I’d probably start with Mega Raichu, Whimsicott, Garchomp, Sinistcha, Farigiraf, and Rotom-Wash.
That gives you a pretty solid beginner-friendly doubles core: Raichu gives Fake Out and strong special pressure, Whimsicott gives Tailwind, Garchomp gives physical damage, Sinistcha helps with Rage Powder, Farigiraf blocks priority and gives Trick Room control, and Rotom-Wash helps a lot into rain, Fire, Flying, and physical attackers.
The main Pokémon I’d try to get next is Incineroar. It fits almost every doubles team because Fake Out, Intimidate, and Parting Shot are all really useful.
Tyyyy
Team ID?
