample teams and saw self weakness teams. If you don't know the concept, its basically like this. You lead with 2 pokemon, use one to trigger weakness policy, do damage. Its pretty OP, and one of the most common thing is Bulldoze Dusclops+Rhyperior. Its a deadly duo and I decided to bring it to Doubles OU!
Now enjoy the team!
Wartortle @ Eviolite
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Flip Turn
- Follow Me
- Ice Punch
- Rapid Spin
I haven't seen many teams with hazards but this is decent at getting rid of hazards. I'm not sure what else to say. I would like a better replacement so I'd like some help on that. Its also able to provide redirection and able to pivot out if needs be. Rain Dish is to try to leech onto some benefits from rain teams because those are actually dangerous.
Metagross @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Self-Destruct
- Bullet Punch
- Hammer Arm
- Meteor Mash
This is to weaken opponents and it can go boom haha. Because none of my team resists normal types, I just went for self destruct. Its a trade. It can actually do some damage with band. This is just here because I have no idea what else to put on this slot. It can also absorb damage to ensure a safe switch in for anybody. If they have a huge boost, I sack this one right here.
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock
- Tri Attack
- Recover
Bulk. Not sure what else to say. Its possible to run Psych Up but its kinda difficult to get the psych up off because every mon is targeting it after Moltres gains a +2 boost. I could, but it hasn't proved succesfull. Electroweb is a good move but during 2v2 situations, it doesn't do enough damage so Tri Attack was used instead. Psychock is just there because its a good move and gains boost from Lele
Tapu Lele @ Choice Specs
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psyshock
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
No priority for everybody but moltres. There is no way to prevent priority sooo this thing just here to weaken opponents so Moltres has a path to a clean clean sweep. Psyshock in case of assault vest anything with a decent SPDef stat. It can successfuly do some damage to Chansey and Blissey as well. The other moves are just for more coverage. Specs Lele is a hard hitter.
Moltres-Galar @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Berserk
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fiery Wrath
- Hyper Voice
- Shadow Ball
- Air Slash
The one who gains the boost. Its commonly used in vgc i think. Fiery Wrath is a great move with 90 BP and hitting both opponents. The 20% flinch chance is also amazing. If luck likes you, it'll literally win you the game. Hyper Voice as well to hit fairy, dark, and fighting type pokemon Shadow Ball for coverage and Air Slash for further STAB.
Comfey @ Leftovers
Ability: Triage
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draining Kiss
- Ally Switch
- Floral Healing
- Toxic
Comfey triggers the weakness policy. Triage increases Draining Kiss' priority to frikin +3. Thats the same priority as fake out( i think) and protect(I think too). Ally Switch to help absorb hits, and Floral Healing to heal moltres. Toxic wears them down. Also, Moltres has a neat ability called beserk so when you heal them and hey do damage, they increase the SPA stat even further, causing more desctruction.
Threats that I think are threats.
Trick Room.
Trick Room teams are relatively effective when used properly. With all the Pokémon not meant to be in trick room, it can wreck me. Porygon2 and Metagross can do something as Porygon2 is commonly used in trick room and Metagross carries Hammer Arm, allowing it to outspeed a lot of mons in Trick Room. Wartortle doesn't have decent speed tier so I guess that counts?
Weather
Sand Rush, Swift Swim, Chlorophyll, and the rare Slush Rush. These outspeed my team massively as none of my Pokémon have a good speed tier. The fastest is comfey with a 317 speed I think. This can wreck me so the most you can do is just pull in Wartortle/Porygon and Metagross to try to put in range of Lele or Porygon2/Wartortle to finish off
Didn't frogot pokepaste lol
Not the Pokepaste
With that, this concludes this team. I'm not sure how effective this is, but one thing I do know is that it can be massively improved and has a lot of potential. If possible, I ask you to please leave a comment/tip in the comments(duh) to help me improve this.
Now enjoy the team!
