I conquered Super Singles, but I have no idea how to build a competitive team for doubles.

Is Dark Void Smeargle viable in the maison?

Well, Smeargle can be viable, but it has below average Speed as well as shitty bulk so it will be risky. If you're using Dark Void in every match, prepare for the opponent's Insomnia / Vital Spirit leads as well as Fake Out Mons who break your Smeargle's Sash.

M-Kangaskhan, combined with some bulky status absorber and pretty much whatever you want. This team got me a 88 win streak on my first try:

Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Scrappy / Parental Bond
-Return
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Power-Up Punch

Milotic @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Nature: Bold
Ability: Marvel Scale
-Scald
-Dragon Pulse
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Def
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Magic Guard
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Flash Cannon
-Trick Room

M-Kanga for general sweeping, she can destroy 90% of all opponents by itself. Milotic is for stalling and Reuniclus for destroying frail hyper offense teams. It also has Fighting resistance, which is good when you're leading with Kanga.

For Singles I used Mega Mom, Sash Greninja, and Life Orb Garchomp and got a streak of 132 wins.

For Doubles I used Mega Garchomp with a a kind of weird EV spread (252 HP/56 Att/200 SpD), Sash Gengar, DDance Gyarados with a Sitrus Berry, and Life Orb Scizor and got a streak of 119 wins.

OP's tip for gitting gud: use Mega Kangaskhan, seriously. All the rumors about M-Kanga's massive power are true. That fucker was a part of my 50+ team in Singles, Doubles, and Rotations, and my Doubles and Rotations strategies were pretty much just sweeping with M-Kanga while supporting it with my other Mons. Triple Battles has so far been my only 50+ streak where I didn't have Kanga since I used a weather team instead.

Because Mega Garchomp is basically bulkier than Hippowdon. With these EVs it can tank most non-STAB Ice attacks that the Maison throws at it (which normal Garchomp needs a Yache Berry to do) while also being about as strong as a Life Orb Garchomp with the same EV spread.

I fucked up with kanga's ability but still gets the job done.

You always lead with kanga and when facing against a fighting type switch to Sylveon, or when facing a ghost type use Mandibuzz.

got me 76 win streak.

It's also beastly on Battle spot. Always lead with Mandibuzz, if opponent has a Greninja lead with Sylveon since most always tend to use it as lead.

Mega Mom kills whatever you didn't get to destroy.

Quoted By: >>18855363

Right now doing Singles with:

>Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn
>Scarf Chandelure
>Sitrus/BellyJet Azumarill

This ended up being an incredibly good core, unless they have a Fire Type move Ferrothorn can wall most of the Maison's shit, letting me get up Leech Seed and at least 2 layers of hazards. Any physical attacker dies to it and even special attackers have trouble breaking through. If they do, I can simply bring in Chandie/Azu and sweep the rest of their team thank to Leech Seed/Hazards bringing them down and breaking Sturdy/Sash.

My main problem tends to be Grass/Poison types who can wall Ferrothorn and Azumarill, especially Venusaur who's bulky enough in the Maison to survive Chandelure's Flamethrower. However, all the Maison sets are stall, and none can really touch Chandy before he 2HKOs them.

I was also considering swapping out Azumarill for M-Gyarados, with Intimidate giving extra bulk and him keeping most of the good resistances (though he doesn't resist Dark until after megavolving). Plus DDance is easier to use than Belly Drum and lets me outspeed things as well.

I personally accept the Genning of legendaries since it's basically impossible to get competitive legendaries without RNG abusing or Pokegen. This wouldn't be a problem if Maison wasn't using them however, but since you start seeing competitive legendaries at 40+ win streaks, I think it's fair that I have perfect Thundurus and Landorus myself.

So far the only Pokemon I've run into with Taunt was Toxicroak, and even then he will always Fake Out first. Besides, you really only need to set up on the first Pokemon, they won't bother to switch to their Taunter and Ferrothorn can still be used to kill physical attackers with Power Whip/contact damage. Honestly it likes to spam Fire types or Venusaur more often, which is easy enough to switch to Chandelure.

Biggest surprise for me was Skuntank, which had both Incinerate and Flamethrower. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have much else, and it can't even OHKO max HP Ferrothorn and doesn't have Sucker Punch. Chandelure easily kills it with Flamethrower after Flash Fire as well.

Each mode in BM has a Super version unlocked when you beat them. And when you get to the 50th match, you will have another match with either of these in their respective mode. Beating them will earn you a statue.

They will try their best to hax you with legendary team. And before them, there will be a lot of worse opponents.
