Also ran into a couple BP teams. So would like to restate Soundproof Meloetta as a small 'fk U!' to BP with Sound Proof / Perish Song. Also grants immunity to Bug Buzz and Pixilate Hyper Voice of which both are super effective on one form.

Lastly a fresh idea which I think is an epic concept but possibly not good enough due to lack of bulk and recover. Unaware Skuntank! The ultimate counter to PB! Ignores Stat boosts, imune to Stored Power, and STAB Foul Play and Punishment. Also has Roar which will work because they won't switch Espeon into FP or Punishment.

Also Skuntank will be a solid Defogger as he will ignore Defiant and KO back with Foul Play. Even with his poor bulk he avoids the OHKO from Thundurus and OHKOs back with FP if Thundy is at plus 2 from defiant. FP 2HKOs Bisharp, but Bisharp 2HKOs back with Iron Head. However with little Def or Spe evs Skuntank can either out speed Bisharp to kill it 1st, or avoid the 2HKO from Bisharp.

Damn Isa, some very solid and interesting ideas! I am definitely looking for some weather inducers but i think focusing on sun is better, as rain offense is already a pretty potent playstyle. Still though, i will heavily consider any defensive Drizzle Pokemon, so Vaporeon is a good one.

Soundproof Melo and Unaware Skuntank also sound really intriguing, so i will probably slate them. Btw, how does Perish Song work with Sound Proof? Melo is unaffected but the opponent is still affected?
