It may help to swap Tornadus-Therian for Ludicolo. While Tornadus-T is definitely a boss, it would reduce the number of Mons weak to Electric on your team.
Mamoswine is great on Rain teams, as is Deoxys-S (rain lead). Both carry Stealth Rock and Mamoswine is a great Electric-type counter that beats both Mega Manectric and most Thudurus. Seismitoad is a viable swift swim sweeper if you're looking for that too.
No answer ?
The reason is that you want to be able to set up screens as fast as possible. Due to the nature of Dual Screens it won't always be used as a lead - it may be needed later down the road to stop a setup sweeper or better handle a scarfed threat. In those cases it's important to be as fast as possible so that screens can be up safely against faster attackers.
IIRC Imposter fails if you have an Imposter on the field. Or a Sub. I think it's a way to counter Imposter Chansey in Balanced Hackmons, but I'm not totally sure. :/
Hey, I was right!Bulbapedia said:
I believe you are correct. Thanks!
Where on the ladder are you seeing this? The buff to Bullet Punch and Pursuit are considered to be vastly superior since very few Mons used weigh-based attacks, and Scizor resists all of them other than Heat Crash.
*I keep seeing it listed on move sets, such as in the good core v2 thread.
thanks
Ah, I had assumed it was non-Mega, but in that context that makes a lot of sense.
What could be other 2 good teammates?
You've got an awful lot of bulk on that team but not much offensive presence. Have you tried Agility m-amp? It's a great cleaner, still has good bulk, and is difficult to stop if your opponent's team is worn down
A bulky team was my goal ;) but you're right, it needs more offensive; btw I don't have problem with breeding
Fighting, it can hit Dark types. But the only Fighting move Espeon learns is HP Fighting :/
Espeon probably shouldn't even be running an coverage move. Dual Screens + Baton Pass + Yawn OR Psychic is usually all it needs.
i considered fighting, but i didn't want to be walled by psychics. but i think the only psychic that resists psychic/fighting that i'd have to worry about is gardevoir? but i don't want to try and redo so many IVs. i guess i'll hunt one down in a trade ._.
the set i'm using is calm mind + wish + stored power + [coverage] @ kee berry, because someone kicked my ass with it one time on showdown and it looks like fun. i forget what their last move was though. i don't want to get walled by darks, but i guess yawn could work. i've also considered protect, but that doesn't solve the dark problem at all.
