Hi, I've been playing OU for the past 6 months on ps and I like to say I am fairly good. I think my ranking is around 1650 which isn't too bad. I think I could have a much better ranking because strategy wise and predictions, I know I am very good at, but when it comes down to team building and team synergy, I think I fall short. So for this RMT, I made a new rain team to the other previous ones I had and I welcome any suggestions to improve this team. I also be giving you people reasons why I have the specific pokes on my team. Thanks and I hope you enjoy.
Team:
Starmie @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Psyshock
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
He is my offensive Rapid Spinner. I like him a lot as he can abuse the rain with hydro pump and at the same time get rid of hazards more reliably as he is fast. I feel he is important to my team as any spinner or magic bounce user is vital to a good ou team. He has psyshock instead of thunder/thunderbolt for coverage.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 32 SAtk / 228 SDef
Calm Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder Wave
- Pain Split
He is the special wall for the team. He works well and can land a few t waves on the other pokes making it easier for my team. i also like the fact that it can still hit hard in the rain with hydro pump
Politoed (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Perish Song
The number one pokemon for any rain team. I decided to go with a standard physically defensive one as I lacked a special wall. He is fairly good at this and can force switches out with perish song. I'm still on the fringes between this set or the specially defensive set. I don't want the offensive set as I already have 2 hydro pump abusers. Please let me know if you would change this set.
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Thunder Wave
- U-turn
- Iron Head
- Zen Headbutt
Jirachi is a great utility pokemon, he can slow down threats with thunderwave and proceed to parahax, iron head an zen headbutt have decent coverage. he also can take hits thx to the hp investment. i gave him 16 speed with jolly so that way he can outspeed jolly breloom and kill it with zen headbutt. i could have adamant with 108 speed but i prefer having more hp investment.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 60 Atk / 200 HP / 244 Def
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Landorus t is a great utility pokemon, he can scare threats off and proceed to u-turn, he can put up stealth rocks, get intimidates and because i run a bulky spread, he can definitely take hits.
Tornadus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Tailwind
To be honest, y the hell is the pokemon uu. in the rain, he becomes one the biggest threats, he's single-handedly destroyed teams. He can use tailwind thanks to prankster and help my team. His hurricane has monstrous power. and heat wave is mainly there to get rid of scizor and ferrothorn, 2 pokes who are threats to my team. hidden power ice to get rid of dragons.
So that's my team. I hope you enjoyed this short rmt. I've used this team a few times and had some success. Please leave any suggestions( spreads or switch pokes out) to this team and I'll gladly consider them. Thank you
