So I've been working on this new Doubles Team on PS for quite a while, and I'm really happy with the result. I peaked at around rank #89 on the ladder for a few days, and I'm pleased to say I've won a good 90% of battles. So this team is based around my two leads, Butterfree and Kangaskhan, who just form a really epic lead. Without further ado, here's the team!

Kangaskhan (F) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Scrappy
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 180 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Return
- Earthquake
- Protect
These two Pokemanz work really well together. Butterfree is immune to Equake, giving Kangaskhan a free Earthquake to both opponents. Butterfree's Sleep Powder is such a troll, and if my opponent allows me to sleep both leads, I'm in for a favour. This makes the leads pretty foddering, and especially threatening Pokemon are shut down. Whirlwind let's me blow threats away, and Tailwind provides epic support for Kanga to sweep. U-turn is for scouting and gives me momentum in the game.
Kangaskhan has really great synergy with Butterfree, and this makes them a great lading core. Kanghaskan is a basic sweeper, or rather, can shut down threats with Fake Out, giving me a free turn to put that certain threat to sleep via Butterfree's Sleep Powder. Return is a great STAB, landing loads of KO's in general, Earthquake is good because a lot of my team has Levitate, so no damage to me, and Protect is to scout around, and switching...The EVs are to outspeed things like Dragonite, Mamoswine and Togekiss that lerk around... and that is... all for my leads :)

Mamoswine (F) @ Ice Gem

Mamoswine is a real asset to my team, and is one of my counters to Lati_s running around in Doubles right now. Ice Gem + Ice Shard = a dent.
