Well, I wanted to make a bulky rain team. So I though of some of the most annoying members in all of OU that could be put together. My first goal was to make it a stall team. However, in time it made it change into a somewhat HO rain team with some bulk. So without further ado here is my team.


th

Rain Derp (Politoed) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Toxic
- Perish Song
- Ice Beam

Anyway, as with almost all rain teams (aside from RD SwSw ones...anyway), one must carry Poli. The reason I chose this set Is simple. Scald and IB just for some coverage and not total taunt bait. However, the other 2 moves are important to me. Im able to cut through boosters with PS and IB is just a good coverage move. Anyway. Max hp and def let me survive so many things it's funny to watch.


th




Choke2Croak (Toxicroak) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch

- Sucker Punch
- Substitute
This is the annoyer that just keeps coming back. He has often been the last man standing and because of it, has boosted to +6/6 and been able to stay at 100% for the entire round. This is the guy who gives me an immunity to my own weather, and a free switch-in on many fighting pokemon. The only things that have been able to take him down from the start are Psychic types/moves. And the strange 1-in-a million Banded BB Skarm. And once he's behind a sub, he gets a grand total of 18.5% o his health factoring in rain and lefties. And on top of this, Drain Punch is Icing on his HP bar.




th



Hear THIS ! (Virizion) @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 104 Atk / 152 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Work Up
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Giga Drain


Nothing important here. Just my water resist and uh....oh, mixed so gliscor isnt a pain to him. Anyway, this used to be ab tox heal breloom but this guy has come through way more than brell ever did... and uh.....moving on


th

Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Rock Slide
- X-Scissor
- Sacred Sword
Anyway, the second to my 2 ponies. I chose Terrakkion because of his ability to sweep once his few counters are gone. Which it happens that my team can do decently. Scizzor, burnt, by scald, drained by Tox or just killed by Virizon. This is also my main revenge killer. Without him I would have quite a loss of muscle. Now I use Rock Slide because when it comes to stone edge, it always hits when it's a bonus but it misses when you really need it to hit. But RS is more reliable and it comes with a handy flinch rate.


th


Rouge (Gliscor) (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang


Gliscor comes in handy in many situations. With him I am often times able to ToxStall a few pokemon to death. As an added bonus he gives me something to just slide into thunders. Possibly thinking of adding Gastradon instead but I dont really want so many compounding Grass weaknesses...


th


Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Trick
- Volt Switch
- Pain Split
- Hydro Pump
Just typical trick scarf....Really, he's only here for Volt Swap, Trick-Scarf, and a ground immunity.... Not sure what to replace him with.

Anyway, that's my team
Dead Members:
th

Used to use the king with unnerve just or Pursuit but replaced him with Terakkion

th

Spore was great esp w Drain Punch and tox heal, but this was way too slow.. Replaced with Virizon

In Conclusion, that's my team.. Rate, Comment =, and Advise please. Thanks for reading Smogon
