NU Doubles

[skylight]

The article would include why doubles with just NU pokemon can be a whole different ball game to smogon doubles, what playstyles are most viable - trick room especially thanks to musharna/cradily/etc and weather can be also be quite effective for example, what pokemon are most effective - and paired with which other pokemon can they make a scary combination (going into more detail than the playstyles, which only covers a basis of what can work in said playstyles in NU doubles).

As a moderator of Other Metagames, I've never heard of NU Doubles. Is it popular? Does it have much traction? There's not really a right answer here, I'm just wondering if this article would have enough interest from the community at large to read.

it's not big yet (!) because i haven't gotten to advertising it that much, but a lot of people in nu community (mainly irc-wise) are interested in playing but don't know where to really start and i'm holding the next nu minitour based upon nu doubles later this month so it would really be fresh in people's minds at least :x

(nu doubles as a thing was brought up in the nu forum rather than other metagames btw)

Sure, then it sounds like an interesting article. Approved. Try to get this done within two weeks if you can. The sooner, the better for our GP and HTML teams.
