Hi and welcome to my second RMT! Before I start I would like to say this is my first rain team so this isnt anything special its just a team I made and have had fun using.
The Team at a glance
View attachment 485 View attachment 486
Team building process: 1. I started off wanting a rain team so I put on politoed with a specially defensive set View attachment 485 2. I needed something to cover politoeds weaknesses and set up rocks so I chose ferrothorn View attachment 485View attachment 486 3.I decided on who would be the star of the show enter cloyster! View attachment 485View attachment 486
4. I was weak to fighting so i added Volcarona for my special attacker View attachment 485View attachment 486
5. My brother suggested tentacruel to me so I put it on and changed politoed to a choice specs set View attachment 485View attachment 486
6.finally I needed a revenge killer latios being my favorite scarfer I put it on View attachment 485View attachment 486
In depth analyisis
politoed@Choice specs
ability: drizzle
EVs: 252hp 252 spa 4 spd
Modest nature
-hydro pump
-focus blast
-ice beam
-surf
Needless to say politoed is essential to rain teams so here it is. I slapped on a standard specs set it works well but its awfully predictable. I intend on changing this set when i have the chance
ferrothorn@ leftovers
ability:iron barbs
EVs: 252 hp 4atk 252def
impish nature
-power whip
-leech seed
-stealth rock
-thunder wave
ferrothorn is my favorite wall. this is because it is able to stall out pokemon such as dragonite and scizor with ease. the fact that it supports politoed is just icing on the cake.
Cloyster@focus Sash
ability: skill link
EVs:4hp 252atk 252spe
adamant nature
-shell smash
-icicle spear
-ice shard
-rock blast
Cloyster is an awesome sweeper. It able to easily set up a shell smash when it does so it can outspeed nearly entire teams in the rain. icicle spear and rock blast give it excellent type coverage.
Volcarona@Life orb
ability: flame body
EVs:4hp 252atk 252spe
modest nature
-quiver dance
-bug buzz
-hurricane
-giga drain
Volcarona is my way of using a fire type to take care of grass types without fire moves. Volcarona is great at punching holes in opposing teams to support cloyster. Volcarona is extremely useful on this team.
tentacruel@black sludge
ability:rain dish
EVs:252hp 240spd 16spe
calm nature
-ice beam
-knock off
-toxic
-rapid spin
Tentacruel is a good special tank. Tentacruel also provides support for volcarona by eliminating entry hazards.
latios@choice scarf
ability:levitate
EVs:4hp 252spa 252spe
timid nature
-draco meteor
-psyshock
-thunder
-trick
Latios is the best revenge killer in the current metagame. It is able to take out threats with ease. It also provides the only ground immunity on this team.
Conclusion
This team is very reliable. In the 15 games I played with it I went 11 and 4. Keep in mind i am not the greatest player though. If any skilled players are reading this feel free to use this team as long as you let me know what you rank at.
