I don't know much about doubles teambuilding, so any help is appreciated.

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy

Ability: Multiscale

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Adamant Nature

- Roost

- Thunder Punch

- Dragon Dance

- Extreme Speed
I use Dragonite because he's my favorite Pokemon, he's tanky, and he hits super hard.


Shuckle @ BrightPowder

Ability: Sturdy

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def

Calm Nature

- Power Split

- Guard Split

- Stealth Rock

- Sticky Web
I wanna use shuckle because he's my 2nd favorite Pokemon, he has sticky web, rocks, and he can guard split and power split with other mons to raise their defense, and lower opponents attack.


Togekiss @ Leftovers

Ability: Serene Grace

EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 8 SpA / 36 SpD

Bold Nature

- Tailwind

- Follow Me

- Roost

- Air Slash
Togekiss is the bulkiest user of follow me, tailwind is great for Dragonite, and air slash hax

Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry

Ability: Huge Power

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD

Adamant Nature

- Soak

- Waterfall

- Play Rough

- Scald
Azumarill is a heavy hitter, and I thought soak would go great with Dragonite thunder punch.

Cofagrigus @ Black Glasses

Ability: Mummy

EVs: 248 HP / 92 Def / 8 SpA / 160 SpD

Calm Nature

- Hex

- Haze

- Will-O-Wisp

- Power Split
I like cofagrigus because of mummy, but if it weren't for Will o wisp and the fact I already trained one, I probably wouldn't use it.


Gyarados @ Life Orb

Ability: Intimidate

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD

Adamant Nature

- Earthquake

- Roar

- Crunch

- Stone Edge
And finally, gyarados is awesome because intimidate, which is why I'm not using its mega.

I realize there's no mega, but I couldn't find anyone to replace without losing something. So yea, all over the place. Like I said, any and all help is appreciated.
 
Your team has a major weakness to electric-type attacks.
Gyarados takes x4 damage. Both Azumarill and Togekiss take x2 damage.

Dragonite -> Get ride of roost since you're running an offensive set. Dragon claw or Outrage are better moves and they both get stab. Dragon claw if you're afraid of Fairy-type switch-ins or Outrage if you prefer the destructive power.

I prefer Fire Punch over Thunder Punch too because it takes care of steel-type 'mons.

Azumarill -> Soak isn't really viable imo. If the person is expecting an electric-type move (and of course they will after you use a move to turn a Pokemon into a water-type, cause it'll make no sense otherwise), they'll just switch out. Not to mention that Azumarill is slow, so you'll have to depend on the next hit to do some damage if anything (higher risk).

Also, you're running a physical set so get rid of Scald.

Gyarados -> Roar on this thing is a waste. Roar is better suited for walls to get rid of Pokemon that set up on you. Life orb on a defensive Gyarados isn't something I'd recommend either.
 
Give your self a tanky ground with a mega evo (Tyranatar).

Still good against electric and can use ground moves.

But still one of the Pokemon with the most weaknesses, making it's mega a huge waste! Assault Vest Tyranitar is FAR better!

You take Tyranitar and give it an Assault Vest! Simple as that! Assault Vest multiplies your Special Defense by x1.5 and the Sand Stream ability starts a sandstorm, which multiplies it by another x1.5, meaning you get a x2.25 multiplier in your Special Defense and, with some EV investment, it can survive even Focus Blast from Mega Mewtwo Y or Moonblast from Geomancy Xerneas!

i like your idea of that but for azumarill kinda is his tank here and most of his pokemon fall under the wall side other than an execption for gyrados and i guess dragonite, i would say switch either the Gyrados or Dragonite out for (and though being biased here im js) a Garchomp, as you will cover your electric weakness with his Ground typing and Eq, but for switching out pokemon definitely either the gyrados for a Choice scarf Garchomp or the Dragonite with Mega Garhomp, but then you will have a giant weakness to fairy in which i suggest if u go with the scarfed Garchomp switch out either the shuckle (my opinion here again because i can never look at a shuckle as a competitive pokemon as its just a huge staller) or cofagrigus for an assult vest bisharp as it will replace one of them with another tank and with iron head can tackle down fairy types while taking a moon blast like it was nothing
