Let it Rain Cheese. [Rain Dance Team]







Nothing much to say for my introduction, since this will be my first post, and hope people will give me awesome suggestions. Since, sometime I just go on a losing streak, which ticks me off, but doesn't it ticks everybody off? So here's my first Rain Dance Team.

Crobat (M) @ Damp Rock
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Rain Dance
- Taunt
- Air Slash
- Hypnosis

My most useful rain dance user, or my rain dance lead. Rain dance doesn't need explanation. Taunt is for the SR TS S, status problems, and nothing to be further explain for this move. Air Slash for the fighting types because I have no idea why my team get easily pounded by fighting types such as Scrafty, or I just don't know when to use taunt on them. Hypnosis for the heavily, dangerous pokes. Crobat is awesome to come back in for abusing rain dance since it seems like it always go first, or hypnosis to stop those pokemon with a lot of sword dances, etc. HPev for surviving, Atkev for just the extra, and speed to go first.

Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP / 240 SAtk / 16 Spd
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)

- Waterfall
- Hydro Pump
- Signal Beam
- Draco Meteor

Kingdra is my most strongest sweeper, able to kill anything pretty much with OHKO. But his hydro pump miss just arggggggg. Waterfall and hydropump is like instant kill under the rain, signal beam for celebi or starmie that always think they can kill me. Draco Meteor for the Latios, and dragons. EV nothing to explain.

Kabutops (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 204 HP / 252 Atk / 52 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor

The physical sweeper in the rain. He's like an assassin. Waterfall for the main water attack, Aqua jet kills the weak pokemon, Stone edge kills gyrados easily, X-Scissor kills celebi easily too. His survivability is not that great, but the killing, booyah like Mac n cheese.

Azumarill (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Ice Punch
- Aqua Jet
- Superpower

Azumarill is super wicked at the rain since he'll be my main attacker. Band aqua jet OHKO weak pokemon which is so wicked. Waterfall great damage too or i need it when i said " Hey i might be faster than him " and bam the opponent is gone. Ice punch for dragons since they are able to wipeout my whole team few times "Shivers" and Superpower for blissey, snorlax, heatran,etc. Choice band is for the OP power since I don't have swift swim.

Ludicolo (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Electric]

My secondary rain sweeper but it kill 5 pokemons once in a row which is wow.
Surf for the rain power, ice beam for the dragons/grass, energy ball to OHKO vapereon, quagsire, swampert. Hidden power for the gyrados. Nothing more to say.

Jirachi @ Damp Rock
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rain Dance
- Thunder
- Water Pulse
- Wish

My 2nd rain dancer, since thunder is able to OHKO crobat. Jirachi can withstand any attack even fire thanks to his EVs. Wish is for healing, thunder to paralyze, water pulse stops pokemon when setting up RD. Nothing more to say

----------------------------
Tyranitar (easy)
Gastrodon (easy)
Scrafty (easy)
Sawsbuck (medium)
 
One major weakness I found in your team is the move thunder. Thunder will always hit in the rain, and will deal base 120 super-effective damage to 5 of your 6 pokemon. In order to avoid being full-team sweeped by thunder, I would suggest putting in a water/ground pokemon, which would fully resist thunder. Options include Gastrodon, Quagsire, and Seismatoad.
 
I just recently made a rain dance team, so I have some advices.

1. Thunder actually deals super effective damage to THREE members, crobat, kabutops, and azumarill.

2. I think you should replace Jirachi with bronzong, i have him on my team, its really effective.
Example set.
Bronzong@Damp Rock
Trait: Levitate
Evs: 252hp/152Def/104SDef
Relaxed Nature(+Def,-Spd)
-Rain Dance
-Stealth Rock
-Hidden Power Ice
-Earthquake

3.Kabutops and azumarill does the same thing, so just use one of them. I recommend Breloom since he counters most weather inducers. (He also resists electric)

4.Your crobat has a special attack but his nature is jolly?? change the attack to brave bird.

Help i helped
 
Breloom sets

1. All-out attacker@toxic orb
Poison heal
Jolly nature 4hp/252atk/252Spd
-spore
-seed bomb
-mach punch
-stone edge

2. SubPunch@Toxic orb
Poison heal
-spore
-substitute
-focus punch
-seed bomb

Set 1 for coverage, set 2 for breaking walls. Poison heal+toxic orb keeps breloom healthy, you could change set 1 item to life orb for more damage.
