Welcome to the new* Doubles Ubers, now updated for USUM! Unlike past game releases, the Dubers meta really hasn't changed much this time around, but maybe you'll use our existing tools to make something new?
Doubles Ubers is a 6v6 doubles format with no Pokemon banned, including Mega Rayquaza. Otherwise, it mirrors most clauses from Doubles OU, such as Species and Evasion. You can play Dubers on Pokemon Showdown, usually through the Doubles Ubers ladder. You can also ask for challenges in the Smogon Doubles room for battles with experienced players. Feel free to discuss dubers in this thread, the Smogon Doubles room, or the #dubers channel on the Doubles Discord.

>>Tier 1<<
Pokemon that dominate a large portion of the metagame. They are either quite powerful or offer great team support, and can fit on almost any team. You can't really go wrong by using these Pokemon.
>>Tier 2<<
Pokemon that are generally strong and can easily be placed on a variety of teams, but don't have the same level of prowess as the threats in Tier 1.
>>Tier 3<<
Pokemon which have broad applications on a variety of teams but are simply less effective than the Pokemon in the higher tiers. This also includes Pokemon which, while good, only fit on a specific team style or require heavy support but are still stronger than Pokemon in the tiers below.
>>Tier 4<<
Pokemon that can only serve a specific role not needed by most teams, but can still perform excellently.
