Shock Therapy - Mixed

[Zen]

A while back, it turned out Sigmund and I were using similar strategies for electric monotypes in doubles and triples matches. Naturally, this called for more experimentation.

The end result was a team made for doubles, which had the potential of being equivalent to those monotypes, for the same basic concept.

Now, the original team used Discharge to simultaneously power up both of the flanking pokemon. However, this was only possible if the Discharge-user outsped the opponents, or if the starting line-up could withstand a minor beating.

Here, Prankster with Thunder Wave may help to work around that. By utilising priority and Motor Drive, it may be possible to gain the speed boosts faster. Fake Out on raichu helps, also.

Can be quite creative with this one, really - it's a rather flexible concept.

im not understanding their role in you team mostly because i do not play doubles and not many people here do either. Might help if you added some discription and some pictures
