Winds of Tyranny (double battles)
 
Ok first off, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to double battles. I've been trying to think of a strategy that can make use of Tyrantrum, and after a bit of trial and error I have something that works moderately well...but it still has a lot of room for improvement.

Here's what I have so far:

=== [battlespotdoubles] Untitled 2 ===

Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Tailwind
- Wide Guard
- Rock Slide
- Protect

Tyrantrum @ Assault Vest
Ability: Strong Jaw
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Bulldoze
- Ice Fang
- Thunder Fang

Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Atk / 80 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Foul Play
- Protect

Noivern @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- Draco Meteor
- Switcheroo
- Hurricane

Gengar @ Gengarite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 224 HP / 252 Def / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
- Perish Song
- Protect
- Disable
- Shadow Ball


The main strategy is this:
1. start off with Noivern and Gengar
2. limit opponent's moves with switcheroo and disable
3. either go for perish song, or start sweeping
4. when Noivern or Gengar goes down, bring out Aerodactyl.
5. use Aerodactyl to stall for perish or just focus on damage, and set up tail wind before it dies.
6. bring out Tyrantrum for a late game sweep.


Right now Tyranitar and Suicune are dead weight. I haven't really used this team long enough to get a good feel for the main threats, so I don't know what to add to counter it...and I have a tendency to use pokemon that I've used in previous teams, and I'm new to double battles, so I don't have many ideas. I'm really wanting to think outside the box on this one, so any help is appreciated.
