not perfect but i believe it fixessome of the flaws while not changing any mon (tho i believe barraskweda is better than shifu but that's that)
anyways! hope you like it :DD cheers

Tgufyru, Crawdaunt is an exceptional breaker on Rain and I think CB is a great item for it. Some of your sets aren't very optimal, however. For starters I would advise against using Slowking-Galar on rain. It doesn't abuse Rain very well and it drains momentum from your otherwise offensive team. Try replacing Slowking-Galar with a Choice Band Barraskewda and making Seismitoad Choice Specs.

VHasComeTo, these edits are mostly solid but I would still heavily advise removing Slowking-Galar, it's pretty bad on rain.

i was thinking about that too, glowking seems kinda outta place

seismitoad is supposed to be specs so my mistake. I used slowking galar as a counter to dragapult, tapu lele, and other fairy types. It’s evs allows it to take 3 hit from those mons and hit them with psychic for a 2 hit ko but I agree slowking is abit out of place and likely ferrothorn can be my spdef wall. I thought slowking would be good with fs support but like you said it drains a lot of momentum.

Knock off is the better move after using the calc (since both takes around the same amount of hits to kill a mon and knock off provides far more support). Thanks V and pinkacross. I’ll go test this and inform you about the results.
