Moveswap (help me make a better name)​

Premise: A double battle format but whenever you use a move, your OTHER pokemon uses it, and if you have only one pokemon the same pokemon will use it.

For example, if :dragonite: & :landorus: are on the same side, and :dragonite: uses dragon dance, then :landorus: will use dragon dance instead of :dragonite:

Okay niche strat, but say you use a really good boosting move (clangourous soul, no retreat etc) next to Numel (the only pokemon with simple in S/V), and then also use baton pass with the non-numel mon, you have just passed ungodly amounts of stat boosts to a sweeper of your choice

Oh and to add other ideas into the mixing pot (for bans or banwatch)
- Letting other pokemon use moves like extreme speed (such as Ursaluna)
-Giving other pokemon access to QD, VD and Belly Drum
-Oranguru Instruct shenanigans
-Giving a support mon trick room, and the TR donor getting a boosting move from the support mon (can't think of a good example)
- Latios using simple beam on its partner (who will then use simple beam on Latios) and the partner using quiver dance (or calm mind) then Latios sweeping with stored power
-A sun mon getting growth donated to it/ a sun sweeper getting growth donated to it

Also ban smeargle. Do I need to explain this one?

Ok thx and I agree with most of these
 
Quick idea for a duo (I have one half of it)
Dragonite and Ursaluna

Dragonite
Item- Punching Glove
Ability- Inner focus
Tera Type- Fire
-Facade
-Extreme speed
-Earthquake
-Roost/Dragon dance/Protect

Ursaluna
Item- Flame Orb
Ability- Guts
Tera Type- Normal
-Swords Dance/Bulk up
-Fire Punch
-Drain Punch
-Shadow claw

The idea is that Dragonite donates E-Speed to Ursaluna, which becomes a STAB Priority normal type move of a 624 attack stat (if Ursaluna is adamant), and Ursaluna gives good punching moves to Dragonite (who is holding a punching glove to increase the damage and protect it from contact effects), with shadow claw hitting the ghost types that give Ursaluna trouble, and Drain punch hitting the Rock and Steel types that resist E-Speed and Facade.

Also maybe the meta could be called like "Inversed Instructions" "Opposite Orders" or something else that sounds catchy
(A lot of popular OMs have alliteration, "Almost any Ability", "Godly Gift", "Mix and Mega" etc)

Wouldn’t shadow claw & drain punch be transferred to the :dragonite: instead of the :ursaluna:

Exactly! While the Dragonite wouldn't have STAB attacks, Drain Punch hits rock and steel types that resist Ursaluna's E-Speed and Facade (As well as healing dragonite), and Ghost Types have to worry about shadow claw, so there would be effectively no way to wall Ursaluna!

this concept seems extremely similar to Partners in Crime, but instead you share moves with your allies so this seems more confusing/less exciting to play
