RM double battle Team

[Magmarizer]

This is another RMT. This time I need help with a double battle team. Ive never made a double battle team before so IDK if this team is any good. I tried to match them up so that they would have good synergy, but im not sure how to EV a pokemon for a double battle ( i read the double battle primer on smogon though) so without further ado...

Electivire@ Charcoal
Mild
36Att/204SpA/54SpDef/252Spe
Thunder bolt
HP grass
Cross Chop
Heat wave

Wash machine Rotom@ Leftovers
Bold
252Hp/168Def/88SpDef
Discharge
Will o wisp
Hydro pump
Light Screen

These are my openers. Rotoms Discharge boosts the speed of electivire, and hydro pump covers his ground weakness. Will o wisp can burn any potential threats, and light screen can protect both pokemon. Both move sets are from smogon. i think i should use those as this is my first team.


Infernape@ Life orb
Naive
252Att/64SpA/192Spe
Mach punch
U turn
Close combat
Heat wave

u turn if he is in danger. Mach punch to finish off the foe when there HP is low enough. not much more to say.

Rhyperior@ Leftovers (sturdy rock)
Adamant
136Hp/244Att/128Spe
Earthqauke
Stone edge
Megahorn
Substitute

Sturdy attacker. Can use earthquake to take on multiple foes. Has substitute if hes in danger. Most of my team is immune to earthquake. This has two benifits. Rhyperior can attack un inhibited, and earthquake is a fairly common move, so i will be protected from it.

Gengar@ Choice scarf
Timid
4Att/252SpA/252Spe
Shadow ball
Thunderbolt
Focus blast
Explosion

Revenge killer. he is really fast, so can attack fast. he has explosion to take out big threats, and 4 Att to give it a bit of a boost.

Crobat@ leftovers
Timid
104Hp/152SpA/252Spe
Air slash
Taunt
Roost
Super fang

Has air slash to counter fighting types. can taunt and then super fang walls. roost can heal him.

thank you for reading.

Quick rate: move your Atk EVs to SpA and change Jolly to Timid on Crobat, since you're using Air Slash (and Super Fang has set damage anyway).

I'm no pro at double battles, but I'd replace some moves with moves that hit both your opponents pokemon. Some examples are Rhyperior replacing Stone Edge with the more accurate Rock Slide, and changing Flamethrower on Infernape to Heatwave.

On Electivire I'd replace HP Ice with HP Grass, since Swampert will tank a lot of your hits, and if you focus your attack on Swampert, then the other pokemon is free to do whatever it loves doing. I'd also look at replace Charcoal with Expert Belt, or even Life Orb. Electivire really needs the damage boost.

But if i add heatwave, that would affect my pokemon also. I could add a heatran in there to get a fire boost, but that may be too many fire pokemon.

Really? I thought it hit both of your opponents pokemon only. I think you're thinking about Lava Plume :P If I'm mistaken I'm sorry for giving such useless advice.
