There's a good amount of "change many things at once" Pet Mods like G-Luke's Ideal World, but what they (and other Pet Mods) have in common is that they are Singles-central and nothing to do with Doubles.
So what if there is a "change many things at once" Doubles-based Pet Mod? Comes Generation SD (Special Doubles), where the goal is to buff multiple Pokemon and allows even more variety and strategy in Doubles while also having new counters to Terrains (which is only countered by another Terrain Surge) and Intimidate (which Landorus-T and Incineroar plagued it with this Ability).
In other words, the main goal is to make Doubles OU more varied and have more viable Pokemon to make Doubles more diverse, not just in term of Pokemon, but also Moves and Abilities.
But hold on, what Generation SD is supposed to be other than that? To not make it just "change many things at once for the Doubles format", there are some things that I will add and that the other "change many things to make them viable" Pet Mods usually didn't, though they are not all added in at once, just by a step by step process.
- Multiple Pokemon will have stats buffed, as well as additional Moves, and also Abilities that will replace the ones that worked not well at all on the Pokemon in question.
- To pay tribute for AquaticPanic's Alolan Forms (The Mod), there will also be multiple new Regional Forms, not just Alolan Forms. Multiple Pokemon, mostly those that aren't Gen 1, will have a new Regional Form based on the following Regions; Kantonian, Johtonian, Hoennese, Sinnohese, Unovian, Kalosian and of course Alolan. Pokemon cannot have a form from the region they originated in (so no alternate Machop in Kanto for example). Making these forms can be used to fill these gaps.
- Types based of concepts of Typing: The Mod are also in, with the four being Light (mine, aka the Elemental version), Sound (DatHeatmor), Food (Tuthur1) and Blood (Pika Xreme).
- Encourage usage of Fire/Water/Grass Pledge (hit multiple foes? Increased BP?) and other moves and Abilities that are specifically designed for Doubles.
- Change the "Redundant Ability" of Mega Evolution that have one. What do I mean by "Redundant Ability" is the Ability the Mega Evolution have but that the base form also have it. This is to avoid the Mega Evolution of Pokemon that have one to be "same Pokemon but with better stats" instead of a different playstyle. Speaking of Mega Evolutions...
- New 16 Mega Evos and one surprise form in the form of Enraged Guzzlord! The new Mega Evolutions and Enraged Guzzlord are either enhancement to their normal selves, or even give a stat distribution you would not expect. The list of Pokemon that can Mega Evolve here are Electivire, Magmortar, Aurorus, Tyrantrum, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Forretress, Goodra, Rhyperior, Florges, Chesnaught, Delphox, Vanilluxe, Clawitzer, Dhelmise, Golisopod, Tsareena, Mudsdale and Crabominable.
- Why no new Gen 1 and Gen 3 Megas? This is because I feel like there is enough Gen 1 and Gen 3 Megas when you compare it to other Gens in term of numbers. However, if you wanted me to make some new Megas for Gen 1 and Gen 3 (though preferably only Pokemon with BST over 500), then I'm on it.
Nope. If the Pokemon if banned does to excessive BST (even those who aren't that good in Ubers such as Palkia), the stats cannot be decreased in any fashion. Black Kyurem and Unbound Hoopa are still allowed in DOU for reasons they are still allowed in OU and doesn't need such unwanted nerf.
In fact, directly nerf any banned Pokemon is out of question. We should instead focus on what didn't worked well in DOU (be it barely or not at all) and fix them to make them more usable. Same goes for banned moves, Abilities and items. Indirect nerfs (presence of more viable counters) might eventually unban one banned Pokemon or two though.
Will there be Custom Moves/Abilities/Items/Forms?
We should focus on giving existing Moves to Pokemon that really needs it (as long as it also make sense flavor-wise), although new Regional Forms are okay as long as they have potentials for DOU (and not be overpowered on practice, though nerfing via Stat redistribution or Ability redistribution or move removal can be done to revert the damage), and Custom Moves/Abilities/Items are welcome just as long as it will help more than one Pokemon (unless if it is supposed to be Signature, though not too many at once) and preferably as clones of existing moves/abilities/items.
Mega Evolution is more of a hot topic, as we prioritize buffing the stats if the Pokemon is too weak to compete in DOU, and the limit would be 570 BST. They would be allowed if they still perform poorly in DOU despite high BST such as Goodra. That said, Mega Evolution can be given if it means a different playstyle. Custom Z-Moves is a no-no in general as I found them far too situational, but since Kommo-o's Clangorous Soulblaze worked well for Kommo-o in DOU, it can work if making a Mega Evolution would be too much.
What is the maximum BST when it comes to buffing a Pokémon's stats?
There is no strict limit, but I would not try to exceed 570 BST. This is not the strict maximum, but I would not allow something like over 600 BST unless if it is a new Mega Evolution for a Pokémon with a 500-600 BST. Even so, be careful when doing the latter. Also, try not to go overboard by giving a stat too high by Doubles OU standard and have no significant drawbacks to stop them (i.e. a 170 Special Attack without significant drawback or a Special Defense of 170 with high HP) and avoid excessive min-maxing is highly discouraged on Pokémon with already good Typing combination.
Discussion Rules
When making discussion, please try to stay civil and not inflict dramas. I also recommend to not have a negative attitude when giving criticisms to this Pet Mod or others' idea, and I may or may not accept your ideas depended on how it would help one Pokémon or two, based on your behavior (although not a major factor anyways) and if it is a buffed Pokémon, a new Regional Form or a new Mega, how would it help the Pokémon in question. Having calcs and people who liked your idea can increase your chance to have your suggestions to be accepted. All Smogon Global rules also applies to this Pet Mod like all Pet Mods, so don't you think you could break them here!

New Moves and Ability Distribution
Pokemon with STAB are listed first before a break ( | ), unless the move in question is a Status move. Smeargle can obviously learn all these moves via Sketch. Alolan forms can also have the same move from their counterpart unless otherwise noted.

The distribution for Food and especially Blood in term of moves isn't much, however I will accept imputs from others as long as two big rules are followed;
All suggestions, including new Moves/Abilities/Items/Forms (including Megas and Regional Forms) must have at least a decent flavorful and/or competitive reason to be applied, and also to take Doubles OU into account, not singles, regular OU.
And yes, there is a thing as a banlist, though this is because we will not allow direct Uber-nerfing, but there is potential unbans if there are enough new threats or the banned Pokemon got indirectly nerfed (i.e. Ability nerf) that allows them to be used in Generation SD (though this is not guaranteed).
Generation SD Banlist
- Doubles OU Clauses will also applies to this Pet Mod. See here for details.
- Last Two Pokémon Clause: If either team have two or one remaining Pokémon, the following moves will fail; Self-Destruct, Explosion, Supernova, Final Gambit, Memento, Perish Song and Destiny Bond.
- Banned: All Pokémon already banned from Doubles OU.
- Unbanned: None yet.
- Regardless of what you buff, luck-based Abilities (Moody does to Evasionness) and Moves are not allowed to give. A Pokémon is not truly buffed if it wins by luck.
