[SET COMMENTS]

This set attempts to utilize Golduck's decent offensive stats and Swift Swim to function as a rain sweeper. However, other rain sweepers such as Ludicolo, Floatzel, and Omastar are more viable options due to their secondary typing, higher speed, and ability to boost their stats with Shell Smash, respectively.

(why do these mons outclass golduck? Ludicolo has grass STAB, floatzel is the fastest under rain and omastar hits the hardest and has coverage)

This set attempts use Golduck's solid movepool(I wouldnt call that a very diverse movepoll for a water type), decent offensive stats, and Swift Swim to function as a rain sweeper. However, other rain sweepers such as Ludicolo, Floatzel, and Omastar are more viable rain sweepers due to their secondary-typing, higher speed, and ability to boost their stats with Shell Smash respectively.
