That Berry is very important

Berries have not mattered this much since Gen IV

>>31262944
One guy did but he had injected stuff like Landorus.

>>31263147

He didn't earn that berry

I bet he GameSharked his way thru the Battle Frontier then bitches about how easy and boring it was

Anon with Torkoal, Oranguru, Gastrodon, Bulu doubles team from previous thread here.

I switched Gastrodon with Pelipper and fared much better. Already defeated regular Doubles and now moving on to Super Doubles

Lost my streak at 117 yesterday. Double Team Zapdos fucked me up. It also procced Ancient Power right on the first hit, which certainly didn't help.

This is as far as I'll go. With shitty movesets like above, you're bound to run into an unlucky moment at some point.

At Battle 46 yesterday, stupidly locked Lele into focus miss on Regice thinking the next Pokémon would be Registeel

I hate Wally so fucking much

This feels like an exercise in futility

>>31265011
mate, you don't need max IV pokemon for the tree at all. Get a jolly/adamant gible, ev train attack and speed, and slap earthquake and dragon claw on it. Rest is personal preference.

That alone will carry you through most of regular singles. Just back it up with something that resists ice or fairy, and switch it whenever something comes in that might be able to learn ice beam.

>>31265011
I managed to get to 7 battles in

I've never been great at any of the battle facilities...ever

>>31265011
Just spam battle Royale with a minimize muk.

>>31265011
Use UBs or Tapus with good movesets, normal mode will be easy as fuck

Do BP cap at 999 or 9999? Cuz I'm almost at 999 but I have nothing to spend them on.

They are not.

Nebby is banned in all forms though. Can't have a powerhouse like Cosmog in there.

>>31265238

Just spend it on Rare Candies, now that Hyper Training exists they're more useful than they've ever been.

Is Bolt beam still a thing or something? I haven't played competitive or the facilities ever before and would like to know

>>31264889
His gallade give me more trouble actually

>>31265346

Yes it's still a thing although loads of mons only have access to one and have to get the other via hidden power.

>>31265452
alright just wondering
going to try something out later, that's all

on a side note, anybody got the gengar set from a few threads ago? i believe he was running a scizor as well

i've never done doubles but i just bested super singles so i was planning to jump into it.

any general recommendations, strats and/or team comp suggestions?

>>31265529
Timid
252 SpA, 252 Spd
Focus Sash

Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Thunderbolt/Whatever
Destiny Bond

Scizor is a great second, but you need a Chomp check for Wally, as you're speed tied against his lead Mega Gallade and that means bad luck could end it there, where as good luck means you could kill it AND D Bond is Chomp second, but that's only if it's not scarfed

Mamoswine is a great revenge killer for your bases, and Hydreigon is a safe switch in against the tide of EQ
The original person I got it from used Dragonite; Milotic is also great for similar reasons

Q9SW-WWWW-WWW4-83GM
I love the BS Tree and accuracy hax

>>31265529
dug it up

Gengar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs:252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252Spe
Timid Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Will-O-Wisp
-Destiny Bond

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Fire Punch
-Earthquake

Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
Evs 248 HP / 16 Atk / 60 Def / 124 SpD / 60 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Roost
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor

The idea was to abuse how good gengar is. He 1-2 shots 90% of the pokemon in the tree so the strategy revolves around gengar knocking the first pokemon out and then using destiny bond to take out a second pokemon leaving you with a 2v1. Destiny Bond worked well since the AI seems to always attack when gengar was at red health so destiny bond never missed. dragonite can cover gengar's ground weakness and scizor can cover anything that isnt a fire move (which dragonite covers). The Scizor spread was straight from Smogon and I ran x-scissor because no bug bite yet and I dont like u-turn in battle tree if im trying to set up swords dance. Scizor tanks a lot of shit and can set up quite easily. Gengar's biggest threat is Sand Stream Tyranitar, which scizor covers well. I chose to run earthquake over roost on Dragonite to hit the fire and rock types. You could probably trade out fire punch for roost.

Was thinking about using a doubles team that consisted of leading with Mega gyarados and Alolan Marowak. In the back I was going to use Clefable and either special lucario or Hydreigon. Thoughts?

