Rainy Day Reminisce rainteam RMT
first off, I want to apologize for posting an incomplete team yesterday.
played a few battles and I revised the team. Lead Dancer: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/487.png Azelf@Damp Rock Ability: Levitate EVs:252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly(+spe,-spA) Rain Dance Stealth Rock Taunt U Turn My lead rain dancer. Azelf's Impressive speed let's me setup rain dance before I get taunted. Stealth Rock is placed so that sweepers can do an easier job because none of my primary sweepers have stat increasing moves. The reason why I picked Azelf rather than Politoed's drizzle is because I want Kingdra to be my Primary Sweeper. when setup is Finished I can just use U turn. Backup dancer: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/442.png Bronzong@Damp Rock Ability: Levitate EV's: 252 HP / 152 Atk / 8 Def / 96 SpD Relaxed(+def,-spe) Rain Dance Gyroball Light Screen Earthquake The Utility Man in my team, 8turns of Rain dance can be insufficient for sweepers so I placed Bronzong to regenerate my Raindance, damp rock is also held to prolong the dance. Because of it's type I can switch-in Bronzong when dragons Outrage and because of his bulkiness I can try to stop the momentum of enemy sweepers. I use earthquake for coverage and to counter the likes of ferrothorn which can be pretty annoying in rainteams.Gyroball+lowest possible speed can counter the hail inducing abomasnow, in battle I actually deal alot of damage to the likes of Frostlass and Gengar. The Star of the Show http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/bw/230.png Kingdra(F)@LifeOrb Ability: SwiftSwim EV's: 88 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 164 Spe Modest(+spA,-atk) Rain Dance Hydro Pump Dragon Pulse Draco Meteor With Swift swim Kingdra sweeps under the rain. the increased damage from rain plus dual stabs makes him a potent sweeper. Draco Meteor to deal with walls and other dragons. Hydropump deals impressive damage to everything that doesn't resist it. also you can see that I also placed Rain dance in the move pool so that I won't switch out often. The three pokemon above make sure that it keeps raining throughout the battle. http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/bw/184.png Azumarill(F)@Choice Band Ability: Huge Power EV's: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe Adamant(+atk,-spA) Aqua Jet Super Power Water Fall Ice Punch Azumarill packs a punch with Hugepower+choice band, this makes Aqua Jet a fatal priority attack it's also useful in picking off weakened pokemon from the enemy team. Ice punch is placed so i can deal with Virizion and other dragons. Waterfall's flinch is handy. Superpower is used to counter ferrothorn which again is a pain for rain team's. http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/51.png Dugtrio(F)@Choice Band Ability: Arena Trap EV's: 252 Atk / 32 Def / 224 Spe Jolly(+spe,-spA) EarthQuake Stone Edge Sucker Punch Shadow Claw Dugtrio, mainly a revenge killer with his choice band. I use him to trap Tyranitar and Jirachi so I can wipe them out with Earthquake. the Standard QuakeEdge combo for coverage. Sucker punch to deal with psychic types like gengar and lati@s http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/bw/149.png Dragonite(F)@Life Orb Ability: Multiscale EV's: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 Spe Rash(+spA,-spD) Hurricane Aqua tail Extreme Speed Roost I'm actually thinking twice if I should include dragonite or not because I don't have a rapid spinner to protect dragonite from entry hazards and make full use of his ability. I wanted a physical sweeper that's bulky and still benefit from the rain. Hurricane's stab and Aquatail in rain makes a powerful sweeper. I use roost to replenish health and Extreme speed for priority moves. P.S I played a few games and had a 50/50 winning rate. considering I'm still a beginner in competitive battling, I would like to learn as much from you guys. Thanks for reading. *I have troubles dealing with Celebi,Milotic and Scizor :( |
