Resumo
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is collaborating to solve a unique competitive challenge: building a high-performing double battle team without using any Ground-type Pokémon. Members are sharing strategic advice, suggesting key picks like Archaludon and Glimmora, and discussing how to handle specific meta matchups. This thread highlights the collaborative spirit of the server as players refine their tactics for upcoming gym-themed tournaments.
I have an upcoming tournament with Gym Electric and need to build a double battle team without using any Ground-type Pokémon. Can anyone help me build a team?
Choose a volt absorb or lightning rod pokemon, that'd be my first step, unless that's against the spirit of the challenge
mega septile would be high on my list
Could you suggest anyone for the remaining slots on the team?
Septile has a lot of weaknesses, but is extremely fast and is fairly strong. I'd make sure a random ice beam/ice spinner doesn't one shot it. Maybe some re-direction?
Discord sent us an expired image link.
I'll start with a dragon type
Can you come up with an idea for a complete team?
I'd probably go indeedee female, with follow me, trick room, imprison (does indeedee female get imprison, I assume so), and psychic

Garchomp Z would be the best, but since ground aren't allowed....
Archaludon seems like a great start
wht are u struggling with
and what do u need help with exactly
I need ideas for a complete team
what is your team?
But electro shot is a bad idea vs electric types
Maybe glimmora is good, if ground moves are allowed
A team without any Ground-type Pokémon
Yea ground moves are allowed
No problem then, glimmora is one of the few pokemon with ground damage in this the format
ground types are not even good in current meta u got two strong ground types
that's all
Are there any other restrictions
No, that's all
Then it's super easy
what issues are u having?
Are there any matchups you specifically have trouble with
I don't have any ideas
than how are we supposed help u if u don't even know your problem
Actually, I'm looking for ideas to build my team
No
what if i just give u a team than
u know how to play doubles ?
…..
now i am confused,they are not explaining the problem at akk
Yeah, I know. Just give me a quick rundown of how the team composition works
