My friend and I like to multi battle but we are kinda tired of battling the random people with box legends and mewtwos. Please help 🙏

Recently I had some nostalgia of my Nintendo DSi, in which I had a SoulSilver cartridge (my adventure started on 6th July 2010!). I’d like to achieve 4 stars on my Trainer Card (winning 100 battles in a row at the Battle Tower) using a team of the five Eeveelutions I have trained since August 2016 (in Double Battle). I am currently using this one:
1st Lead) Jolteon (male; ability: Volt Absorb)
[item: King’s Rock, coupled with Discharge is often worth using it]
2nd Lead) Espeon (male; ability: Synchronize)
[item: Twisted Spoon, to boost Psychic’s power]
and then
[item: Charcoal, to boost Fire Fang’s not so high power]
[item: Black Glasses, to boost Dark Pulse’s power]
Feel free to suggest tips to improve the team, especially considering that it has of course some flaws, for example:
Thank you!
Is there an ability that makes it to where after the pokemon dies the opponnets pokemon get debuffed or damaged or anything? if it were killed by its teammate (2v2)
I’ve been getting back into pokemon battles and my fav mon and set was the belly drum snorlax set but I was wondering since togakiss is banned now is it still viable?

With Mighty Emboar, anyone?
Does anyone play multi battles?
Hello Can My fellow trainers give me a review on my content! My channel is @ RelicsongRickstar
Hey everyone, I’ve been wanting to try out competitive double battling but I need help with my team. I’ve been struggling because no matter what generation I’m in, I always have half my team weak to fighting or ground types! Also I know paradox Pokémon like Iron Hands and Flutter Mane can give you a run for your money. But here’s what I have so far and I’d appreciate some help!
-Incineroar
Nature: adamant or jolly
Ability: intimidate
Tera type: water
Held item: Sitrus berry
Moves: Fake out Darkest Larait Flare blitz Knock off
Meowscarada
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Overgrow
Tera type: fairy
Held item: Muscle band/heavy duty boots/miracle seed? (Boost flower trick)
Moves: Flower trick U turn Play rough Toxic spikes
Sylveon
Nature: modest
Ability: pixilate
Tera type: fairy
Held item: unknown
Moves: Hyper voice Calm mind Light screen Hyper beam?
I also wish to include Terapagos, Ceruledge, and another Mon that I really don’t know for now… but I haven’t planned that far. I wanted to ask my friend about this but I feel like he’d honestly bash me (and create a team against me as we battle each other often). I want to know if this is the right direction. I’d like to go far in comp so I need all the help I can get. I feel like this team might seem pretty mediocre which is WHY I’m asking for help. Thank you!
I’m looking to battle in sword/shield or scarlet/violet.
The rules are simple: normal battle, only 1 legendary, and each member of the team must have 1 of the 2 types we get by a wheel spin (3 per type)
It will be single or double battle based on what we decide. Comment below if interested
Cause these bot/npcs on my team are just so bad. Four fighting moves on Lucario, really?
I just remembered that there's online battles in Pokémon Violet and went online to get my butt whooped by legendary escape and tactics such as Justified Cobalion with Whimsicott's fury swipes for a one turn sweep in Doubles.
I'm tired after my 5th loss in a row.
My team sucks and I need help building a team with NO legendaries and it must have my favorite Pokémon Torterra! SMOGON told me the best builds but it doesn't tell me the best teams for doubles with Torterra!
Can I get help here?
