Here is my first Double Battle since the Isle of Armor update, and there are some Pokémon they added they are good in Double Battles as well as Single Battles, the Talonflame that I use on the team is the same one I used on my Single Battles team, except I adjusted her moves to suit Double Battles better.
For Talonflame's moves, she has Dual Wingbeat, while Brave Bird has higher power, Dual Wingbeat hits two times, and it can be good against any opponents, specially those that have a Focus Sash equipped, and I find that using Dual Wingbeat is better than using Brave Bird in most situations, and she has Tailwind to gain speed control over the opponent.
Then onto Krookodile, and Intimidate is the better Ability for Double Battles, although I did come across a Krookodile that had Anger Point, and my opponent in that fight had an Unfezant with Night Slash, and I believe it had a Scope Lens and Super Luck for the Ability, and the strategy was to maximize Krookodile's Attack and sweep, and even if the battle went well, disconnection happened.
To go over Krookodile, this Pokémon got so many move upgrades, for Double Battles, Krookodile can get High Horsepower, which mine has, so that way she has a single target Ground-type move, and she has Lash Out, a Dark-type move that doubles in power if the user's stats were lowered during that turn, and it can be really powerful if you know how to use it. Some other good moves Krookodile got in this game include Close Combat and Darkest Lariat, so those are some great improvements to it.
While I did have Lapras and Alakazam for that fight, I will give Lapras more chances in later fights, and for Alakazam, this one is specially designed to fight in Psychic Terrain, as she has Expanding Force, and when Psychic Terrain is active, Expanding Force's power doubles and it will hit both targets, and with Alakazam's high Special Attack stat, that will deal some heavy damage.
For my opponent's team, it did look to be a Sun team with Torkoal and Venusaur, but my opponent did have a Tyranitar, which from what I have read has dropped to UU in the competitive scene due to how common Fighting-type moves have become, and that a larger variety of Physical attackers have Close Combat as a coverage option, but at least Tyranitar had its time as a top-tier Pokémon since Gen 2.
