Also SR + Whirlwind deals damage, scatters teams, and breaks sashes so I am fine with no attacking moves.

 

[Giovanni]

If you say so sir. I am not in OU. I am in VGC, but I barely play PS. If anything, it is on the Nugget Bridge server.

 

[Giovanni]

This was just my advice. If it gets you into the 2,000's then why have advice. You have a perfect team then.

 

[Jiggly]

Well... Not perfect, but very good. Their is no perfect team... It's all about the trainer's skill.

 

[Giovanni]

I guess so because no main attacking moves on Skarmony makes it too vulnerable to attacks and those clutch situations.

 

[Jiggly]

I would rid of the whirlwind on the skarm, and give it brave bird.

So for my Doubles Team, I'm running
Choice Banded Adamant Galewings Talonflame with U-Turn, Roost, Flare Blitz, and Brave Bird
Jolly Rough Skin (Mega) Garchomp with Swords Dance, EQ, Dragon Claw, and Protect
Timid Sheer Force Black Sludge Nidoking with Ice beam, Earth Power, Sludge Bomb, and Fire Blast
Calm Prankster Leftovers Sableye with Will-O-Wisp, Foul Play, Taunt, and Recover
Timid Protean Life Orb Greninja with Ice Beam, Scald, Dark Pulse, and U-Turn
And Modest Trace (Mega) Gardevoir with Calm Mind, Heal Pulse, Psychic, and Dazzling Gleam.
Talofnfla,me is a Physical sweeper, Garchomp is a Physical sweeper, Nidoking is a Special Sweeper, Sableye is a special Wall, Gardevoir is a mixed wall(mostly special), and Greninja is a special sweeper

 

[Giovanni]

Switch fire blast for flamethrower . More accuracy, but less power is the trade-off. It does prevent some hax on your side. Sableeye gets recover, that is cool, but I think confuse ray would be better on it. Get rid of ice beam on nidoking and put protect on it to avoid super effective damage while it is on the field with Garchomp. If you are giving Talonflame a choice band then get rid of roost. You don't want to waste a turn switching out into a different pokemon. You don't have many options with switching the move, so I recommend switching the choice band for a sharp beak, so you can keep roost.

 

[Jiggly]

I disagree with dead souls about fireblast, I think you should keep it because it has 85% accuracy, which is much greater than its brethren (hydro pump, gunk shot, Thunder, etc.). But I do think getting rid of the band on talon flame is wise. Also, for doubles, talon should have tailwind instead of U-turn, to give your team the speed boost it needs (especially the mega garchomp).

 

[Giovanni]

85% accuracy will screw you over sometimes in critical situations.

Usually to copy a mega or somone with set ups.

 

[~Digital_Convoy~]

If Slurpuff is supposed to be a physical sweeper, why are you running flamethrower?
And also, I wouldn't run W.O.W and Confuse ray on rotom. If it were a para-fuse combo it'd be different.

 

[~Digital_Convoy~]

Switch u turn for tailwind. Your team could use the speed, but don't put choice band on talonflame. It seems good but you don't have options

 

[suigetsu2951]

choice band Tflame is only for finishing off the team or being a general nuiscance (gastrodon is 4x weak to grass and t flame is 4x resistant to grass), fly is on there because of last minute focus sashed opponents and because if worse comes to worse, id rather BB a poke than suicide tailwind (team doesnt need speed, its all speed and priority)

Switch u turn for tailwind. Your team could use the speed, but don't put choice band on talonflame. It seems good but you don't have options

 

[Jiggly]

I would rid of ice shard on the cloyster, and replace it with rapid spin, for when you are in times of need...

U want to sell ur manectric if u still have it?

 

[MrBR]

Don't make a team with too many glass cannons or stall teams will eat you alive

 

[Giovanni]

I might put my team on here. I had some inspiration for my new team.

 

[mr mullo]

Hell I bought my team off if this site

 

[Havoc230]

I'm new and I've never battled competatively but I'm pretty old school and I've been addicted to crystal for quite some time (look up liquid crystal for those not familiar with the hack) but I believe the perfect gen 2 team is gengar, poliwrath, jynx, ampharos, gligar, and tyranitaur, tell me what you think
