1. Pick an ace 2. Pick support for the ace 3. Cover your ace's weakness 4. Get a secondary sweeper 5. Train good stats, abilities and moves I might have to watch this a couple more times, but that's what I've gathered so far.

[@THATSAplusONE]

[@joshuamelendez5596]

Hey THATSA, hope you're doing well. Just wanted to let you know that it was this kind of videos that brought me to your channel back in Series 12 Sword and Shield and Have not missed one TeamBuilding guide. Love this content and I will support it 100%. It really helps me out since I'm beggining into Casual VGC so really appreciate it. Also, great, great video. Super thorough with everything. Really learned a lot. Keep up the great work We love it.

[@lancewren6870]

Super informative. I really appreciate seeing your thought process as you team build. Great teachers don't just tell you what to do, but teach you how to think critically and problem solve.

[@THATSAplusONE]

Thats the idea!

[@sirsilco]

Brilliant and in depth way of showing people how to build a team, especially with all the nuances that can turn a close loss into a definitive win. I've watched your matches with this team and it is poetry in motion. Watching you roll TR teams is so satisfying.

[@AtnasMagic]

Dude!! ❤ Thank you so much for this vid! I’ve recently started to try out competitive and I have been watching quite some guides and tutorials on team building. NONE has come close to how helpful and crisp this vid is. Your way of going through step by step WITHOUT over explaining but still explaining the basics so much as AOE, Trick room, and the effect of items is sooo helpful to figure out how your train of thoughts could/should be when building teams. I feel so much more confident and calm trying out to build myself now!

[@THATSAplusONE]

Happy to hear you liked it! This vid is pretty old but the mechanics I reviewed in the order I did them still hold up in todays game. You could seriously still go win on the ladder and get to master ball with the team I showed in this video

[@joshiemann]

Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. This will be my first season getting into competitive Pokémon and team building has been one of the most daunting aspects. This really broke down the process in a way that is easy to follow for someone who doesn’t know all the Pokémon and moves that could come your way

[@THATSAplusONE]

Happy to help! Thank you for watching!

[@Lusitano9514]

Dude let me just say a very heartfelt thank you for making and sharing this video, I'm definitely going to use your team building process to make a few of my own as I am still learning how to make the most optimal EV spreads for my pokemon and make them all cover for one another when paired up together ❤ thank you so much you legend!! Keep this stellar content coming! 💪🏼🔥

[@mooncarrotarts261]

Dude THANK YOU. This is 100% the content I've been needing in my life since getting started with competitive Pokemon. You explained so much why instead of just the how...thank you so much!

[@THATSAplusONE]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@CronoKadabra]

Really appreciate you breaking down the approach to team-building. Really helps a lot to understand step by step, especially when you put all together in the end and break down your reasoning for EV spreads. Great vid! Thank you! For me personally, I just wish I had the time to build these individual mons in-game.

You got yourself a new subscriber, nice to see some new content creators for competitive pokemon. Good info, I’ve been trying to get into competitive for a while and this one video showed me the mistakes in my mindset when it comes to team building. Thank you

[@THATSAplusONE]

Happy to help!

[@alexo5577]

It was really interesting to see your thought process on how to build a team. You hinted at a couple of more advanced considerations such as making the opponent respect Murkrow and then being able to punish them for respecting Murkrow so much. Based on all the good energy you have, I think it would be really interesting to see more videos like this. Another interesting team building approach I was wondering about was building around a natural synergy that two or more mons have. This build was focused on making Garchomp shine, and it was cool to see synergy flow from natural considerations, but I am curious about what it may be like to build around a pair of Pokémon with synergy. Thanks for the great content!

[@Liorpiano1]

Thank you for this guide! I always try to cover my other mons weakness. What I wasn't doing is working on building roles for my team.

