Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a battle spot doubles team, and could use a hand tuning the team. Currently, using Kingambit and Farigaraf in trick room has had a lot of success. Looking for help finding any weaknesses I could address, thanks!
Kingambit @ Lum Berry
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Iron Head
- Kowtow Cleave
- Protect
- Tera Blast
I chose to try out Kingambit, mainly looking to have a good defiant pokemon. I chose to make it a bulky set, trying to get the boost off the opponents intimidate. I chose to make this mon tera fire, in order to better deal with some of the dark/steel weaknesses.
Roaring Moon @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Dragon Claw
- Crunch
- Acrobatics
I tried to just make a standard Roaring Moon set here. I wanted to use the booster energy along side acrobatics to try and put out a lot of damage. I also made is tera flying to make the acrobatics pack more of a punch.
Talonflame @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Tailwind
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Taunt
Here I wanted a good tailwind setter, one that could hit a little harder than murkrow. Gale wings tailwind alongside max speed Brute Bonnet makes for a fast and easy spore. I chose brave bird and flare blitz as my stab moves, and taunt for more support when needed.
Farigiraf @ Life Orb
Ability: Armor Tail
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Dazzling Gleam
- Trick Room
- Imprison
For Farigiraf, I wanted to have a bulky special attacker. This mon can also set the trick room up to make Kingambit more of a threat, as well as stopping priority with the armor tail ability. I gave it Imprison as to also help stop other trick room setters when I bring the faster side of this team. Every other Farigiraf I've seen so far run the same attacking moves as this one, so it also helps shut down that pokemon.
Brute Bonnet @ Focus Sash
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Sucker Punch
- Rage Powder
- Spore
Max speed Brute Bonnet can get spore off very efficiently, allowing for a much easier game. I brought close combat and sucker punch for good damage, and rage powder for when I need to help keep another pokemon alive an extra turn or so.
Gyarados @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
I have this Gyarados mainly just for it's coverage as well as having intimidate. I like it for it's ability to take fighting moves very well, allowing a safer switch in to keep my Kingambit around for later. I think I would like for this set to be made bulkier that what I am currently running.
