This team has been built and works pretty well. The [[Battle Maison]] allows only four Pokémon for Double Battles, so switch the fourth slot among Alakazam, Mantine, and Aegislash. This team does function somewhat well when the weather is not rain, but intense sunlight is severely disruptive to its operation. Heliolisk suffers the most if the weather changes to intense sunlight; Dry Skin damages him every turn, Thunder becomes obnoxiously innacurate, and Surf loses a lot of power. When Heliolisk gets to work in rain, however, he becomes a serious threat and recovers HP very effectively through its Ability and {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, and when used next to Gastrodon, he is even more of a team player. Heliolisk and Gastrodon perform a nice combination of effects when they use Surf simultaneously; both are immune to it due to their Abilities, they are strengthened by rain, when Heliolisk uses it (because he is faster than Gastrodon), he triggers a Sp. Atk increase in Gastrodon through Storm Drain which makes her Surf more powerful, and when Gastrodon uses it, it heals one quarter of Heliolisk's HP. Surf in Rain in a Double Battle still ends up with more power than it would have in a Single Battle with non-sunny weather. {{m|Surf}} is a very important move on this team. All members of this team have to be immune to it through their Abilities (i.e. {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Storm Drain}}, {{a|Water Absorb}}, or {{a|Telepathy}}) or must be capable of protecting themselves from teammates' Surfs. Alakazam's main way of avoiding Surf from teammates is to use {{m|Roll Play}} on Heliolisk, Gastrodon (Storm Drain on Alakazam is very intimidating), Noivern, or Mantine. I have had occasional difficulty keeping Gastrodon out long enough for it to use {{m|Rain Dance}}, and there have been many times when I simply could not safely attempt to use Rain Dance because the opponent has at least one offensive {{t|Grass}}-type Pokémon on the field. For this reason, I like having Aegislash and Noivern available on the switch.
