Meh. Double Battles

[Chief Zackrai]

So yeah... I've been thinking for a while now, and for some unknown reason, I've made a double battle team!


Team One
Slaking
N: Adamant
Ability: Truant
Item: Muscle Band
Hammer Arm
Substitute
Giga Impact
Shadow Claw

Drifblim
N: Timid
Ability: Aftermath
Item: Scope Lens
Skill Swap
Baton Pass
Shadow Ball
Aerial Ace

Blissey
N: Bold
Ability: Serene Grace
Item: Leftovers
Sing
Double-Edge
Seismic Toss
Light Screen

Now, Most of you are probably thinking "You're going to have two three-pokkemon teams?" Yes, I am, but only because the other team had three pokemon in it to begin with. I start with Slaking and Drifblim. Drifblim uses Skill Swap, then it either dies due to its lack of defensive stats, or it uses Baton Pass the next turn. Either way, I send out Blissey to accompany my Slaking for a pretty decent wall, I think.

Team Two
Claydol
N: Modest
Ability: Levitate
Item: Life Orb
Explosion
Rapid Spin
Earth Power
Shadow Ball

Poliwrath
N: Adamant
Ability: Damp
Item: King's Rock
Dynamic Punch
Ice Punch
Waterfall
Brick Break

Machamp
N: Adamant
Ability: No Guard
Item: Expert Belt
Stone Edge
Dynamic Punch
Fire Punch
Thunderpunch

I use Claydol to Spin, then commit Suicide when Necessary, or when he's close to no Hp left. Because Poilwrath has Damp, he takes no damage form the Explosion. I send out Machamp with no guard, then sit there and kill anything still standing with dual Dynamic Punches. And if that doesn't work, then I lose.

Um, iirc, Damp prevents Selfdestruct and explosion from being used at all, rather than simply protecting the Pokemon with the Damp ability. I could be wrong, though.

...And, uh. I dunno about this. It all seems very hastily put together and could easily be decimated by a standard team. There's no major 2v2 competition though, so idk where you'd find people to fight.

 

[Chief Zackrai]

yeah, you're right about damp...and it's not hastily put together.. just mostly not completely thought out. I springboarded the thing with Slaking and Drifblim off of something I saw on youtube with Regigigas. Blissey was an afterthought, and I was mislead by the affect of Damp. I think it might have potential if it is thought out a little further, which I could use help with.

no guard does not affect the partner. 'twas a common misconception in early DP which caused machamp to temporarily be banned from doubles in some communities, but.
