More Notes: I am not sure if all the above Pokemon are UU and i need something that can take a hit (yes I know that), but i dont know of any UU tank's/sponges/what ever. And I need help deciding which Pokemon to lead off with.

Thanks in advance.

Porygon2 is BL.

 

[The X Factor]

Porygon2 is BL.

Borderlines can be used in UU tournaments I think. I don't know

 

[Overheat Hothead]

It is just a Link up battle so it doesn't really matter if it is officoly UU.

 

[StrayedBullet]

Hypno/Grumpig are good sponges in UU.

-SB ;001;

Proygon2 and Jynx are in fact BL in the 2v2 metagame as well due to Ice Beam. Strangely enough Luvdisc is BL in 2v2 as well.
I like the Sunny Beaming set on Rapidash since it stops waters, but if you are playing UU that means you should be fine. If you're playing BLs though use Sunny Beam because Rain Dance + Swift Swim will tear through more than half of your team...

I need to revise my old list of Double Battle tiers.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

Grumpig sounds nice at the moment.

Grumpig@ Leftovers
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 Spd / 96 HP / 44 SAtk / 118 SDef
Trait: Thick Fat
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Ice Punch
-Thunderpunch

BTW, who should I ditch?

 

[chaos952]

Playing defensively does not work in 2vs2, as the defensive Pokemon will get ganged on.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

Ok, but do I need to replace any Pokemon?

And can someone help me with the Evs/Moveset/Nature?

-EDIT-

Thanx to a random post by Fighting Master, I now have the Smogon UU list. Me and my friend have discussed it and we desided not to use BL so I will edit the first post.

 

[chaos952]

Standard and 2vs2 are two completely different metagames with completely different tiers...

 

[Overheat Hothead]

Well are my Pokemon UU?

P.S. Is there a list for 2v2 UUs?

 

[Infinity]

I made one for that in December and someone continued it on Smogon, but it got scrapped. I was going to do a write up today on 2v2 Ubers at least, but I'm lazy.

 

[Tazzler]

You are going by UU's of single metagame and UU's in Double battles are much different, some even OU in single.

 

[Aipomobsessor]

No one will agree with me, but go with this(IMO)

Luvdisc@ Lefties
Bold
Toxic
Sweet Kiss
Attract
Dive

Great for supporting in 2v2.

Stop posting Sneaskle. Hax is gay. I thought this thread died out.