[@mattb1100]

I built this as my first competitive team because I had no idea how to start. Thank you. Having a solid place to start allowed me to learn a ton about the game and gain confidence in doubles. I knew garchomp was a good place to start as a noob since he is fast and hits hard. Thanks for all the information. Watching it again and already picking up even more info than before. I have the admit as a noob I don't seem to be very good at using murkrow and I keep hesitating to bring him because basically anything one shots him. I know it's because I'm such a noob that I don't appreciate him enough but I really don't understand tailwind use and tailwind technicalities yet.

[@THATSAplusONE]

This team is pretty dated now but still kinda holds up. If you are getting more than a 50% win rate with it you are doing great.

[@THATSAplusONE]

Thank you for watching!

[@justsomejojo]

This is great. I shifted from Singles to VGC at the start of SwSh and had ONE really successful team that was a half fluke, because my gameplan just happened to break a lot of comps. But because I never quite got the technique behind it, once the meta shifted and my team didn't work anymore, I had a really hard time finding anything new that worked for me. Teambuilding for Doubles is just really hard for me, turns out. This is the first guide I found that goes this indepth into the thought processes. Here's hoping that'll help me build better teams! Another thing is that I'm a little too attached to using some of my favorites, which makes it a tad harder. I'm not sure Lokix and Glimmora can do well in VGC (so far, Glimmora was a grwat nuke, but that's it). Oh well.

I've tried to get into competitive a few times but never really understood some of the finer details and this vid and a few others I've watched after stumbling across your channel such as the how you take notes vid have really helped! If you do end up doing more of these vids could you maybe explain weather teams or break one down and I also really want to use amoongus but I'm not sure what mons to build around that either. So anything on that would be really helpful if you get the chance. Thanks for the easy to understand vids I think I may actually get into competitive this time!

[@THATSAplusONE]

[@OctavianGaius]

Great Video, I learned a lot. Especially at the end with EVs and Moves. The beginning part was a bit harder to follow, cause the video assumed you just know what pokemon are good for certain roles and used lots of terms like "Dive Buddy" and such which I am assuming most people know, but as a new player I was lost. Like I feel you selected those first 6 pokemon way quicker than any person trying to replicate this as a beginner would be able to do. I hope in your next video like this, you spend more time going through the indepth decisions around those first 6.

[@THATSAplusONE]

I based the first 6 off defensive typing!

[@1420ify]

Hey! Thanks!!

[@matthewmarsh1584]

Great video, would love one of these for 3v3!

[@HannonJK]

This was a great video very well detailed, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you climb ladder with this team. As far as another video like this I'd love to see your take on a rain dance team in this gen, with the lack of popular pokemon like ludicolo and kingdra and Mega swampert, I myself have been struggling to find the right pieces to build a successful team. If you could do a Team building guide for Rain Dance that maybe includes Scizor or doesn't either way I'd be grateful.

[@THATSAplusONE]

I’ll let you know right now I’d probably use Drednaw.

[@GamerXpertHD]

This video was incredible would love to know what the next step is in terms of iterating through a team Vs throwing it out I have a team but I always seem to tinker with it than stay with it and learn to readjust to certain things in the meta - a video about this supplemented with everything done so far would be incredible, thank you

[@THATSAplusONE]

What do you mean? This is pretty much everything you need to know for team building.

[@GamerXpertHD]

@@THATSAplusONE I agree however as the meta develops and continues to grow ideas and changes to the team will be necessary in the future would love to see how you take an initial team and then make reasonable adjustments like right now there's a lot of steel, poison and fire tera Hydreigon running about. For a beginner this video was great but I know that sometimes you need to make adjustments would love to know how you would adjust given teams or maybe a team spotlight you go over teams your viewers made and why they may struggle or be ineffective

[@nobody13darkness32]

I made this team and from 0% wining to 80% really great tutorial

[@THATSAplusONE]

This guide is really dated too. Happy to hear it still works!

[@MrCZ666]

This was very well explained, I like how you went into detail with the "lead" mon and how to build around it not just have it. My question is would you use the same EV spread on an Eviolite Murkrow or would they be spread different with different attacks?

[@THATSAplusONE]

It would be a completely different set
