>redirection and sound-based attacks (boomburst, perish song, hyper voice, parting shot, overdrive etc.) are popular in Gen 8 Doubles
>have to run 2 specific mons that share a type (kommo-o and duraludon) to consistently counter both strategies
At least they have different weaknesses. Stalwart was a godsend and I hope that more mons get it in the future. I'll never make a Doubles team without Thunder Wave Duraludon, but the Sound moves can mostly be countered by Wide Guard or VoltTurn/Phazing for Perish Trapping. I refuse to run Shed Skin though, the thought of such a cancerous strategy causing me to run an otherwise nearly useless item makes me angry
