Battle Tower Doubles Team

[surfer treecko]

This is a doubles team for the HG/SS Battle Tower, which revolves around hail. I'm not the best at planning movesets, but I'm welcome to any critisisms.

Focus Blast's accuracy is not very good so the Tower's hax will get you at times. Because of the suggestion on Froslass and the fact that you want to get your weather, I suggest removing the Spe EV's and remove the Choice Scarf. Say you go up against a Tyranitar. Because it is slower, it gets up its weather, not yours.

You should probably have the hold item a Choice Scarf because what if you run into an Alakazam? It is faster than you but you can trick your Choice Scarf.

Hasty/Naive
252 Spe/200 Att/52 SpA

Mamoswine should be physical, even on a hail team since its SpA is rubbish. I suggest Ice Fang over Blizzard.

Stealth Rock is not very good in the Tower and Hypnosis' accuracy is crap so that will come to haunt you.

And that's it. Please rate and give constructive critisism.

Comments in bold. I didn't change anything, I just gave some suggestions.

I guess I'll take the Choice Scarf off Abomnasnow, as a Tyranitar that managed to set up sandstorm could probably wreck my team. I might consider a mixed set.

Froslass I'm not so sure about, as I would have thought it would be fast enough as it is. Aside from Alakazam, are there any pokemon that it desperately needs to outspeed?

After looking at Mamoswine's base Special Attack, I agree that Blizzard is a pretty bad choice. However, I don't really like Ice Fang as it isn't that much stronger then Ice Shard. Maybe I could use Rock Slide instead?

I'm not actually sure if I want Bronzong on my team at all, since it was made for something different. Maybe I should go for something else, like Ice Body Walrein?

for Bronzong SR is next to useless id say use this set
Bronzong@Light Clay
-Gyro Ball/Iron Head
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Payback
use Bronzong as a teammate with Abomasnow. Set up the screens to help your frailer Froslass and Mamoswine

^ Then why do you Trick your Scarf? A tricker is supposed to be a lead.
