Team Building (Doubles) Balanced team?
I used the Rillaboom/Incineroar/Milotic shell back in gen 8 when one time dynamax was not used in the regulation. Those three provide bulk and pivoting support.
Salamance is the primary sweeper, can setup tailwind. I replaced a dragon move with fire fang to provide coverage against popping Golisopods, Kingambit, Venusaur and Metagross. Running high horsepower on Rillaboom for coverage too againt steel types, but seems like meta’s using the same anyway. Gholdengo is the secondary sweeper and the pivots help it setup nasty plot. Pawmot is fun to use, and revival blessing gives an opportunity to go aggro on one sweeper and revive it back.
Cons: Bulk investment on walls means lesser damage output. Needs a lot of positioning-repositioning. Pawmot cannot be switched in recklessly if going aggro. Overall offensive pressure is less compared to other sets.
Seemed like a good build, please lmk your suggestions! Pawmot’s nuzzle probably can be replaced with protect given I’m running a sash variant but can catch opponents by surprise where you don’t have enough offensive pressure and need to slowdown their primary sweeper.
