Rate my Doubles team for Pokémon Champions (Set M-A) (For double battles)

Question

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

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?

Answer 1

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.

Alright thanks, but I got to ask, if Rillaboom and Ursaluna would be available, can I use them instead in this team? Becasuse I like those two a lot, especially rillaboom.

also, why did you call it altar*pe bro? Like that was out of pocket holy god. why not like.. Idk wukong aresenal or something?

---

It's the first half Altaria, then Ape for Infernape, although I do see how you see it now. Also if Rilaboom was there, you could definitely use it over Incineroar.

---

h*ll yeah I love rillaboom literally one of my personal favorite starters definently over incineroar. if only rillaboom was here. also ill use kingambit over aegislash. Kingambit has coverage and is the best in doubles

---

Maybe make Gambit more specially defensive if your gonna keep it, otherwise Mega Floette will bulldoze your whole team.

---

Metal coat but only one steel move on Aegislash?

---

I added Aegislash to this team to deal with Fairy types, so that's why it has a Metal Coat. Although it doesn't seem to matter due to the OP wanting to keep Kingambit.
