Team at a Glance:
The Lead:
@ Damp Rock
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP (?)
Nature: Timid
Moveset:
~ Rain Dance
~ Thunder
~ U-Turn
~ Roost
Description:
Well obviously, for a Rain Dance team, i need a good lead that can set up Rain Dance and still be useful after using it, and that lead was Zapdos.
Thunder is the main attack in this moveset, and hits many Pokemon hard in Rain, Roost works as a good and fast recovery move, U-Turn is for scouting the opponent's team or for running away from the opponents Pokemon while still dealing some damage. This set can easily take down Ninjask leads, but has trouble with some other leads, like Aerodactyl, as their Rock Slide usually 2HKO my Zapdos, and Stone Edge is always an OHKO.
Rain Dance Support:
@ Damp Rock
EVs: 200 HP / 252 SpD / 56 Atk
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Technician
Moveset:
~ Rain Dance
~ Bullet Punch
~ U-Turn
~ Roost
Description:
Can't believe how bulky this guy is, he took a Flamethrower from a Nidoking and it only did 38% damage in rain, Rain Dance is to keep the rain pouring, Bullet Punch is a great priority move that takes down many threats, (Abomasnow, Tyranitar) U-Turn is for switching to Kabutops, Kingdra or Ludicolo while still dealing a great amount of damage. Roost works as a very reliable recovery moves as it helped me make Scizor live for much longer in battle.
Haxxy bitch [except that it's not the haxxy bitch that you are familiar with, this is a moveset i created.]:
@ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpA
Nature: Bold
Moveset:
~ Thunder
~ Water Pulse
~ Stealth Rock
~ Psychic
Description:
Thunder is the star of this moveset, saved me so many times before, it deals huge damage in rain and can paralyze many threats, Water Pulse is also a strong move in rain, and can confuse the opposing Pokemon, this move also saved me many times and won me battles before, Stealth Rock is there because i lacked a Stealth Rocker in my team and i couldn't think of someone else to give it to. (There was Bronzong, but replaced that with Scizor), Psychic can take care of annoying Roserades who want to take my Kabutops down.
Party hard.
@ Life Orb
EVs: 60 HP / 196 Spe / 252 SpA
Nature: Modest
Ability: Swift Swim
Moveset:
~ Rain Dance
~ Energy Ball
~ Ice Beam
~ Surf
Description:
What is a Rain Dance without Ludicolo ? Rain Dance is there to set up Rain for another 5 turns, Energy Ball is STAB to take down opposing Kabutops that usually cripple my team, Ice Beam works wonders with Dragons, and especially annoying Flygon and Dragonite, it can also do a great amount of damage to Gliscor, even though Surf would already hit it hard, it also takes down Grass type Pokemon, and usually succeeds in taking down annoying Breloom.
Mixed Dancer
@ Life orb
EVs: 184 SpA / 252 Atk / 76 Spe (?)
Nature: Naive
Ability: Swift Swim
Moveset:
~ Waterfall
~ Outrage
~ Dragon Dance
~ Draco Meteor
Description:
You might wonder, why 2 Dragon moves in one moveset ? Well, Draco Meteor works as a bait, yes, a bait, whenever i use it, the opponent switches out to a Special Wall (It also counters Dragonite, but i already have counters for Dragonite on my team though.), and then i just set up Dragon Dance on they're face and sweep them away with Outrage. Waterfall does HUGE amount of damage in Rain, Dragon Dance is a wonderful move that boosts both Atk and Spe, meaning even if the Rain ends, i can still proceed to sweep with Outrage after a single DD and outspeed most threats that cripple Kingdra. This EV spread can outspeed Adamant Choice Scarf Flygon in rain which is very annoying, and can outspeed it after Dragon Dance.
Megatron
@ Life Orb
EVs: 72 HP / 196 Spe / 252 Atk
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Swift Swim
Moveset:
~ Waterfall
~ Stone Edge
~ Swords Dance
~ Aqua Jet
Description:
Simply the Megatron of the rain. Outspeeding almost all Pokemon while in rain and dealing huge amount of damage with Waterfall and deal even MORE damage after Swords Dance, Aqua Jet takes care of stupid Scizor and Metagross with Bullet Punch, Stone Edge saved me many times before, as it has a high critical hit ratio and a heavy STAB hit, Waterfall is the main attack of this set, with a base power of 80, STAB and +50% boost from Rain, it can almost OHKO Metagross (leaves it with 18-25%, Aqua Jet takes care of the rest) and can OHKO it after Swords Dance.
