Koraidon @ Heat Rock
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 112 HP / 120 Atk / 92 Def / 92 SpA / 52 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Collision Course
- Flare Blitz
- Heavy Slam
- Drain Punch

Sun setter that can survive a hit or two and deal massive damage back at the cost of recoil. Drain punch was meant to keep it healthy but I find myself never clicking it.

Heatran @ Assault Vest
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Solar Beam

Tanky and made for outputting consistent powerful damage. Solar beam has caught so many people off guard

Ogerpon-Hearthflame (F) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Synthesis
- Knock Off
- Wood Hammer
- Ivy Cudgel

Specializes in high single target damage. Since not many things resist fire and grass, using some of the most powerful moves of those types tends to OH-KO more often than I thought it would. Synthesis even heals more than usual because of sun.

Walking Wake @ Choice Specs
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 12 Atk / 244 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Hydro Steam
- Weather Ball
- Flip Turn
- Knock Off

Haven’t played with this one yet (last mon in this slot was volcanion that underperformed). I wanted something that could do water and fire damage while still out speeding most things so i chose this. I made the special attack lower than the speed so it can be boosted by protosynthesis and choice specs can boost SpA

Brute Bonnet @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Def / 140 SpA / 40 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Solar Beam
- Clear Smog
- Spore
- Protect

MVP in my opinion. Can output massive damage with 1 turn solar beam, wipe dondozos off the map with clear smog, Tera water + its bulk means it can survive a direct hit from things that should have killed it, and spore hasn’t failed me yet.

Flutter Mane @ Choice Specs
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Thunderbolt
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock

Similar to hetran in the sense that it is built for consistent max damage. Instead of tanking things like hetran, however, it just Tera fairy’s to its hearts content. Having the speed boost and choice specs means it is faster and still OH-KO.



I really like the move set of brute bonnet, flutter mane, and hetran. I feel like my Koraidon is underutilized and I have no idea how good my walking wake will be, so all feedback is accepted.
 
Hi Weirdkidplayingpokemom,

As your team currently stands, it is not legal in Doubles OU, because Koraidon and Flutter Mane banned. Meanwhile, it will struggle to keep up in Doubles Ubers, because your only Pokemon strong enough to succeed in that format are Koraidon and Raging Bolt. Even in the Restricted Doubles Ubers format, where players can only run two Uberyour team will likely want a different second restricted Pokemon instead of Flutter Mane. You can find the rulesets for these formats here:
Doubles OU
Doubles Ubers
Restricted Doubles Ubers

Regardless of the format you choose to play, the team in its current state is also incredibly all-or-nothing. You rely entirely on having Sun active, but many opponents will simply have ways to remove Sun, whether it's through an ability or even Rain Dance on a Pokemon like Tornadus. Your movesets also need some work; almost all of these Pokemon lack Protect, which is a key move to succeeding in any Doubles format, and other choices like Solar Beam Brute Bonnet are significantly worse than running more standard choices (in this case, physical moves like Seed Bomb and Sucker Punch).

This particular forum isn't for posting teams that need help; use the Rate My Team forum for that in the future. Please read the RMT rules before posting there.
