You would be better off with Pika probably. It is very hard to play doubles with Diddy, he is a very 1v1 type character. IDK what your skill level is though because you are new here. Pika would be better to start. If you feel confident with Diddy later, than try it out.

Doubles is tricky for Diddy since he requires space to truly work his magic. A character with a strong air game and ability to kill would be nice for him. Maybe Wario

Metaknight, g&w, or snake. DDD sometimes works but it depends on the matchups, whereas wario I don't like so much because he can't always fight mk up close.

The answer to your question is "Anyone that can successfully fight MK and not get gimped". Let's see, that includes hmm........ MK, Kirby, Snake, Pit, Wario. Now there are other characters, but they are less efficient. My personal favorite team mates include Pit and Wario. Pit because on Final Destination (or any stage) Diddy and Pit together can setup a bulwark that canNOT be broken. A wall of arrows, peanuts, bananas, and mirror shields stop and deflect anything. So those two can sit back and camp the entire time with success. Wario is good on Diddy's team because of his power and air mobility. With Wario's air speed and Diddy's ground speed they can set up these moving zones where it isn't safe to jump or walk along the ground. I like DDD and Diddy, but only Diddy can stop metaknight from taking over the stage. If there are 2 metaknights, DDD will subcumb to all that speed and Diddy will get hit just trying to save him. Double Diddy is "ok" BUT only if they both are good at fighting with out bananas. The recommended strategy for them , have one spam while the other fights. This team is mainly for fun though, cause they both have the same weaknesses. Another personal favorite is Snake. His killing power compliments your combo ability and if he knows how to use bananas and you know how to use grenades then winning is cake.

Those 2 clips show decent wario / diddy team play.

Fixed it for Ya ;)
I think Kirby would be good as well. Good Air game. Great killing power. Also getting Diddy's ability will help him by giving him a projectile. Also Kirby could help Unlike Wario by saving Diddy off-stage(Well I guess Wario could do it. But Kirby can do it better.) Only problem would be that both are pretty light-weight.

tricks diddy can do are quite numerous :D
if you have a teammate with a powerfull smash, he can grab an enemy, force a ground release from where you trip him and he gets a smash :)
or basically whatever comes to mind will true combo from a nana XD

Dance to express, not impress!
i would think that anyone with a strong air game would compliment diddy because he controls the ground so well. i think snake and diddy would only get in each other`s way unless they had some bomb-*** synergy. MK, kirby, wario, game and watch would be my choice
