Fun in the Rain

[LuistheNinja]

Well, I love using Rain Dance Teams this is actually my 4th Rain Dance team. I tend not to stick to the Tiers but when I saw most of my pokemons were UU's I decided it to be an all UU team. Rate as much as you can, if possible leave a comment about each pokemon.

Qwilfish@ Focus Sash (Swift Swim)
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
252Atk/252Spd.
- Waterfall
- Posion Jab
- Rain Dance
- Destiny Bond/Explosion
With focus sash it can at least set the rain, it can sweep or atempt to sweep with Waterfall after the rain is up or take an opponent with Destiny Bond or Explosion. Posion jab for fellow Water and Grass Types.

Phione @ Leftovers/Damp Rock (Hydration)
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
252Hp/252Sp.Atk
- Surf
- Toxic
- Rest
- Rain Dance
Continues the rain, stall with TOxic then Recover the damage with Rest, hydration will cure the sleep status. Surf packs some power after the Rain Dance + STAB boost.

Kingler@ Choice Scarf (Hyper Cutter)
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk)
- Waterfall
- X-Scissor
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
STAB Waterfalls hurt, with Rain Dance boost they are deadly. Basic Scarf Kingler, I ran with Adamant for more Power, the moveset leaves a wide coverage.

Toxicroak @ Black Sludge (Dry Skin)
Adamant Nature (+Atk,-Sp. Atk)
252HP/164Atk/92 Def
- Swords Dance
- Brick Break
- Posion Jab
- Sucker Punch
Im doubting about the EV spread, but I tried to make it as bulkiear as possible to I can Swords Dance a little bit more. Blakc Sludge + Dry Skin allow him to recover a little. After a Swords Dance he can sweep, Psychic users fear Sucker Punch.

Manetric @ Life Orb (Static)
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Sp.Atk)
252SpAtk/252Spd
- Rain Dance
- Flamethrower/Sub
- Thunder
- HP Ice/Grass
Not sure about it, in UU HP grass is better, Substitute might help to set the Rain Behind it and Flamethrower will deal little damage in the Rain so not sure yet. Else than that this guy is to take down other bulky Water types.

Gorebyss @ Life Orb (Swift Swim)
Modest Nature (+SpAtk, -Atk)
252SpAtk/252Spd.
- Surf
- HP Grass/Electric
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
After the rain is up thi thing is the main sweeper. With a 359 Sp.Atk Stat booted by a Life Orb, STAB and Rain Dance Surf OHKO's many things in the UU game. The other moves are for basic coverage.

Is basically an all offensive team, so make any suggestions. I feel like my Rain Inducers are too fragile and I might run out of Rain after sometime, im not sure who is another good Rain inducer for UU.

Meh... You'd probably be better off running the standard Electrode rain setup, as you're not in need of offense. Also, Destiny Bond>Explosion.
------
Phione should be substituted for Dewgong, as it has better defenses and can do everything that phione can do in substitute for a few extra weaknesses.

Dewgong @ Damp Rock (Your team needs the extra rain turns desperately)
Modest-Hydration
252 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/4 Def
>Rain Dance
>Surf
>Toxic/Encore (I prefer Encore to punish pokemon who set up/use non-attacking move)
>Rest
------
Kingler is an awesome pokemon, no doubt, but isn't really needed as it barely benefits from rain dance as much as other could. The truth is that something like Kabutops is better suited. Standard Rain Dance Kabutops should take his place.
------
Toxicroak is being used wrong. No matter what, toxicroak is much too fragile to abuse the healing from dry skin that way. Use life orb on him, as the LO damage will be healed upon the end of turn. And a big no-no to the EVs. A standard sweeping 252 Atk/252 Spe is much better.
I'd prefer seeing Cross Chop + Stone Edge over Poison Jab and Brick Break, but I guess that's personal preferance. :/ You could try a SubPunch set, aswell (in which case you won't use LO).
------
I'd like to see Manectric with:
>Rain Dance
>Substitute
>Thunder
>Hidden Power [Water]

Hmm It can't touch Grassers, though.
------
Gorebyss is standard, it's good.

This team lacks defense, and has MANY weaknesses to it. I recommend:

Nidoqueen @ Leftovers
Poison Point-Impish
252 HP/ 96 Atk/ 160 Def
>Rain Dance
>Stealth Rock
>Earthquake
>Stone Edge

Overall, the team lacks the abilty to beat prediction heavy-hitters. Making the team more balanced is reccomended I suppose, because as a fully offensive team it doesn't utilize Rain Dance enough, or hit hard enough. You need a bulky pokemon to set up rain dance.

Yeah...that's my analization, and I'm pretty sure those pictures are not permitted.

Kingler can't learn waterfall. It has Crabhammer in it's place with a little more power but much less accuracy.
