My second try at a competitive team (double battles)

[Mayfan24]

This team is currently in training but this is what it's supposed to look like.

Snorlax
Adamant Nature
Ability: Thick Fat
EV's: 252 HP, ATK 252
Attack 1: Rest
Attack 2: Belly Drum
Attack 3: Earthquake
Attack 4: Yawn

Houndoom
Modest Nature
Ability: Flash Fire
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 SPD
Attack 1: Nasty Plot
Attack 2: Flamethrower
Attack 3: Dark Pulse
Attack 4: Roar

Espeon
Modest Nature
Ability: Synchronize
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 SPD
Attack 1: Calm Mind
Attack 2: Substitute
Attack 3: Baton Pass
Attack 4: Psychic

Blissey
Impish Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
EV's: 252 HP, 252 DEF
Attack 1: Softboiled
Attack 2: Toxic
Attack 3: Substitute
Attack 4: Stealth Rock

Blastoise
Bold Nature
Ability: Torrent
EV's: 252 DEF, 252 Sp. Atk
Attack 1: Skull Bash/Withdraw
Attack 2: Surf
Attack 3: Blizzard/Ice Beam
Attack 4: Rapid Spin

Togekiss
Calm Nature
Ability: Hustle
EV's: 252 Sp. Def, 252 SPD
Attack 1: Ancientpower
Attack 2: Follow Me
Attack 3: Thunder/Thunderbolt
Attack 4: Double Team

Blissey and Snorlax are supposed to be used as a wall combo, with them both out that should make for a good stall. Espeon is going to be teamed with Togekiss, Togekiss uses Follow Me while Espeon uses Calm Mind, then Espeon Baton Passes to Houndoom. Blastoise is going to be used on the Defensive side of the team, so it'll be used with Snorlax and Blissey. Blastoise is actually the only Pokemon I am still having trouble thinking of a moveset for, but all-in-all this team feels balanced and I really like it.

Togekiss
Calm Nature
Ability: Hustle
EV's: 252 Sp. Def, 252 SPD
Attack 1: Ancientpower
Attack 2: Follow Me
Attack 3: Thunder/Thunderbolt
Attack 4: Double Team

Togekiss should have SpAtk Evs, Moves should be Aura Sphere, Air Slash, Nasty Plot and Roost.

Also, we need to see the items. They make a big difference

I haven't figured out what items they are going to hold, but I think I might go with that moveset for my Togekiss.

This is sort of problematic. Snorlax and Blissey can't play together because Snorlax is going to kill her. She'll try to Substitute, but if the enemy manages to get the substitute down, Blissey is a goner. They don't really form any sort of stall together either since Blissey relies completely on being a single-player fighter. Their status moves contradict each other too, so you won't get much out of both -- while you'd rather Yawn to Belly Drum, Blissey's only offense is Toxic so there's no point in having Blissey out there.

Double Team is banned in competitive... And Follow Me + Double Team is a pretty weak combo, especially if the foe uses moves that hits both foes anyway -- you can't absorb those attacks at all.

Not sure about the efficacy of the rest of the set either. We'll wait for some more professional critique.

so is there something that i should switch blissey out with? as i said this team is still in training so i am up for ideas

no offence, but many movesets for normal play wont stand a chance in the double battles,
so many unique combos can be taken for granted and easily manipulated,
if you want plenty of spatk try a flatter + persim berry,
and taunt + sucker punch if you wanna stall, so many moves meant for opponents can be used on your own team to increase their stats and etc ;)

For Double Battles, you want Protect on a few Pokemon due to how common Protect+Explosion partners are.
