VGC Doubles Team
After a lot more testing with the last team of typhlosion, gengar, hydreigon, electivire, vaporeon and salamence i found it to be very weak to some of the more competive teams out there so heres my new and updated one
overview
;237; ;478; ;376; ;134; ;257; ;445;
;237;
Hitmontop (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Mach Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Protect
since fakeout users are in this year i've gone for one of the common ones Hitmontop since most of it's moves are pirority i decided to invest in it's attack and SP defence (although hp might a be better investment). with Technician mach punch and fake out get a power boost, sucker punch is for those annoying psychic types who can wipe hitmon out.
;478;
Froslass (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Taunt
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
gengar is gone in favour of Froslass since she is the same speed as gengar and that she has acess to ice beam which enables her to kill dragons such as latios, chomp, and opposite chomps, thunderbolt is there for rain teams and taunt is there to stop trick room (especially) and tailwind being used which poses a huge threat to blaziken when it's being boosted
;376;
Metagross @ Air Balloon
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
metagross is a counter to sand teams with chomp as it floats enabling chomp to get a quick EQ while meta bullet punches/Meteor Mashes with out fear of being hit by a friendly but once the balloon s gone protect can be used to keep it alive
;134;
Vaporeon (M)
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Scald
- Toxic
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
Vaporeon stays for the moment since it's a realiable defender and attacker but overall it doesn't quite fit in the team.

Blaziken (M) @ BrightPowder
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Hi Jump Kick
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- Protect
i know speed boost blaziken is classed as an uber but it isn't banned from the VGC as it's a legit ability. protect is so that blaze can get one boost in before attacking and brightpowder (would of gone for life orb but chomp ahd already taken it) reduces the chance of certain moves hitting terefore increasing the survival and the chance of sweeping. Hi Jump Kick is one of blazes riskier moves sinc ethat if an opponent uses protect blaze loses alot of damage leaving it open to pirority moves such as mach punch, bullet punch and the like

Garchomp (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Protect
mence has been replaced by Chop since it brings some much needed power and resistance to this team. it does a great with most mon on my team since it can attack (most of the time) without worry of hitting it's team mates
So guys whats your opinion on this team say what you feel
