New Metagame: LC Doubles

[sandragon13]

I had an idea the other day for a new metagame, one that combines the formatting from two of the more popular playstyles:  Little Cup and standard Doubles.  Basically, it would have all the same restrictions as the Smogon Little Cup format, as listed here,, just with a 2v2 format rather than 1v1.  This is easily playable on Showdown, too.  I'd be curious to see how this would affect the existing LC metagame; perhaps bringing some currently peripheral Pokemon into prominence because of access to certain useful Doubles strategies (Friend Guard/Follow Me/Helping Hand Cleffa?  Beat Up Cottonee+Justified Growlithe?)  It also helps control some of the more dominant offensive Pokemon in the LC meta, like Archen and Abra, by making them potentially take 2 attacks each time they enter play.  Like most doubles metagames like VGC, I anticipate this playstyle to be highly offensive, but would also place significance on bulky Pokemon that can provide support (Heal Pulse Slowpoke?). Conversely, offensively inclined Pokemon get access to powerful methods to boost their destructive power, like Helping Hand auto-weather.

What do you guys think?
