Rain Team

[DJMonty]

Just my try at a rain team.


Politoed @ Leftovers
Modest
252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe
Drizzle

Hydro Pump
Focus Blast
Psychic
Hidden Power [Electric]

Politoed is the only Pokemon outside of Ubers to have Drizzle, so it's a must have for a Rain Team. Although, that's not it's only use. It has a fairly high SpA stat, so that can be used by giving it a few good Special attacks with fairly high base power.

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Modest
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Lightningrod

Thunder
Roost
Hidden Power [Water]
Ancientpower

Zapdos with Lightningrod makes it more useful on a rain team. It still has high SpA and Thunder, but now it can switch in and take all water weaknesses, because it resists grass and Lightingrod gets the electric. Roos is to keep it around longer, Hidden Power is for pesky Rock/Ground types.

Empoleon @ Leftovers
Modest
4 HP/252 SpA/252 SpD
Defiant

Hydro Pump
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Hidden Power [Fire]

Empoleon is a nice Pokemon, and it covers the Rock/Dragon weaknesses that Kyurem has. Nice SpA stat like the previous two Pokemon, and has access to some nice moves.

Bouffalant @ Life Orb
Adamant
252 HP/252 Att/4 Spe
Sap Sipper

Megahorn
Iron Head
Poison Jab
Wild Charge

Bouffalant is the major Grass resistance on the team, with Sap Sipper making him more powerful, and an already high attack stat, he can dominate. Some nice moves, for good coverage.

Kyrurem @ Focus Sash
Naive
252 Att/252 SpA/4 Spe
Pressure

Stone Edge
Dragon Claw
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball

Kyurem is the mixed attacker of the team. 130 base Attack and SpA, it can hit hard, ans with some good STAB attacks, you'll be destroyed.

Rotom-W @ Chesto Berry
Modest
128 Def/252 SpA/128 SpD
Levitate

Hydro Pump
Dark Pulse
Thunder
Rest


The Wall/Attacker. 107 base Def and SpD, it's be foolish not to take advantage of them. Some nice moves, too. Rest + Chesto so it can stay around longer.

Just my try at a rain team.


Politoed @ Leftovers/Choice Specs
Modest
252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe
Drizzle

Hydro Pump
Focus Blast
Ice Beam
Hidden Power [Electric]

Politoed is the only Pokemon outside of Ubers to have Drizzle, so it's a must have for a Rain Team. Although, that's not it's only use. It has a fairly high SpA stat, so that can be sed by giving it a few good Special attacks with fairly high base power. Choice Specs gives him epic power thx to rain, but not nececary. id prefer ice beam > psychic tho

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Timid
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Lightningrod

Thunder
Roost
Hidden Power [Water]/Ice
Ancientpower/Volt Switch

Zapdos with Lightningrod makes it more useful on a rain team. It still has high SpA and Thunder, but now it can switch in and take all water weaknesses, because it resists grass and Lightingrod gets the electric. Roos is to keep it around longer, Hidden Power is for pesky Rock/Ground types. Volt Switch to deal some damage on the switch, HP ice could be used for dragons but if u prefare water use it. timid for more speed.

Empoleon @ Leftovers
Modest
4 HP/Def/252 SpA/252 Hp/SpeedDefiant

Hydro Pump
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Hidden Power [Fighting/Agility]

Empoleon is a nice Pokemon, and it covers the Rock/Dragon weaknesses that Kyurem has. Nice SpA stat like the previous two Pokemon, and has access to some nice moves. HP Fire aint good as it gets 50% less damage due to rain. HP fighting could be used on Feros and Empoleons even tho empoleons r rare these days. agility is very useful for increasing speed

Bouffalant @ Life Orb
Adamant
252 HP/252 Att/4 Spe
Sap Sipper

Megahorn
Iron Head
Return/Head Charge
Wild Charge

Bouffalant is the major Grass resistance on the team, with Sap Sipper making him more powerful, and an already high attack stat, he can dominate. Some nice moves, for good coverage. Only thing to say is tht Poison jab aint nececary at all. Return/Head charge for a powerful Stab Att

Kyrurem @ Choice Scarf/Specs
Timid/Modest
252 Speed/252 SpA/4 Hp
Pressure

Draco Meteor
Ice Beam
Focus Blast
HP [Grass]
Kyurem is the mixed attacker of the team. 130 base Attack and SpA, it can hit hard, ans with some good STAB attacks, you'll be destroyed. Special Kyurem > Mixed. u could try a mixed with scarf to but well i still prefer Special. Ice Beam and D meteor for useful Stab Attacks, FB for hitting tars and other steel types and HP grass for swampert and quasire etc. Scarf grants him more speed, but dnt underrest the power of specs ^^;

Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Bold
252 Hp 248 Def 8 Speed
Levitate

Hydro Pump
Twave/Will-O-Wisp
Thunder
Pain Split


The Wall/Attacker. 107 base Def and SpD, it's be foolish not to take advantage of them. Some nice moves, too. Rest + Chesto so it can stay around longer. u always wanna run 252 Hp on deffensive rotom's. Pain Split for healing and dealing damage. Thunder and Hydro Pump for stab. 8 Evs in speed to outrun other defensive rotoms. Twave can be used to slow down ur opponent and WoW to cripple Garchomps and Tar.

Overall a decent team but u lack Sweepers. u could try changing Empoleon for DD Gyara as u also lack fysical atters.

Gyarados @ Lefties
Adamant
156 Hp/72 Att/96 Att/184 Speed
Interminate
Taunt
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Bounce

This set provides good coverage. a well placed Gyara can destroy a whole enemy team. taunt to avoid Twave, WoW, Leech Seed etc. Waterfall and Bounce for stab and coverage.

now u can decide if u want to follow some of my changes or ignore them =d
