    ok...i just wanted to get some advice and suggestions on the pokemon i use for double battles.

    Camerupt: Eruption
    Earthquake
    Flamethrower
    Sunny Day

    Crobat: Sludge Bomb
    Fly
    Giga Drain
    Shadow Ball
     
    Camerupt should know Overheat/Earthquake/Rock Slide/Explosion.

    CB Crobat should know Sludge Bomb/Aeriel Ace/Shadow Ball/Return.

    I hope that helps.

    Why do they only have 3 attacks? You better explain yourself.

    Also, YoMama, this is 2 vs. 2, not standard. I thought the title made that obvious, but apparently not. =\

    Don't pair Crobat with Camerupt, as Camerupt is inferior in 2 vs. 2. Pair it up with Swellow.

    Crobat @Leftovers
    Nature: Jolly
    Toxic
    Protect
    Substitute
    Sludge Bomb

    Swellow @Choice Band
    Nature: Jolly
    Facade
    Hidden Power Flying/Aerial Ace
    Quick Attack
    filler

    With Max Attack, Choice Band, and a Guts activation from Toxic, Swellow's Attack doubles to a potential 538. Also, Facade's power doubles to 140, and after STAB, that's 210! It will OKO just about every standard in 2 vs. 2 not resistant to it. Of course, Gengar, Metagross, and other popular normal resists in this environment will be your downfall. That's why it's advised to bring along a counter to these opponents should you be facing them.

    Lol. I forgot about the title. I SB not DB.
     
    To Aragorn: He does have 4 attacks =/ He just has one listed next to the name and the other three below it.

    Oh.

    Well, that's rather disorganized. Usually the word next to a Pokemon's name is the Item held.

    Its more conveinent to use the standard NetBattle format. I'll do one with Salamence to show you.

    Salamence @ Leftovers
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Earthquake
    -Hidden Power [Flying]
    -Dragon dance
    -Rock Slide

    Those might not be the EVs you guys use for Salamence. :(
     
    Why would we even criticize an EV spread of a pokemon that doesn't even belong to this topic. AB, Toxic is a bit risky due to the gradual damage increase. Swellow may not be able to kill everything before it dies. If this is ingame then it will work fine but on NB you might want to go for safer movesets.
     
    You still have to take some risks on NetBattle, prediction on your side or not.
     
    No, it's just called having better and safer strategies.
     
    I take risks all the time. :)
     
    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

    I know Crobat + Swellow combo is risky, but I had to work in a Crobat 2 vs. 2 strategy according to the original topic, otherwise I would have suggested stuff like Metagross + Gengar or Clefable + Charizard or other stuff like that.

    Leaving things like Blissey on Medicham isn't taking risks. It's being stupid.
    I never said you did this, but this is a risk and a stupid one.
     
    Most of us eventually take our risks. I use the Endure-Reversal combo even at the risk that Tyranitar Sand Stream might start.
     
    So you will basically only kill one pokemon with Reversal Hera (probably an already weakened one) before it dies if they have T-Tar
     
    i used camerupt and crobat, because crobat strikes first and camerupt has all the attacks to hit 2 pokemon at once