I won normal singles with them but i guess im going to need a mega for super, thinking on swaping mimikyu for Mgarchomp or Mscizor

Also, how is toxpaex for doubles?. Im think in pairing him with nihilego for poison bullshit and other two mons. Maybe blissey and someone else

>Chespin's Bulletproof made it immune to Sludge Bomb
What the fuck

>>31266318
-give lele choice specs or choice scarf
-never use mega garchomp
-dont use mega scizor alongside celesteela
Think about type synergy when it comes to building a team

>>31266318
>Tapu Lele @ Twisted Spoon

Use Life orb or Specs/scarf instead

Is the partner for your first time playing regular Multis always the same?
Because this bitch with her Barbaracle is a deadweight. I got to 13 before she decided to use Shell Smash twice instead of attacking.

Clinch. Dodged a bullet

Gathered enough DDs to definitely outspeed him

What are Scizor's relearn moves?

>>31266683
Just double click the outer edge, it'll adjust automatically.

>>31266709
It's not adjusting, it's stuck on Gengar's moves.

>>31262892
Smashed through super singles with xurkitree@choice scarf golisopod@life orb and megagross. Would recommend

To anyone who doesn't use megas, ultra beasts, tapus, or pseudos, how far have you gotten? Just curious.

>>31266651
wouldn't you have won anyway since he goes down first?

>>31266802
You have to have at least one Pokemon up at the end of the battle to win in the Battle Tree, even if you KO'd everything.

Whats a good nature for Cloyster? I've seen people recommend Adamant and Naughty

>>31266819
>31266498
I was super freaked out when I tied with an opponent's rough skin Chomp. Still gave me the win, which I thought would be a lose. I guess that was changed from last Gen Battle thing.

>>31266819
who ever dies first loses
i have had many situations where Marowak killed itself and the pokemon with flare blitz and still won.

>>31266869
That's actually pretty cool. I remember it being the other way but I haven't put together a team that'd put itself in that situation it in the Tree.

>>31266838
Adamant usually, are you Shell smash or something? Running Hydro pump, use Naughty.

>>31266967
Never used cloyster at all. What set would you recommend for it?

>>31267001
I've only used Shell Smash in Randos. You could run Rapid Spin though.

>>31265011
Explosion Swords Dance Silvaly carried me through the master level, but after a few battles the AI doesn't let that shit fly anymore

>>31267038
this, just put a strong explosion mon to lead and hope to blow 2~3 shitters turn 2, then just stall with toxapex or aegislash for the rest of the match. something with strong priority also helps, golisopod did good for me.

Can someone post the bulky Primarina set that people were using a few days ago?

>>31267285

Primarina @ Assault Vest
Bold/Calm
252 HP, 128/128 Def/SpA -or- 252 SpA 4 Def

Scald
Moon Blast
Energy Ball
Psychic/Ice Beam

Mega-garcomp or scarf?
Im already using lifeorb on mimikyu

>>31267285
is there any reason to honestly run primarina instead of tapu fini?

>>31267001
I usually run mixed Cloyster with Shell Smash and Focus Sash. Hydro Pump is good for catching physically bulky Steel types like Skarmory or Metagross off guard.

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 168 SpA / 88 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Hydro Pump

Don't keep it out against and special attackers or anything with priority. He has enough physical bulk (180 DEF) to tank pretty much anything pre-smash and can take some surprisingly hard hits post-smash, but will die to Pichu's Thundershock.

>>31267412
higher special attack, not having fini available

>>31267412
>>31267457
also tapu fini can't learn psychic or energy ball

>>31267440
what does 88 speed achieve?
how does the sash fares against white herb?

>>31267479
in some instances where you're forced to field cloyster vs a special attacker, focus sash ensures, in most cases, one shell smash before you need to start attacking

>>31267374
Thanks.

I made a calm one before with all EV into HP and SpDef. It was like a Chansey Seal.

>>31264889

honestly, I prefer quiet (+spAtk, -spd). Let's slash tank a hit in shield mode and then attack rather than attack, miss the kill, and die in sword mode. Plus you can use shadow sneak alongside your stabs.

