Double Battle Team (First Team)

[CRUSH10055]

I've recently made a Double Battle team for Nintendo WiFi and Nintendo's Official Tournaments. This is my first time so it might suck. Since they're all around level 20-30 except Suicune and Zapdos so you may also suggest me for EV's. I can EV erase using barries.

Toxicorak
Item: Focus Sash / Black Sludge
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
- Fake Out
- Sucker Punch
- Cross Chop / Brick Break
- Taunt / Protect

Suicune
Item: Lum Berry
Nature: Calm
EV's: 252 HP / 4 Defense / 252 Sp. Defense
- Surf
- Ice Beam / Icy Wind
- Calm Mind
- Protect

These two are my lead. Toxicorak uses Fake Out to flinch opponent's lead and Suicune uses Icy Wind to lower opponent's Speed. After that, Suicune will recover Toxicorak's HP with Surf + Dry Skin combo.
Tick Room: For Trick Room combo, using Taunt on Bronzong/Dusknoir should prevent from my Pokemon being slow. However, Fake Out fails.

Dusknoir
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EV's: 252 HP / 4 Attack / 252 Defense
- Shadow Sneak
- Fire Punch
- Rock Slide
- Protect

This guy is my Physical Wall. Shadow Sneak should OHKO/2HKO Shedinja. Dusknoir has max stats in HP and Defense so it should deal with most Physical attacks.

Metagross
Item: Occa Berry / Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Speed
- Explosion / Trick
- Meteor Mash / Bullet Punch
- Rock slide / Earthquake
- Ice Punch

This guy is either my Mr. Tick or Mr. Explosion.
Explosion: With Dusknoir/Protect combo, it should OHKO most unprotected Pokemon.
Tirck: Trick will give opponent Choice Scarf so opponent's Pokemon will be stuck with one attack.

Salamence
Item: Yache Berry
Nature: Modest
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed
- Hydro Pump
- Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse
- Heat Wave / Flamethrower
- Protect

Salamence is my Special Sweeper. Draco Meteor should OHKO non-Wall Pokemon and Heat Wave attacks both opponent's Pokemon. Hydro Pump is there for Rock/Fire/Ground type Pokemon.

Shedinja
Item: Focus Sash
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
EV's: 255 Attack / 255 Speed
- Shadow Sneak
- X-scissor
- Protect
- Swagger

Shedinja? This Pokemon is common in VGC so I was think of using it. I know more than two Pokemon can't hold same items so when using him, I won't be using Toxicorak and Suicune combo. He's not a good Pokemon? I will look for replacement.

Again, this is my first team so it sucks. However, I do have some replacements. Please rate my Double Battle team.

PS: they're all going to be level 50. They can't be level 51 or higher.

It looks fine to me. Some people might see changes that can be made in that team. You can really pull off a lot with Shedinja.

if you want to use Dusknoir i suggest this moveset:
-Earthquake
-Shadow Sneak
-Pain Split
-Will-O-Wisp
WOW is to cripple physical attackers, PS is for some HP recovery, SS is your STAB priority move and EQ is a filler.

Wow! Shedinja can really sweep. Sorry, but I'm thinking of taking him out of my team.

Thanks but I've already IV bred Duskull without Pain Split so I apologize. I've changed Fire Punch with Will-O-wisp to cripple the physical sweeper.

Then re-breed for Pain Split. Either that or wait for HGSS and tutor it. Regardless, Dusknoir needs Pain Split. As for your set, I'm not sure about double battles, but it'd play quite similarly to a single battle set I assume.

Dusknoir @Leftovers
Impish, 252 HP/44 Atk/212 Def
- Pain Split
- Will-o-wisp
- Shadow Sneak/Shadow Punch
- Fire Punch

Fire Punch is for Scizor, since with these EVs it OHKOs. Shadow Sneak is for priority, but Shadow Punch is stronger and never misses, so choose one or the other really.
