Congratulations to ratpacker for winning last week
Edit: it was actually a tie, i did the !pick command in ps and it landed on ratpacker
(hopefully this week it wont take 3 weeks for more than one team to be posted /lh)
This week's pokemon is Raging Bolt! Raging Bolt is the paradox forme of Raikou, and it has decent well rounded stats, a good movepool and the signature move Thunderclap (its electric sucker punch. its just electric special sucker punch). It's movepool enables it to run anything from a bulky Calm Mind set to a supportive set with Breaking Swipe and Snarl, or just a Life Orb 3 attacks set.

Raging Balance
The team has an FGW core to support itself defensively, 3 setups with rage powder, spore, intimidate and fake out support. To finish, a flutter mane that seems to be a good answer to this meta with such strong new dragons.

The DOU Teambuilding competition is back!
As they were the only one who submitted a team, Staraptor wins by default!
This weeks pokemon is mew! Previously a titan of DOU, mew has fallen off considerably this generation due to losing some of the moves that made it such a staple. But that hasn't stopped it from seeing some success in OSDT, being primarily used a support pokemon with snarl, will-o-wisp and coaching.

Excited for this!
Alright so when I started building this team I was looking for something mew could do uniquely. I saw the willowisp and coaching but honestly I don't see a ton of value in that currently. I like getting in there fast and hard and doing damage.
Mew @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Synchronize
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Snarl
- Icy Wind
- Tailwind
- Trick
I took a little singles inspiration here with trick scarf but as I wrote above I wanted to do something with this mew that only they can do. Snarl/IcyWind/Tailwind is a great combination of support moves that only suicune with base 85 spe is otherwise capable of, add trick and its unique. When I give it a scarf I can get a fast icy wind off or snarl and it can catch a lot of people off guard. Even after tricking away your scarf it still is very valuable. An example of a sneaky icywind's impact is here: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesou-2115859355 ;)
Then I felt the biggest common danger to my mew is Incineroar. I really enjoy using Arc-H as an incin counter bc with CB you can outspeed/kill with rock head and that can discourage opponents from leading incin so it was added. Espeed can be nice occasionally to clean up but hes a threat.
I felt super weak to lando-i with this pair, even with icy wind, so next up was Ogerpon-Wellspring. Not much to say about this thing besides its cracked and stupid and game freaked it.
I figured next to complete this FWG core I was building I should get a strong grass that could also shore up my trick room matchup and no hoot and holler needed added Amoonguss.
Next up I felt like I needed some special damage and terrain control + I felt pretty weak to psyspam so I decided on Indeedee-M with Expanding Force and Imprison. I liked protect more over trick room but those moves can be swapped out as preference goes.
Finally I felt like I needed to just boom shit. In my opinion Lando-I is the best/most splashable mon in the format so I threw it on here. I went fast lando over bulky because I wanted to boom more stuff.
The replays show the goal of the team. Mew sits and terrorizes opponents plans with trick/speed control. Its like 4-2 in testing and I can't complain
