Who Ya Gonna Call?
I thought I'd post another rain team. here it is.
Changes in BOLD.
Politoed @Leftovers
Sassy
Drizzle
248Hp, 204Sp.Def, 56Def
-Scald
-Toxic
-Protect
-Hypnosis
Now a StallToed Scald does average damage and can burn,
Toxic and Protect lets me out-stall my opponent, and
Hypnosis is because of the fact that everyone hates getting their pokemon
put to sleep.Politoed is a staple in my team, because of drizzle. Really it's because no other non-uber
poke has drizzle. But don't tell Politoed that.
Metagross @Life Orb
Adamant
Clear Body
252Atk, 252Spe, 4Hp
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Agility
Metagross is one of my physical sweepers, and has earned his spot on this team.
Moveset is optimized for increased coverage, and Agility gives me a speed
boost.
Scizor @Focus Sash
Adamant
Technician
252Atk, 252Spe, 4Hp
-Bug Bite
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Swords Dance
Scizor works very well in rain, what with fire being weakened and all. We all
know this moveset, so I'm not going to talk about it forever. Although, I will mention that sash has saved Scizor's life countless times,
and that it boosts his potential as a revenge killer.
Ferrothorn @Leftovers
Relaxed
Iron Barbs
252Hp, 64Def, 194Sp.Def
-Gyro Ball
-Protect
-Leech Seed
-Curse/Swords Dance/Filler
Ferrothorn is my physical wall and half of my defensive core. Standard moveset,
Curse/SD + Gyro Ball = Pseudo sweep.
Thundurus @Focus Sash/Life Orb
Timid
Prankster
252Sp.Atk, 252Spe, 4Hp
-Thunder
-Grass Knot
-Hidden Power(Ice)
-Taunt
Thundurus is quite a force to be reckoned with on a rain team, with STAB Thunder
coming off a base 125 special attack score is downright deadly.
Hidden Power Ice helps with foes 4x weak to ice, and helps with my coverage.
Grass Knot kills bulky waters, and Taunt wrecks lots of pokemon.
REPLACED
Tentacruel
Rain Dish/Liquid Ooze
Calm
252Hp, 252Sp.Def, 4Def
-Hydro Pump
-Toxic Spikes
-Rapid Spin
-Confuse Ray
Tentacruel completes my defensive core, and is a very nice special wall in rain,
with increased recovery from Rain Dish and Confuse Ray to hurt my opponents.
Toxic Spikes poison my foes, and Rapid Spin removes hazards from my team.
Also, Liquid Ooze could be an option to deal with Leech Seed users like
Ferrothorn.
REPLACED
REPLACED TENTACRUEL
Dragonite @Leftovers/?
Multiscale
Hasty
252Spe, 252Sp.Atk, 4Hp/Atk
-Dragon Claw
-Thunder
-Hurricane
-Roost/Dragon Dance/Filler
The mighty Dragonite. Fear his ability to learn both Thunder and Hurricane
AND be on a rain team! Spoooooky.... Dragon Claw lets me attack Blissey, and Roost heals off my damage.
Well, there's my team. it has done pretty well, but it definitely needs improvement, so rate away!
