Introductions :
Well, i wanted to actually tested out the Rain in this Generation V OU Metagame. Drizzle and Drought is getting really Popular around here right now, so i think i will tested it out. I used to play with a SandStorm Team, so i think a changed might be a good idea. I have created a Team, and tested it around since yesterday, and been playing several games, and is able to put an opposing unprepared team with ease (i just noticed that SandStorm Team is not that hard to deal with since i'm trying this team). But also, i've found my own weaknesses. Ferrothorn and Chansey. I hope this RMT could fix my problem, so here presents you guys with my "Rain RMT Thread"

Team At Glance
The Team Making Process
The first time this team is Build, there's 2 Pokemon which i put in. The first one beeing Latias, my Favourite Pokemon ( well, i used Latios alot in the beginning of the Gen 4 Games, but since it is banned, i stick around with Latias alot, even after The Gen V is starting, i still stick around with Latias ) , and then Politoed, the Key of every Rain Team today.
Looking at a Rain Team, a Sweeper that could take advantages of it IS Scizor. I am currently looking for other Sweepers of the Rain, but i think a Scizor could fit well, so i ended up with this guy.
Next, i need an Entry Hazards. The Entry Hazard Abusers which is the most popular by now is : Ferrothorn. So i go with it, trying out it's set. Alot of thing happen, and i put in Suicune inside. So the two of them is sticked in.
Everyone need Weather Abusers in Weather Team. There's 2 Abusers which came in my Mind, which is Dragonite and Raikou. I'm currently Testing out Raikou, and i don't think that it is good enough

Team At Glance
In Depth Looks
Politoed @ Choice Specs
Modest Nature - Drizzle
252 Hp / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
- Surf
- HP Grass
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
I can't afford a misses in my First Turn, so Surf is there. Quite Simple, and is a universal sets. Politoed will help me in my First Turn, with an Incredible Power to break the enemies. If i am facing another Weather Team, i kept this guy on the Lead Spots. Then, i will see what is my Enemies using. If it is a Weather Summoner, and when i think i am Faster then it, then i will try to KO it, then switch out. But if it is not a Weather Summoner but in fact a Pokemon trying to Knock me Out, then i will switch. Not much of role here except for Physical Wall Breaking and Rain Support. So let us move on to the next one
Toxicroak @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature - Dry Skin
248 Hp / 252 Atk/ 8 Spe
- Bulk Up
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
It is used to be a Latias here, but Bulk Up Toxicroak replaced it as a lot of people reccomended since i have a huge problem with Ferrothorn. Bulk Up + Substitute is incredible, beeing able to set up in front of Ferrothorn and wreck opponen'ts team with ease, as it recovers a lot of HP using the Leftovers-DrySkin-DrainPunch combos. Still in test, and need to test mnore. But i guess it coould fit well :)
Scizor @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature - Techinician
244 Hp - 40 Atk - 8 Spe - 216 SpD
- Sword Dances
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Roost
A Bulky Dancer, act as an incredible Sweeper, easily getting +4 with ease and start sweeping with Bullet Punch. If the situations is supportive, i will usually try to get a +6 and Roost of the Damages first. But, if it is not, then i will go on and sweep. Scizor is a really supportive and covering Sweeper, a late Game Sweeper in this team. Bug Bite is there to gave me a Stab Cover here. But since Scizor is relatively Slow, i believe that Bullet Punch is the only moves that i often use. I think Brick Break could do well, or maybe Super Power. I need help in this coverages moves change in Bug Bite.
Tornadus @ Life Orb
Naive Nature - Prankster
32 Atk / 224 SpA / 252 Spe (30IV in Speed)
- Hidden Power Ice
- Hurricane
- Hammer Arm
- Taunt
Tornadus, one of the Abusers of the Rain. It replace a Crocune in this slot as Crocune is pretty much walled today, with Ferrothorn around (in the last generation, water absorb). I use the Mixed Sets since i think it as the better sets. 32 Ev investment is not a really big deal, if it is considered over the Focus Blast's frail accuracy. Hidden Power is in for much of coverage moves, when Hurricane is used for it's primary stab moves. Hammer Arm for Blissey, Chansey, Ferrothorn, and the other, when Taunt is going to shut them off. Firstly, i am trying to use the specs, but i don't feel like it. If i'm using a Specs, i'm afraid of beeing Locked and Pwned. so here it is, I present you with : Tornadus
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Relaxed Nature - Iron Barbs
252 Hp / 48 Def / 208 SpD
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
A Decent Spiker. I couldn't find any reasons of why does this guy is being overrated ?? But i will praise it for it's ability to set up 3 layer of Spikes easily and Leech Seed it's enemy with ease. But most of them will end up switching. Gyro Ball's PP is also very limited, with only 8(MAX), i could be easily forced to only use Protect for the rest of the match. Ferrothorn also cannot take care of it's kind, an opposing Ferrothorn.
Thundurus @ Leftovers
Timid Nature - Prankster
4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Thunder
- HP Ice
- Nasty Plot
- Taunt
Not really sure how to use this guy properly, and how the sweeping goes trough as i haven't test it much, since it is pretty much walled in the test. But i guess a fast sweeper with Taunt and Nasty Plot under it's belt should be fine. So here it goes, the Thundurus :). Thunudurus, with a unique typing of Flying and Electr, leaving it only with 1 weakness, is an incredible asset to the metagame. With Access to Nasty Plot, it could sweep trough well in the late game, when the Taunt (over FocusBlast) is to get Stall out of the game. I've consider it, but i guess Taunt is much better then the Focus Blast's accuracy.
That is my **very imperfect team**, which need a lot of work to do. Hope you guys could give me some nice Rate ^^
