Well, going like pretty much most RMTs for NU and using rain
(also you should use different nicknames if you use this team because most of these suck XD)
At A Glance:
The Team:
muh swagger (Liepard) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rain Dance
- Encore
- Knock Off
- Thunder Wave
Probably one of the most reliable rain setters (Next to Uxie/Accelgor) and serves as my lead. Thunder Wave is a last-ditch effort in case something looks like it has a chance of sweeping my team (Slurpuff threatens this team), and Taunt just provides momentum in some cases in the lead match up.
EDIT: Changed Taunt to Encore, as even if they get up SR, I have Spin on Kabutops
(I like BW sprite better)
spin me round bby (Kabutops) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Knock Off
- Rock Slide
Walter White (Uxie) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 32 HP / 252 SpD / 224 Spe
Careful Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Rain Dance
- Stealth Rock
- Memento
- Yawn
My secondary rain inducer, Uxie is an overall great support mon (Eat your heart out Mesprit) and (sort of) pivot. I run 0 Attack because A) U-Turn is just for momentum, like setting up Rain and then going into Kabutops/Ludicolo to sweep/clean and B) Foul Play damage. Memento also helps, as when Uxie is basically dead weight, it at least has some use (forces switches and allows setup) in Memento. 224 Speed is enough to outspeed Jolly Feraligatr (by 2 points lel) and get off a move.
EDIT: Changed U-Turn to Stealth Rock, as it lets me take on Vivillon without having to use Cradily.
(based pineapple)
DANCE WATER DANCE (Ludicolo) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Rain Dance
Probably my second most important Pokemon and sweeper, as boasting great coverage and decent stats makes up for a great mon. This eliminates Feraligatr (a threat once Cradily is dead) and helps against Slurpuff and Gurdurr. Focus Blast eliminates Steelix, Pawniard, and Ferroseed (which walls this team) and Ice Beam is great coverage on any water pokemon. One of the most important, gets past most of these threats I mentioned.
Swanna @ Life Orb
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rest
- Hurricane
- Surf
- Defog
Thx Brawlfest for suggesting this, Swanna is another notable rain abuser, as Hurricane hits more than you could think (and hits Ferroseed surprisingly hard), and Rest gives it reliable recovery with Hydration (you could run Roost) and Defog lets me keep hazard control without contributing to more Kabutops 4mss This is like Ludicolo, covering most of the threats I mentioned (bar Slurpuff and Gatr).
The Queen (Jynx) (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
- Lovely Kiss
My backup sweeper, Jynx is pretty good and fits on rain teams well due to Dry Skin as well. I am considering running LO over Sash, but idk right now. Another reason why I run Focus Blast on Ludicolo, Ferroseed walls this as well.
Threats:
Walls most of my team excluding Ludicolo.
This can easily sweep me, especially with Cradily gone.
Can take multiple hits from my Pokemon and hits them all super effectively except Ludicolo.
Least threatening, but can easily sweep once Cradily and Ludicolo are down. (Uxie outspeeding only matters in the case of going for Memento), and also uses my rain against me.
So, what do you think of this team (my first RMT!)
