Abomasnow (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Blizzard
- Protect
Role
Obviously the most important pokemon to the team. Without him we wouldnt have the hail to keep us nice and chill on those sunny days, during sandstorms, and when we dont want to go swimming. He starts all of the stalling for the team as he automatically summons the hail storm for us, it is an obvious pokemon for any hail team. He is my best counter to any water types and particularly politoed. I do however have to be aware of possible toxics coming my way or it ruins the set. He also gives me key resistances in electric, water, and grass. I chose this particular sub seed set just because it really builds on the idea of stalling the opponent out. Along with the rocks and toxic spikes it works wonders. Leech seed makes the enemy want to swap out and i just rack up damage and then over time hurt with blizzard and more leech seeds, and cant forget the hail. Thge given evs are pretty basic, im slower than all other storm inducers (except the less common than t-tar hippowdon) so i can always get more hail up if we both lead with our weather inducers. I will be creating a threat list, so all the things that i would like to show you his uses for will be there instead of in this description.

Tentacruel (F) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Blizzard
Role
Tentacruel is rather essential to the team. While i could always use a different spinner such as forretress i just really like tentacruel because he gives hail teams resistance to fire. I think that is just great for the team. Anyway enough of me bragging on tentacruel lets get into his role, he obviously is here to get rid of stealth rocks which are very bothersome to my team as they hit Abomasnow and walrein for 25%. He can rapid spin rocks while being able to check threats and use toxic spikes which in addition to walrein and abomasnow forcing switches works perfectly in combination. Scald gives me the chance to burn things while blizzard is just a very strong attack that i like to use on him. You also may be wondering "uhh jerry... why in the world do you have rain dish on your tentacruel instead of liquid ooze on a hail team?" Well the answer to that is half the metagame is rain teams anyway, and my hail will disappear from drizzles occasionally and why not let my tentacruel benifit from it? So that is the purpose for that choice.

Walrein (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Ice Body
EVs: 172 HP / 124 Def / 212 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Protect
- Ice Beam
Role
The role of walrein is pretty much just to be a bother. He x4 resists water and ice which is pretty cool and with ice body he is constantly healing off all damage and the damage from using a sub. He can really outstall so much with his long lasting bulk. Toxic hits things and racks up the damage with the hail as he continues to use protect and substitute. I use ice beam just for the sole purpose of it has more PP than blizzard, so i can stall later. Like ive said earlier this guy forces switches which gets me damage from tspikes and rocks, and also my precious hail. I honestly think this pokemon deserves some more respect because its just an all out tank capable of lasting and out stalling for many turns to come. Almsot as if hes surviving an ice age that is killing off all of the opponents species.

Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Recover
- Thunder Wave
Role
Immidiatly i hear you all asking me "Jerry, once again whats with the unusual set that we wouldnt be expecting? Why leftovers on a screening set?" Well once again i have the answer! Because hail kind of back fires on me right here. I take damage and as im setting things up my latias dies kinda quickly. I also dont think that the 8 turns is really needed for what im getting screens up for. I usually use the screens to just have screens so stalling is easy... but also i use the screens to switch into things and get up my sub without having to worry about being killed. And also i use it to be able to survive and attack from something (usually this is just for gliscor) and then be able to kill it. This is a bit needed for certain circumstances to prevent some pokemon from wrecking havic. Thunder wave is used to just slow things down and hopefully get some para hax just to rack up some more residual damage. I use the EVS i have because i dont really find the speed most screening sets run to be needed. I prefer having the nice special bulk.

Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 132 Def / 92 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Ice Fang
- Protect
- Taunt
- Earthquake
Role
This pokemons role is to continue the stalling even farther. It is the only pokemon on my team who has access to taunt. Which is really my only thing to even stand a chance against ferrothorns. Ferrothorns are very pestering to my team. Honestly this pokemon or really any bulky steel type have the best chance to beat my team. I cant toxic them and the hail takes forever to kill them so i just have to get up as much damage as i can until i wear them down enough. Now that ive used most of gliscors role to rant about ferrothorns being annoying lets get into the meat of the topic. Hes really good for any stall team; weather orientated or not. His great physical bulk goes well with that of my tentacruels and latias great special bulk. He gives me a nice resistance to fighting attacks, ground attacks, electric attacks, and bug attacks but i might as well just say u-turns. This is really my go to pokemon for scizors who other wise are a bit naughty to hail teams. Bronzong is also a nice option for scizors because i can set up rocks on it and im packing hp fire, but he doesent have access to the recovery that gliscor does from his toxic orb. But in conclusion gliscor really just prolongs the battle enough to hurt their pokemon to the point that they are in a mad frenzy and dont know what to do because they cant break through the solid defensive core im running.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Gyro Ball
- Toxic
Role
The last guy is probably the least important. His main purpose is to set up stealth rocks. He dies so easily because of the hail so his leftovers just counter act that, and he has no other access to any recovery. But he does still have his uses; especially that of being my only thing to hit ferrothorn for super effective damage and the only thing who can resist dragon type moves. He also levitates which is pretty spectacular for a large peice of metal but anyway... I also like the toxic on him because it lets me beat other things that want to try and wall it. Another thing this pokemon is useful for is beating gliscors. I suppose i really am undermining this pokemons abilities because i guess i do see myself going to this pokemon in tight situations to take clutch hits and he jsut survives like a monster. Im sure when i create my threat list ill see how often this pokemon pops up as a check or counter and be regretting i ever said these things about him, but enough ranting im done with the last one!
