How viable does this sound?

Double battles, leading with Furret and Azumarril, and having Furret use Follow Me w/ Focus Sash, allowing Azumarill to set up with Belly Drum.

What kind of nature/EV spread would be best for Furret? Is there something better than Furret to use?

Also I've never built a doubles team before, just be cool guys.

Wouldn't work very well, simply because there are two attackers against you on a doubles team.

here's what would happen
>furret uses follow me and dies to attacks
>azu drums and gets to +6
>azu takes out one mon with Jet next turn and then gets KO'd by the one it didn't target

First off, follow me won't work as well as you think. Discharge and other spread moves are common, so it's likely Azumarill can get hit anyways.

Focus sash is worthless, you'll likely be taking two attacks and will die anyways. Sitrus is probably your best bet.

Furret's EVs should be spread between defences and HP. PAchirisu would be a better user, as it discourages discharge or other electric attacks.

Also, as you're fighting two pokemon, Azumarill will likely die later no matter what you do. It's awfully slow, and at 75% hp in the best scenario it won't bulk the stuff thrown at you in doubles.

>follow me and belly drum turn one, furret is kill
>bring in a M-kanga
>go Mega and fake out one poke, ohko the other with aqua jet

Now you have a full-health m-kanga, a +6 azu at 75% (assuming sitrus ) and you're both down one Pokemon, as well as potentially shitting over their strategy with fake-out and follow me

They need two Pokemon that can deal with two of the strongest attackers in the game, and considering how offensive vgc is, they're luck if they have one.

tl;dr, git gud

Here's a replay of my second fight that I also won. The first fight they forfeited, this one I actually got to finish. I don't know if it's my team that's doing well or their teams that just aren't that good lol.

the guy was a retard for not circle throwing azumarill on the first sight of belly drum

also make your hp uneven so belly drum drops you over just enough to activate sitrus berry
you want that health

Yeah, don't think your team is amazing, you're facing retards. Also, your azumarill's HP is fucked up. Make it an even number so sitrus activates when you use Belly Drum. After 3 games you seriously didn't notice this?
