Could you finish my doubles Zeraora team!

I know I post teams a lot, but this one works so well! I think it could be even better, but I need some help! Here is my team:

Zeraora:

Item: Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Adamant Nature

  • Hone Claws
  • Plasma Fists
  • Close Combat
  • Knock Off

The core of my team, and only has one mission: to sweep.

Darkrai:

Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Bad Dreams
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/4 HP/252 Spe
Timid Nature

  • Dark Void
  • Nasty Plot
  • Dark Pulse
  • Sludge Bomb

The main purpose of this Pokemon is to allow Zeraora to set up. With a little luck, Darkrai can have a chance to set up a Nasty Plot and sweep with Zeraora!

Togekiss:

Item: Bright Powder
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/104 Spe/152 Sp. Def
Calm Nature

  • Follow Me
  • Air Slash
  • Thunder Wave
  • Defog

Togekiss is for helping Zeraora sweep. Follow Me is to either rack up stat boosts or giving Zeraora a chance for another KO. Air Slash and Thunder Wave is for that paraflinch combo, for more free turns. Defog is to remove entry hazards.

Lunala:

Item: Lunalium Z
Ability: Shadow Shield
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Timid Nature

  • Calm Mind
  • Moongeist Beam
  • Psyshock
  • Focus Blast

This Lunala’s purpose is mainly to counter Primal Groudon with a Menacing Moonraze Malestrom.

Could you please help me with the rest? Thanks!

What kind of doubles? VGC, Battle Spot, OU, or something else?
by
I think Ubers.
by
That Zeraora should have Bulk Up.
by
Dark void is bad because it's inaccurate, and Darkrai isn't strong enough to take hits when dark void misses. Paraflinching is bad in doubles because air slash can only make one of the opponents flinch.
by
The poipole, you are so right. Will give zeraora bulk up right now. As for sumwun, I used dark void because it hits both pokemon, and there is a good chance one will hit. Togekiss can help cripple opposing choice scarf users, like xerneas and Air Slash is also just STAB, with the added benefit of paraflinching.
by
sumwun, you are also partly right.
by
Before giving you any additional advice, have you tried using this team in 3-4 battles already?
by
Yes, I have.
by
Can I see just 1 replay of a battle involving this team? I'm especially curious about how your Darkrai's dark void strategy works.
by
How do you do that?
by
After finishing a battle, you need to not exit the battle. There should be a button saying "upload/share replay". Click or tap the button. After a few seconds, you should get a pop-up with a link. Copy-paste the link wherever you want to share the replay.

For ur 6th Pokemon use a focus sash deoxys-s with spikes stealth rock and any two other moves. This will hit Pokemon that switch in

Hi I’m back, went to the beach for awhile and had no WiFi. Sorry for the delay
by
Will upload video
by
I still don't know how to actually upload it onto pokemon db.
by
Just copy the URL and paste it into a comment.
by
Oh, Will do it after school. yup, I am in school right now
by
I was about to post it, but darkrai´s dark void is banned. for some reason
by
From now on, make sure your team is legal before posting it, okay?
by
This team was tested on the battle spot. I will upload a video for this team, but the darkrai will have hypnosis instead of dark void.

I still think hypnosis Darkrai is too unreliable because, during each turn, both your opponents can attack Darkrai while Darkrai can only put one of them to sleep. Just use a Yveltal. There's no good reason to use Togekiss over Smeargle when Smeargle can learn all of Togekiss's moves in addition to fake out and spore. And why would you use Lopunny when Arceus does its job so much better?
by
I was giving you an idea of what dark void darkrai would be like. In case you haven’t noticed, this team is for DS. I want to use mega loppunny because of fake out and high speed.
by
I thought you said it was for Doubles Uber, and dark void is banned in that format. As for the fast fake out user, you should simply replace Zeraora's hone claws with fake out and replace Lopunny with something completely different.
by
As I said, this is a DS team. I once had a fake-out zeraora, and it worked terribly. Plus, the whole purpose of this team is to let zeraora set up, then sweep.
by
I used showdown as a test.
by
If fake out Zeraora was bad, then how can you expect fake out Lopunny to be better?

Best answer

I think you would have mega pokemon so i make this.

Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Agility
- Fire Punch
- High Jump Kick

In your team needs bulky steel type pokemon so here is what i think can be good.
Stakataka @ Eviolite
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Gyro Ball
- Iron Head

Hopefully these pokemons help you :)

Ability Mega Loppuny? Really? I mean, you do you I guess.

Btw, why does Stakata have the Eviolite? Stakata can’t evolve.
by
Thank you so much! Will consider. (Not eviolite stakataka tho :) )
by
sscholer if you’re going to consider using his Mega Loppuny, shouldn’t you BA? It isn’t like anyone else is going to answer it anyways LMAO.
by
Okay, Am going to.
I need a sixth Pokemon, tho.
by
Agility Mega Lopunny is not worth using, since its speed stat is already so high. I would reccomend fake out/return/hjk/ice punch
by
I might consider using despacito 2s set.
