    Right now I'm trying to determine a foolproof team for Double Battles in the Battle Maison.
    I'll show my team as it is, and what I was thinking I could add/replace. All comments welcome :)

    Typlosion @ Choice Scarf
    Timid. Blaze.
    4Def/252SpAtk/252Spe
    Eruption
    Heat Wave
    Focus Blast
    Extrasensory

    Charizard @ Charizardite Y
    Modest. Blaze (Drought).
    252SpAtk/4SpDef/252Spe
    Heat Wave
    Solar Beam
    Dragon Pulse (was thinking of changing to Ancient Power)
    Protect

    Gardevior @ Leftovers
    Bold. Telepathy.
    252HP/252Def/252SpAtk
    Growl
    Heal Pulse
    Calm Mind/Protect
    Moonblast/Protect

    Excadrill @ Life Orb
    Adamant. Mold Breaker.
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide
    Swords Dance
    Protect

    The tactic as is so far is to send out Typlosion and Charizard and immediately go for a Drought boosted Eruption. This usually kills everything that doesn't resist (Solar Beam by Charizard) or doesn't have sturdy (Heat Wave by Charizard), so I haven't had a chance to really check my last to Pokemon, but Gardevior is supposed to lower the opponents attack and heal Excadrill while ignoring its Earthquakes.

    The only real problem I've faced so far is flash fire pokemon, so I want to change Dragon Pulse to Ancient Power on Charizard to stop that problem.

    I've also consider swapping out my Gardevior for another Pokemon, considering I haven't had a chance to really test it. I was thinking of getting a Tornadus like so:

    Tornadus @ ???
    ??? Nature. Prankster.
    ??? EVs (enough to outspeed Excadrill by 1)
    Tailwind
    Smack Down
    Confide/Bulk Up/Knock Off/???
    Protect

    Tailwind to boost the team's speed and smack down to allow for easy earthquakes for Excadrill, Protect, and then a filler move I don't know how to fill.

    or a Musharna like so:

    Musharna @ ???
    ??? Nature. Telepathy.
    ??? EVs
    Possible Moves: Reflect, Light Screen, Helping Hand, Protect, Worry Seed, Moonlight, Thunder Wave, Psychic, Protect

    Any one have any good ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
