I strongly discourage pulling any sort of stalling in the Rain. To put it bluntly, it's counter-productive, since you're literally stalling out the precious 8 turns of Rain. You're essentially doing the opponent's job x_x

Thank you, guys, for keeping this thread alive while I was MIA from Hurricane Sandy playing catch-up for the rest of the week(end)! Here's the deal:

~ All the set entries added with revisions! Major props to Silvershadow234 and especially Phazon00 for pumping them out - it has been a HUGE help!

~ Yonko7 earns the Best Discussion of the week again! Thanks for keeping this thread alive afloat while I was away :) Thanks to Phazon00 for partaking in these discussions, too!

~ Since no body cleared the 2nd Ladder Challenge, the next ladder challenge will be the same exact challenge (take 2). Again, you have 2 weeks to complete this challenge. I've kept the alts that were untouched on the registration list. Please re-register if you don't see your name there!

Back to the discussion. Have anyone tried out Beartic as part of their Rain Offense? /B/utterfree has provided us with a set entry, but I'm not sure if it's really worth a team slot. It's hideously slow, its main flaw; slower than Gorebyss ffs x_x.

However there are redeeming qualities for Beartic. Ice STAB is amazing for removing Grass-types and Druddigon. It also has Night Slash and Superpower for Slowking and Ferroseed, too! It would be nice if you guys can give Swift Swim Beartic a spin ;) I'll certainly give it a try.
