Hp water can be slashed into a rain set imo
in rain:
252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Hidden Power Water vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mamoswine: 312-369 (86.4 - 102.2%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Hidden Power Water vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Marowak-Alola: 250-296 (77.1 -...
Matteo this is non pokebank fwiw, so like ferro isnt a consideration, neither is chansey. And I would guess if you go guan123's root, at that point you may not even need pelipper as you would have very little actual rain abuse.
Ive been running a very similar team, but with different sets. I...
I use Specs Noivern there are 2 combinations of moves that threaten noivern if he switches into mega luke. Neither of the Special Sets threaten at all because he needs priority to have a shot at KO ing.
Noivern's Moves
Flamethrower 113.8 - 134.5%
Draco Meteor 61.5 - 72.5%
Boomburst 44.1 - 51.9%...
Thanks for the suggestions they are in line with things I have thought about/forgot.
I originally had toxic over hypnosis in an earlier version of the team, that also had thundurus-i and t-wave ferrothorn with the idea of paralysis compensating for speed out of the rain. What happened was...
After not battling at all in gen 5 (and only a little in gen 4) I decided to rediscover a Rain team that fit my style of play. With Drizzle Swim being legal I wanted to see how that would fair in the current meta, and while I have laddered this team quite a bit there are some holes that I don't...
Just somethings about these sets
Genesect: Interesting ev spread, genesect is very difficult to run calcs on because of the download boost impacting the direction it goes, I dislike removing electric from its coverage suite especially since your team in general doesnt have real good attacks to...
I like your team a lot, although I cant say I particularly like quagsire especially when things like gastrodon exist around, but if you like it by all means use it. It is a nice check to bellydrum azumarill (which you may be cold too without). Although I think your core is more...
Haven't peaked yet.
I played a little in gen 4 and the visuals of gen 6 in game just brought me back.
Originally I just wanted a team that could support my favorite pokemon; gliscor and what started out as a gliscor/gyarados anit physical core would just keep evolving slowly and slowly to...
I like your team alot, I have found sand as a nice way to pack on residual damage over the course of a match and your team uses it the same way...
A few things I feel are awkward though
Your Tyrantrum is packing strong jaw +ice fang. Is it better than rock head +head smash replacing stone...
