Hail Team

Anti-Cloner

Well-Known Member
This is my first Competitive team... It did pretty well in the battle tower, so...

Abomasnow@Life Orb/ Leftovers

Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
- Swords Dance
- Ice Shard
- Wood Hammer / Seed Bomb
- Earthquake

Lead pokemon to get the hail going... Life orb for more power, and basically SD up and sweep.

Froslass@Brightpowder/Leftovers

Nature: Timid
EV's: 4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
- Spikes
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Blizzard

Mostly for setting up. Use Snow cloak and Bright powder to become really evasive and annoying. Then, set up and Blizzard

Mamoswine@Life Orb

Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 Def/252 Atk/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
-Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Endeavor/ Stone Edge

??? I don't know why I put him here.... I think I'm gonna replace him with Milotic or staraptor

Dewgong@Icy Rock

Nature: Modest
Ev's: 216 HP/252 SpAtk/40 Spd
Ability: Hydration

Moves:
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- HP [Electric]
- Toxic

Use Toxic, and Sweep. Not really Bolt-Beam, but HP Electric will work fine.

Masquerain@Leftovers

Nature: Modest
Ev's: 252 Spd / 252 SpA / 2 Def / 2 SpDef
Ability: Intimidate
Moves:
-Agility
-Ice Beam
-Air Slash/Energy Ball/Mud Shot
-Baton Pass

Sweeper#2 Use agility and baton pass to Mamoswine or Abomasnow. Don't know what to put for 3rd slot

Starmie@Cutsap Berry

Nature:Timid
EV's: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP
Ability: Natural Cure

-Recover
-Rapid Spin
-Thunder Bolt
-Surf

Revenge Killer??? Rapid spin to make sure Masquerain and all other ice types don't get 50% HP damage

This is my first team, so its pretty bad..
Not taking out Dewgong... It's my favorite

Trying to fit Milotic into this team, but I can't

Needs descriptions.

I think Brightpowder is banned in competitive play, but i'm not sure.

It doesn't have to be all ice types, you know.
Steel types work well on hail teams.
 

Darkfall

Abuses SHIFT + ENTER
Brightpowder is not banned in fact.

Abomasnow's ability is Snow WARNING, not Cloak.

You might wanna run standard Choice Band Mamo.
Just, not Endeavour.

Icy Rock is doing nothing on Dewgong, and neither is Hydration.
Though Dewgong is really bad.

Masquerain? Really? It's your funeral.

Custap Berry is virtually useless on Starmie, Recover or not.

If you're so in love Dewgong, make a Rain Dance team around it.

One based on Dewgong's tier.

<- OH **** YEA!!!!!
Ok lets see there are quite a few things wrong here but thats why I am here to help you. Ok lets get started.


This is my first Competitive team... It did pretty well in the battle tower, so...

Abomasnow@Life Orb/ Leftovers

Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
- Swords Dance
- Ice Shard
- Wood Hammer / Seed Bomb
- Earthquake

Lead pokemon to get the hail...

Ok if you are leading with him try out this set it works better as a lead.

Abomasnow@Leftovers
Nature:Timid
Ev's 252Spa/252Spe/4SpDef
Moves
Substitute
Blizzard
Leech Seed
Protect

This is an annoying set where first you use Sub. then Leech Seed and Protect or attack with Blizzard it is a better lead set.


Froslass@Brightpowder/Leftovers

Nature: Timid
EV's: 4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
- Spikes
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Blizzard

Mostly for setting up.

I would put Destiny Bond over Sub as Froslass is frail.Also Bright Powder is banned in Competitive play. Also put Hail in there for either Spikes or Thunder Wave.


Mamoswine@Life Orb

Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 Def/252 Atk/252 Spe
Ability: Snow Cloak

Moves:
-Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake

??? I don't know why I put him here....

Ok since it is not a lead Mamoswine try this set out

Mamoswine @ Life orb
Ability:Snow Cloak
Nature:Jolly
Ev's:252 Atk / 252 spe / 4 Def
Moves
Earthquake
Ice shard

Walrein@Leftovers
Ability:Ice Body
Nature:Bold
Evs 228Hp/40SpDef/240Def
Moves
Protect
Toxic
Sub.
Surf
The Annoying Set. Walrein just uses Toxic then Sub then Protect over and over again. Surf is for Fire types.



Masquerain@Leftovers

Nature: Modest
Ev's: 252 Spd / 252 SpA / 2 Def / 2 SpDef
Ability: Intimidate
Moves:
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Air Slash
-Energy Ball/Mud Shot/Baton Pass

Sweeper#2

I would take this out for something maybe a Gliscor as he walls all the threats to Hail teams.

Gliscor@Leftovers
Nature:Impish
Ev's244Hp/188Def/76Spe
Moves
Knock Off
EQ
Roost
Fire Fang

Helps cover your weaknesses and take out Luke and Steels.


Starmie@Cutsap Berry

Nature:Timid
EV's: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP
Ability: Natural Cure

-Recover
-Psychic/Grass Knot
-Thunder Bolt
-Surf

Revenge Killer???

I would put a Choice Scarf on it to revenge kill and put Rapid Spin over Recover and Grass Knot over Psychic.

This is my first team, so its pretty bad..

Its ok you will get better.
Not taking out Dewgong... It's my favorite

Thats too bad for you then cause he has to.

Trying to fit Milotic into this team, but I can't

I wouldn't do that.

-Danny

Changes and suggestions in Bold.
 
Dewgong @ Icy Rock? Snow warning summons permanent hail :|

Also, the presence of taunt leads hinder Aboma, I'd suggest the subseeb set.
