Introduction
Hiya y'all, teach here with another doublade team! I can't include the image I want to in this thread so I'll just describe it in the title :). Anyways, I wanted to build around doublade and really liked Terrakion as a breaker to setup a Doublade sweep, since they have shared checks in Lando/Tpex/Skarmory/Garchomp, all of which Terrakion could kill or chip a LOT. Anyway, without further ado enjoy :)
This was my starting core, Clefable/Doublade is a really good defensive core that complimented my Terrakion I was building around. Doublade checked Scizor/Mega Pinsir/Bulu/Mega Cham/etc.
Having a really obvious Ground-type weakness, I slapped on Tapu Bulu for the additional recovery on Clefable/Doublade and also the reduced EQ damage for Terrakion/Doublade.
Zygarde and Flyinium Z Lando-T were looking really annoying, so I decided to use Phys Def Ferrothorn to reliably check those mons. Also gave us a backup check to Non-HP Fire + Gunk Shot Greninjas and Mega Pert should my Clef get flinched.
Noticing a really bad Heatran weakness should they EP on the Terrakion switch-in, I threw on a Gliscor which thankfully let me also compress a Defogger into one slot!

The Mon we're building around, so obviously it'll be up her@eht first. Stall Destroyer with a Spike up, Balance Wrecker after an SD or Rock Polish. The Goat. 16 HP EVs let use live a +1 Giga Drain from Volcarona, assuming we somehow let it setup for free. This gives us a nice offensive check for Bisharp which is really nice considering our Defogger lets it setup.

Clefable was my rocker of choice, just to have something to bring in Heatran/Chansey to bring in Terrakion. Also thankfully checks Mega Lopunny who would otherwise shit on this squad. I'm running Thunder Wave as a throwback to ORAS, para those Heatran and Volcaronas giving us a form of speed control without needing a scarfer :).

Since we had two good Lando-T switch-ins and a good Zapdos switch in, I opted to run this Doublade set featuring no Toxic to better handle Mega Cham; we still beat Lucha/Bulu with SD and Sneak. The EVs let us live 2 Earthquakes from Excadrill and kill with double claw -> Sneak, only useful when your Doublade checks literally nothing

This mon fucking deletes shit, it fucking 2HKOs Amoonguss on the switch with Stone Edge; its legit nutty and I'm glad that it, typing wise, meshed well with this team! Use Banded Bulu

If you've looked at any of my old RMTs, you'd knkow this is a very NOT teachable Pokemon. It looks more like it is though when you get to my fourth moveslot ft. Thunder Wave. s/o to EviGaro . Anyways, this is my check for Flyinium Lando-T, Zygarde, and Non-Superpower Mega Pert. Its pretty good and hopefully I can use this mon more often.

Probably the best Defog user in the tier after Scarf Lando and Zapdos. Gives me the literal mandatory switchin for Koko T-bolt, and gives me a way to kill it should it wish to stay in and trade. Ice Fang was used over Knock Off to give me a good check for Lando-T and opposing Gliscors.
Anyways, shout out to my honey lovely eht and then my mom EviGaro for basically being my teambuilding cheerleaders and helping me out so much. Also s/o to Jordy and the OU/RU discords. The one change I've considered is Banded Bulu -> Spdef Synth Bulu and then turn Ferro into Scarf Kartana, freeing up Gliscor to be the SD set but I'm not sure if that'd be better than my current build. I've improved a lot with OU teambuilding, so I'm really happy with this squad :).
