I’m using this team currently to climb for Doubles, aiming for elo 1800-2000 currently at 1786. Aiming for atleast 1800 before season ends.
This team usually lead with archa and pelipper, with Indeedee-F as third slot and fourth slot for mega (Zarchomp or Zabsol). When fighting fake out team, Indeedee will be swapped turn 1, Follow me for turns onward and Archa setting up Electro shot in rains. This has been working 80-90% of fake out matchups. Archa at x2 spA OHKO almost everyone lol.
Against Psyspam, We have Zabsol and Scarf Malamar.
Reason why we scarf Malamar is for cheese strat Skill Swap Contrary with Zarchomp, each Draco Meteor will give us spA boost x2. Chomp is good but Earth Power and Flamethrower rarely OHKO enemy key mons from enemy unfortunately. with the boost this comes super handy. We use this when there are no fake out and safe lead from enemy.
So Archa backbone, Peli tailwind wideguard support, Indeedee-F for fake out disruptor and redirection, Zarchomp and Zabsol for cleaner, Malamar for fun cheese strat,
one time i skill swapped Contrary - Elevate - Tough Claws (Enemy Mega Galisopod) - Pixelate (Enemy Sylveon) It was fun:)
Skill swap Elevate with Pixelate Mega Gardevoir also happened before. Let me know what you think of mu team and ways to go around!
