Everyone's been posting their own RMTs about this so why not.
Incineroar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 164 Def / 76 SpD
Impish Nature
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Snarl
- U-Turn
The defense investment allows me to live a Surging Strikes from Rapid-Style
The special investment gives me a 43.8% chance to survive a Hydro Cannon from Primarina
I don't think the above will be too relevant and so I'll probably have to rethink the EVs.
Edit: New EVs:
Incineroar @ Figy Berry
Ability: Intimidate
252 HP/124 Def/96 Sp. Atk/36 SpD
Relaxed Nature
-Fake Out
-Burning Jealousy
-Parting Shot
-Snarl
The special defense is still for primarina, but since I don't have vest I have to run on calcs for Liquid Voice Hyper Voice since Hydro Cannon OHKOs me no matter what. And also the defense is for galarian zapdos at +1 because of defiant. I also found that burning jealousy is a nice move since it prevents setup and hits both enemies.

Explanations:
My team started with Garchomp and Togekiss. After a bit of playtesting I realized that Garchomp really struggled to do enough damage to KO most mons, and the double intimidate core of Landorus-T with Incineroar didn't help either. Thus, I used riolu with coaching to help counter that. Quick Guard was nice against prankster taunts and fake outs, follow me was really nice against Tapu Lele who often maxed into Starfall, and finally Copycat to hopefully get a priority move to revenge kill.
Also Fire Fang on Garchomp is for Celesteela.
Garchomp really struggled against faster mons, namely Tapu Koko and Dragapult, as well as common scarfed mons such as Non-sand rush Dracovish(not to mention sand rush vish), Tapu Bulu, and opposing Garchomps. And so I brought Tornadus on to the team for tailwind support. It's honestly just a better version of Whimsicott(which I'll probably use in-game if I can't get Tornadus). It's a pretty standard set other than protect to avoid fake outs.
Milotic was nice because of that dual intimidate core I mentioned earlier. Riolu could stand it's ground against just one, but both were still able to absolutely destroy Garchomp's damage output. And thus I brought Milotic with it's ability competiteve. Am considering icy wind for further speed support.
I know I'm a hypocrite for complaining about intimidate users and then bringing one, but since about 99% of the metagame are physical attackers, I really need incineroar to help with reducing damage. I'm considering a parting shot variant but I really enjoy the extra special bulk from incineroar, however, since my EVs are still pretty bad for Incineroar I'll likely end up running it.
Finally, my lategame really struggled since I had no good attacking mons in the back for the lategame, so I used Urshifu. It's a standard set that I wish I could run sash on with the return of the Tapus, but Riolu has it. On top of that, Life Orb was taken and I'm really not a fan of choice items, especially not in doubles, I ended up using Black Glasses since two of my moves are dark type.
