Hey everybody!

I've been playing competitively for awhile now but i recently started getting into doubles and I'm awful. What are the basics of team building in doubles? what strategies should I be looking to use?

I didn't think i would be this clueless about the meta game, so any help would be appreciated thank you!

For refrence lets say i would like to build a team using a good doubles mega. I don't know which ones are "good"!
 
If you're looking for an idea on what mons are good, http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/doubles-ou-viability-rankings.3535930/ this thread gives you a very good idea.

Getting into doubles can be p hard but the best I can suggest is a lot of practice and teambuilding. It becomes easier to get accustomed to the metagame when you know what all of the mons do. Look at replays from the circuit tournament we host, the Seasonals, to get an idea of good team structure, cores and play; something that helped me a ton as a newer player was trying to figure out what a player in a given replay would do and if you were wrong, try to understand why. http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/battling-101.42/ Battling 101, Smogon's tutoring program, will be open for signups next Friday if you want 1 on 1 help from some of the better players in the tier.

Good luck!
