introduction
soooo.. double dragon imho is one of the most rewarding playstyles.. big predictions.. big swings.. bigger numbers. i havent rlly played since like ORAS OU and i think OU has might have progressed passed some of these ancient paradigms, but it's a bunch of fun in uu. i havent been able to peak as high as before, but this current build can at least get you into the 1500s so that's something. think of this as a proof of concept rather than a big ol' finished product.
ok so the thought process behind team building has always been the same for me. start off with a pair of game-warping physical sweepers that can wear down each other's checks and counters. because of the high speed tier in this format, i don't think you can build something without your centerpiece having priority.soooo.. double dragon imho is one of the most rewarding playstyles.. big predictions.. big swings.. bigger numbers. i havent rlly played since like ORAS OU and i think OU has might have progressed passed some of these ancient paradigms, but it's a bunch of fun in uu. i havent been able to peak as high as before, but this current build can at least get you into the 1500s so that's something. think of this as a proof of concept rather than a big ol' finished product.
ok so my first building block in this format was obviously azu. during the first round of construction, i initially paired azu with mamoswine, but that mf too slow and can't clean efficiently enough w/o a dance move. so from here i had to rlly think hard. bd azu obv rlly struggles with fast mons that resist aqua jet.. these being like my mans mence, 200+ speed scizor, and that mf tapu-bulu. so i think instead of like trying too hard to pair azu with another elite complimentary "dragon," u should just pair that mf with another certified tm beast crawdaunt.
crawdaunt smacks the heck out of resists, but u can sack this mf easily. always trade up. 1 for 1 with advantage is elite.
so the glue mons are rlly cool. scarf thundurus outspeeds like the whole format, just keep rocks at bay. yah also this team doesn't run rocks, i dont think it makes any meaningful difference calc wise, but u can slap it on metagross if ur mom wont let u leave the house without rocks. moltres checks the dudes that threaten the water guys, just beware the scarf bulu stone edge and ur cool.
the last two dudes are the team's namesake. rotom-w and metagross are wild. go ahead and trick them mf scarfs everywhere. rlly turns unwinnable situations into freebies. metagross over rachi just cause of BP tbh

ok so onto the namesakes. these guys raise the roof! fl!p that scarf onto the most obnoxious stuff. you can enable a lot of bd and sd sweeps that arent normally there. this is the standard rotom spread. the biggest tip i would give is to keep on tricking.. take eviolites and give em to hydreigons and stuff.

just like rotom go ahead and give way to the loona merch. anything for the all kill. this guys is better than rachi because of bullet punch, but kind of worse in every other way. make sure u calc ur stuff becuase bp isn't very strong. this guy is ur check to that damn scarf bulu. like i said u can slap rocks on this guy i just personally am rocks-phobic.
ty for coming hope u enjoyed. stay safe. love and peace on planet earth.
