So, I've decided to create a solid,rain dance OU team,and since I'm pretty new to this, every suggestion would be helpful!
My team is more physically-based rain dance team that I have been working on in the last week.Before it I used to play with a trick room team which turned out pretty well,but since I really love RD teams, I've decided to make one,hopefully good.
So lets start with it:
Crobat-Damp Rock ,Nature-Jolly
-Taunt
-Roost
-Rain Dance
-U-Turn
EV'S
-232hP
-56Def
-76SpD
-144Spe
So,my lead,Crobat.With it's 130 base Speed stat it is one of the fastest pokes,who can taunt the opponet and set up RD,U-Turn and let the sweeping begin! It's other stats are really not that bad,and he can jump in later in-game and set up RD once more if needed.
Bronzong-Damp Rock,Nature-Impish, Trait:Levitate
-Rain Dance
-Explosion
-Stealth Rock
-Reflect
EV's
-252Hp
-152Atk
-8Def
-96SpD
I love this thing.With only weakness with levitate + being in rain,Bronzong takes -50% from it's only weakness,fire.It can set up stealth rock,reflect,RD,explode and let the sweepers do their job.He's more of a mid-game supporter,the idea is:Crobat Taunts,U-Turns to Bronzong,he sets up stealth rock and RD,explodes or switches out to a sweeper.Well this is the main idea but I never know what I will jump into.
Floatzel-Life Orb/Muscle Band, Nature-Adamant
-waterfall
-crunch
-ice punch
-rain dance
EV's
-232Hp
-252Atk
-8Def
16Spe
This thing is the fastest swift swimmer! With it's base 105Atk it can become a powerful sweeper in the rain.His defenses are poor,but he's deadly if played correctly.Waterfall neutrally hits most walls in the game,as most of them are steel,ice punch for dragons and crunch for Azelf and ghosts.The only thing I'm not sure in is to equip him with Life Orb or Muscle Band.Life Orb gives more power,but has recoil which Floatzel doesn't like at all,and Muscle Band for slightly powered Physicall attacks.
Kingdra-Life Orb,Nature-Rash/Mild Trait:Swift Swim
-waterfall
-hydropump/surf
-draco meteor
-ice beam
EV'S
-208Atk
-136Spa
-164Spe
Standard mixed sweeper kingdra.I'm still thinking of replacing Draco Meteor with Outrage,since it lowers my SpA and I I've got 3 Sp.Atks on Kingdra.Anyway it is ment to be a late game sweeper,being able to deal with both defensive and specially defensive poke's makes her very useful and destructive.This set can also work out of RD,but in RD it shows its' real power. With a 120 base power RD boosted Hydro Pump it demolishes the physically based OU metagame.Draco Meteor to hit grass pokes and other water types that resist its' hydro pump.
Jolteon-Life Orb/Leftovers,Nature-Modest
-yawn
-substitute
-thunder
HP(ice/grass)
EV'S
-252SpA
-4SpD
-252Spe
Here I've decided to make some changes,instead of a fully dedicated Sp sweeper I've decided to make Jolteon harder to take down.100% Accurate thunder in rain and hp(ice or grass) to hit the rest.Yawn to check the opponets team and substitute to survive more.
Scizor-Life Orb, Nature-Adamant, Trait:Technician
-bullet punch
-pursuit
-superpower
-U-Turn
EV'S
-252Atk
-174Hp
-82Spe
I've put scizor inside my team to make sure things like Tyranitar won't ruin my fun since he's the biggest threat to RD teams.Scizor is for sure a great asset to every team since he can revenge kill Tyranitar,and U-Turn Celebi for a hard hit.In rain,Scizor also survives Zapdos' Heat Wave or Magnezones' HP Fire.
I wrote this quickly,so sorry if I made some spelling mistakes or it isn't very decorative.Anyway,I hope you guys will leave good suggestions and critiques, and thank you in advance ^^
