Hey, guys, this is a mono water team that I created. I have reached 1550's with it only to tilt later.
So anyways here is my team :]
Pelipper @ Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 214 Def / 46 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Roost
The first thing that comes to mind when using mono water is rain. pelipper is arguably the best rain setter with access to u-turn for momentum. the 46 speed investment is to always outspeed uninvested base 70's while the rest are put in bulk to take hits so that it can set up rain in the future again if needed.
Kingdra @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Flash Cannon
Which is the best rain sweeper in the metagame and kingdra will be the most common answer. I ran a modest set for extra damage and ran specs instead of life orb coz I did not like the recoil. Initially, the last move was Draco meteor but I switched it to flash cannon to make matchups against ice easier. I am also using surf instead of the hydro pump as I did not want the miss chance.
Azumarill @ Normalium Z
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Belly Drum
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
For my next mon, I chose azumarill the wall breaker. I'm running 248 hp instead of 252 to get hp to an odd number and since I'm not using sitrus but normalium z instead there was no point of running an even hp. I put the 4 speed here for outspeeding uninvested neutral base 50's and other adamant azu to prevent speed ties.
Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Scald
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
After this I was thinking of adding a good stealth rocker with access to hazard removal and empoleon is the go-to guy/girl for me. I decided to run a defensive set to take hits from the likes of eq and close combat and then set up or remove hazards if needed. I initially had flash cannon instead of roar on him but since I rarely used it I put roar to counter set up mons.
Lanturn @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Volt Switch
- Heal Bell
- Toxic
After looking at my team it seemed that my team is a very weak against electric. Initially, i had gastro to take hits on the special side and counter electric teams but my team became too weak to alolan-Raichu in electric terrain as the ones with grass knot plow through my team. So I added lanturn and this mon takes attacks from alolan Raichu for days.
252 SpA Life Orb Raichu-Alola Psychic vs. 0 HP / 252+ SpD Lanturn: 133-157 (34 - 40.1%) -- 37.2% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Sharpedo-Mega @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Crunch
- Psychic Fangs
- Waterfall
For my mega I initially had Gyarados but i seemed to have problems defeating m-venusaur and scarf niilego so I added sharpedo. I'm still debating whether I should keep jolly or replace it for adamant for the extra damage but the fear of scarf base 95 + speed nature doesn't let m change it.
