I've just found myself without a lot of time. However, for those of you still thinking about teams and wondering what kind of teams to create, here's my advice. Pick a concept or a move or an ability and build your team around it. Use weather, use Trick Room or one of the Terrains, use Tailwind or Ability Swap, use Follow Me or Rage powder to let one of your Pokemon set up hassle free to switch, use Discharge and Lightning Rod/Motor Drive/Volt Absorb, or Surf and Storm Drain/Water Absorb/Dry Skin. If it's a viable concept to build a solo team around you can build a double team around it, if you think it's slightly crazy and may not work, go for it and see. My MonoElectric team was built around Discharge and those three abilities I mentioned, or you could go with other 'mons, it doesn't have to be a Monotype team. You can also just pick and choose 'mons that complement each other, covering each others weaknesses, for example in my main team I often use Genesect and Tapu Fini together, Tapu Fini threatens off the Ground and Fire type Pokemon from taking out Genesect, while Genesect can take out the Grass Pokemon which threaten Tapu Fini.
Use combination you want to use, with perhaps a little help from: https://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/formats/doubles/ and https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/usum-doubles-ou-viability-rankings.3623347/ if you're not sure and you never know, you might be able to ladder up to the top 500. I know I did.