Alright guys quick question about to do battle 50 in doubles I have saved so who battles me Red or Blue or is it random

>>31275284
online battles or battle facilities replenish any consumable held items

going in super doubles with choice band aero, lorb mamo, megamence and scizor
my record for super dubs is like 33

>>31275301
You'll battle Blue.

>>31275316
is weakness policy/HA dragonite better than megamence?

Just won the 50 battle of super doubles with tapu fini +gyarados and celesteela and porygon Z

>>31275327
Thanks so now gotta figure out a good team for blue

Has anyone been able to win the super multi stamp with the AI? I tried with Kiawe but lost at 26. Any tips?

>>31275389
Get Colress with Megagross. I beat all 70 multi battles with him on my first try.

Currently leveling up a Bagon, Deino, and Gible against the E4. Holy fuck it takes forever with only one Lucky Egg. And yes, fed them all one Rainbow Bean for the affection boost.

Evolving to Hydreigon is going to be bad enough, but I want my Gible to get to 100 because she's shiny so I can fix her gimped Sp.Def.
How do you guys stomach E4 grinding? Is there a better way to do it efficiently than just turning on Exp. Share?
My Plaza isn't set up with the two Rare Kitchens yet.

>>31275443
Yeah, just try to get him again and scout him when you win. Try to adjust your team so you fight him more often. Try leading with a poison type to make it more likely he has Megagross.

>>31275491
It is useless

>>31275446
you can get another for about 36-48 bp

If anyone wants both tree berries I can give them away. I didnt get them myself but I know I will never hit 200.

>>31275799
No, it's not much of an evasion boost but you'll see it a ton. In doubles it'll be on pretty much every team and singles you'll rarely go two matches without seeing it. Frisk helps a lot for identifying but it really just makes you mad to find out how common it is.

>>31275799
Only when the AI uses it. When you use it, it won't do anything.

What a fucking abomination. This is probably the least I've ever enjoyed a Pokemon game.
They took a step backwards in almost every regard: festival plaza over perfect lower screen, no dexnav, over half of the megas missing, apricorn balls but only one of each, tedious and boring (even by Pokemon standards) story mode, even less post-game than ORAS, a pokedex that throws quips and puns at you constantly, etc.

There's an Ambipom set that does that too.

>>31275799

I gave up and just started running aerial ace, maybe a no guard knockoff pokemon is next in line because of this bullshit

Here's my super singles team.

Salamence (M) @ Salamencite
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 196 SpD
Ability: Moxie
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Return

Tapu Bulu @ Expert Belt
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Ability: Grassy Surge
Adamant Nature
- Horn Leech
- Megahorn
- Superpower
- Stone Edge

Arcanine (M) @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Intimidate
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Wild Charge
- Close Combat

Salamence-M lead, baiting out ice, electric, dragon and rock types. If it can take a hit or two, it dances up then sweeps. If it can't, I swap to Bulu for electric, dragon and rock, or Arcanine for ice.

One issue is dragon types with poison attacks, or ice/ground types that can get around Arcanine.

Thoughts? I've experimented with an Incineroar in the third slot, but the fighting weakness, low speed, lack of priority and inaccessibility of HA really hurt it.

Do you get the first two Pokemon they used in the battle when you scout them?
And what about scouting during doubles?

Got to 46 wins in Super Doubles with this team before I misplayed against a Mega-Metagross. Thank you to the anon who gave me the idea of Porygon-Z and Ninetales lead.

Porygon-Z @ Normalium Z
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 SpA 252 Spe 4 HP
Modest Nature
-Blizzard
-Hyper Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Conversion

Alolan Ninetales @ Light Clay
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA 252 Spe 4 HP
Timid Nature
-Aurora Veil
-Freeze-Dry
-Moonblast
-Blizzard

Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk 252 Spe 4 Def
Jolly Nature
-Roost
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance
-Double-Edge

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP 252 Def 4 SpD
Bold Nature
-Toxic
-Haze
-Scald
-Recover

In hindsight, I would have made a few changes to the team.

