ok i got the idea for a Rain Dance Double Team here on smogon a few months back from an old post for creative double team stratagies... i kinda jacked an idea and tried it and i want to see your opinion on my finished work.
TEAM OVERVIEW
FIRST TEAM
&
Claydol @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Defense / 122 Sp. Defense
* Earthquake
* Rock Slide
* Explosion
* Skill Swap
Claydol's purpose is to skill swap with its partner Lapras. removing that 2x weakness to water and assault away. Earthquake for stab and Rock Slide for lack of better coverage, explosion handles anything ill have trouble with off the start.
Lapras @ Damp Rock
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Modest
EVs: 164 HP / 252 Defense / 94 Sp. Attack
* Surf
* Thunder
* Protect
* Rain Dance
Simple and effective; Rain Dance off the start, 100% accurate Thunder away, Surf for stab and protect when the clay doll goes ka-boom.
SECOND TEAM
&
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Modest
EVs: 152 HP / 252 Sp. Attack / 108 Speed
* Surf
* Ice Beam
* Grass Knot
* Rain Dance / Protect
Ludicolo comes in if Lapras dies in the first assault. Ludi can back up Cloydol if hes still kicking and can support Poli when need be with surf. a basic ludicolo rain dance offense set.
Poliwrath @ Life Orb
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Attack / 6 Speed
* Focus Punch
* Ice Punch
* Waterfall
* Substitute
Poliwrath comes into play if Claydol is knocked out, joining Lapras and using that water absorb ability to sub and punch away. ice punch for coverage, waterfall for more stab.
So thats the Team. mostly basic sets and i have a lot of fun with it, items are a bit off but work for the most part; if anyone has opinions go ahead and post :p
