I wanna make a team based around Soak in doubles. How should I do this?

Soak doesn't have a wide distribution. My choices are limited to Alomomola, Azumarill, Wailord, Lanturn, and maybe Octillery or Pelipper.

What pokemon would benefit from having their typed changed into mono water? Maybe Aggron or Avalugg?

Since I'm having a lot of water types, what are the big threats to look out for?

Start using Ampharos or Rotom with Discharge. They would really benefit with Soak support.

Alomomola is best Soak user.

run a core of alomomola, zapdos, and ferrothorn. it works wonders with Discharge from Zapdos.

oh and having either a water type Ferrothorn. I really like the 74 / 131 / 116 defenses for a water type, and also keeping Power Whip helps to knock out some soaked mons (run a Curse set for when they start switching to avoid soak)

run a core of Soaking (Seaking), Zapdos, and Ferrothorn. Zapdos is such a bulky threat with Discharge, and when paired with Lightning Rod Soaking, it makes for some nasty plays. Lanturn also can play this roll very well, Scarfed of course.

and then theres Aquathorn. I really like the 74 / 131 / 116 defenses for a water type, and also keeping Power Whip helps to knock out some soaked mons (run a Curse set for when they start switching to avoid soak). Been also toying with the idea of an assault vest Aquathorn with max HP and Atk EV investment.

This is all just theory though.

Soak is fucking great in doubles. Just soak your shitmon like Tyrantrum to get rid of his weaknesses for example.

Would drizzle support help? I don't want to make a rain team per se, but then I could take advantage of perfect accuracy thunder against the opponent's water types.

Soak gets rid of your opponents STAB, if they're a physical attacker and get Soaked plus Burned, they're pretty much useless from then on

I used Roserade and Alomomola combo.

Sleep Powder
Soak
Whatever Grass move

It worked pretty well, now imagine that with Mega Venusaur

I know I'm playing against shitters (and that I myself am a shitter), but it seems to work alright.

Alomomola feels like a much better soaker than Seaking. Should I switch him out for another pokemon that can use soak? Or maybe a different grass/electric type to take advantage of soak.
