Metagame SM Doubles OU

Here's a super fun, fair, and interactive team I built during SM Cup:
:Manectric-Mega:-:Incineroar:-:Tapu Fini:-:Whimsicott:-:Gothitelle:-:Blissey:
If opponent doesn't have Fake Out, lead Whimsicott Blissey and Z-Snatch Cotton Guard turn 1. If opponent does have Fake Out, pivot with Manectric Incineorar until you're in position to Z-Snatch Cotton Guard. Click Serene Grace Rock Slide liberally and watch the light drain out of your opponent's eyes.

Ban Goth.

Here is my new favorite SM team.
I always wanted to make sludge wave work, after many iterations over time this is what came out best and it has lots of other cool features.
Nihilego is the main sludge waver and usually enters the game as a later game sweeper. Thundurus-Therian is the secondary sludge waver, he doenst really sludge wave that much, he usually is a lead mon and is a fast pivot or a surprise incinerate which is an underrated move in SM given how powerful and prevalent berries are.
Two steels are needed on a sludge wave team. Heatran was an obvious choice for fire coverage and shuca was necessary with double steel + Nihilego so sometimes heatran needs to take an earth move. Deciding on the second steel was difficult, ultimately SandSlash-A made sense with hail. Ninetails fits in to help on defense with screen and to kill lando+zygrade and with no grass the freeze dry comes in handy.
Lastly a bulky water mon and Mega was needed coverage, my first iteration with no hail had Gyarados-Mega with dragon dance which was cool but not viable enough. Swampert adds great coverage and fits on the hail team