-Moonblast could be replaced with Protect on Ninetales
-Possible Focus Sash on Ninetales, but Light Clay is also useful
-Adament Mence would have been helpful in some matches and the extra speed usually doesn't matter
-Haze wasn't that useful in Doubles and could be replaced on Toxapex with Protect

Overall I like the team and will try to level back up to 50 with it. The tree does loves to counter team this team with tons of Fire users and Mega-Metagross even though I only have one Ice type. I'll have to consider changes based upon that.

Hey if it works go for it. Must admit battle tree doubles is actually a fun place to try stupid shit that doesn't work anywhere else unlike singles and...that other one with an AI partner.

>>31275416

59 is the maximum I will level to and then I just use Rare Kitchens. It means I have to wait days before a mon is viable but grinding the E4 is silly when you can grind the Plaza for the same time and get more instant returns.

Best way to E4 is to have your desired mon, one level 100 mon who can take hits and one-shot their mons, and four filler mons to take their hits when you switch. Turn Exp Share off and Switch mode on. If the Level 100 mon has a multi-hit move it also makes things faster otherwise you get the annoying Sturdy-Full Restore bullshit which wastes time.

Most people say you need Rare Kitchen 5* but keep in mind you can still get Rare Kitchen 4* for much cheaper, and they have the option that gives you 7 Levels for 100 FC which is the best value. Those won't help you get to Level 100 since only 5*s provide that, but it still saves time.

The one thing Sunfags have going for them is they can savescum for Rare Kitchen 5*, so they can quite reasonably fill their Plaza with Rare Kitchens - meanwhile those with Moon can only get 5* by buying them which means it's 4500 FC just for two kitchens (but at least you can get 4* for free).

Is there a benefit in putting in SpAttack EVs in Ninetales? It's just too low for neutral coverage

I want a more efficient way of earning Festival Coins!
Okay fine, here's a neat little trick that might come in handy, though it's not always practical. While on local communication, go around the plaza talking to people with a red speech bubble. If you find a group of coin givers close together and/or who give a particularly high number of FC:

1. Get their points.
2. Attempt to connect to the Internet, saving in the process.
3. Reset the game and re-enter the Festival Plaza

Because you saved, you will have the FC you gained, but everyone you missed will be available to talk to again. If you have the Festival Plaza buff from a Fortune Teller to go with this and/or have a couple people asking for references that you have easy candidates for, this can be a far more efficient method of FC gain than doing Missions. Note that if it's your first time connecting online in a while, when you reset, the Guests will be different and you will no longer be able to answer the questions of your old Guests - however, your VIPs will still be available.

I got to Red with Mega Salamence, Garchomp, and Tapu Lele but because I'm fucking retarded I stupidly decided to switch to a team of all electric types because my logic was that 3 out of 5 of his Pokemon are weak to it. Needless to say, Snorlax fucked me up.

I haven't been able to get past 42 wins since then and I've attempted it at least ten more times.

Anyone who says this has never played the Tree. Literally very fucking match I get is perfectly tailored to screw me over, seriously this is just the dumbest shit. Every battle I have is like this.

I made some fuckawful plays here, and in retrospect I should have just left Lel in (Though I probably would have had 100% para-rate if I did), but god damn. I mis-clicked when I Scalded Ursaring, ruining my only chance of winning (PP stall), and of course it fucking burns so I don't get a second chance, and of course it's scarfed so it counters me 100%.

Except it's not scarfed. Kaula's Ursaring runs toxic orb and quick feet so whether or not you got the burn it wouldn't have mattered.

You have all the resources in the OP of this thread to know what your opponent's team is likely to be and even run damage calcs if you need to so you should very rarely ever be in doubt when you make plays.

>252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 168 HP / 168 SpD Ampharos: 160-189 (86 - 101.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
>252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psyshock vs. 168 HP / 0- Def Ampharos: 198-234 (106.4 - 125.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
You could've oneshot Ampharos with psyshock or if you run psychic instead you could 2HKO and even afford to get parahaxed once as nothing that ampharos has would've 2HKO'd you. Also, you should never use non-STAB as Mega Lucario unless it's for a x4 weakness. Adaptability CC is 240 base power whilst EQ would've only been 200 and had a very small chance of OHKO'ing even if Amp didn't have the ground berry.

Basically what I'm saying is the Tree is much easier if you just do a little bit of research on your opponents.

