Week Seven: Double Dogs 
This week we're doubling down on... double dogs! Some of you may be familiar with the concept already; use multiple Calm Mind Pokemon (notably, Raikou and Suicune or VinTei and Suicune) to overwhelm the opposition.
Entei is a dynamic physical threat that can be deceptively annoying for foes with its access to bulky VinTei sets. Raikou is a fast, powerful setup sweeper that can steamroll through teams thanks to its great coverage, or it can function as a key VoltTurn member with teammates like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos. Suicune, meanwhile, is generally known for being absurdly bulky and having excellent longevity that, in conjunction with Pressure, can allow it to beat even would-be checks like Volcanion with ease. This, however, does not capture how offensively threatening Suicune can be, using the patented CroCune to great success as well. Regardless of which duo you decide to use, and which sets you use on them, I look forward to seeing how you all create teams that utilize two of the Legendary Beasts. Please have your submissions in by Friday, March 28th at 3pm GMT -6.
tom holland if I don't see ur submission we're never playing unite OR sm pu ever again
dog spam HO, including everyone's favorite dogs: Suicune, Entei, The yellow one, The bird yellow one! anyways let's cut the intro and get right away to the team explanation
Yellow Dog
Raikou is the team's lead, jolly as ever, thanks to it's fast speed, access to Stealth Rock, Taunt, Endeavor and close combat it can safely place hazards and stop the opponent from placing their own while also being able to do close combat shenanigans on the likes of Empoleon, Cyclizar and Krookodile. all aroudn classic lead nothing to say
Blue dog
sub tect calm mind scald, wins every duel with physical attackers with a 30%, an evil set we all know and hate, hatred being the running theme of the team as all our mons are mean-spirited and plan on manipulating the opponent into clicking the forfeit button, sub beats Umbreon and other toxic users, which is useful for other teammates down the line
Red dog
everyone's most hated unset! steal wins with MORE burn shenanigans and swagger bs! you also get priority for max annoyance factor! you love to see it, has been scientifically proven to produce more salt than the Sifto Salt Mines! order now!
FLYING Yellow Dog!
Raikou is one of the team's most potent settup sweepers, since we already have a Suicune we go with a more offensive set that benefits from Suicune beating Umbreon and uses Revelation Dance to beat Goodra-Hisui, weakened Umbreon and Bisharp, while hurricane is a general fuck-you button for threats that wowuld live a rev-dance, be careful as great power comes with great miss-chance
Maushold, helps Bird Raikou and Entei by keeping hazards off, also helps entei by sharing the same physical walls allowing Entei and Maus to help each-other by doing huge damage to their common checks, also just great at killing people, everyone knows what maus does
Everyone knows Bisharp, the greatest of all time, as annoying and unfair as all the other mons and also very bulky, just does bisharp thigns to help the team do HO things
thank you for reading this analysis, have a good day and vote for me

Double Dogs + Cress BO
- You know what this guy does, sets up sub, uses cm, be annoying as hell with great bulk and a chance to burn. - One of Suicune's problems is status moves, so Lunar Dance solves that problem, though it also be used for Entei and zap. It's also a mixed wall that can shut down set up sweepers or hinder fast wallbreakers. - Sneaky's right, adamant Entei is fun. It threatens krook, slither, fez, and tflame for Suicune. Crunch for basc isn't needed, as hoodra can handle it. - A knock off absorber and hazard remover, two things that the team is weak to so far. It also checks cycle, dark types for cress, fighting types, and zap. - The team needed an electric resist, a special wall, and a phaser for bro and the fuck ass bird (Entei checks ori, but an extra check doesn't hurt). Tbolt shits on water types and can be used to preserve draco. Even if a mon uses tera fairy, Flash Cannon nails it. - Self explanatory bird that provides speed control, checks fighting types for hoodra, and checks psychic types for geezing.Replays:
vs. real anna faris: Reun used Future Sight and switched to craw two turns later. Geezing would die to Future Sight, so I predicted the switch and used hoodra's tbolt. Missing draco would mean geezing dying to a cb Crabhammer.

Double Dogs but i'm broke
https://pokepast.es/1d9b52106e687385
i ran out of budget halfway through making the team, sorry
Suicune! Here as one of the double dogs, fills the role of setup sweeper to clean up and beat bulkier teams that this team may encounter. Using the classic set that we all know and hate, Suicune manages to be the most threatening thing on this team by a slim margin.
Using Sneakyplanner's signature adamant entei set, this mon is here to click buttons and burn things, and if needed, act as very crucial priority or even a nuke with tera normal double edge!
Raikou is here to act as the unneeded but still welcomed third dog on this team, with the goal of forming a very effective voltturn core with Cyclizar, and generally making progress for Suicune and gang to capitalize on.
Krookodile is here to lay hazards, knock items, and taunt Umbreons. The works.
You know what cycliar does. beats broken horoark sometimes, and generally does what it does.
Hoodra is here to click buttons and break shit, with the now oft unseen choice specs set that can still put out massive damage if positioned well.

No, I am not a week late.
Raikou is the first part of the dog duo, with it being a good pivot to get teammates in and out. Thunder wave can help bisharp and entei to sweep easier and cripples special walls such as cyclizar. CB entei is the main breaker of the team, with it doing great damage. Double edge with tera normal absolutely nukes physical walls such as slowbro and hippowdon. Classic special wall and removal of the team. Not much to talk about.
Main physical wall of the team, rocky helmet can help gain chip damage against u-turns and stuff like maushold. Otherwise standard set.
Obligatory steel type of the team, while allowing for a doubl priority core. Standard set.
Standard speed control, nothing more to say.
