This team is quite competitive, and has gotten me to a ladder rating of 1111 currently. I would love to hear some feedback as to how I could improve the movesets, though I'd rather not switch the Pokemon.
Cliff (Lycanroc-Dusk) (F) @ Wide Lens
Ability: Tough Claws
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Accelerock
- Drill Run
- Iron Head
- Play Rough
Cliff is my anti-Dragon, Steel and Fairy coverage, with Accelerock as a counter to Trick Room. She's the weakest member of the team on paper, but has proven to be a reliable threat time and time again. My only worry for her is Walking Wake, hence Play Rough. The Wide Lens is also great for Drill Run's accuracy.
Saber (Chien-Pao) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Spinner
- Aerial Ace
- Crunch
- Sacred Sword
Saber is one of my two sweepers. Ice Spinner is a good counter for Psychic Seed Indeedee, Sacred Sword is good coverage against Chi-Yu and another Chien-Pao, and Aerial Ace and Crunch provide two powerful moves that are excellent against Annihilape and other sweepers. Saber is the second-oldest member of the team.
Curse (Zoroark-Hisui) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Illusion
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bitter Malice
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Sludge Bomb
One of the two new members of the team, Curse is useful for two things: her Typing, and her extremely high offensive power. Admittedly, she's a bit fragile, but this moveset has served me well so far. I would appreciate alternative moves to provide better coverage.
Hugs (Dragonite) (M) @ Yache Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Thunder Punch
- Waterfall
- Dragon Claw
Finally, we have Hugs the Dragonite. A stalwart member of the team with an excellent movepool, Hugs is the teammate I need the most advice for. I'm unused to playing with Dragonites, and thus lack the ability to fully capitalize on their wide moveset. Any advice for Hugs would be appreciated.
That's my 2v2 Doubles team! Any and all advice is gladly welcomed, so if you have any tips, feel free to leave them below!
