Dual Weather [An OU RMT]

[Silversleeping]

Okay, so i got bored one day and decided i wanted Abomasnow AND Tyranitar on one team, for kicks really. it turned out pretty good, ive never lost to any other weather based team and do pretty awesome the rest of the time.

Team Building History:

Abomasnow + Tyranitar were givens, what i wanted to begin with, TTar was originally a curse tank and Abomasnow a Scarfer

Skarmory
I needed something sturdy enough to take hits from physical attackers (mainly opposing TTars, Gyaras and Fighting types). also needed a spiker

Mamoswine
Who better to be a physical attacker on this team than someone immune to both weather effects im throwing around

Rotom-F
Needed a Spin Blocker as well as something to help stall. originally a Restalker.

Bronzong
Needed a Reliable Stealth Rock lead

Swampert
Bronzong Gave me too much of a fire weakness in my team, also having hail up lets swampert stall and abuse Blizzard



My Team:

Lead
Swampert@Leftovers
Torrent
HP:252 Def:240 SpDef:16
Relaxed
-Stealth Rocks
-Earthquake
-Blizzard
-Protect

I chose swampert as my lead because, one hes sturdy, two he resists fire, electric, rock... and just about anything ttar or heatran can throw at him. He (barring a taunt) Always gets up SR and can either attack from there or switch out accordingly.

Physical Attacker
Mamoswine@Life Orb
Snow Cloak
Atk:252 Speed:252 Def:4
Adamant
-Earthquake
-Ice Shard
-Stone Edge
-Superpower

My Dragon Slayer. Also Handles TTar very well, and once the fiel is clear of his counters, and with SR, Sand/Hail, and a few layers of spikes up, nearly everything is OHKOed.

Subseed Staller
Abomasnow@leftovers
Snow Warning
HP:6 SpAtk:252 Speed:252
Timid
-Blizzard
-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Protect
Can Switch in on a wide range of attacks, Mainly Grass, Ground, Water, and Electric... which means swampert suicune rotom (barring rotom-h) starmie frosslass glaceon vaporeon etc etc.. throw up seeds or a sub if i predict a switch and proceed to stall while inflicting damage with hail AND leech seed. and of course lets not forget about the hail he sets up.

Spiker/ Defensive Wall
Skarmory@leftovers
Keen Eye
HP:252 Atk:40 Def:200 Speed:16
Impish
-Brave Bird
-Spikes
-Roost
-Whirlwind
can switch in on scizor with inpunity and set up spikes, then shuffle the other team. can also switch in on TTar, gyarados, just about any fighting type and numerous other physical attackers

Boosting Tank
Rotom-F@Choice Scarf
Levitate
Speed:252 SpAtk:252 HP:6
Modest
-Blizzard
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Trick
*changed*Checks DD gyarados with T-bolt, DD salamence w/Blizzard, and anything else trying to set up with trick. can easily abuse Blizzards 100% accuracy in the hail. also can come in on any of its immunities and resistances, and either trick if appropriate or hit it with a STAB, even if its not super effective, it has a good chance of KOing alot of enemies with all the residual damage going around

Revenge Killer
Tyranitar@Choice Scarf
Sand Stream
Atk:252 Speed:252 HP:6
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit
-Earthquake
-Crunch
last, But Definently not least. my Tyranitar, Activates Sandstorm, and is able to kill most if not all the pokemon the rest of my team has troubles with, heatran, azelf, lucario, salamence, and any other psychic or ghost types. also another great benfit of ScarfTar is the ability to absorb trick

Two weathers is really counter productive, the downsides outweigh the benefits from overloading your team with too many different types. If Abomasnow drops, that makes all of your Blizzard users practically useless.

IIRC Charge Beam won't be enough to OHKO a Gyarados, and if he gets one DD off he can pretty much solo your entire team, especially if he has taunt to stop your Skarmory. If you absolutely HAVE to have a Hail/SS Team, try switching Fridge Rotom to a resttalk set with Thunderbolt since Tyranitar can pretty much cover anything Shadow Ball does.

Switched rotom to a Scarfer, and also switched swamperts blizzard to ice beam, that way if abomasnow goes down ive only got one poke with blizzard being useless. what im having problems with is infernape and machamp... suggestions?

I would take out abomansow, and replace swampert with hippowdon, Hippowdon and tyranitar work together and give you 2 weather set uppers. Then I would recomend a tentacruel in abomansows place, I would change t-tar to a DD babri berry set/ a curse set, and switch mamoswine, with a calm mind suicune. But the current team does not seem as effective in OU, with the duel weather combinations, sorry to "rain" on your parade
