VGC is the official format of competitive Pokemon battles by Nintendo.
In general, the battles are double battles and each player brings 6 Pokemon in level 50 but only picks 4 of them in the team preview. There is a list of Pokemon banned from playing which includes almost every legendary Pokemon.
Doubles OU is the unofficial double format created by a fan site (which you probably know about) and can be played in casual battles with friends or in an online simulator.
It is designed to be like VGC with some changes:
1) 6 vs 6 instead of 4 vs 4
2) Pokemon default level 100 instead of level 50
3) You can use the same item on more than 1 Pokemon)
4) OHKO Clause (you cannot use moves like Sheer Cold)
5) Evasion Clause
6) Soul Dew Clause
7) Moody Clause
8) The move Dark Void is banned from play
9) The following Pokemon are banned from play
What do you think about Double OU comparing to VGC? Have you ever tried to play it?
