I need some help and guidance on at least improving and tuning up my team for doubles on Pokémon champions since I do want to try the game soon with double battles. suggestions are welcome and I want to have a solid viable team, but I would prefer having a solid team that revolves around Infernape and Mega Altaria since they are my favorites. I want to at least win with my favorites, sadly I know Rillaboom isn't available so I can't have that Pokémon in my team for this. Regardless here's the team I have built up so far but I'm unsure about it since I am very new to team building outside of showdown. There's no specific synergy I am going for, this is all I can think of for a double battles team. Would appreciate the help.

The Lead

Held item: Focus Sash
Ability: Iron Fist

32 Atk 2 Sp. Def. 32 Spe

Held Item: Charizardite X

I'll test it later, but the fact that you have 3 megas is an issue bc you can only mega one of them. You did say you wanted Atlaria to stay so I'll work with that.
@Jsherves I know, you can replace Mega Charizard X or Mega Greninja. I threw a team together with Pokemon I like and I like all of these. I would of added instead Rillaboom and Ursaluna since I love those two more, but they aren't available in this format sadly in champions.

Maybe replace either Mega charizard x or mega greninja for Milotic, Dragapult, Garchomp, hisuian goodra, Kommo-o, Archaludon or something?

Issues with the team:
1. Too many megas
2. Lots of type overlap
3. No support at all
4. Extremely weak to Fairy types

These are my changes

Infernape

I switched Drain Punch for Close Combat, as Infernape isn't lasting long anyways and wants the extra power.

Mega Atlaria

I honestly doubt if this thing is viable, but you said it was one of your main stars so I'll keep it around. As for the changes I added the HP points into speed and switched Weather Ball for Heat Wave, as Weather Ball is extreme niche and situational on this team.

Mega Charizard and Greninja (Removed)

3 megas is way too many megas, so I removed both of these and replaced them with a different Fire and Dark type...

Incineroar

Even without Knock Off, Incineroar is still an incredible pokemon, and gives you some support which you really needed.

Incineroar @Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Points: HP: 32 / Atk: 2 / Sp.Def: 32
Careful Nature
-Fake Out
-Throat Chop
-Parting Shot
-Flare Blitz
Fake Out stops a threat for a turn, Throat Chop deals some damage and can stop Sound moves like Hyper Voice and Parting Shot, Parting Shot weakens a target and let's you pivot to an offensive mon, and Flare Blitz does big damage.

As for the other slot that's still empty, I added another support pokemon...

Whimsicott

Whimsicott is currently the ONLY Prankster pokemon with Tailwind, which is why I chose it for this team.

Whimsicott @Mental Herb
Ability: Prankster
Points: HP: 32 / Def: 2 / Spe: 32
Timid Nature
-Tailwind
-Moonblast
-Encore
-Taunt
Tailwind gives you speed control, Moonblast is your damage source, Encore punishes defensive play, and Taunt stops Status moves.

Palafin

No changes, I was happy with this pokemon.

Kingambit (Removed)

Kingambit was doing well, but I had to remove it for a actual Fairy resist, and this is the one I selected...

Aegislash

Aegislash is very bulky when in Sheild format, and also hits very hard in it Sword form.

Aegislash @Metal Coat
Ability: Stance Change
Points: HP: 32 / Atk: 2 / Sp.Atk: 32
Quiet Nature
-Flash Cannon
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-King's Shield
Flash Cannon and Shadow Ball and STAB moves, Shadow Sneak is priority, and King's Shield keeps Aegislash safe.
