I'm new to VGC Doubles – Trying to Build Around Hisuian Decidueye
hello! I’m pretty new to VGC, so I know I’m not building or playing optimally yet—mainly here to get advice and improve.
The idea behind this team is honestly pretty simple: I really like Hisuian Decidueye’s design, so I wanted to build a team around it. On top of that, I also ended up shaping the team around a shiny Palafin I randomly found while scouting, so that definitely influenced some of my choices as well.
Same goes for most of the other Pokémon here—I just picked stuff I like and tried to make it work together.
I’ve been testing different versions (Trick Room with Hatterene, then Gardevoir, and now Talonflame for Tailwind), and this is where I’ve landed for now.
The team feels decent, but I’m not sure if it’s actually solid or if I’m just getting by. I feel like I struggle if I lose speed control, and some matchups feel really rough—but I can’t tell if that’s a team issue or just me misplaying.
I’m not trying to go full meta, but I do want to make this as strong and consistent as possible while keeping my boy Decidueye on the team.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
