Heavy Rain (Mono-Water)

[Mozilla Fennekin]

(and an amazing game)

Heavy Rain (Politoed) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Encore
- Protect
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Surprise surprise, Politoed on a Mono-water. What did you expect? He's very capable of taking hits and Protect is there to maybe survive an extra hit with Leftovers or to outlast Outrage. The only thing is that Encore is a bit difficult to pull off due to his low speed.

Wish Washer (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch

Thunderbolt instead of Thunder in case of other weathers. He's in between sweep and support. I may replace him.

Hoffman (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 56 HP / 200 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Bounce
- Waterfall

Ah, my favorite guy, even named after one of my best friends, whose favorite Pokemon is Gyarados. One of the two sweepers on here. It's pretty obvious what should be done, but my opponents don't expect SubDD, as I've pulled it off a shocking amount of times.

Moister (Cloyster) (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Shell Smash
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast

The other sweeper on here. Focus Sash guarantees a turn to set up with Shell Smash 90% of the time, and if the opponent doesn't have priority, look out.

Lord Slug (Gastrodon) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Storm Drain
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 140 SAtk
Modest Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Toxic

I replaced him with Sharpedo because I would get solo'd by Jolteon. Ugh. I gave him Ice Beam instead of a water STAB because I figured it'd help take out Dragon-types, and water is pretty much covered as it is.

Starlight (Starmie) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Rapid Spin
- Psychic

Since Hoffman and Moister are weak to Stealth Rock, a spinner was pretty evident. I chose Starmie over Tentacruel because Starmie has some interesting moves that really get the team going. She's more like Wish Washer in this team, not really a sweeper, but can really help out.

Yeah I'm not great with strategies or anything.

Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it. The standard description length required is three to four lines, if you need more insight look on the detail part, check out the RMT Archive.

You need a minimum of three lines of descriptions for each of your Pokemon. PM me your updated descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
