[Pokémon TCG Live] Matchmaking Issues
We are aware of an ongoing issue affecting matchmaking for some players.
The team is currently investigating this issue and will provide an update once we have more to information share.
Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
I have a pretty solid Champions Double Battles team

Since your strategy is to overwhelm your opponent with sheer offence with Earthquake and then strong Fire / Flying / Ice attacks to hurt Ground resistances (Grass, Bug, Flying), you should make that Chompers as strong as you can. Whether that's with Soft Sand or Life Orb or Garchompite (which having Sandstorm up would also help with Mega Garchomp's Sand Force)… And you can boost Chompers with Helping Hand or Coaching, both of which Hawhawhaw can learn.

But you have to set up the conditions first, then you sweep.

My team basically just relies on my Raichu and my Hisuian Arcanine, Spark and Leopold, to just deal lots of damage UNLESS I see a Ground type on their team. Then I open with Mimi and Snowy (Mimikyu and Alolan Ninetales). My kind of backup members are a Dusk Form Lycanroc (for reasons that I don't understand. Mostly for Poison types) and Sylveon (who uses a load of nonsense that I came up with one day and it somehow actually works).
