Hey guys, here is my first RMT about one of my favourite playstyle : rain team.
The purpose of this team is to eliminate the differents threat kingdra face, then organize a sweep with some boost baton passed. If Roserade managed to put some spikes, the sweep is easier.
The team is still WIP, i enjoy playing it and looking forward to improve it
I tried to have some sweeper to back up kingdra (dragonite and tornadus) if the kingdra fail or the oppenent managed to burn/toxic him.
The team may need some change, for example it needs a spinner and maybe some priority moves.
Roserade @ Black Sludge
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Toxic Spikes
- Weather Ball
- Rain Dance
My classic leader, its goal is to sleep one guy, maybe put one or two layer of spikes depending of the opposit team. if i face a sun team i try to back it up to kill venusaur with weather ball (fire). Surprisly it absorb status move inflicted to my other mons nicely. The bulk is maxed because it has a lot of things to do and sweeping with weather ball is just a surpise factor.
Dragonite @ Choice Band
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Tail
- Earthquake
- Superpower
My weather leader, if i face a nintales, a tyranitar or an abomasnow, i lead with this guy and spam the appropriate spell until the switch out or the death, the only thing it fears it is a will o wisp. I may replace this guy with someone who has a more special oriented approch to avoid this problem. I can also max speed, havent tried yet.
Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Baton Pass
- Calm Mind
- Softboiled
- Reflect
This guy is my buffer, his goal is to use one or two calm mind (i tried nasty plot, but it loose to much bulk), then pass it to kingdra. Here again the def is maxed with a reflect and the S.Def come from the calm mind. It lacks and attack, but i didnt find any room to it.
Tornadus (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Sleep Talk
- U-turn
My scarfer and my momentum-keeper, his main drawback is the low accurracy of his moves, i may need to work on this mon, but its pretty usefull, maybe replace hurricane with air slash, and focus blast with fire blast or some thing like that.
Sleep talk is mainly there to fuck breloom (and other sleeper, but mainly breloom).
It can also be a sucide rain-setup or/and tailwind, but outisde of the rain that kindra pack, i dont really need others.
Kingdra @ Expert Belt
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Surf
- Rain Dance
- Dragon Pulse
- Ice Beam
Here it comes, my late game sweeper, once it setup the rain (sometimes i dont even, depending on whats on the field) it can wreack the whole opposite team, expert belt is just a "fillin" item since i dont like life orb recoil damage, maybe i should replace it with a dragon claw (to get through jellicent and vapoeron with a neutral move).
Ice Beam is mainly a filler move, i have no idea for the last spot.
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SDef / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Charge Beam
There is my trapper, magnezone is here to kill kingdra's nemesis : ferrothorn, once ferrothorn is killed, usually i have a sub, and some boost of SpA, it occasionally allows me to sweep the opponent (unexpected and rather fun). Its other job is to tank outrages (So Def is maxed).
Here finishes this RMT, as you can see it's still WIP, my skills are still WIP too since i'm quite new there. Looking forward for some tips !
Cya in game (or there, as you wish).
PS : if you know some tournament for averaged skilled people, i'm looking for some.