>>31278620
>hyperbole
>anecdote

You know the game's code is fully uncovered, right? There is NO algorithm whatsoever for counterpicks. Never has been.

I have a question about competitive pokemon, but I'm asking for the purposes of the battle tree so I'll post it here.

So I'm running Lycanroc night in the battle tree and he's doing pretty alright as a damage dealer. Currently I'm running
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch
-Fire Fang
-Reversal
with a Life Orb.

Anyways, my question is about his moveset. I thought Fire Fang would be good for coverage since Fire is such a strong attacking type, but since STAB Stone Edge has a BP of 150, even a super effective Fire Fang is still weaker by 20 BP. I almost never use it. It's only useful for pokemon 4x weak to fire like Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Abomasnow. Should I just get rid of Fire Fang?

Sucker Punch is also a lot weaker than Stone Edge and has mediocre coverage, but its priority comes in handy. I still have no idea if Reversal is worth it or not. By the very nature of the move, its kind of hit and miss.

Do you guys think
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch
-Taunt
-Rock Polish

would be better?

>>31278522
it does. there's a reason why you see the same pokemon used over and over against a certain team, and then you go up against pokemon youve never seen before when you decide to pick a new team.

I'm also starting to believe it reads moves.I used the gengar/m-scizor/dragonite combo. The first pokemon used dark pulse on my gengar and i used sludge bomb to bring it down to 1 hp. next turn i switch to scizor to just clean up and save my destiny bond since the pokemon was faster than gengar. the turn I switch from gengar to scizor the AI used fire blast over just using dark pulse again. Battle tree is some shady shit. My highest is 83 wins in singles but im moving onto doubles now

I lead with Oranguru/Drampa and I also got Kiawe every ten matches. Not exactly a counterpick.

It's coincidence. This isn't coded into the game in any form.

>>31278522
I have 50 in both too. It definitely counter-teams you typing wise but the movesets don't always reflect it.

>>31278681
>you see the same pokemon used over and over against a certain team, and then you go up against pokemon youve never seen before when you decide to pick a new team.

Except that doesn't fucking happen, you're only remembering the hard matchups rather than the ones where the AI acts retarded/gets swept. It's chance.

>>31278542
I used protect in case I wanted to go right for a Scald to try and burn instead of poison, but BB is probably a good idea.

Just feeling discouraged because I've never been that hard-countered before. My team was weak defensively, so I threw in Toxapex. It worked great for the first 5 battles, but then I get motherfucking Scarfed Guts Facade Ursaring, a Pokemon I've never seen before that JUST SO HAPPENS to counter me 300%.

See, that's the problem with this shit. You can't adapt, because every time you do, the game adapts harder. The Tree would still be a challenge without team counters, there's no need for this shit.

So when bank updates, what Pokemon will be more preferred for the tree?

>>31278646
>You know the game's code is fully uncovered, right?

I need source on this.

>>31278676
Singles I assume?

That aside if it working for you stick with it. I see no problem keeping fire fang around as insurance for ferrothorn, scizor karaba...whatever.

>abomasnow

Anon stab stone edge is better than fire fang in this scenario and will always faint all 4 versions of that thing in the tree nomatter what if you went jolly or adamant with 252 in attack.

You're completely right. I didn't even think about just CC'ing the Ampharos. I'm just salty at how ridiculously the game hand-picked counters for me.

I was actually gonna use Serebii to check the Pokemon, but I forgot the trainer's name and Serebii lists each trainer separately so I couldn't CTRL+F.

I was almost thinking about just never playing again, but you gave me some hope that I could have played around that.

Also, my Lel has Psyshock AND Psychic, which is probably retarded but I couldn't think of another move for a Specs Lel. Energy Ball? I have Tbolt and Moonblast and my HP is something garbage. Also, should I stick with the Specs or go Life Orb?

>>31278811

Yeah, singles.

Actually come to think of it, I might use
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch
-Counter

Instead. Counter will allow me to kill Steel and Ground types most of the time since they are physical attackers, I'd just have to switch from a Life Orb to a Focus Sash.

I just have to think of if I want Taunt or Rock Polish.. Rock Polish on a Lycanrock could lead to an easy sweep.

