Welcome! The purpose of this thread is to archive successful Doubles OU teams, intended to help new players get acclimated to the metagame and different playstyles. Seeing as how gaining knowledge about teambuilding and the Doubles OU metagame in general can be hard and complicated, having a foundation to work from can prove to be very helpful. Here, you can post your own team for archiving for new Doubles players to use.
I'll be looking through all of your submissions carefully and adding the good ones to OP.

Anyone is welcome to submit a team they believe to be worthy, as long as you submit a post that contains the following:

Teams
This a pretty cool team that I've been using for quite some time. It mainly features Kangaskhan alongside Tailwind, backed up by a cool FWG core. Mega Kangaskhan is the team's strongest Attacker, and is pretty dangerous in Tailwind, especially after Power-Up Punch off. Breloom provides status for the team in the form of Spore, sleeping annoying Pokemon and neutering opposing Trick Room setters. It's notable that Breloom in Tailwind is very threatening as it can neuter almost any mon of its choosing. Suicune is the team's first Tailwind setter and bulkiest member that takes hits like a champ, and a check to the annoying Landorus-T and Heatran (and possibly Skymin if in TW). Heatran is a strong spread Special Attacker which takes out annoying Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Aegislash, as well as fully countering the ever-annoying Amoonguss. Its Substitute set pairs well with Mega Kang's Fake Out and makes Heatran really annoying along with its nifty typing and bulk. Latios is the team's second and much more offensive Tailwind setter, which also takes out Fighting-types such as Keldeo and Terrakion that threaten Mega Kangaskhan. It's worth to note that Latios is also the team's fastest non-Scarfed member. The last member, Scarf Landorus-T, provides the handy Intimidate, gives the team some Speed, and puts in good spread damage across the board with Earthquake.
The team has some decent match-ups against most teams. Against slow bulkier teams, Mega Kangaskhan, Breloom, and Heatran really put in work, while Landorus-T and Latios, and Suicune shine against faster, more Hyper-Offensive ones. Suicune is a good catch-all check to things it's not weak to type-wise, and is pretty reliable for setting Tailwind when needed as long as it stays healthy. Having a FWG core means that there's not really much the team doesn't cover. Mega Kangaskhan is an often used wincon as an already set up MKang can easily blow holes against opposing teams.
This team is cool bc it got my main acc to the Top 10 even though i only ladder when bored. Also, any team with Mega Kangaskhan is fairly representative of the metagame lol :>
