Stock pile to make Pelipper really bulky, roost to keep it in the game longer, tail wind for another set up to let my team go first or protect to stall, Hydro pump or Air slash for STAB and hopefully and flinch if I use Air slash.

What screams TRICK ROOM(!!!) in this team? The base speed for everything except Gweezing(same stat) Eelektross(lower) and Farigiraf(duh) is still faster than Sylveon, a regular Tailwind enthusiast. My idea is to swap the eel for Peliper to make this a more rain team, slap incin or rilla (for weezing) and use Sitrus berry on Farigiraf to use as a tr stopper

---

okok. I see what your sayin. I'll try it out. Thanks

---

not a doubles player, but you have almost no spread moves (only notable source of spread damage being Hyper Voice and Surf). Ludicolo also doesn't get priority with Grassy Glide; Grassy Terrain has to be active, so Rillaboom is the prime abuser of it. I agree with Ferrari; changing it into a Rain team would make it much better while having to replace/remove few Pokemon

---

Should I switch out Slither Wing and Farigiraf? I was thinking switch out Slither Wing to Gogoat. I have a tanky set for Gogoat (I'll edit above so you can see) and maybe Farigiraf to Arboliva so I have another Pokemon to set up grassy terrain with Arbolivas seed sower ( Again I'll edit above to show you).

---

You forgot to remove weezing set, rilla knows fake out, that peliper set is awful, and all the other mons are just bad but also with sets that are illegal in 138 countries

---

pretty sure they're banned in more than 138 countries but that's besides the point.
Javes, what I need you to do is to check out the Doubles Viability Rankings (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-doubles-ou-viability-rankings.3710905/) and Sample Teams (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/doubles-ou-sample-teams.3710876/) Understanding the metagame more (especially having a basic understanding of what Pokemon are good and bad) makes it much easier to build better teams.
If you do not do this, you will have a lot of "bad" teams that you can improve upon just by reading the rankings.

---

Ok. Thanks for the advice. While checking the Viability ranking I started to see a lot of problems with my team already. I'm gonna do some research then edit my team to make it more dependable and stronger than before. Thanks again for the help

for future reference, in Pokemon Showdown, if you select a format, you can scroll to the bottom, and there will be a bunch of resources for reference, including viability rankings, sample teams, metagame discussions and more. This helps ease teambuilding, especially if it's a new format.
