Congrats to malaow3 for winning!
This week's Pokemon is in fact not a Pokemon at all but instead a move:
Trick Room is one of the most defining moves in Doubles, with its dimension twisting properties allowing Pokemon that wouldn't see success otherwise due to their slow speed such as Torkoal and Diancie to thrive. You do not need to use any one specific Pokemon on your team. As long as at least one Pokemon has the move Trick Room it will be valid.

One of my favorite teams I’ve ever built finally gets a home:
https://pokepast.es/fb560bf5ca28e6bd
While this team was originally built as a gimmick, it ended up being much more solid than anticipated, in large part thanks to the strength of the TR archetype. Diancie and Ursaluna are able to throw out powerful spread moves, and are well supported with mons that are able to take care of the pokemon they are unable to break.
The team had a “gimmick” mode where you turn 1 side u turn vespiquen into Tera grass diance, proc WP, switch to sinistcha, heal, set trick room, and then you have a +2 diancie next to redirection under TR, resulting in a very strong position for turn 2 and beyond.
Moltres Galar offers some ability to set up and beat a lot of the pokemon that would give this team trouble, such as incineroar, sinistcha, or rillaboom.
Porygon2’s absurd bulk and great coverage and sinistcha’s utility make them great TR setting partners for the three offensive moms mentioned above.
Lastly, vespiquen is able to safely pivot in teammates with its slow u-turn (slower than the contested base 50 speed!) and can provide utility next to sweepers with pollen puff and helping hand. Sunny day was put there as an archaludon counter (and believe it or not it worked!) but now that the bridge fell that moveslot can probably be replaced. By what? Who knows, this Pokemon doesn’t get many other viable moves.
This team was able to climb up to top 150 on DOU ladder and took an account from 15-0 to 30-0 in some of the funniest games of all time.
Vespiquen ladder session if anyone wants to watch:

Only the finest trick room team I made at 1 in the morning
The objective is to go for Belly Drum or Sword Dance with Lax/Hands set up trick room with another mon then start doing damage or just let Hoopa or Diance attack.
Sinistacha provides support for the physical sweepers with Life Dew and Rage Powder as well as being a trick room setter not immediately afraid of Rillaboom.
I was using Belly Drum+Rockslide Iron Hands earlier but found SD+Ice Punch was more consistent you could use that if you want or replace Sinistacha with Torkoal/Armarouge if you want more fire power.
Replays of it doing stuff

Congratulations to Trout In Space for winning!
This weeks Pokemon is Gouging fire.
Gouging fire is a great utility Pokemon and powerful offensive threat that supports its teammates with to howl to boost their attack and breaking swipe to weaken the opponents own physical attackers.

Here's my take on a Gouging Fire team -- far from perfect, but it does have the ability to enable some of the other physical attackers on the team which can snowball quickly.
Here are some replays where Gouging Fire provides some value:

I haven't been committed to SV for a long while, but I love team-building competition. Here's my take ~
I think Regieleki and Incineroar works well in debuffing opposing mons. Lando is obviously a concern, so Waterpon was added. Fake Out and Follow Me is a good combo to help a mon setup, so I chose another Ground-immune, Goltres. Regieleki's electroweb should help Goltres to outspeeed most naturally fast mons in the tier.

hello fokls, I am here to present "sheepie's gone insane again"
so lets start with eleki, it kinda SUCKS rn, has almost no favourable mus into top mons other then maybe Ogerpon-W but even then the second it gets speed control its over for eleki. I figured just get the most out of its powerful tools in speed and transistor, so went specs. it can ohko woger and incin with thunder (tera required for the latter), and just is a fast nuisance that can hit super hard, in the vein of iron bundle. I then added pelipper for rain to make it so thunder actually hits, and so it can help vs the annoying ground and grass types that can take its attacks with ease. Then I added glimmora cause rocks and tspikes are stupid strong and allow for eleki to sorta pop off late game.
woger abuses rain very nicely, and I dropped follow me / encore for play rough to surprise ko roaring moon which otherwise is largely annoying for the first 3, whilst the core of peli + oger loves having eleki to threaten tornadus, opposing woger and other things. Then, pao is nice for more into ladnorus and rillaboom and roaring moon, I chose to go adamant tera ice with nmi to snatch a few important calcs, ohking moon before it can move with ice shard, ohkoing bulky rilla with ice spinner and woger with tera ice ice spinner and 2shotting iron hands with the same, whilst life orb would mess with a couple defensive calcs, notably it living sandsear from lando and 2 gglides from rillaboom and a few others. Then finally I added lando, sandsear goes crazy when you can't miss, and then weather ball is yet another method to snipe landorus, blursa/ursa, air balloon mons, bronzong, as well as being flexible into other weather mus. this makes lando hard walled by woger, but it can be threatened and handled in some capacity by every other teammate so I am okay with sacrificing that, though if you want its an easy change to make if you want to. yea so that's that, a weird team but pretty successful.
