4x4 Double Battle Tourny Team Ecstasy Help: Cherrim or Bellossom?

[Brown]

Double Battle tournament next week at my school. 4 on 4 double battles.
The team I made is a sunny day team, a potent one at that with crazy [origional?] natures/combos. The only problem I have is Cherrim or Bellossom

Starters:

Dusknoir (Huggie) @Lefties
Impish - 252 Hp 252 Def
Sunny Day - Helping Hand (XD Traded)
Fire Punch - Shadow Sneak

Shifty (RaveSpree) @??? (power orb?)
Quiet 252 Attack 252 S. Attack
Fake Out - Solar Beam
Dark Pulse - Explosion

Pretty standard doubles lead, with a bit of a twist if you ask me.
Hugs sunny days first turn whilst Rave fliches anything that may stop me right away. Then depending on the situation I may beat down or helping hand + Explosion for the double kill, ideally. Trading my duskul from XD was brilliant, helping hand on a ghost is like, elation! O_O

Back Up:

Infernape @hoice Scarf
Brave 252 attack 252 S. Attack
Heat Wave - Close Combate
Stone Edge - Fire Blitz

It sounds silly to run two fire attacks, little lone a special attack on a clear physical attacker, but heat wave hits both opponents. Sunny Day + Helping Hand = Heat Wave Pain, ideally. So yeah. Brave ups his attack but lowers speed, but he's scarfed so I figure he'll be able to out run everything. Am I over estimating teh scarf?

Bellossom/Cherrim @Focus Sash
Modest/Timid 252 speed 252 S. Attack
B: Sleep powder - Helping Hand - Solarbeam - protect/attract
C: Protect - Helping Hand - Solarbeam - attract/grass whilstle

I don't know to either go with chrrium and give my team stat boosts or go with bellossom to be awesome stand alone. What do you guys think? Both serve the purpose of pimping their friend for the kill or spaming solar beam. Attract/Sleep moves are their for tech. as well as the protects.

because of grass whistle

I'd say Bellosom, simply because I use one and love it. It packs some good defenses for something so small and it's useful in double battles.

@Paiopa
This is very true, but cherrim gives stat boosts to both pokemon in play during sunny day. I caught a shiny cherrubi today, chained it with a timid Espeon. I think we know what I'm going to go with here x3

Ah I see. I didn't know that. What kind of stat boosts does it give though?

[Brown]

When it's sunny cherrim and cherrim's partner gain 50% more attack and special defense. Physical attack, not special. So...cherrim fails one on one, but in doubles it'll pimp all.

Chances are after Shiftry explodes I'll send cherrim out supporting Dusknoir further. Then they can help eachother out from there. Cherrim is a god *O*

Wow that's really cool. I never knew that lol. I guess that sounds like a good plan then. Good luck with it :)

Serebii and Veekun have Flower Gift down as upping Cherrim and its ally's Attack and Special Attack by 1.5 but Bulbapedia has it listed as attack/sp. def. May want to double check, just in case it would make a difference.

Poor bellosom. Is there any love for her? lol

[Brown]

I found through play testing that there is a significant difference in the amount of damage taken in by special attacks when flower gift is activated. Over all this won't majorly affect how I use cherrim because I'm mainly going after the physical bonus which both sites claim to have. Over all, I'm not sure xP

Bellossom rocks single sunny day teams ; ;

Cherrim has no shot there xD

I should really get to work on putting up this double battle I had with bellosom and spread the love lol. She's good in both situations I tell you! She may be small but she's tough. Yeah Cherrium does look cool. I'll consider trying it out one day.
