Hey guys. This is my first RMT, and I decided to use my Rain Team. It's been doing OK, but I think it needs a little work. It isn't really a Rain Team but is actually a team that uses Rain to stop other weather.
Here's my team lineup:
Thundurus@Timid
252 Sp.Atk Ev's;252 Speed Ev's; 6 HP Ev's
Hold: Focus Sash
1. Taunt
2. Thunder Wave
3. Thunderbolt
4. Grass Knot
He's the lead of my team, and I must say he's one of the best leads I've had, if not THE best. He stops Stealth Rocks from coming up and come back late game to Thunder Wave an opponent's Pokemon. More often than not, Thundurus comes out on top during the lead match.
My only problems are Tyranitar and Deoxys-S. Tyranitar can tank Grass Knot and KO with Stone Edge. Deoxys-S is more of 50/50 chance and relies entirely on luck.
Politoed@Timid
252 Sp. Atk Ev's; 252 Speed Ev's; 6 HP Ev's
Hold: Choice Scarf
1. Hydro Pump
2. Surf
3. Ice Beam
4. Focus Blast
Scarf Politoed is my anti-weather Pokemon. He checks weather starters AND a lot of weather sweepers. Also, he provides Rain, which makes helps make 100% Thunder and a Fire resistance. The minute I kill the opponent's weather starter I have pretty much won.
Scizor@Adamant
252 Attack Ev's; 208 HP Ev's; 48 Speed Ev's
Hold: Choice Band
1. Bullet Punch
2. U-Turn
3. Superpower
4. Pursuit
Scizor is the Steel-type on my team. His job is pretty much to kill off Dragons and revenge kill threats with priority Bullet Punch. Also, he has another important job in killing Ferrothorn and Blissey, two walls that annoy me at every turn.
Latios@Timid
252 Sp. Atk Ev's; 252 Speed Ev's; 6 HP Ev's
Hold: Life Orb
1. Draco Meteor
2. Thunder
3. Surf
4. Psyshock
Latios is one of the core Pokemon in my team, as the final part of the group that my team is all about: Politoed, Scizor, and Latios. He uses the weather for 100% Thunder and a pseudo-STAB in Surf. Latios also punches holes in my opponent's team and is overall a great sweeper. Also, he can get rid of Blissey since he can barely 2HKO with Psyshock.
Conkeldurr@Toxic Orb
252 HP Ev's; 252 Atk Ev's; 6 Speed Evs
1. Mach Punch
2. Drain Punch
3. Stone Edge
4. Payback
Conkeldurr serves as a check to a lot of the metagame. His Mach Punch kills off Tyranitar and Excadrill. Also, he defeats Ferrothorn and Blissey. The only problem is that he doesn't provide very much resistance-wise, and he's pretty slow.
Mamoswine@Life Orb
252 Attack Ev's; 252 Speed Ev's; 6 HP Ev's
Hold: Life Orb
1. Ice Shard
2. Icicle Crash
3. Earthquake
4. Stone Edge
Mamoswine's job is to soak up Electric-type attacks. Also, he is another check to Dragons and kills off Blissey. Once he gets Thick Fat, he'll also be useful for soaking up Ice-type attacks.
Threat List:
Deoxys-S: No, not the lead version. The sweeper version is what's relly trouble. It hits super-effective on almost all my Pokemon, and nothing on my team is faster than it. I have to use a lot of priority to put it down.
Starmie: Nothing on my team's faster than it, and priority is not very effective. He hits super-effective on most f my Pokemon.
Gyarados: Once he sets up one Dragon Dance I have huge trouble.
EDIT: For some reason the images didn't show up. Any help?
