I'm in need of help desperately. I've always been good at pokemon, and always loved it. I know well about how to train pokemon, the EVs, the natures, the type advantages, the items, move sets, everything, but throughout my damn obsession of pokemon, I've somehow been equal to the rookies , the ones who have no strategy, who know nothing about EV's, the ones who have all single type moves in their move set, who have the same pokemon I do with weaker stats, as if there's some force in the programing that prevents me from rising through the ranks.
I see people with the same team I had before, with the same strategy as I once had, a strategy that somehow thrashes my team, but thrashes none when I'm in control. I don't mind being beaten, but when I have to waste a month and a half developing a well thought out team that always fails in the end, I get pissed, and there's no way I'm going to quit, I've been playing since pokemon first came out, and I've always enjoyed it until now because of these very reasons.
Quitting now would be like throwing away my childhood. For those of you wondering, yea, I take pokemon so seriously that it became obvious to myself. I always looked down upon using other peoples ideas. I always thought it was cheating because you use other peoples brain and not your own, but my anger has come to a point where I don't even care anymore. That's why I have to swallow my pride and ask the public for a world class team of pokemon that will be a b***h to take down. Yes, I know there's no such thing as a perfect team, one will always be better than the other, but I'm looking for a team that will not fall every battle, a team that will shatter peoples hopes. (again, I take pokemon too seriously)
And so I ask the public to give me the ultimate team ideas for both single and double battles, preferably double battles. I don't want basic teams: I want teams that come straight from the masters, the pokemon freaks, the champions of the state. If you are not good at forming teams, I beg that you can alert someone who you think can help. I'm not asking to do this for free: I know that it is a long and brain racking process to thing of even a decent team, I've been through it many times before.
I will pay you in any way you want me to as long as it's possible. A favor, gaia gold, information trade, I can offer a lot to those with the best ideas.
I am not discouraging people if they don't think their ideas are godly, I want to hear any and all ideas, perhaps they will give me my own ideas, but I won't be able to give out as big of a reward.
To be specific, I want the pokemons name, its move set, item held, how many EVs of each stat you would put on it, it's nature, and an explanation of how your strategy would work (example, a double battle rain dance team, simply state how each pokemon can work together and how what you did in the past turn can effect a future switched out pokemon)
That is my story, that is my plea. Please help me, I don't want to be pissed off anymore, it's not fun playing pokemon at all this way, so please spread the word and help me in any way possible.
**I'm not asking for entire teams, just really good team ideas.

Originality it´s only the time it takes to be copied in any sence possible...
I wouldn´t care that much about my team being copied or not... you may just have crossed on the point everyone did... "most pokémon are way to especific" when it comes to their uses... STAB moves, high speed, low speed, support, attack...
Let´s be honest... either you adapt... or you don´t... so in the same sence you leave or you don´t

You lack spirit then if you are just going to quit when there is a roadblock. The only thing currently stopping you is your own self you must transcend your humanity and take on the Dark Hadou.

As long as Han Juri is used on the youtube videos Im happy...
And never argued that though... he may just be a bit desesperated to found himself un-able to beat people online... and yes we all have faced the almighty HAX... but with the worst luck there is Im still able to win more than lossing...
It´s a matter of "how to deal with it" to which he must find his own answer, not ask for help like this...
We can be happy as to provide suggestions and such, not make a whole team for you sweatdrop

@ Serge and Kunx - You both appear to have missed what he said. He isn't quitting, just asking for help; which from his explaination, is something he hardly ever does due to personal pride reasons.
@ Leo - Before helping, I really rather have the person asking for help set down a base as to what they want out of thier team (more specifically) and particularly, who they want to use. Everyone has thier own personal favorite Pokemon and that personality should show in every team you use.

Work on counters to teams, work on maxing stats of a sweeper or a wall. Work on your confidence man. Nothing makes a person fail more than low self confidence. You gotta us your own Belly Drum and attack this problem with more strategies. Think outside the box. Better yet, disect the box til its only in shreds. I'm pretty much a rookie myself but all you need is self confidence and some help from outside your own mind. It's like RL school, you never learn for real if someone else doesnt teach you. Yeah the websites give advice but sometimes being taught by more than those helps >.< Get actual opinions rather than just a suggestion from bulbapedia or serebii >.< Bulk up and Volt tackle this man. It's not like you can read all things possible and teach yourself >.< like Ky said, you gotta give a base to your team, give a pokemon a role in it, and then they will possibly help you with move sets and EV training for it.

Like what Serge said, I'm not going to build the team for you, but just to get the ball rolling around here, this is a rather interesting Double Battle combo that I've played with before with moderate success.
Kingdra @ Wet Rock Nature: Modest Ability: Swift Swim EVs: 252 Special Attack, 242 HP, 16 Speed ~ Rain Dance ~ Surf ~ Ice Beam ~ Dragon Pulse
Toxicroak @ Black Sludge Nature: Jolly Ability: Dry Skin EVs: 252 Attack, 240 Speed, 18 HP ~ Substitute ~ Focus Punch ~ Sucker Punch ~ Stone Edge
Despite what most might be thinking, Toxicroak won't go down easily in Double Battles. Dry Skin (w/ Rain Dance + Surf) + Black Sludge = at least 3/8 HP recovery a turn. So you can Substitute up and pretty much get healed immediately. Kingdra's Surf doesn't mess up Croak's Focus Punch thanks to Dry Skin, making this a fairly safe Focus+Sub combo benefiting from STAB. Kingdra shouldn't need very many Speed EVs as it will outspeed the majority of the metagame with Swift Swim in effect and if Kingdra kills one of the opponents, then Toxicroak will be able to get off his Focus Punch without worrying about being ganged up on.
