You have 2 opponents staring you down at the same time who could kill 1 of your pokemon regardless of bulk in a turn. Similar to suicide leads you have fast supports, such as Whimsicott or Thundurus, who typically are made to either beef up the partner or assist w speed control (screens by the way reduce damamge by 33% in doubles instead of 50%, which reminds me any spread move does 75% damage if hitting multiple targets even if it hits a protect). Bulky supports are also a thing but are often Trick Room pokemon. Learn speed priority on support moves and prankster Pokemon, Ally Seitch and Follow Me for example are +2 priority, Helping Hand (a godly move) is like +5. Setup leads, hyper offense with speed control, and Trick Room teams are big. Terrain wars with setters are big right now.
