Ugh. I've designed like 5 or 6 teams now to try in here and haven't gotten around to actually playing with any of them yet. I need to get the drive back somehow I guess. Before I stopped playing I was using a sort of odd team to surprising success:
Cloyster (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 56 Atk / 252 SAtk / 64 SDef / 136 Spd
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Shell Smash
- Blizzard
- Surf
- Rock Blast
Abomasnow (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Atk / 92 Def / 92 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Leech Seed
- Ice Shard
- Protect
- Wood Hammer
Manectric (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Lightningrod
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Protect
- Rain Dance
Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 176 Atk / 80 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Blizzard
- Waterfall
- Outrage
- Protect
Using rain and hail together seems like a bit of a pain, but it actually works out alright. The downfall of this team is that it's really easy to make a misplay and the team falls apart drastically after that. Manectric is severely underrated though. Subway AI doesn't understand that they can't T-Bolt Cloyster with Lightning Rod Manectric sitting right there getting SpA boosts. It makes me really excited for when and if LR Zapdos is released. Zapdos-Gyarados is gonna be sick.
