hello everyone i am new to the smogon doubles and i made a team that for the most part did really well with some notable weakneses aka the fighting weakness i did some editing myself replace the originall ferrothorn for cofa but i think that this team could be improved and i could really use advice
POKEMON NO 1:ABOMASNOW,Nickname:pimpasnow item:abomasnite ability:soundproof
Nature brave
moveset
protect
blizzard
ice shard
giga drain
EV spread
252 hp and special attack 4 attack
abomasnow if it wasnt obvious is my favourite pokemon and i saw a lot of potentional in trick room doubles.
i use brave nature to boost ice shard so it can do an amount dmg that would help pick off low hp oposing pokemon.every non physical abomasnow runs blizzard to fully abuse its snow warning ability.giga drain is there for recovery and stab pretty much.soundproof and protect have teh same purpose,i like to lead with my abomasnow and one of my trick room set up users so i lead with protect without mega evolving which provides an extra turn of hail because i have soundproof while not mega and while abomasnow is safe with protect trick room goes up then new turn you mega evolve and your rampage shall begin!
POKEMON NO 2:CRESSELIA,nickname:crushelia item:leftovers ability levitate
nature sassy
moveset
trick room
protect
psyhick
moonblast
ev spread
252 hp spdef 4 spattack
here i have some struggle finding the correct moveset trick room and protect are a must in my opinion but for the other two moves i chose psyhick or i could try psyshock and moonblast for coverage cuz i dont want to t wave and icy win due to the fact that this is a trick room team and all i do by using icy wind and t wave is give them extra speed so i dont know what i am going to do with it
NOTE:i realised midway writting this that i did not give a description of the team in the start or the winning conditions so i am going to write them down at the end(also this is my first rmt so i dont expect to make it flawless)
POKEMON NO3:COFAGRIGUS nickname:the cool kid <---anyone ideas for a punny cofagrigus name?item:leftovers
nature sassy
moveset
trick room
toxic spikes
shadow ball
will o wisp
ev spread 128 hp spdef 252 def
here i dont think i have too much to say its a standard t spikes trick room cofagrigus with a wierd ev spread to take all types of hits well and shadow ball over hex just because i want to be safe in cases i cant burn something because of guts or fire tyoe shadow ball is a really handy stab also i have conciderd protect and d bond on this moveset
POKEMON NO 5:heatran nickname heatrun <------- for the note i know the pun is bad but thats what came into my mind at the time item air balloon
nature quiet
moveset
heatwave
flash cannon
hp ice/earth power
protect
ev spread
252 hp spattack 4 spdef
not much to say really heatran even though he is a bit fast for trick room he is still pretty strong it forces to oponent not to use fire moves on the abomasnow in the fear of boosting a heatran in trickroom heatwave is there to do spread dmg to both enemies flash cannon is there to get you the stab and then i cant choose between hp ice and e power because i can switch in an eq from something like a garchomp and i can payback with hp ice but e power gives really good coverage i even conciderd replacing flash cannon so i can have ice ground coverage protect is there to protect on the trick room cast turn.
POKEMON NO 6:scraft nickname crafty<---- dunno if this was a good pun maybe maybe not, item leftovers/lum berry(really hard choice)
nature impish
ev spread 252 hp def 4 attack( i could drop some def for some attack)
moveset
quick guard
drain punch
fake out
crunch/protect
ability:intimidate
this set is here for smogon bird aka talonflame with its quick guard.Fake out is here to stop prankster pokemon or any pokemon for the matter from setting up dealling damage to a win condition like a trick roomer heatran or abomasnow crunch or protect is a hard question to answer because crunch is great coverage while protect can win games in doubles nothing else to say really.
POKEMON NO6:rotom wash nickname: rotom what<----- this nickname was used over my casual water type nickname ben drowned cuz i was trying to be punny as you guessed already i failed badly
nature bold
ev spread 252hp 100 def spdef 28 spattack
moveset
protect
hydro pump
thunderbolt
will o wisp
protect
ability:levitate
vgc rotom wash feets on every team out of non water or electric monotype teams but that doesnt really count i gave the moveset spread bulk and some extra fire power to deal better dmg and actually hurt things with t bolt and hydro pump.the best fitting move on the third slot was arguably will o wisp because its a really nice support move on rotom and protect is there cuz its protect and its amazing in doubles thats all i have to say here really.
Now into the team explanition so people dont complain about me not writting it.
so as mentioned this team is corred around mega abomasnow which while it has horrible typing and its the slowest thing alive and goes at the speed of internet explorer its great in trick room which makes him the winning condition all you ahve to do is set up trick room without abomasnow getting damaged and you are in a great spot which gives you a lot of freedom to spam blizzard like there is no tommorow.then the mvp till now heatran can pretty much as long as its alive remove the fire weakness from abomasnow giving it more freedom to switch on many threats that would normally crush abomasnow.i use to trick room users because if one gets critted(it hasnt happend yet but i know it will)by something and gets killed you have other trickroomer in the back also its trick roomer provides different thigns to the team cresselia provides really safe trick room and i dont know about what else i could give it i could also give it recovery now that i think about so it can set up more than 2 trick rooms because all i need to get a lot of damage to his team is one trick room the second one is to garantee the wipe i forgot to mention that if you use cofa as a lead over cress you can get really early will o wisps on the oposing team.last and least crafty teh scrafty has not mvped one game yet while everyone else has already so he is way to supporty but he can break the oposing smogon birds aka talon flames pretty easiliy and thats due to quick guard and physical defence investment.thats all i have to say about the punny abomasnow team i really hope some fo you could give me advice on how i could improve this team thanks from now well thats it.
