Here are some double battle stratergies that you can fit onto Pokemon of your choice.

-1st Pokemon uses Earthquake (Hits all)-The Second is a Flying Type or has Levitate Ability

-One Pokemon Uses Discharge (Hits all)-The Second is a Ground Type or has Volt Absorb (Heals from elec), or Motor Drive (Elec does no damage and raises Speed ) ability

-1st Pokemon Uses Lava Plume (Hits all)-The Second has Flash Fire (Fire does no damage and raises its attack) ability.

-1st Pokemon uses Surf (Hits all)-The second has the Water Absorb (Heals from Water) or Dry Skin (Heals from Water, Rain Dance acts like leftovers) ability.

-1st Pokemon uses Explosion (Hits all)-The second uses Protect or Endure (Leaves user with 1 HP) Endure works especially well if hold item is a berry that increases stats when health is low or if the user also knows Flail or Reversal (Lower Health means Higher Attack).

…Controlling the Weather can flip a double battle to your advantage if your team is built for a certain condition

Sunny Day-Raises Fire’s power by 50%-Lowers Water’s power by 50%-Solar Beam takes 1 turn instead of 2-Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Sythesis restore 100% health instead of 50%-Doubles Speed of Pokemon with Chloryphil ability(there are several other abilities that benifit from Sunny Day but they are less usefull)

Rain Dance-Raises Water’s power by 50%-Lowers Fire’s power by 50%-Solar Beam takes 4 turns instead of 2-Raises Thunder’s accuracy from 75% to 100% and may allow Thunder to break through Protect-Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Sythesis restore 25% health instead of 50%-Doubles Speed of Pokemon with Swift Swim ability-Restores Health to Pokemon with Rain Dish, or Dry Skin ability

Sand Storm-Hurts all Pokemon except Steel, Rock, and Ground types-Doubles Special Defence of all Rock Pokemon-Lowers Thunders accuracy from 75% to 50%-Solar Beam does half Damage-Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Sythesis restore 25% health instead of 50%-Raises evasiveness of Pokemon with Sand Cloak abilty

Hail-Hurts all Pokemon except Ice types-Raises Blizzard’s accuracy from 80% to 100% (Strongest ice move in the game and hits both opponents)-Solar Beam does half Damage-Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Sythesis restore 25% health instead of 50%-Raises evasiveness of Pokemon with Snow Cloak abilty-Heals Pokemon with the Ice Body ability

…Moves that hit both opponcents work well. Here are a few I can think of.

-Razor Leaf-Muddy Water-Twister-Rock Slide-Heat Wave-Eruption-Water Spout
