Teams used for Double Battles

[pkmn Trainer Zach]

I am a big fan of 2 vs. 2 battles. It's a nice, welcome alternative from the already great style of single-battling. I would like to become more skilled in this field, however most of the people on NetBattle only use Single Battle teams. Also, Smogon's Pokédex (which is one of the best there is, and my personal favorite) does not have any strategies for Double Battles.

I play Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness often, and I am having a bit of toruble, suprisingly enough to me, in the Orre Collosseum. I think the Collosseum is a great way for Trainers to find out what works and what doesn't in 2 vs. 2. So far I have defeated Cipher Admins Lovrina and Snattle, but am having a heck of a time trying to defeat the Trainers in Gorigan's challenge.

My current XD Team is posted below. PLEASE give your suggestions and tips!

Note: I made my team out of Pokémon who's Natures were beneficial. I started another game so that I could have Pokémon that are more in tune with each other. Anyway, without further delay, here is my current XD team used for the Orre Collosseum:

In double battles you can use you Dragonite and Tyranitar, you can even use Earthquake if the person/people your going agaist dosen't have any flying types out.
