Hey guys! Ok, so, I've been wanting to post this team for a while. It's my original Rain team (should be obvious), and is about a year old. I don't know, I have a terrible sense of time. The only reason that I didn't post this yet is because I don't really have a name for my team.. yeahh..
Anyway, here it is!
Toed (Politoed) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 6 SAtk / 252 SDef
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Perish Song
- Protect
Toed brings rain into the battlefield. She can take quite a few hits, while returning quite hard, as well. Scald is for STAB and the chance of burn, Ice Beam is for the many dragons that roam the tier, Perish song is for Baton Pass teams and as a pseudo-phasing move, and Protect is for longevity. The EVs is for her to be able to survive a Thunderbolt from a surprise moveset, though she can't survive super effective physical moves (mainly talking about Breloom and Ferrothorn)
Zor (Scizor) @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bug Bite
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Brick Break
Oh Zor, how I love you. In the rain, and with the EVs given, he can withstand a special fire type attack from Heatran, and retaliate with Brick Break. Just the standard Bulky Swords Dance Set.
Nite (Dragonite) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ground]/Roost
- Thunder
- Hurricane
This guy just might be the MVP. While she doesn't net the most kills, or pressure the opponent, she can do one thing, and she does it well; kill Breloom. Regardless of the set Breloom is using, Nite can come in, wake up with her Lum Berry, and hit back with Hurricane on the next turn, out speeding it every time. Other moves are there to abuse the rain, and to just be annoying, Thunder Waving faster Pokemon while surviving most hits with Multiscale. Hidden Power Ground is to take care of Ninetales, who can't hurt Nite, but is still this team's bane. But sometimes I use Roost to abuse Multiscale.
Gastro (Gastrodon) @ Leftovers
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Adamant Nature
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Recover
Gastro could very well be the most interesting Pokemon on my team. Well, second most. I needed another physical attacker, but still wanted a resistance to electric and water. So, I created this Curse set! I'm more of a bulk guy, so the EVs used are meant for it to survive and set up, Recovering when necessary. Earthquake and Waterfall are just basic STAB moves, but I might replace one with a Rock Slide or possible Stone Edge for those Dragon types infesting the tier. But I'm not sure. I'm not sure about the EVs either, since this is a set I made myself with nothing to copy from, so feedback would be nice.
Licky (Lickilicky) @ Leftovers
Trait: Cloud Nine
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Surf
Ok, this is the most interesting Pokemon in my team. Licky, the weather stopper. It's hilarious using this against a Venasaur, and watching them charge up their Solarbeam, or a Tornadus, only to see that their Hurricane missed. Good times. Anyway, the EVs allow her to withstand attacks pretty well, while attacking pretty hard. The moves are for full coverage against weather abusers. I'm not quite so sure about Surf though, but I'll keep it on if there's no better attacking move. Oh, Licky can survive an unboosted Outrage or Draco Meteor from any Dragon in the tier and respond with Ice Beam. Just felt like mentioning that.
Mow (Rotom-Mow) @ White Herb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk
- Leaf Storm
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder
Yes, yes, I know. This isn't Rotom-Wash. But there's a reason that I use Rotom-Mow. And that's because it has a 90% accurate, 140 based(210 after STAB) Grass type move. It also has access to a perfect accuracy Thunder, something most other Grass types don't have. Thunder Wave is to slow down boosting Dragon types, and HP Ice is for those same Dragons, along with Landorus and Gliscor. Really, they should see it coming, Electric types and HP Ice go hand-in-hand, don't they? The White Herb is for me to be able to blast off a Leaf Storm, and still stay in the battle for the next Pokemon. Unfortunately, this means no healing.
Anyway, that's my team. I have huge problems with Hail teams, and hazards as well, since I do do quite a bit of switching. I don't know how to incorporate Rapid Spin into my team though. Maybe I can have Starmie with Thunder, Ice Beam, HP Grass, and Rapid Spin? I also have major problems with Status. Zor, Gastro, and Mow don't enjoy burns, while no one else really likes Toxic. That being said, I have tried to use Celebi instead of Mow. The lack of a second Thunder-abuser really hurts my team, though. So any ways to fix that part of my team would be helpful. Maybe Lanturn with Heal Bell instead of Gastro? Any advice would be extremely helpful! Thanks
