Hi, I'm Gymdawg7, and this is my first official RMT. I've been lurking here since the beginning of Black and White, but just started about 2 months ago. I've tried most teams: Sun, Sandstorm, anti-weather, but my most successfule one is this Rain Team, peaking 1160 i think. On to the Team....
Politoed @ Choice Scarf
Drizzle
Jolly
252 Spa/ 252 Spe/4 HP
Hydro Pump
Focus Blast
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Grass
ScarfToed serves as, well, my Weathermon. it also serves as a revenge killer. Moveset is fairly Standard, Hydro Pump for STAB, Ice Beam for dragons, Focus Blast for Ferrothorn. Hidden Power Grass is chosen for Quagsgire, Gastrodon, and Rotom-W, who would be huge threats.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Iron Barbs
Impish
252 HP/ 96 DEF/ 168 SDEF
Leech Seed
Protect
Stealth Rock
Power Whip
Ferrothorn in the Rain is a boss. he provides many key resistances, blah blah blah. He is a mixed wall, but with an emphasis on Defence. Rocky Helmet plus Iron Barbs is 25% damage to the enemy per physical attack, which is boss. Leech seed is obvious, Protect is for more leech seed damage and to scout. Power Whip so he isn't taunt bait, and it is used for Gastrodon, etc. He is also my entry hazard setter with Stealth Rocks.
Thundurus @ Life Orb
Prankster
Naive
44 Atk/ 212 Spa/ 252 Spe
Thunder Wave
Thunder
Grass Knot
Hammer Arm
This is a semi Original Set i created, which works wonders against Sandstorm. With 44 Atk EV's and LO, he OHKO's all Tyranitar not Running 252 DEF, but even with 252 HP, it's a clean OHKO. Thunder Wave is useful to shut down fast sweepers, like Lucario, Lati@s, etc. Thunder for Damage in the rain. Grass Knot is the only move im unsure about. it's great against Gastrodon and the like, but i think i have them covered. any advice would be great.
Starmie @ Lefties
Natural Cure
Jolly
4 HP/ 252 Spe/ 252 Spa
Hydro Pump
Psychic
Thunder
Rapid Spin
I used to have a 3 Attacks + Recover LO version here, but this works much better. Jolly is to outpace those in the 110 +natured Tier, like Lati@s and Gengar. Hydro Pump is for STAB in Rain, Thunder for 100% accuracy. Psychic is for the Conk's and other Fighting types everywhere, while Rapid spin is for getting Hazards out.
Dragonite @ Lefties
Multiscale
Calm
252 HP/ 108 Spa/ 148 SDef
Hurricane
Thunder
Roost
Dragon Tail
I literally just took this from M Dragon's RMT, and I don't know whether i should keep it. It works very well as a psuedo special wall, with Roost + Multiscale. Hurricane for STAB, and Thunder for the rain. Roost is for Recover obviously, and Dragon Tail is for Setup Sweepers. DTail allows me to force out reuniclus and non-subbed Latias, unless their the last pokemon.
Jirachi @ Lefties
Serene Grace
Jolly
252 HP/108 Def/ 116 Spe
Substitute
Calm Mind
Thunder
Water Pulse
Once again, i took this Moveset from Undisputed, but it works so well, I couldn't resist. I tweaked the EV's, as i don't think Max Speed is necessary, and put it into Def. so earthquakes and Infernape couldn't OHKO(That damn mole still does tho!) Sub +CM is a beast, beating CM Reuniclus in the CM war, along with breaking many walls (Gliscor, Skarmory) Thunder is nice with the 60% Paralysis chance, and Water pulse gets the Rain boost, along with 40% Chance to confuse.
So, that's my first OU team. I'm Willing to make any Changes, especially with Thundurus and Dragonite, so Feel Free to suggest anything. The only main threats i have are SD+Sub Toxicroak, as they flat out 6-0 me. losing Thundurus against a sandstorm team is a huge problem, as i don't have solid counters to Exca or Lando. Latias can also be troublesome, as I have to play around it and try to paralyze it.