>sash polish
That's an option too especially if you went adamant.
Too afraid to rely on night's "bulk" myself in singles but had a great time with scarfed dog in doubles. 100+ streak.

>>31278971
team details?

If I had to guess dragon dancer with some special bulk on the side to possibly survive an ice beam...maybe.

>keep using EQ while it kills my last Pokemon

>>31278971

Yeah, mine is Adamant.

I actually wanted my Lycanroc to be bulkyish like his god damn description implies, so I put 108 EVs in HP and 100 EVs in both defenses. It may not be absolutely optimal to competitivefags but, it does make a decent amount of difference.

Also, I like to imagine after he uses rock polish and his feet are all smooth and shit he gets much faster because he can skate around on the ground like Shadow the hedgehog. It's retarded, but the idea of Rock Polish as a move is retarded anyways.

>Being a degenerate Barneyfag

>>31279070
dragonite is already better in the tree and will only be even better when bank releases

>>31279051
It's "Rock Cut" in Japanese. They chisel down their body to reduce drag. Like how you cut gems, only to go faster.

Guys, does Power of Alchemy work just like Receiver? Because it could potentially make A-Muk be the ultimate Doubles Pokémon come Bank update *cough*Shedinja*cough*

>>31279134

So wait, are they trying to get faster by cutting down their weight or are they trying to get faster by smoothing their body so they can slip and slide around?

Basically lead with mence and koko for the majority of time.
Switch out mence for primarina in case of ice beams
Bring in the dog to revenge kill any ice/flying/fire types or in general if either koko or salamence faints, remove sashes, and the occasional flinch hax of rock slide. Also the nice bonus of bypassing all evasion hacks thanks to no guard.

I'm not a footfag though. Or a furry. I just don't see how else Lycanroc could become faster by polishing himself to "reduce drag".

Whether you run Specs or Scarf on Lele is more based on whatever helps your team more I guess. I've never used Lele myself in the Tree but I'd suggest not using it as a lead or pairing her with Lucario. With Lele as a lead you're going to be forced to switch out a lot against things like Sashes or bulky steel types that can take a hit and KO lele back. Having something as frail as Lucario as one of your options in the case where you have to switch out is never good. Psychic terrain might also fuck you over at some point if you really need to Bullet Punch.

Also you need something to cover Scarfchomp because if Lele takes a hit and your opponent has scarfchomp in the back then you're actually fucked.

>>31279249

You know, I'm pretty sure most of the reason people hate furries is because of non furries being associated with him.

If it was the 90s, Lycanroc night would be cool as fuck.

Exactly. That the exact damn reason I love this thing.

>>31279263
I used Lucario to have an easy switch on the dark moves the game throws at my Lele. It worked well, but I get completely fucked by status moves. I beat a Scarfchomp before, but it was locked in Outage. I'm probably fucked if it uses EQ.

Starting to wonder if I should just go with the Megamence meme and be done with it already.

You have 10 seconds to name a better multi partner than Colress.

Heck no even if I have 3156 BP on hand. I'll stick with my pickup team and that free somewhat daily rare candy respawn spot in melemele sea.

Now if it was 24 BP like it was in BW2...

>fought Cynthia three times in a row
Didn't show up at all in my previous runs until the moment add on and try out Tapu Koko with my Kartana and Megamence.

>>31279545
>rare candy respawn spot in melemele sea.
Where?

>>31279456
If you can get a 0 speed ditto then trick room is a good little gimmick. Lum berry Oranguru with instruct and trick room, specs vikavolt, life orb bewear, and alolan marowak took me past 50 on my first attempt in super doubles. Oranguru is ridiculously good in doubles, like the best (could use a bit more bulk and maybe recovery) doubles trick room setter ever.
Rain is also as good as it's been since permanent weather.

bonemerang or earthquake for alolan marowak?

Go to Hau'oli beach and surf to the adjacent beach a few feet to the right and use herdier. It not a completely daily thing but it always respawns after a while.

Anyone with a mega that hits hard and fast with decent backup

...so anyone with a mega gallade/lucario since they spam the heck out of close combat majority of the time with great success.
