Yazzel, you can't breed on XD so how should his salamence be able to use dragon dance?!

When typing a Double Battle team, put your Pokémon that should be in a pair next to each other. For instance, put Dusclops directly below Slaking.

Yazzel, strategies that work in 1 vs. 1 don’t always work in 2 vs. 2. DD Salamence isn’t so great especially when both opponents can target Salamence.

Starmie doesn’t really make a good pair with anything except a Rain Dancer. Try Ludicolo.

Give Starmie Rain Dance over Recover or Ice Beam, and Thunder over Thunderbolt, then use the following Ludicolo:

Ludicolo @some item you haven’t use, probably Scope Lens
Modest
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 160 HP/ 96 Spd/ 252 SAtk
-Fake Out
-Surf/Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Protect/Toxic/Leech Seed

o.o

Starmie wasn't really use for in combination with another pokemon, it was used just for sweeping.

Thanks for the suggestion on the movesets but since only Starmie and Ludicolo will benefit from Rain Dance, I don't really think it would be a great idea. Like, If they both get KOed, then Rain Dance remains without much use... Cos it might end up helping the opponent...

i don't lose
i would say that if you're going to be skill swapping truant off of slaking, then switch the items around with slaking and regirock. why have a truant-less slaking that can still only use one attack? then you have to switch and undo your work. give slaking the lum berry, and regirock the choice band.

Then use the Starmie/Ludicolo later in the battle when your other enemies are disposed of. You don’t choice have many other choices since you don’t have access to FR/LG/E.

If you aren't use CB Slaking, you can use Slack Off or Protect instead of Brick Break.

I didn't realise that. So I guess I'll reverse the items.

I still haven't had any tries with Skill Swap. So how long does Skill Swap last for? Is it until one pokemon is KOed or is it permanent until switch or end battle?

------
-->Aragornbird

Would Kingdra be better than Ludicolo?

As for Slaking, I probably would keep Brick Break to keep an effective attack against Skarmory.

Probably won't get much time to play update this team until december though. :(

I guess. Kingdra can’t learn Fake Out though, which helps in setting up Rain Dance.

Skill Swap lasts until you switch out.

Starmie.

I think the five Pokémon you have are good. I'd also teach Starmie the Psychic.

^^Don't listen to him

Crush Claw on Slaking?? no, stick with Return.

And Water Pulse?? Waterfall is better.

Waterfall for more acc, Hydro Pump for more power on Starmie.

Other than that, nice team. As for the last member, Ludicolo is a good choice.

Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Rain Dish
Bold or Modest

Waterfall/Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Rain Dance
Leech Seed

Manectric is nice. Lightningrod can come in handy.

Protect for Manectric and Leech Seed for Ludicolo.
