Team Building Help

[fidget2000]

Hi Everyone!

As you can see from the thread title, I am in need for some team building help. I am and avid TCG player and am decent at singles in the VG, but I lack the knowledge and skill to be a good doubles VGC player. I know the basics, but I'm having trouble building the actual team that works.

I was thinking about using a Trick-Room team. Stuff I want to include would be Cresselia, Conkeldurr, and Sylveon. With that frame work, any help from you guys would be much appreciated!

Thank You!

A pretty decent start.

A few basic things to add would be Bisharp, it's mid speed is still useful in Trick Room and threatens the popular Mega Metagross and Fairy types, while doing great damage in general. Heatran is another Steel, different secondary typing but far bulkier. Spread from Heat Wave puts on heavy pressure alongside Hyper Voice from Sylveon.

Trick Room needs a 'fast-mode' Poke to keep up when the Room isn't in effect. Good choices for this are Scarf Landorus-T, Talonflame, Thundurus-I or Terrakion, depending on what you're looking for. Landorus offers a fast, strong Intimidate user with spread, Talonflame is a great revenge killer, while Terrakion is best blowing up single targets and hitting off fast flinches with Rock Slide. Thundurus allows for a Prankster Taunt which is useful to prevent opposing status, also it's Thunder Wave is great in games where you can't expect to set up Trick Room safely. His single target damage is quite strong as well.

As for the Mega, I find it hard to pick any of the slow ones because they're usually outclassed by general Megas and struggle to deal more damage than they would be taking. A bulky Kangaskhan or Metagross spread would work nicely here, both already are strong attackers thanks to their Abilities. As for Metagross you have two strong Pokes that hate on Dark types so it may be the better option.

These are only a few possible options. Hopefully some of this helped you decide.
